Original After the configuration experience, the long-term test of Changan Auchan X5 PLUS has also ushered in the final stage-power experience. We already have psychological expectations for this part before the experience, because Blue Whale The powered models do perform well in terms of power, especially the 1.5T+7DCT power set, which is maturely tuned and stable, and its data is also at the leading level in its class. So how about the power performance of Auchan X5 PLUS, let us reveal together.
Power system introduction
Before the test drive, let's take a look at this set of power, the power combination of Blue Whale's new-generation NE 1.5T engine and Blue Whale 7DCT, with a maximum power of 138kW and a peak torque of 300N m; the official claim is zero hundred 7.51s.
This set of power is characterized by fast start, fast overtaking, and fast rear acceleration. It only takes 3.8 seconds from 0-60km/h. For daily driving, especially in urban scenes, such acceleration is completely sufficient. In terms of fuel economy, the Auchan X5 PLUS has an active air intake grille, which automatically opens and closes to adjust the wind resistance, which can achieve a more fuel-efficient effect.
The competitiveness of this set of power is still based on the price. The joint venture model XR-V with the same price uses a 1.5L engine . High and low at a glance.
test drive experience
Getting started with the Auchan X5 PLUS, the first feeling is that the front acceleration is brisk. The peak torque speed range of the Blue Whale NE 1.5T engine is 1600-4100rpm. When I step on the accelerator to about one-third of the position, the acceleration force is obvious.
The 7-speed wet gearbox shifts gears in a timely manner. When the front stage accelerates, the gearbox will upshift when the engine reaches about 2500rpm. When it reaches the 7th gear, the speed will stabilize at about 2000rpm.
The direction of the steering wheel is precise enough, and there are three adjustable power assists. You can choose different power assists according to your driving habits. This design is very humanized.
In terms of driving modes, we focused on the smart power output mode. In this mode, the vehicle will adjust the driving mode according to the driver's control. If you drive gently, the vehicle will be close to the comfort and economy mode. If you drive more intensely, the vehicle will It's close to sport mode.
In Smart mode, full-speed adaptive cruise control is turned on, and the vehicle automatically controls acceleration and deceleration, making the driver much more relaxed. It is very convenient whether it is urban traffic jams or long-distance driving. Coupled with 360° panoramic images, passing through narrow roads or parking will give the driver more confidence, and the driving process will be very easy, and these configurations can be won with less than 120,000 top models.
If you are more pursuing a sense of control, you can switch to the track mode. At this time, the three screens will switch the theme at the same time, and the simulated sound will also be turned on to create an atmosphere in the car.
In the track mode, the accelerator response speed is very fast, and you can clearly feel the back push when you lightly step on the accelerator. The gearbox is also quite cooperative, and the upshift is delayed to keep the engine in the speed range of peak torque. After experiencing the whole process, I think this mode can stimulate my driving desire, and the sporty style of Auchan X5 PLUS is obvious.
It is worth mentioning that the Auchan X5 PLUS adopts the front MacPherson + rear multi-link independent suspension, which is rarely available in the same level of models.
Edit summary:
The long-term test of the Auchan X5 PLUS has come to an end here. This car is undoubtedly an excellent product in the 100,000-class SUV. In terms of design, it gives users more personalized elements. The materials are solid and have a sense of class. The configuration is leapfrog, and the power performance is also satisfactory. If you want to choose a family SUV while pursuing a sense of sportiness and quality, the Auchan X5 PLUS is a good choice.
