[Understanding Car Emperor’s original product] Transformers has created the initial impression of countless people born in the 80s and 90s on car robots. However, after all, it is difficult for movies to reflect reality, and some science fiction can only stay on the big screen. above the curtain. However, the generation of car people who grew up with Transformers used their own way to build a car robot , that is Changan Auchan Z6. Recently, we also got a test drive of the Auchan Z6 to experience it. How good is the new car? Let’s find out.

Appearance: Exaggerated styling, off-car interaction is the highlight

As the flagship model of Changan Auchan , Z6 has stronger technological attributes. The innovative attempt of out-of-car voice interaction enriches the communication scenarios between people and machines, and also It shortens the distance between people and machines and enhances the technological experience. In the current overly homogeneous SUV market, it has indeed helped the new car win some attention.

Although the off-car voice function is rich, in the use scenario, it is more of a gimmick than the reality.

In terms of design, Z6 still continues the previous family-style design genes, with exaggerated and sharp lines intertwined with each other, and the body shape is more changeable. , radical styling, consistent with the current young group pursuing individuality.

The borderless center grid is a popular design element at the moment, and the internal hourglass-shaped design also brings high recognition.

In terms of configuration, the new car is equipped with 12 ultrasonic radars, 3 millimeter wave radars and 4 cameras

Front camera The light group has sharp lines and is very harmonious with the center grille.

The headlight group is composed of upper and lower parts. The upper LED daytime running lights have a long and narrow shape and are connected to each other through chrome trim strips, which extends the visual width of the front face. . The lower headlight set is connected to the black decorative panel, which enhances the overall look of the front face and makes it highly recognizable.

The length, width and height of the new car are 4699/1890/1680 mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2795 mm

0.878. The height-to-width ratio makes the new car look more low-lying.

The side shape of the body also continues the angular design idea. The characterization of the waist line is very obvious. The slender front and a large-size rim make the visual experience very full. The waistline adopts a segmented design. After the C-pillar, it is integrated with the curved surface shape to create a strong three-dimensional effect. A concave design is also used under the door panel to make the upper part of the body appear more compact, thereby showing off the muscular look of the new car.

The rear is equipped with a total of four exhaust outlets on both sides and a folded taillight group

The tail design still focuses on creating a sense of sportiness. The taillight group is very narrow and long through a flat design, and the two internal inverted "L" shaped light sources are also very Eye-catching, the new car also adopts a bilateral exhaust layout with four exhaust outlets, which further enhances the sporty atmosphere of the new car.

Interior: Three screens with rich interactive functions

Compared with the exaggerated exterior design, the interior can more easily reflect the sense of refinement and technological atmosphere. Auchan Z6 uses three large screens to highlight its technological positioning. At the same time, a large number of physical buttons are reduced in the car, and the design of some function buttons is also unique. However, for those who are new to this car, it will inevitably take a period of learning.

Too many functions are concentrated in the central control screen. Although the visual effect is very simple, it is not conducive to operation while driving.

Face recognition entry is novel, but it overlaps with the function of the Bluetooth mobile phone key, and is not practical in actual use. It may not be more practical than the latter.

Before opening the door, Auchan Z6 has a small function. There is a camera on the B-pillar. By recording your face in the car in advance, you can enter the car through face recognition without a key. Then you can scan your face with the camera in the car and start the ignition. It is considered "free". Key Entry" and "Keyless Start".

The three large screens basically cover all the functions in the car.

When you enter the car, the first thing you should see is the three large screens, which are a 10.3-inch full LCD instrument, a 12.3-inch floating central control screen and a 9.2-inch large screen. The wisdom of little Ouping.Among them, the 9.2-inch screen is called the "Xiao Ou screen", which is mainly used to display the vehicle virtual human "Xiao Ou".

The reversing image is clear and there is no obvious change.

The fitness game brings some highlights to the car.

9. The 2-inch small European screen also supports eye wake-up. Just stare at the small European screen and it will give you a please speak gesture

9 The .2-inch Huixiaoou screen can realize music, compass and navigation functions. At the same time, if you smoke in the car, the smart voice assistant will automatically recognize and and open the car window. This feature is indeed very rare among models of the same level.

The voice outside the car is one of Auchan Z6's show-off techniques. Although its actual usefulness has yet to be tested, it can indeed win a lot of attention for car owners.

There is also a refueling button on the left side of the steering wheel. After long pressing, it will automatically navigate to a nearby gas station. , after arriving at the gas station, press the button again, and a voice will be heard outside the car "I am the car robot Z6, please add 92 gasoline." Although it has no practical effect, it can really show off.

First row seating space

Second row seating space

In terms of seating space, the height of the front row occupants is 178 cm. After the front row is adjusted to a suitable driving posture, there is about 1 punch left on the head. While ensuring that the driver in the front seat remains unchanged, there are still 2 punches left for the legs in the second row. The headroom is affected by the body shape, and there is still plenty of room for 2 fingers.

Power part: Multiple mode switching, excellent chassis texture

At present, Auchan Z6 has three powertrain options: Blue Whale iDD hybrid system, 2.0-liter turbocharged engine and 1.5-liter turbocharged engine. The model tested for the first time was the most popular 1.5-liter turbocharged engine model. In terms of parameters, the maximum power of this 1.5-liter turbocharged engine is 138 kilowatts, and the maximum torque of is 300 Nm. In terms of transmission system, it is matched with a wet 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox.

1.5-liter turbocharged engine does not give people the feeling of insufficient power reserve, but its re-acceleration ability in high-speed conditions is indeed a bit Buddhist

Changan This set of Blue Whale power has been in the market for many years, and various parameters I believe that friends who are familiar with Chang'an also understand it very well. Naturally, this system does not cause any "crotch pulling" in the Auchan Z6. There are obvious differences in power output and performance in different driving modes. Overall, it is satisfactory.

There are 5 driving modes available through the left lever.

The driving mode can be quickly adjusted through the shift paddles on the left side of the steering wheel. There are 5 driving modes available: smart, comfort, sport, economy and track. The smart mode vehicle will automatically switch to other modes according to driving needs, eliminating the need to manually switch driving modes under different working conditions.

Comfort and economy modes are more suitable for users who do not have much demand for power

In comfort and economy modes, Auchan Z6 will appear relatively lazy, the accelerator pedal feedback is not positive, and the initial feedback is not obvious, and the engine speed will remain at idling speed. Below 1000 rpm. After pressing the accelerator pedal deeply, the power will burst out after waiting for about 1 second, which is a more Buddhist style.

In sports mode, the overall performance is more lively, and the power response is positive. In

sports mode, the engine's basic speed will increase to around 1,200 rpm, and the power response will also be significantly improved. The accelerator pedal will become more sensitive, and it will even feel a bit fierce in the early stages. The rapid increase in low-speed torque release will give people a more direct acceleration experience, but after reaching medium and high speeds, the acceleration ability becomes a bit flat.

The track mode is one of the highlights of the new car. Along with the roar of simulated sound waves and the switching of three-screen pages, it will constantly stimulate the driver's nerves. At the same time, the large central control screen will also display values ​​such as turbine pressure, throttle opening, steering wheel angle, altitude and slope in real time, but in terms of power output, it is actually no different from the sports mode.

The safe overtaking mode is relatively rare, and it is relatively friendly to novices.

In track mode, after the vehicle speed exceeds 60 kilometers/hour, you can also enter the safe overtaking mode through the left shift paddle, which can automatically turn on the right side. Turn signals, whistle and other operations before overtaking.

The presence of the 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox is not strong, and there is almost no sense of frustration. The shifting logic of the

dual-clutch gearbox is still more comfortable. In daily driving, there is almost no sense of frustration, and the upshift speed is slow. It is relatively fast and helps to reduce fuel consumption. In sport mode, the gearbox can also quickly perform shifting actions.

The steering feel can be adjusted in three modes. In the steady mode, the steering force is relatively moderate, which is also very friendly to women. There will be some gaps in the early stages of steering, and the directionality is not accurate, but the advantage is that it is easy to drive, and it is still qualified as an urban SUV.

In terms of sound insulation and noise reduction, more noise comes from the engine compartment, while road noise and wind noise are controlled within a relatively reasonable range.

As for the chassis, the new car uses front MacPherson independent suspension and rear multi-link independent suspension. combination. Judging from the driving experience on actual roads, this chassis has a relatively strong overall feel, handles small bumps more thoroughly, and there is no unnecessary movement of the body when passing some large speed bumps.

is written at the end:

The technological attributes are considered the core selling point of Auchan Z6, and judging from its price of 99,900-129,900 yuan, its cost-effective advantage is obvious. If there is more demand for power, the 2.0-displacement models and hybrid versions priced at 155,800-175,800 yuan that will be launched in the future may be more worthy of selection. As a family SUV with a youthful technology style, it will compete with domestic mainstream compact SUVs such as Haval H6 (98,900-157,000 yuan), Geely Boyue (91,800-142,800 yuan) and other models. We will wait and see how many orders the car can win.
