During the test drive, Zhong Hongfei from Guangzhou Transportation Radio 106.1 called me and said that an audience member wanted to buy a 7-seat SUV model within the price range of 300,000 yuan, but the audience was not interested in Japanese models and was having a headache about this matter and asked me if I had any good suggestions. Ha, it's so coincidental, I rushed out, why not consider this Dodge Cool Viagra with a pure American style? It will give you a big surprise.

yes, this model really gave me a big surprise to Brother Mao. The Dodge car brand has been in China for a while, but it has been in a state of silent cultivation, at least that's what I think. There must be many people who know it, but to accurately tell how many models Dodge has launched in China, it is really a question-and-answer question. Taking advantage of this test drive, I seriously experienced this American-style 7-seater SUV.

First of all, this is a model positioned as a mid-sized SUV. There is still a lot of gaps compared to large SUVs in the United States, but compared with most domestic SUVs, Dodge Coolway still has to go a long way. The 4910mm body length is not covered, and the entire body does not have many amazing design elements, but it is precisely this thick line of opening and closing that tells without reservation that this is a pure American style model.

2016 model Coolwei's external shape has not changed fundamentally, and the official changes in appearance and color matching are the biggest highlight of the new model. The blackened headlights and air intake grille make the front face of Coowei look more vigorous, in line with the American model's sharp feeling. By the way, there is also the five-spoke snowflake-shaped 17-inch wheels that I really like. The slight blackening effect is also very good, but if the wheels are larger in size and are equipped with exaggerated chrome plating, I think this will be more in line with the temperament of the domineering American SUV. Prospective car owners who like can make moderate modifications in this direction, and the return rate is definitely amazing.

Although Dodge's overall sales in China are not very huge, this does not prevent Dodge from giving people a very real buying experience. The day before the test drive, I visited Dodge's 4S store in Panyu, Guangzhou, and of course it was in the form of an undercover investigation. Sales GG is constantly introducing all the features of this car, and it is particularly emphasized that the luggage rack crossbar is also standard, which is somewhat beyond my expectations. Such a crossbar is not too expensive, but among the SUVs on sale in China, I dare say that not many models have a luggage rack crossbar standard, which is a small surprise to me.

Walk into the car, and it still gives you a big feeling of opening and closing. That very warm atmosphere in the car is not the style of an American model. The large-area panel, huge buttons, and 8.4-inch display all give you a rough feeling, but after you look carefully, you will find that the rough interior style is also carefully crafted on this Coolwei, which has a bit subverted the inherent impression of Brother Mao. However, compared with most luxury cars, Coolwei still has a lot of room to improve.

mddle Zhong Hongfei also asked me specifically what I like about Coolwei.

Right, under the second row of floors, after opening the lid, two storage compartments with very considerable volumes also appeared in front of Brother Mao in surprise. This design is a bit like children like to have their own private world, a top-secret, private toy collection, Dodge Coolwei's design reappears this childhood feeling. This spatial layout is brought about by the "theater-style step-stair seat layout".

Here I will introduce: 256 seat changes and theater-style stepped seat layout. In addition to the driver's seat, the other 6 seats can be completely folded down, which can maximize the loading space in the car. In fact, this is also a highlight of Coolwei's external publicity: from a car to a "bed", it only takes a few simple steps. Of course, if you really want to turn Coolwei into a "bed", you also need two pillows and a quilt. Brother Mao tried it. Although it was a little narrower, it looked more warm. If a panoramic sunroof could be added, then Dodge Coolwei would definitely have an additional reason for me to highly recommend it.

In addition to the function of transforming into a "bed", the designer of Dodge Coolway has obviously learned about the use of automobile space in Japan. There are several places in Coolway's use of space that make me amazed. Don’t simply think that the passenger seat is an ordinary seat. Just gently pull up the seat cushion and a hidden storage compartment suddenly appears in front of you. In the past, when you went out to exercise or were inconvenient to carry your own items, your choice was to put it in the rear trunk, or find something in the car to cover valuable items, but the design of Coolwei can instantly solve these embarrassing problems.

After saying that, I am the most surprised part, and I will introduce the dynamic performance of Coolwei. There is no change in the powertrain of the 2016 Dodge Coowei. The ones sold in China include a 2.0T diesel engine, a 2.4L naturally aspirated engine, and a 3.6L naturally aspirated engine. The three engines are equipped with a pair of 6-speed manual transmissions.

In terms of powertrain selection, the 2.4L naturally aspirated engine is the most popular model and is also the key model for this test drive. The manufacturer also understands this and has arranged a total of 10 Kuwei units for media test drives, of which 8 are 2.4L gasoline version models.

On the urban road before entering the highway, it gives people a very calm feeling. Even after passing through the speed bump, the suspension's shock filtering effect is very good. This is thanks to the adjustment style of American models. Whenever passing through potholes, Kuwei can iron the road surface smoothly like an iron, and ride comfort is very good. After seeing the stout rear suspension, I understood why Coowei performed well in terms of comfort.

is on the highway, while Dodge Coolwei's performance is more focused on comfort, with an acceleration time of more than 11 seconds for 100 kilometers, which illustrates this very well. When the speed is 80km/h, press the accelerator deeply, Coolwei's re-acceleration ability is average, the speed is slowly increasing, and the transmission's response is relatively lazy, which will not give you a very radical feeling of power. The speed is climbing in an orderly manner, without the sprint feeling of instant bursting speed. If you are used to the on-call speed of the turbocharged models, Coolwei will not leave you too deep.

Change the driving mode and adjust it to manual mode. Coolwei's performance is a little better. The speed is about 500 rpm higher than the normal mode. The flexibility of the car body has also been slightly improved. However, to drag Coolwei's 1.8 tons body, the power burst out from this 2.4L engine is still the critical line that is just enough. If you really want to squeeze its power data, I believe that the driver will drive it hard and the passengers will feel very uncomfortable. This is really not the driving experience that Coolwei hopes to bring to family users.

So what Kuwei brings us is a comfortable and a very stable driving experience.The unique overhead air outlet in the rear row provides temperature, air volume, and wind direction adjustment, the rear row has a privacy glass, and the rear row can adjust the backrest at a large angle. By the way, the second row also provides an independent 9-inch independent LCD display, allowing the theater-style rear passengers to truly enjoy the visual enjoyment of the theater.
