Do you notice it?China's population structure and traffic conditions have determined that many families will set their sights on medium and large SUVs with larger space when they are buying more, and many consumers will associate them with 7-seat SUVs. However, many consumers have a low utilization rate of the third row, and if there is not always a need to travel with a large family, the big five-seater is a better choice. Today we will take a look at a very standard large five-seater SUV - Range Cruiser.
Atmospheric exterior styling
In terms of styling, the Ranger uses a family-oriented design, and it is instantly recognizable as a FAW-Volkswagen. The front face is made up of several parts, which are very layered, such as the headlight cluster, the internal wing-shaped, the use of LED light sources, the thick silver chrome trim strip of the middle grille, and the horizontal grille. The lower envelope has a two-section design, partly a metal structure on which the license plate frame sits, and partly a grille, with a trim strip throughout. The side lines are quite interesting, probably because the body is long enough, so a certain angle is made of a slip-back, which brings a more sporty visual effect, which is a challenge for the interior space, but with FAW-Volkswagen's space attainment, these are not a problem. The visual experience brought by the slipback can also be seen in the rear, which is more like a sports SUV. The force of the taillights, like squashed braces, is connected by a deep, carved trim. The exhaust at the bottom is very airy, and it is made into a style with a total of four outlets on both sides.
The spatial performance is very good
Many people have a misconception about the large five-seater, thinking that the space of the five-seater car is too small. In fact, with the same body type, the five-seater car can get better and more reasonable rear space, and the utilization rate of the trunk is also particularly high. You don't have to pay more fuel for extra seats. Taking the Range Cruiser as an example, the length of this car has reached 4936mm and the wheelbase is 2980mm, which is an extremely standard medium and large SUV data. Many cars in the same class will be made into 7 seats, which leads to the fact that the second row of seats with high utilization rate becomes very crowded, which is a bit more than worth the loss. The second row of the Range Cruiser has plenty of space, and the average adult can move more than two fists of legroom when riding. This performance can not only make the car more comfortable for family users, but also take into account the strong business use. For example, if there is a requirement for reception at work, an SUV can achieve a second-row experience close to that of an MPV, and the trunk is spacious enough to accommodate a lot of luggage. On weekends, take a family on an outing or camping trip, and you won't feel tired because of uncomfortable sitting on the road, and the loading capacity is completely able to put down tents, canopies and other items. Plenty of space is part of it, and the details can keep up. The first is the panoramic sunroof, which can maximize the visual experience of rear passengers, and secondly, the floor is flat, making it easier to get on and off the car, and the comfort will not be reduced when fully loaded. There are also a wide range of functional features, such as a 90° opening of the second row of doors, independent rear air conditioning, and an electric tailgate.
The dynamics are outstanding
The Range Patrol has two sets of power, which are 20T high and low power engine, the maximum horsepower of the low-power engine reaches 186ps, matched with a 7DCT gearbox, which is an extremely common combination of FAW-Volkswagen. Because the traditional efficiency is high enough, pulling such a large body, the acceleration time of 100 kilometers can also be achieved in about 10 seconds. If you have a rich budget and have high power requirements, it is more appropriate to choose a high-power model. The maximum horsepower is 220 PS and the maximum torque is 350 Nm, mated to a 7dct gearbox.
A nice model
The cumulative sales of the ranger model have long exceeded most models of the same level, and it is a leader in the field of large five-seater in China, and its position is very significant. As a flagship SUV carefully manufactured by FAW-Volkswagen, the performance of the Range Patrol is indeed good in all aspects, with interior space far exceeding that of models of the same category, functional configuration and power, and driving control are very in line with the needs of domestic families. Friends who have recently asked to buy a car may wish to pay more attention to FAW-Volkswagen's "flagship five-seater SUV".
