Buick Angkor banner: Hailar at MINUS 30℃, heating and four-wheel drive are indispensable.

Like last year, it was in Hailar, and it was 30 degrees below zero. It is also on a frozen lake, and it is also an original ecological ice and snow track carefully decorated by forklifts. It's just that it's no longer Porsche 9 1 1, but a row of Angkor flags.

Drifting on the ice in a medium-sized SUV? ! Think about it. Isn't it a little weird? In the two-day experience camp of Buick's strongest SUV, Angkebana told us with facts that big guys can be flexible. Not only that, the timely four-wheel drive system, which has always been despised by off-road enthusiasts, has successfully refreshed our understanding of "pseudo four-wheel drive".

East of Hailar

East of Hailar is almost the city with the lowest frequency of BBA.

Landing at Hailar airport, a biting cold wind suddenly swept away the fatigue of long-distance flight. Looking around, the hills in the distance have been heavily made up, and the slow-moving cars on the road emit a long line of hot air. The unique scenery in northern winter makes everyone relaxed and happy.

Looking at the streets, except for some SUVs with snow tires, most of them are front-driven cars that are crawling forward. As for those BBAs that insist on not being rear-driven and luxurious, they are really rare.

According to the local master, Hailaer District, located on the edge of Hulunbeier, is covered with snow and ice for more than half of the year, and it is difficult for rear-wheel drivers to control even if they are equipped with snow tires. In this regard, as one of the Porsche ice and snow test drivers, I deeply agree.

So in harald, the most popular way for the rich is undoubtedly the SUV with four-wheel drive system. In this Buick strongest SUV experience camp, we will also experience the agility of four-wheel drive SUV on the ice with empathy.

Review subject two on the ice

Huhe Nuoer Natural Lake, one kilometer away from the extremely cold test center of China Automotive Research Institute, has already frozen in the temperature of MINUS 30 degrees, becoming a natural venue for our ice and snow test drive.

Four bulldozers were working at the same time, moving back and forth on the frozen lake. On the endless ice, four subjects are prepared for us, namely linear acceleration, road stability, skill 360 and ice ring drift.

Looking at the long-awaited, steaming Angkeqi traffic jam, Lao Zhang, who was in the car with me, joked that this was simply a review of subject 2, or a northeast version.

According to the grouping, we followed the guided car to the linear acceleration zone. Domestic consumers are no strangers to linear acceleration, but in fact, ice operation is not as easy as floor oil drying.

In order to help vehicles have a better grip on the ground, our Angkewei flag was replaced with a nail tire of 1cm, which has stronger adhesion than ordinary snow tires. Nevertheless, in the starting area, the red light is on, and the tires in the starting state of floor oil are still slipping in place.

On Angkor, 2.0T engine and 9-speed HYDRA-MATIC intelligent gearbox cooperate with each other, with maximum power of 237 HP (174 kW) /5000rpm and maximum torque of 350 Nm/1500-4000rpm. So even with the escort of nail tires and the blessing of four-wheel drive system,

After many attempts, we have mastered the temper of this big SUV. The four-wheel drive mode is still selected, and the ESP is turned off at the same time to ensure that the power is not limited by the traction control system when the tire slips.

It is worth mentioning that the intelligent all-road four-wheel drive system equipped by Angkewei can not only realize the torque switching between the left and right rear wheels, but also support the disconnection between the four-wheel drive and the two-wheel drive, especially in the four-wheel drive mode. The power transmission efficiency is extremely high.

When you start, step on the accelerator slowly. With the increase of vehicle speed, the side slip of the vehicle body can be obviously felt. By fine-tuning the steering wheel, you try to straighten the posture of the car body. With the adhesion of all four tires restored, all the remaining throttles are output at this time.

After many tests, even in the state of carrying two people, the 0- 100km acceleration performance of Angke Banner is locked at around 7. 1 second.

Slow and steady practice?

Compared with linear acceleration, the steady running in the afternoon field is more exciting. I remember driving a brand-new Panamera in Porsche's ice and snow test drive a year ago. For a time, I thought it was crazy to drift in a medium-sized car.

Who would have thought that two years later, in the same place, I would drive a medium-sized and large SUV to challenge a 3.88km ice and snow track.

Also switch to four-wheel drive mode. Turn off the ESP system and let more power be released to the front and rear wheels. With the blessing of the four-wheel drive system, I urged Angkeqi to eject from the starting area.

Unexpectedly, in the first corner, the Angkewei banner with the length of 498 1mm appeared uncontrollable tail flick. More haste, less speed is undoubtedly the only way on the ice and snow track. In order to improve the average speed of the track, only drift can improve the ride comfort of the curve.

As the most commonly used move in rally, "Scandinavian corner" is also suitable for ice and snow track. However, unlike ordinary sports cars with short wheelbase, it is more difficult for a big guy like Angkeqi to transfer his center of gravity before entering the corner.

Although the wheelbase is not dominant in extreme driving, the handling performance displayed by Angkor Banner still impressed everyone. With the increase of the car body, you can feel the change of the car body posture more and more, and the flexible backswing of Angkor banner also makes this big guy comfortable in the track.

The only thing you need to vomit is that you may need more strength and more frequent steering wheel alignment to mobilize the body of this big MAC. However, it is worthy of recognition that Angkewei's performance in chassis adjustment far exceeds that of its peers.

As for the remaining skills 360 and ice ring drift, they are similar to the previous subjects. I don't want to repeat it here. Thanks to the lightweight design and sports chassis adjustment, Angkor Banner left a deep impression on everyone with its flexible posture.

Talking about cars

When it comes to the sportiness of SUV, the first thing people can think of is naturally BMW X series. As we all know, for SUV models, due to the height of the chassis, the control has always been a short board.

Buick ice and snow test drive camp, through the more extreme ice and snow track, let us feel Angkewei's solid chassis adjustment skills and fast dynamic response. Successfully refreshed people's inherent understanding of the bulkiness of medium and large SUVs.
