In August of this year, Chery launched the Discovery 06 Yueye Edition. As the first model of the Discovery series, it focuses on the light off-road market with a new styling.
Immediately afterwards, Chery launched the Exploration 06 Urban Edition, a version that emphasizes more urban scenes and different product images, and is also the Exploration 06 version launched by Chery overseas, which further improves the product layout of Exploration 06 by comprehensively building a product layout of "cities and wilds".
Why do hardcore SUVs still have a city version?
The previously listed Exploration 06 Yueye Edition allows you to not only buy four-wheel drive for 120,000 yuan, but also roll the light off-road category to a new height. But since we have gone out of the city and put the positioning on the outdoor off-road, why do we have to turn around and come out with an urban version now?
It's not the first time we've seen a hard-core off-road SUV launch of an urban version, or a boxy SUV that is actually an urban attribute. With everyone's enthusiasm for outdoor camping and other scenes in the post-epidemic era, the traditional fuel SUV and new energy SUV categories focusing on light off-road have become the sweets of the market after urban SUVs.
However, after all, there are still a few people who really have the time and energy to go out for self-driving camping or crossing from time to time, and with the recovery of all walks of life, ordinary consumers have begun to re-engage in busy work, and urban commuting is still the vast majority of use cases. However, after the edification of the market in recent years, everyone has more recognition of the relatively hard-core and masculine shape, and many people's aesthetics have moved closer from the delicacy of urban SUVs in the past to the ruggedness of off-road SUVs.
Therefore, an SUV with a hard masculine shape, but at the same time with various urban attributes is very necessary, and it is also very in line with the imagination of many people for a car. As a result, the Discovery 06 also launched an urban version model on the basis of the original Yueye version, and the two configurations are comfortable and luxurious, and the prices are 11990,000 and 12990,000 yuan, the threshold is really not high.
And according to the reservation order of the exploration 06, 70% are four-wheel drive versions, so this is one of the reasons why the urban version has only launched two models, compared to the Yueye version that has reached five configurations today, the urban version provides more diversified functions in the car series, which is enough to meet the needs of some urban users.
The two models can basically correspond to the Yueye version of the exploration and exploration version in terms of configuration, especially the entry comfort version and the exploration version, the difference between the two is 3000 yuan and 11m large panoramic electric anti-pinch sunroof and electric sunshade, which is also the ** of the optional sunroof package of the Exploration Edition. So, you can also get an idea of the positioning of the urban version in the entire car seriesHighly recognizable, instantly recognizable
The Discovery 06 Urban Edition and the previous Yueye Edition can be distinguished at a glance, and the eye-catching changes are presented in the difference in the shape of the large area of the mesh.
The previous Yueye version of the mesh was composed of horizontal digital irregular lines, and at the same time incorporated the large "Chery" brand lettering, which has a futuristic feel. The urban version has been changed to a unified large-area longitudinal regular line, similar to our common waterfall style grille shape, inspired by the European and American classical harp, and at the same time the "chery" is reduced, the through-type daytime running lights are canceled, and the outline of the grille has also been adjusted, which is not the pure rectangular frame of the Yueye version.
The side lines of the body remain basically unchanged, with a floating roof, straight waistline and hidden door handles, while the main changes are concentrated in the rear bumper, which has been changed from the previous body color to silver trim, while the exhaust port shape has also been changed from square to trapezoidal, which is also more in line with the design style of urban SUVs.
So, at first glance, you can instantly distinguish between the urban version and the Yueye version, the urban version is more refined and traditional, and the Yueye version is relatively sporty and aggressive, and the two front faces present a very distinct style for you to choose from.
There is no obvious difference between the interior of the car and before, and the overall use of flat straight line elements, suspended 132-inch portrait center display and 10Under the 25-inch full LCD instrument, the center console presents different layers through different materials, especially the brown interior has a certain home atmosphere.
The central control screen integrates a rich audio-visual entertainment system, with the blessing of the Snapdragon 8155 chip, the operation is silky smooth and smooth, and it supports Apple CarPlay and Huawei HiCar systems at the same time, and the scalability of interconnection with mobile phones is stronger. In addition, there are many 540° high-definition panoramic images, vehicle OTAs, 50W wireless fast charging for mobile phones, intelligent voice systems, and 3+X scenario modes, and the level of intelligence is no worse than that of trams.
Closer to urban consumers
This Exploration 06 Urban Edition still uses Kunpeng Power 1The power combination of 6TGDI + 7DCT has a maximum power of 197 horsepower and a maximum torque of 290Nm. In terms of parameters, it has approached quite a few 2The level of the 0t engine has the level of breaking 100 in 8 seconds.
In fact, it is still a relatively obvious turbine style, deliberately outputting power in the low-rpm area and reaching the peak torque at 2000rpm, but at the same time the power is not too abrupt, so the overall acceleration process is still relatively linear.
In addition, the seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox shifts very quickly, and it can also actively downshift when accelerating power well. Therefore, driving this Discovery 06 Urban Edition is more comfortable in daily commuting scenarios, which is in line with the positioning of its urban version identity.
Of course, the biggest difference between the urban version and the Yueye version is that the four-wheel drive has been canceled, so the driving mode only retains the three modes of economy, standard and sport, instead of the seven under the four-wheel drive version. In urban scenarios, it can bring lower fuel consumption, and the official WLTC fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is only 698L, which is 0 lower than the 4WD version5l。
On the Discovery 06 Urban Edition luxury model, Chery is still equipped with a wealth of L2 autonomous driving assistance functions, including full-speed ACC adaptive cruise, LDW lane departure warning, LDP lane departure suppression, FCW front collision warning, AEB automatic emergency braking, IES intelligent avoidance, CSA intelligent cornering speed reduction, TJA traffic jam assist and other comprehensive functions.
Che Yun summary
Overall, the Discovery 06 Urban Edition has not changed substantially from the previous Yueye Edition, but certain adjustments have been made for urban use scenarios in both dynamic and static aspects, providing another style option in the entire Exploration 06 car series, especially for those who like off-road style, but have little opportunity to go off-road in person, the Urban Edition model is a good choice. What's more, in the market of less than 130,000, as a fuel-intensive SUV, the Explore 06 is even more cost-effective.
