If you want to say that the biggest difference between the local market to which the brand belongs and the domestic market, it should be Chevrolet . Because of the existence of models such as Camaro, Currod, and Saboban, Chevrolet still has some high-end flavor in the United States. But after coming to the Chinese market, Chevrolet's impact on the domestic market in a state of price for volume, but it still suffered from overall brand decline year by year. It was also dragged down by the brand. Some models in the Chevrolet array that meet the needs of the family market were buried, including the Equinox Explorer we are going to see here.
, which is placed in the mid-size SUV market, is not a standard mid-size car. Its size standard is actually closer to compact SUVs, but beyond the measurement of 4646x1843x1684mm (the height of some models is 1688/1695mm), its wheelbase of 2725mm was indeed beyond the standard in the early years.
design is actually Chevrolet's strength, but it feels uneven in the beginning and end when it comes to the Explorer. On the front of the car, we can see pairs of metal decorative strips accompanied by the new logo of the black bow tie, and the RS-mounted version has added a contrasting color of the center grille with red marks and black background. The black sporty decoration will be embedded in the flow guide hole to form a coherent surrounding with the lower air hole. In addition, we also saw a more classic American car design on the C-pillar. The independent body structure will slightly separate the passenger compartment from the trunk, which will visually make the vehicle appear larger.
However, at the rear of the vehicle, although we saw a four-out exhaust pipe on both sides that were decorated with the 550T power nameplate and RS sports, it actually uses a one-sided exhaust. In addition to this part, both its Y-shaped taillights and the multi-layer surrounds on the bumper are visually a little conservative.
If the appearance is average, then the interior of the Explorer may receive polarized evaluations. In terms of layout, the entire 8.0-inch panel touch screen and the integrated console below will be praised for practicality, but the style is indeed a bit outdated. Although there are also Gaode Map , 4G network and smart voice, you can only obtain a 10.0-inch touch screen through optional equipment and the lack of full LCD instrumentation options will make it difficult to capture the hearts of young people.
can be viewed from another perspective. The full leather seats, leather steering wheel and optional Alcantarahml2 suede covered from the second low configuration are quite excellent in terms of touch, and the red embellishment decoration will be presented through seat stitching, handle decoration, etc., which will become a supplement to the interior. In terms of auxiliary configuration, the lack of reversing images is a lack of a missing image, and it can even be obtained on the mid-equipped models, while the cruise control will be added from the second-lower configuration. However, the RS version will take into account functions such as blind spot warning on the side of the vehicle, adaptive cruise control, automatic parking assistance, etc., as well as steep slope descent and off-road driving modes to optimize driving through driving. In other configurations, the Explorer also has heating/ventilation of the front electric seats, on-board ambient lights, BOSE audio, etc., while the streaming rearview mirror and wireless charging pad still require an additional fee.
mechanical hardware, Explorer provides two nameplates: 535T and 550T light mixing. The former can obtain a maximum power of 124kW (169Ps) and a maximum torque of 250N·m of through the 1.5T engine + 6AT gearbox combination. The NEDC comprehensive fuel consumption is 6.8L/100km; while the 550T will obtain a combination of 2.0T + 48V mild mixing + 9AT. The top-end and second-top models also have an intelligent timely four-wheel drive system. With a maximum power of 174kW (237Ps) and a maximum torque of 350N·m, it can exceed 100 in 8.1 seconds and maintain a comprehensive WLTC fuel consumption of 7.39L/100km.
The chassis of the Explorer is not surprising. The front McPherson + rear multi-link independent suspension combination has good passability, and the hardness support is worthy of praise, but it is hard to say how strong the driving pleasure is for a larger steering radius.
was written at the end
Chevrolet Explorer caused quite a stir when it first entered the domestic market. Although its size and specifications were limited, it was a joint venture car that was put into the mid-sized SUV market. It is indeed worthwhile for those who mainly pursue family commuting. What's more, although the Explorer is not advanced in configuration functions, it has the same advantages as the sports vision, sense of space and basic power. The threshold of 169,900 yuan and a large terminal discount seems to be worth considering.
