hello, everyone!
To say which RV attracts high attention this year, I think the Free Cannon series RV built by Lanzhong RV based on the special chassis of the Great Wall Artillery RV can definitely be regarded as "hot", according to the domestic motorhome sales. (The number of insurances) shows that in August 2021, the number of Liberty Cannon diesel/gasoline models has 56 insurances, ranking first among domestic pickup trucks. This shows that the popularity of this new car is high. With the increase in attention, many netizens also expressed their want to know how the actual driving experience of this car is. Before this, we have done a detailed test drive evaluation of the gasoline version and diesel version of the Freedom Cannon, and have also carried out a long-distance self-driving tour of thousands of kilometers. Today I will talk to you about the gasoline version of the Freedom Cannon and the gasoline version. What is the difference between the diesel version?
First, let’s talk about the driving experience of the gasoline version. The version with the lowest price. The power version is a 2.0T gasoline engine with a maximum power of 140kW and a maximum torque of 360N·m. It is matched with a ZF 8AT gearbox and TOD intelligence with BorgWarner Timely four-wheel drive system with low-speed four-wheel drive and mechanical differential lock on the rear axle. The front suspension is a double wishbone, and the rear suspension is a special multi-leaf spring for the touring car. These are the basic power data, which is the same as the high-powered model (351,800).
In terms of actual driving experience,I want to share from two aspects. The first is whether the power of the 2.0T gasoline engine is sufficient? The second point is how comfortable is it?
Let’s look at the first question first, is 2.0T gasoline power enough? Let me give you a conclusion first, 2.0T gasoline engine, 140kW, 360 Nm tow this car with a total mass of 3.45 tons is no problem, long-distance self-driving is definitely sufficient. When driving on daily city roads, the power of this 2.0T gasoline engine is relatively balanced. When starting at traffic lights, although it can't be regarded as brisk, it will not feel bulky. If you want to start quickly, increase the throttle opening and increase the speed. Above 2000 rpm, the torque of 360 Nm can also push the car forward, and it will not be too big to keep up with the pace of ordinary family cars;
br p13br _p5 span When is driving at high speed, the performance is also good. I basically control the cruising speed between 105-110. If I want to accelerate again, I can still have more confidence by increasing the speed.
Let’s talk about the performance of the gearbox. The performance of this ZF 8AT is more active when you are not aware of it. When the gear is up, there is almost no sense of frustration. Coupled with more gears, the engine speed can be controlled relatively low when cruising. When cruising 100 kilometers per hour, the speed is only about 1800 rpm. If you need to be anxious When accelerating, downshifting is relatively straightforward. When the accelerator is pushed down, it will quickly drop 2-3 gears continuously to increase the speed and increase the speed.
How about the comfort of this car?
The two words "comfortable" that left the deepest impression on me. The most intuitive feeling is that the NVH performance in the cab is very good. Because the car used in the test drive is powered by gasoline, it is quieter than the diesel-powered RVs that have been driven in the past, including the diesel free gun. , It’s much quieter, basically it can reach the performance of some 200,000 or so family cars, which is more comfortable during long-distance cruising; One point is that the weight of the chassis is relatively strong. Because this car uses a non-load-bearing body
, the whole chassis has a very good weight, which can filter the small bumps on the road more thoroughly. It has a good sense of luxury, and it has a hard-line off-road feel when driving. In addition, the double-wishbone suspension supports the body relatively well. When crossing some undulating roads, the suspension behaves more tenaciously, and the flicker is softer.
In general, the driving experience of the gasoline version of the free gun gave me a very good impression.Don't worry about the lack of power. Daily self-driving tours are completely fine. Even if you encounter some difficult steep slopes, you can turn on the low-speed four-wheel drive to increase the torque by more than 2 times.
Next, let’s talk about the driving experience of the diesel version of the free gun that everyone is more concerned about. First of all, the power parameters are better than the gasoline version. The 2.0T diesel engine has a maximum power of 120kW and a maximum torque of 400. The Numi does not seem to have much improvement in power than the gasoline version, but because the diesel engine pays attention to low-torque output characteristics, the diesel version will be more relaxed and calm at the starting stage, basically does not need too much throttle opening, and the starting speed is maintained at At 1,500 rpm, you can get a brisk start.
When driving at high speed, the diesel version also has sufficient power reserve. Test), you can still feel a good stamina. In addition, the diesel version of the power is more confident when it comes to some outdoor roads and climbing roads. Before, we also drove the diesel version of the free gun to walk through some mountain climbing roads and muddy roads, which can be easily dealt with.
Next, let’s talk about the comfort of the diesel version. The overall weight of the chassis and the support of the gasoline version are the same. However, the noise of diesel engines still exists, but fortunately, the overall sound insulation of the cockpit is well handled. The engine noise transmitted into the cockpit is relatively not so loud, but there is still a certain gap compared with the gasoline version of the free gun.
The little detail I like better is the SVC right side blind spot monitoring. Compared with those 360° surround shadows, the observable angle is lower. It is especially convenient when moving cars at low speeds or when passing narrow roads.
So, should I choose a gasoline version or a diesel version? I think this will vary from person to person. I like a comfortable and comfortable driving environment. I don’t have too much demand for power and fuel consumption. You can choose gasoline version power. There are certain requirements for power and fuel consumption, but the quietness is not demanding. , And friends in the city that support the licensing of diesel vehicles can choose the diesel version.
