In fact, in terms of appearance, the PLUS has not evolved much, but the evolution is definitely to make this MPV more refined and domineering. The design language of Zhiju Bafang continues on G20 PLUS, and it is still so domineering.
It seems that everyone's aesthetic has been "learned" from Lexus LM, and whether it is decoration or lights on both sides, it has become the mainstream design of domineering MPV. The evolved G20 PLUS also adopts a similar design. The chrome trim surrounds the front lip from both sides all the way down. It must be said that it is indeed domineering and fierce enough. The headlights of
FULL LED TECH technology, the chrome-plated air intake grille of Zhiju Bafang and the chrome-plated decorative strip of the front lip blend perfectly without any abruptness. The lowered hood and raised eyebrows added a forward gaze to the already fierce front of the car. The overall style of the
G20 PLUS body maintains the dignity and weight of the G20. The body size is 5198×1980×1928mm in length, width and height, and the wheelbase is 3198mm. In the body size, G20 PLUS and G20 remain the same. The overall body shape of
G20 is simple and clear, without too many complicated lines, stable yet vigorous. In my opinion, the business atmosphere of the G20 is not strong. The suspended roof is more dynamic, and the privacy glass in the rear makes the occupants more secure.
From some perspectives, the G20 PLUS is more of the VIP style of the Japanese JDM, continuing the chrome trim on the front lip of the car, and there is also a chrome trim on the rear. The taillights all have the SAIC MAXUS family design. The vertical tailgate, the short tail wing, and the aerodynamic kit on the rear bumper echo the front of the car.
In order to improve the comfort and quietness of driving, tire noise is an important factor. The G20 PLUS is equipped with Continental Cross Contact tires of size 225/55 R18. This tire focuses on quietness and comfort during driving, as well as safe braking performance. The interior design and materials of
G20 PLUS are still the same as G20. The materials used are soft slush-molded materials and leather wrapping, with superior materials and assembly technology. The overall design is very dignified and the functional areas are clearly divided, which is in line with the aesthetics of business reception and home use.
The leather-wrapped multifunctional steering wheel feels thick and heavy to hold, with rich functions, including multimedia control, driving computer control, adaptive cruise control, and human-computer interaction systems. While equipped with SPORT mode, it is still equipped with paddle shifters.
12.3-inch central control screen is equipped with the SAIC Ali Zebra Zhixing system jointly developed by SAIC and Ali. For this system, we are already very familiar with it. SAIC Maxus MAXUS is equipped on many models, so I won't introduce it. On the basis of the original G20, the G20 PLUS is equipped with 360 panoramic images, supports 2D and 3D viewing angles, and improves safety.
is still the floating console, and most of the top-fitting models we tested are focused on driving functions here. Lane keeping, parking assist, automatic start-stop, electronic handbrake, automatic parking, automatic parking and other functions are available. The focus is on
. For MPV models, the ride feel is more important. The G20 PLUS uses a 2-2-3 seat layout, and the key second-row model uses 4D seats. The leather of the seat is delicate and equipped with ventilation, heating and massage functions. The seat in the picture below has been adjusted to the front and has plenty of legroom.
The backrest of the second row of seats can be folded down, and the long enough calf support is very suitable, which makes the second row of passengers comfortable for a nap. And these functions are all electronically controlled, in order to avoid operational troubles, there is a button to restore the seat state with one button. In the outer armrest of
, various function keys of the seat are hidden in it. But as long as you can think of all the seat functions, lumbar support, seat massage, heating, ventilation, two sets of memory, how?kind? These configurations are rich enough, enough for the second-row occupants to enjoy the VIP courtesy.
In addition to the enjoyment on the seat, let's take a look at other configurations related to the second row. The 1.2㎡ skylight is equipped with sunshade, and the front part of the skylight can be opened, creating a wide and comfortable sense of space.
In addition to the partitioned air conditioner on the first row, the second row still has its own air conditioner. And the air conditioner can still choose the wind direction, which is not provided by many MPV models. It is a great experience whether you are sitting in a leader or a family. Furthermore, whether it is a family ride or a business reception, power supply is a very important thing. For this reason, the second row is equipped with 12V power supply, USB power supply and 220V socket, which greatly facilitates travel needs.
In addition to these comfortable hardware configurations for the rear row, there are four preset scene modes for the second row occupants, whether it is driving or stationary, whether it is a business reception or a family trip, it is very comfortable. Nap mode: adjust sunroof, volume, lighting, air conditioning, seat; cool mode: close sunroof, lower temperature, open seat ventilation; warm scene: close sunroof, increase temperature, turn on seat heating; comfortable scene: open sunroof , Air conditioner cut to outer circulation.
is here, the second row of G20 PLUS finally has an audio-visual entertainment system! This is advanced enough and PLUS enough! A 12.8-inch LCD screen is loaded with the Spider Zhilian-Web-in-web system based on Android. This system supports voice, mobile phone and touch screen control. Since
can be remotely controlled via a mobile phone, it can be connected by loading the Netzhongwang APP on the mobile phone. This process needs to be connected to the car hotspot, which can remotely control the front multimedia, rear sunroof, air conditioning, and video functions.
Whether you are traveling for office or taking family trips, you will definitely have leisure time, and you will live up to your leisure time. This network system integrates a byte-beating car-linked system, and you can watch the applications under byte-beating. Audio, volcano video, watermelon video. The mobile phone control has been mentioned before, then the Netzhongwang APP can be remotely controlled on the mobile phone.
In addition to online video and news, there are also TV owners who can watch TV station videos online through traffic. Similarly, the choice of watching TV stations can still be remotely controlled through mobile phones, without the occupants getting up to touch the screen.
If watching TV can’t satisfy you, watching Douyin and Volcano videos can’t satisfy you either. Then turn on the mirroring function of your phone, you can project your phone to the screen, whether it is watching TV movies, sharing PDF or watching a form, it can fully meet the daily needs. One of the important functions of
is the function of online meeting. Due to the limitation of the function received at present, the meeting schedule in the mobile phone can be reminded, and the meeting can be carried out through the network function. Through communication with the manufacturer’s technical personnel, it was learned that the conference software such as Tencent Conference will be opened in the future.
G20 PLUS is equipped with gasoline and diesel engines. The diesel engine uses SAIC π 2.0T engine with a maximum power of 120kW and a maximum torque of 375N·m. The gasoline engine model we tested is equipped with a 2.0T engine of 165kW/5300rpm and a maximum torque of 350N· m/2500-3500rpm.
on the gearbox, whether it is matched with a gasoline engine or a diesel engine, is an 8AT gearbox from ZF. Looking at the MPV models currently on the market, G20 PLUS is the first MPV equipped with an 8AT gearbox.
On the chassis suspension, the G20 PLUS adopts a load-bearing body structure, and uses a front McPherson independent suspension and a rear multi-link independent suspension in the suspension configuration. In terms of drive form, a front-rear drive is adopted.
's PLUS on the outside makes the G20 PLUS look more aggressive and domineering. Inside, the PLUS for the second-row occupants is very practical for both business and home use. So, let’s get on the road to see if G20 PLUS has made progress.化. Before, I had tested driving the G20, and I also drove the G20 with my family. I thought that G20 PLUS would not improve driving, but I didn't expect G20 PLUS to be PLUS in driving experience.
stepped on the throttle from the start, steady the throttle until the middle and high speed driving, the power output of this 2.0T engine is moderate. Although in terms of parameters, if it is put on a car, it is absolutely spray-out, which is definitely a steel cannon-level power, but as an MPV, smooth driving is the most needed. To cope with daily driving, whether it is to take the family or lead the exit door, the power is sufficient.
ZF’s 8AT gearbox exhibits the fineness of “moisturizing and silent” every time it shifts. If you don’t observe the tachometer, you will not feel the shifting action at all. The gearbox always controls the shift speed at around 1800rpm and actively increases gears. When the speed rises, the gearbox controls the engine speed at around 1600rpm to ensure the economy of driving.
When driving on the highway and needs to accelerate to overtake, the gearbox responds slightly hesitantly after pressing down the accelerator. After downshifting, the speed is pulled to the turbo positive pressure working speed. At this time, the 350N torque is quickly released, completing the acceleration and overtaking action cleanly. Thanks to the smoothness of the gearbox, no matter whether it is down to one or two gears, there is still no setback, but the speed increases.
is such a large MPV model, if the pursuit of excellent driving control is indeed not a rigid indicator of G20 PLUS. During driving, the road feel of the steering wheel is not bad, and the openness is minimal, which makes the driver very easy to drive.
I could vaguely feel some fine bumps on the road when driving the G20. After upgrading to the G20 PLUS, the comfort of the suspension has evolved. The fine turbulence has been resolved to the point that in the face of larger ups and downs, the linear settings of the suspension's compression and extension make the car occupants feel like waves. After a large bump, the suspension is very clean and the aftermath is very well suppressed. Z2z
has been able to feel that the G20 PLUS is more comfortable to ride than the G20 in the adjustment of suspension and shock absorbers. There is also a better sound insulation than G20, whether it comes from the engine, the chassis, or the tire noise and wind noise suppression from the outside of the car is significantly better than the G20.
is written at the end: This upgrade of G20 PLUS can be seen and felt by consumers from the outside to the inside. The PLUS on the exterior makes the vehicle look more domineering, and the PLUS on the internal configuration makes the occupants. To get more enjoyment, the PLUS on the chassis suspension makes driving more comfortable. However, it is still somewhat unsatisfactory. When the large 12.8-inch screen in the rear row is turned on, it will seriously affect the driver's observation of the inner rearview mirror; and the multimedia in the front and rear rows will interfere with each other. If these two problems can be solved That would be better.
