SUV is a very popular model in China and even the world in recent years. It has been loved by car fans for its wide range of uses. Market demand stimulates the investment of enterprises, and the intensification of competition has made enterprises show their magical powers. The waves of upgrades and improvements have made this car series continue to appear new models that attract the attention of car fans. For example, our road test of Saikelong RX401...
The curtain of
There are three drivers participating in the road test, Li Jiaxiang born in the 1970s, Zhang Jingjing born in the 1990s, and Shen Lianyi born in the 2000s. Among them, Li and Zhang are senior motorcycle travel enthusiasts. Shen Lianyi, born in 2002, is an off-road motorcycle athlete who is emerging on the track. His father Shen Shupeng is the annual championship of the domestic group of the 1996 National Off-Road Championship. The tiger father naturally has no dog son.
conducted a training preheating before starting the official road test. We convened all members of the test team and some fans, and spent most of the day leaving the city to travel west, crossing the Xuzhou urban section, Tongshan section, Fengxian section, and Anhui Dangshan section, and going deep into the surrounding areas to run various road conditions. During the walking process of more than 300 kilometers, several people held several brief on-site car review meetings for all aspects of this car.
First of all, the shape. Few models can win unanimous recognition from drivers of different ages at the same time, and this RX401 is part of this "very few". Our RX401 with the main color of "Desert Yellow" impressed everyone in the test team in terms of color matching. With the spokes and wheels with vacuum rim structure, the staggered body and neat front, the whole vehicle is filled with a wild smell of traveling style, and it has a strong masculine atmosphere. Our 19-year-old off-road boy said: I like it very much!
In terms of configuration, this RX401 is the flagship version (and the Zhizun version). The difference between the two versions is (Zhizun version) large-screen TFT instrument, original tire pressure monitoring, and OBD mobile phone interconnection. The low-end version does not have the above configuration, and the instrument is also an ordinary LCD color screen. Of course, the price difference between the two is 2,000 yuan (the Supreme Edition is priced at 31,980 yuan).
Apart from the above differences, the two versions of RX401 are no different. The engine is upgraded from the old TC380, with a displacement of 401mL and a water-cooled 8-valve engine equipped with Delphi electronic injection system has also been improved - the maximum power reaches 33KW, the maximum torque of 37Nm, and the acceleration time of 0-100km/h is about 5 seconds. The power platform of the Saikelong RX series has long been tested by users in terms of reliability, so there is no need to say more here.
Full LED light source is the standard for RX401, and there is also a suspension system with rebound damping adjustable front and rear. Among them, the front inverted suspension with a diameter of 41mm is adjusted at 21 levels, and the rear central independent suspension connected by multi-link is adjusted at 15 levels, which can theoretically meet the requirements for suspension performance in all driving conditions such as non-paved leisure and long-distance motorcycle brigades. In terms of safety configuration, the 310mm diameter dual front floating disc is equipped with a radial-mounted four-piston caliper, a 260mm diameter single rear disc is equipped with a single-piston caliper, and a closed Saif dual-channel ABS system, which takes into account both safety and entertainment.
For more than half a day, each rider rode dozens of kilometers and had a preliminary understanding of this RX401. The old Marxists contracted the paving pavement . They reported that this car with a curb weight of more than 200 kilograms will become flexible and easy to control as long as it moves. In addition, the driving posture is standard and the power is abundant, and the riding experience is great. They also unanimously praised the 12V cigarette lighter interface and USB interface set on the left and right side of the instrument - long-distance travel is too convenient. The fuel consumption of 100 kilometers was not measured on that day, but the fuel tank capacity of the car exceeds 20L was enough to ensure considerable endurance.
The youngest post-00s off-road vehicle hand Shen Lianyi contracted the driving experience of non-paved roads. His initial feeling is: Compared with the lightweight and slim field competitive off-road vehicle, this RX401 looks a bit big, but it is not stupid at all when riding. It has good ability to pass, and the all-terrain tires have enough grip on hard non-paved ground. He is looking forward to the subsequent long-distance test...
Run, RX401...
6-day long-distance test, the first day is the experience of Motorcycle.In order to test the load bearing limit of the RX401, we asked Zhang Jingjing, who is over 1.9 meters tall and weighs over 100 kilograms to be responsible for this link. The driving route includes about 20 kilometers of urban roads, more than 500 kilometers of expressways, and more than 30 kilometers of mountain roads, paving the road throughout the journey. When we set off, we went on the highway. Our logistics car took the elevated road around the city, which was strictly prohibited from entering, and went directly to the highway entrance. Zhang Jingjing crossed the city area to another highway entrance, and agreed to meet in the first service area more than 30 kilometers after entering the highway to record the driving experience at this stage.
About two hours later, we met for the first time in the service area. This section of the road is a process in which Zhang Jingjing and this car deepen their impression. The temper of a car is really not something that can be understood within a few dozen kilometers. Its overall performance, its personality characteristics, its advantages and disadvantages hidden in the details, and its tolerance for drivers, especially its reliable performance, all require a long time to feel it calmly. The basis of feeling is the driver's accumulated experience.
Zhang Jingjing, who is a fitness coach, has the figure of an polar bear . The RX401, whose original image was also considered strong, was slim in front of him. "The biggest inconvenience I ride this bike is that the seats are a little shorter!" Zhang Jingjing said: "It's stuck with my butt, and it's difficult to move longitudinally. But this is all my fault. Riders who are about 1.8 meters tall and weigh less than 80 kilograms will not be like this." In addition to the fact that the ride is a bit "stopped", this RX401 makes Zhang Jingjing feel "very good". He said that the acceleration of the parallel twin cylinders is very "linear", with speeds below 120km/h, and the connection between each speed range is smooth. The low-tightening response to urban road conditions is easy to deal with. After getting on the highway, the acceleration after 5000r/min is smooth. As long as you don’t deliberately feel the vibration, the fleeting resonance area after 5000r/min cannot affect your mood of driving at all...
When refueling in this service area, we calculated the fuel consumption from the "car evaluation meeting" to here, and obtained a comprehensive fuel consumption of about 4.6L per 100 kilometers. Looking back on the intense tossing along the way, coupled with the ravages of the big guy Zhang Jingjing, I feel that the fuel consumption standard of is still acceptable. If it is a normal daily cycling or motorcycle hiking after the running-in period, the fuel consumption should still decrease.
Starting from this service area, our travel plan is to enter the service area every 200 kilometers to make a small summary on the way. After leaving the service area for the second time, I quickly entered the rainy area. First, it was heavy rain and heavy rain of more than 60 kilometers, and then it was light rain and moderate rain after getting off the expressway... After arriving at the destination at night, Zhang Jingjing said that the rain was really satisfying! Zhang Jingjing expressed satisfaction with the performance of the RX401 in the rain: "When the rain is at a speed of about 100km/h, the tires are at a speed of about 100km/h, the car is not bad for grip, the car is very stable when passing through the watery road. Another time, the emergency braking of ABS was triggered, and the braking is no problem!" Zhang Jingjing said that the winding trail in the rain for dozens of miles after entering the mountain was very enjoyable. The car was very good to control. After running one day, I didn't feel tired for the past 600 kilometers. Except for being too tall, I didn't have much effect on the windshield.
"A very capable car!" said Zhang Jingjing, a scoundrel of the motorcycle traveler, saying: "There is no mention of power, control, and braking. For middle-sized drivers, the comfort is also very high. It is very useful to run a motorcycle traveler!"
