Bitche Original Before starting this trip to Kunming, I can’t remember how many MPVs I have driven, such as Volkswagen Viran, Toyota Sienna, Roewe iMAX8, Honda Odyssey... So what I want to express is that for How an MPV or a 7-seater SUV should please users, I think there is still a certain amount of Right to speak - yes, in addition to the need for more seats, the comfort of second-row passengers will definitely be the top priority, and this will also be where major manufacturers begin to "involve" in the future, so when it comes to Before test driving the Angkeqi in Kunming, my mentality was: "Okay! Let's see what the Angkeqi 6-seater version will do this time"!
It’s only 4,000 yuan more expensive. Would you be willing to switch to a 6-seater?
This question is put on the new Angkeqi. In fact, the answer is very obvious. As a new model, the 2022 Angkeqi 652T four-wheel drive flagship 6-seater is 4,000 yuan more expensive than the 7-seater version. In addition to In addition to the replacement of the second row with two more distinguished independent seats, the overall configuration level and ride comfort have also been greatly improved. Consumers no longer need to pursue the Aivia version for 6 seats. Of course, the persuasiveness of empty words will always be limited. Below, we will take a look at how this "daddy" model can further improve itself.
The main reason why I think so is that the Angkeqi does not look a little bloated like its rivals in the same class. The design of the entire car is very slender, coupled with the chrome trim strips that can be seen everywhere, if I were As a family user, I like the appearance of Angkeqi better than Tuang or Highlander.
Although appearance design is a metaphysics, as long as the details are grasped, users can actually feel unique. As you can see, the flying-wing grille, L-shaped LED daytime running lights and split headlights As for the design, in my eyes Angkeqi is still a car that can be distinguished at a glance, with a high-end feel!
The Angkeqi still has a standard mid-to-large SUV body shape. The design of short front and rear overhangs makes the side look more coordinated, and the chrome trim strips that can be seen everywhere also enhance the visual appeal.
The configuration of Angkeqi is still very impressive. Except for the Avenir version, all other models are equipped with 20-inch wheels as standard. The actual model uses tires from Michelin Primacy.
Only from the perspective of appearance, if you complain about Highlander being plain and simple, are tired of Touron's moderation, and cannot accept the avant-garde styling of new forces, then Angke Qi will be a good choice, at least By bidding 300,000 yuan, you can get equal visual enjoyment.
Ankeqi is also very complete in terms of vehicle functions. The entire series uses an 8-inch central control screen, which supports CarPlay and CarLife, intelligent voice system, Amap, 4G network, in-car WIFI, OnStar system and OTA upgrades, etc. .
Quality and high configuration have always been the hallmarks of the Buick brand. For its flagship model, Angkeqi will naturally not be stingy. It can be seen that the entire vehicle lives up to the flagship model in terms of interior materials and configuration levels. In the name of the brand, if you are a home user and have requirements for configuration, have you already been tempted by Angkeqi after seeing this?
In terms of riding, the first thing I want to confirm is this set of seats from Angkeqi. The padding is very thick and full, and the leather material is also very skin-friendly. Although the head in the front row only has four fingers (I am 179cm tall) ), but the flaws are not concealed, and the seat comfort is basically not picky.
The Buick brand has always been relatively successful in the field of MPVs. The new 6-seater model launched by Angkeqi this time can be said to have learned a lot of experience from MPV models, such as placing the air-conditioning outlets above the roof, while two independent seats in the second row The seats are also foldable The central armrest is stacked, and an adjustable aviation headrest is added, which greatly improves the riding comfort. At the same time, the 6-seat version is 4,000 yuan more expensive than the 7-seat version, and the second row also has additional seat ventilation/massage and lumbar support. As well as functions such as the boss button, the price/performance ratio is very high.
For the power part, Angkeqi is still equipped with a familiar old partner - the 2.0T engine with Tripower variable valve management technology. This engine has been fully rolled out under General Motors. It can be said to be a star engine that can be used in four vehicles. cylinder high-performance mode, four-cylinder economy mode and two-cylinder ultra Smooth switching between economic modes enables dynamic performance of low-speed, high-torque, high-speed and high-power. Of course, judging from Angke Banner’s NEDC fuel consumption per 100 kilometers, the comprehensive fuel consumption of 7.5L/100km is actually not that eye-catching. However, what I care more about is the feeling of driving it.
In my opinion, the Angkeqi does not feel bulky at all when driven, and it does not even feel as "frivolous" as the LaCrosse. This is exactly the advantage of the C1 platform, which gives it a high-end feel. First of all, the Angkeqi's accelerator and brake pedals are very sensitive. Although the intervention of the 48V mild hybrid system will make the power more gentle, the Angkeqi still feels like a fully American model.
As long as you continue to refuel, the performance of this 237-horsepower engine in the middle and rear segments will not disappoint you. After switching to sports mode, the vehicle will enter the four-wheel drive state by default. At this time, the engine's potential is still will be released further.
Although the 9AT does not have much to praise in terms of gear shifting logic, the advantage of the more gear-free gear ratio is that it improves the natural process of power connection. As a car that is mainly used for home use, this 9AT In my opinion, there is actually no need to be too picky.
As an urban SUV, a 7-seater SUV that puts comfort first, I always believe that a four-wheel drive system is not strictly necessary, but Angke Banner’s four-wheel drive can help the rear wheels to move between the left and right wheels. The stepless distribution of 100:0-0:100 not only ensures that the vehicle is more calm when starting or during rapid acceleration, it can also theoretically increase the vehicle's controllability.
Both Angkeqi and Cadillac XT6 come from the C1 platform. Their chassis have a very high-end feel, and the suspension handles bumpy roads very simply. At the same time, the addition of five-links improves the lateral support and can handle corners when cornering. It ensures that the body is in a better posture, and at the same time, the entire chassis can also take into account comfort.
Editor's comment: In fact, there are many reasons for users to choose a medium and large SUV. In addition to the space performance mentioned in the article, reliability, power performance, luxury and even appearance are all influencing factors. However, from a personal point of view, Compared to MQB For Volkswagen Touron with Evo platform or Highlander with TNGA architecture, the comprehensive product strength of Angke Banner is more balanced, and the first two are more "scientific students", although the sales volume of the first two are higher. Even better, but in terms of product strength itself, Angkeqi’s overall configuration level is even better, and its C1 platform is also one of the best in luxury. At the same time, the 6-seater version launched this time will decentralize the configurations that were once exclusive to the Avenir version. Compared with the 7-seater flagship version, the new 6-seater flagship version is only 4,000 yuan more expensive, bringing "value-added" "Service" far exceeds this value, so regardless of market factors, Angkeqi's new 6-seater model will accurately fill the market gap.
