Russia is purely imported! Big G four-wheel drive off-road van, Wazi Traveler160,000?

As we all know, China is the largest automobile seller in the world. In China, in addition to independent brands, the team of joint venture car brands is also quite strong. For example, European cars, Japanese cars, American cars, Korean cars and German cars, but it seems that few people have heard of Sino-Russian joint venture cars, and even cars imported directly from Russia are almost blank. As one of the strongest countries in heavy industry, Russian automobile products have not entered China, the world's largest automobile consumer.

In fact, a few years ago, Russian cars briefly entered the China market. For example, on 20 17, they fought against the national independent brand Radaniva? SUV came to China as a parallel imported car. Unfortunately, because the performance of vehicles is too elementary, NIVA is basically not seen in major cities across the country. The "figure" of the SUV.

However, Russia does not want to give up the gold rush in China. Recently, a Russian van, Vaz Traveler, was officially introduced to China. The pre-sale price of ordinary edition 158800 yuan, and the pre-sale price of commemorative edition 168800 yuan. Interestingly, this car is limited to 300 units in China!

After listening to the estimate, netizens want to vomit: Is it necessary for a van to be so proud? Is our Wuling Hong Guang not fragrant enough?

Look at the slogan on its poster: "Off-road four-wheel drive van that can easily reach all corners of the world." Even Mercedes-Benz G wouldn't dare say such wild things, would it?

In this way, only Unimok can actually compete with Wazi travelers. Living fossils of cross-country circles, such as Toyota LC76, Le Tu Y6 1, have to be humble in front of them.

Slogan: where you can't get through, tanks can't get through.

Are wretched travelers really emboldened? First, let's talk about its background. The younger generation in China may not know much about Russian cars, and perhaps their parents and grandparents only came into contact with them when they were young. Wazi Voyager was produced by Ulyanovsk Automobile Factory in 1966. It used to be a military vehicle, and it also appeared in various usage scenarios in Russia as a wheeled vehicle, which can be said to be the representative of Russian-made models.

In Russia, this traveler still has a huge number until now. If you don't know anything about it, I can introduce his brother to you, named Watts Hunter. That's right, it's the magic car that can accompany you over mountains and mountains in the game of eating chicken, and AWM can't shoot the accident. This car was also imported to the China market in parallel, but in the end, it was used as a combat vehicle in Survival of the Jedi to let everyone feel its powerful performance.

Your brother is so powerful, the wretched traveler is naturally made of iron. At present, it is the only hard-core van in China that meets the national six emission standards and can cross-country with high intensity. In terms of off-road capability, Watts Traveler adopts the same non-loaded body as the hard-core off-road vehicle, and the chassis is a trapezoidal frame integral bridge structure? , also known as belt beam, front and rear non-independent suspension, with spring and shock absorber. At the same time, it also adopts a part-time four-wheel drive system, equipped with a low-speed four-wheel drive mode and a rear axle differential lock.

This set of equipment basically ensures that off-road hardware belongs to the best. Driving it can really do whatever you want, and you can easily try the road that millions of off-road vehicles dare not take. Simple structure, convenient maintenance, strong bearing capacity, no need to worry about the cost, and you can indulge in cross-country. Of course, don't worry about comfort, just drive ... it's true to bring a few more bottles of activated oil. After a day's impact on the bumpy road, your hips will be bruised!

Travelers' passability is also quite strong, with a minimum ground clearance of 205mm and a maximum wading depth of 500mm, and approach angle and departure angles of 30 and 27 respectively. In the face of the ups and downs of sandy roads, you can hang up a high-speed four-wheel drive and run wildly, without worrying that it will last to the end.

In this way, for less than 654.38+0.6 million yuan, you can buy a car with better off-road ability, economy and durability, and simple maintenance cost than Prado. Isn't it a little delicious? Don't jump to conclusions yet.

Although the Wazi travelers who entered China this time are nominally a brand-new generation, in fact, they haven't really changed for several generations since the production of 1966. This time, it's the same as the old one.

The appearance that has been inherited for more than half a century can no longer be described as "retro", but should be called "ancient taste of ancient juice". The front face looks a little cute. With halogen lamp, the adjustment of the exterior rearview mirror is simple and rude, and it will be finished directly. As for the turn-back rate, such an "antique car" will definitely have a higher turn-back rate than Wuling Hong Guang, and if it stops next to Mercedes-Benz S-Class, it may win more attention.

When you open the car door, you must hold your breath and be mentally prepared. Young people should study. This is what the old liberation car looked like in the 1970s and 1980s. Science and technology fan LCD central control large screen+luxury sports seats are much more common, and it is difficult to find such a plastic interior atmosphere in 2020. Two-piece large-size steering wheel, long rod-shaped manual shift lever, central instrument that only displays vehicle speed and does not display vehicle speed, etc. , all by feeling shift. At best, it can give drivers full driving desire.

The engine is arranged in the middle of the main and co-pilot seats, which can provide a certain amount of heat for the car in winter and is suitable for the car scene in Russia's ice and snow days; For a skilled old driver, you can estimate the approximate speed by the roar of the engine.

Some people will worry, what about China in summer? Travelers also came from China, and Watts specially installed air conditioners for the models imported to China!

In terms of power, Watts travelers who meet the national six emission standards don't have to worry about licensing. It is equipped with a 2.4L gasoline engine, with maximum power 108kW and peak torque of 230Nm.

Judging from the current technology, this shows that it is not a set of power combinations belonging to off-road vehicles. Off-road vehicles need high torque to reduce the risk of skidding and jamming, so excellent off-road vehicles such as Jeep Shepherd and G500 all use high-torque turbocharged engines, including domestic tank 300. Off-road vehicles equipped with self-priming engines such as Prado and Pajero have been discontinued. As a product of 2020, Wazi Traveler seems a little out of date.

Write it at the end

For such a car that is completely out of touch with the times, the price of 654.38+0.6 million is destined to be the concubine of minority players. Of course, Owa didn't intend to let go. There are only 300 sets in China!

Travelers' products are indeed backward and retro, but it is undeniable that compared with many vans, its mechanical quality is outstanding. In China, you want to buy a van with four-wheel drive, except it! The durable leather, strong bearing capacity and good passability are the reasons why it can still sell well in Russia half a century after its product came out.

It is a new choice for a small number of cross-country players in China. However, it should be noted that this car only needs tens of thousands in Russia, which has doubled in China!

Many people say that baby travelers are industrial garbage, and it's really not worth spending 16000. what do you think? Is it feelings or industrial waste? Leave a message to discuss it!
