Let my fiery soul run wild on the frost, test drive the Buick Angke flag in ice and snow

Winter in Beijing is the most beautiful scene in winter. The Forbidden City after the snow makes people dream back to the Forbidden City; winter in Hailar is the most authentic scene in winter, with boundless white pure and flawless, minus 30 degrees Celsius. The severe cold brought everything in the world to a standstill.

The ice and snow cannot seal the scorching engine and our fiery hearts. The 2019 Buick SUV Powerful Experience Camp Ice and Snow Paradise is held here. On the frozen Hohnuoer Lake, we will experience Buick’s new The ultimate performance of the flagship SUV Angkeqi.

The ice and snow test drive not only proves the reliability of the vehicle in extremely cold weather, but also mainly considers the vehicle's four-wheel drive performance and the coordination ability of the engine and gearbox. Of course, the premise of all this is the grip of the tires. Ordinary snow tires are not enough on ice. Only studded tires can ensure sufficient traction and braking force.

In fact, the ice and snow test drive mainly tests the linearity of the power output and the four-wheel drive capability. There is nothing to explain about the four-wheel drive capability. Let’s mainly talk about the power output.

First of all, the engine output must be linear. Turbine lag leads to sudden bursts of power that will make the vehicle difficult to control. Secondly, the gearbox must be smooth and fast with the engine, without any sluggishness or power delay. Finally, the throttle must be When adjusting, the throttle should linearly correspond to the engine speed. A nervous throttle response will result in too much force, while a throttle that is too slow will not go away, giving the driver the illusion of insufficient power, resulting in a sudden surge of power after deeply pressing the accelerator.

The above three parts of the engine, gearbox, and throttle need to be perfectly coordinated to achieve linear power output and controllability on ice and snow roads. In this regard, Angkeqi's 2.0T 9AT is very well matched. It is like driving a large naturally aspirated car. The easy-to-control power output makes Angkeqi perform very calmly on the ice.

Five events were arranged for this ice and snow test drive: Snow Dynamic Square, Ice and Snow Dynamic Square·Speed ??Slalom, Ice and Snow Dynamic Square·Skills 360, Ice and Snow Circle·Ice Ring Drift Challenge , Steady control·Limited time challenge.

Snow Dynamic Square

To put it simply, it is a 0-200m acceleration race. Even though it is a long straight, you can feel the maturity of vehicle tuning, because even if When you nail the tires, the result of your heavy foot on the accelerator is that the tires spin, so the driver needs to control the accelerator accurately to make the vehicle start smoothly, which requires extremely high smoothness of the car's power output.

After speeding up, delicate power output is also required, because even with the help of the four-wheel drive system, when the driving force is too large, the body posture will tend to sway from side to side. At this time, the driver needs to control the accelerator. Make fine adjustments to let the wheels regain grip. Angkeqi's linear power output makes the whole process easier and more controllable.

Speed ??Slalom

Slalom is a slalom event in alpine skiing. When put here, it is what we usually call slalom. However, the driving experience and skills are still the same as slalom on dry land. There is a big difference, because there is not enough grip on ice and snow, so understeer and oversteer will appear alternately due to small changes in how you control the vehicle.

Set the four-wheel drive to off-road mode and turn off the electronic stability system. At this time, the four-wheel drive has a lot of front and rear power distribution, and there is no interference from the electronic stability program on power output. On snow, the sensitivity of the steering system is weakened, and the linearity of the throttle, the followability of the body and the four-wheel drive capability of the vehicle are more important. The brakes must not be applied here, otherwise the center of gravity will shift and the tracking will be lost. Moderate Retract and release the accelerator, use the power to control the body, and cooperate with the steering to complete the circle.

Skills 360

In this project, Angkeqi will tow a RV with a dead weight of more than 1 ton. What is tested here is Angkeqi’s four-wheel drive capability and power. The 2.0T engine's maximum torque of 350N·m can burst out at 1500rpm, and it can easily tow a RV. However, on icy and snowy roads, the towing ability relies more on the four-wheel drive system than power.

Angkeqi's intelligent all-road four-wheel drive system consists of a bilateral hydraulic clutch, which can control the torque distribution of the front and rear axles, and can also adjust the left and right rear wheel torque between 100:0-0:100.

Ice Ring Drift Challenge

In layman’s terms, it is fixed circle drift. The test here is still the four-wheel drive response speed and the smoothness of power output. After accelerating and reverse direction, you You can drift by controlling the throttle and fine-tuning the direction. You must know that many "weak" four-wheel drive cannot make continuous drift even on snow. Angkeqi's four-wheel drive can achieve long-distance sliding. The system's wide torque distribution contributes greatly.

Steady Track

This project is equivalent to a track experience. Buick has planned a 3.88km ice and snow track on the lake, including long straights, short straights, high-speed corners, and low-speed Bends, hairpin bends, and combination bends can be regarded as a combination of the previous events, a comprehensive test of vehicle tuning.

There are two driving methods here, one is to turn on the electronic stability system at a basic level and drive in a slow and steady manner, and the other is to play a more unrestrained and advanced way, turning off the electronic stability system. program, fully utilizing the power output and four-wheel drive system to control the vehicle.

After shifting to L gear, the gearbox can be restricted from upshifting, so that the speed can be intuitively used to control power output without worrying about the power gap caused by upshifting and downshifting. The Angkeqi's performance on the ice and snow track is completely unlike such a large car. The body posture remains very relaxed and it is easy to control. It is completely unlike such a large SUV. The four-wheel drive system once again made a contribution, making the Angkeqi controllable on the track. Coupled with the linear power output, the whole process was quite refreshing.

Summary

Going wild on the ice does not sound like something that a luxury mid-to-large SUV like Angkeqi can do, but because Angkeqi is equipped with a set of powerful The four-wheel drive system makes "ice and snow pulling" possible. Smooth power output keeps everything under control, and control in extreme environments can more intuitively reflect the level of vehicle tuning. Angkeqi's performance has surpassed that of its class, not only is it luxurious and comfortable, but it also has an excellent chassis. Quality, comprehensive quality is stronger.
