Car of the Year Award

Generation Z has just entered the society, plunged into the army of "migrant workers" and gradually adapted to the fast-paced life. Interestingly, after imitating the 8s, they often talk about "plain is true", but they never have a sense of identity in their hearts. "Interesting" is the true meaning of life in Generation Z. How to make "interesting" less formalistic has gradually become a new "life concept" in Generation Z. For example, the punk regimen of "adding medlar to whiskey" means a more violent release, so is there an SUV that can also bring the same feeling to Generation Z? The answer is yes.

in the 6th issue, our protagonist is: FAW-Volkswagen Tanyue X (model X(22? 38TSI? Four-wheel drive respects Zhilian Edition)

As the first Coupe of FAW-Volkswagen brand? SUV——? Exploring Yue X was named as "the most beautiful Volkswagen SUV" at the beginning of its appearance. Undoubtedly, exploring Yue X is FAW-Volkswagen's "killer weapon" for the Z generation. The new car has changed the sedateness and dignity of exploring Yue, and interpreted what is "softness with rigidity" with elegant slip curve. Exploring Yue X didn't simply modify the shape of exploring Yue, but re-sculpted the lines and details and bid farewell to the sense of disobedience completely? . The slender slip-back line extends from the B-pillar to the rear of the car, and a large arc chrome decoration extends to the double-layer spoiler, which is probably the best way to combine cars and SUVs at this stage.

in addition to the most basic R-Line kit, the more unique air intake grille trim, the unique shape and lines of the B-pillar, the unique hollow double spoiler design and the unique 3 "X" IQ. light taillight shape are all exclusive to Tanyue X .. The exquisite exploration of Yue X has reactivated the Z generation's enthusiasm for coupe SUV. After the new car went on the market for a period of time, according to the user survey data of the water drop car, consumers focused on its driving pleasure, interior space and intelligent level. Based on the above concerns, the corresponding test was carried out for the water drop vehicle.

※ Intelligent interactive experience: "Nothing is success"

Compared with the interior of previous Volkswagen models, Tanyue X has a stronger sense of science and technology. Behind the steering wheel is a 1.3-inch LCD instrument panel. The entire center console is designed to tilt slightly to the driver's side. The central console is equipped with a 9.2-inch touch screen, which is clear in display and smooth in operation. It supports functions such as car networking, navigation, CarPlay/CarLife mobile phone interconnection, voice system, etc., and has built-in applications such as weather, Himalayan radio, cool music and illegal inquiry, which can be downloaded and updated in the app store. In addition, more vehicle functions are also integrated in this central control panel, which can directly adjust vehicle air conditioning and 1-color interior atmosphere lights.

there are two ways to wake up the voice system, one is to trigger the wake-up by the voice button on the steering wheel; The other is to wake up by saying the voice wake-up word "Hello, Volkswagen". Of course, if you don't like the default voice wake-up words, you can also customize the voice wake-up words in the voice operation settings.

Through the voice system, users can use voice commands to control vehicle navigation, play online music, turn on the radio, control vehicle air conditioning, etc. In addition to fixed voice commands, this voice system can also recognize some natural sentences, such as saying "I'm hungry" to find nearby food; Say that I am hot, you can turn on the air conditioner or turn down the air conditioner temperature.

online navigation can obtain real-time information about road conditions and city restrictions, and set route preferences. After the owner certification is completed, the navigation route planning will avoid the restricted area as much as possible, and when using navigation, the dashboard, central control panel and HUD will display corresponding navigation information. However, to be honest, these functions are not new, and the development speed of China brand is much faster in the aspect of intelligent car system.

※ Interactive experience of driving and control: driving interest is the power part of the egg of Exploration Yue X

, and the top match of Exploration Yue X evaluated by the author is equipped with the third generation EA888? 2.T high-power engine, with maximum power of 162kW and peak torque of 35N·m, matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox. It is worth mentioning that this car is also equipped with a four-wheel drive system and a DCC dynamic chassis control system.

from the author's actual driving experience, the output characteristic of this powertrain is direct feed. In the low speed range, the torque explodes faster. When the speed exceeds 18rpm, the intervention of turbocharger can be felt. Continue to step on the accelerator pedal deeply, you can feel that the overall power output is not procrastinating, and the continuous output ability is very strong. It's just that the frustration of 7-speed powershift at low speed is still difficult to completely eliminate, which has a slight impact on comfort.

Before McPherson and after McPherson, multi-link independent chassis suspension adjustment, filtering for fine bumps is in place, maintaining the consistent level of Volkswagen. But please don't forget that Tanyue X is an SUV after all, and you still need to control the speed when cornering. In addition, the DCC dynamic chassis system carried by Tanyue X provides five driving modes (standard, comfortable, sporty, economical and personalized). In sports mode, the power output of Tanyue X will become more active, and the feedback of throttle and braking will become more "neurotic". Of course, the author thinks that the simplest and most direct way to release power is to directly switch to S gear through the gear lever, so that the vehicle will maintain a high speed and provide more intense driving pleasure.

※ Safe interactive experience: the car of the same class is quite satisfactory

The active safety configuration of this Yueyue X is relatively complete. After all, the price is almost 3, yuan, and the adaptive cruise, active braking and lane keeping are all in one place. Coupled with the HUD head-up display and the blessing of full LCD instrument, at least the virtual cockpit atmosphere is created.

With a number of active safety configurations, Tanyue X can achieve L2 driver assistance. The operation is relatively simple, and it can be opened, closed and adjusted by the buttons on the left side of the steering wheel. The recognition rate of millimeter wave radar and front camera is very accurate, and there are five gears to adjust the following distance. The strength of the brake and throttle can be customized according to the driving mode, and the overall performance is relatively linear. Only in rare cases will there be sudden discomfort.

in terms of air quality, the performance of Tanyue X has completely met the national requirements, but the odor inside the car does exist. Its equipped air purification system and PM2.5 filter device can reduce odor and purify air quality to a certain extent.

※ Interactive experience in space: space is still the strength of the public

The length, width and height of Tanyue X are 4626mm, 186mm and 1662mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2,73 mm. The advantage of the wheelbase has brought it plenty of rear legroom. The head space is also abundant, which can meet various travel needs.

due to the blessing of the four-wheel drive system, the bulge in the center of the platform in the back row of Tanyue X is inevitable. Actually, although the platform in the middle position is relatively high, its width is limited, so you don't need to step on the protrusion when sitting in the middle position, and you won't form a posture of "sitting on the bench". In this way, the rear passengers will not feel tired when riding.

the electric rear tailgate supports inductive opening and has memory function, so it is convenient to take things from the trunk. Under normal conditions, the internal volume of the trunk is 525L, and the rear seats support the proportional tilting, which can further expand the trunk space.

it is worth mentioning that, due to the influence of styling, the rear window and skylight area of coupe SUV can't compare with that of traditional SUV, which enhances the sense of oppression of rear passengers. However, the skylight area of Tanyue X has reached .8㎡, and with the optimization of head space, this sense of oppression has been greatly weakened.

※ Comfortable interactive experience: there is still a lot of room for improvement in quietness

First of all, the high-power engine of Tanyue X is relatively quiet at idle speed, but the performance after the speed exceeds 8km/h is not like that of a 3,-yuan SUV. Secondly, the vehicle is equipped with Deng Lupu SP? SPORT? MAXX? 5+ tires have excellent handling performance, but it also means that tire noise will inevitably increase. Especially on the rough road surface, the tire noise is obviously bigger than that on the newly paved asphalt road surface, which seems to be a problem that has always existed in the Tanyue model, and Tanyue X has not been spared.

note: DH-11 gives a full score of 1. According to five different interactive experience dimensions, 2 points are reserved for each dimension. The interactive experience officer can add points according to the performance of products such as "the only one at the same level" or "taking the lead in carrying".
