The 2023 Chevrolet Trailblazer is positioned as a medium and large SUV, and in the case of a starting price of less than 200,000, its frame safety and basic platform are not inferior to luxury brand models, and the Trailblazer is based on the C1XX long wheelbase platform of Cadillac XT6Let's break it down in detail.
Safe and reliable
In terms of frame, the pioneer adopts 8 horizontal and 16 vertical structural design, high-strength steel and ultra-high-strength steel account for 84%, which is one of the characteristics of American cars, the material is thick, there is no discount on the safety of the frame, and the B-pillar and the internal beam of the door are made of 1300MPa hot-stamping steel, especially after encountering a side impact, which can ensure the integrity of the passenger compartment.
In terms of manufacturing process, the laser brazing process is used on both sides of the roof of the Pioneer, which not only gives more styling changes to the body, but also ensures stiffness and sealing ability, in addition, in the details of assembly, a new structural adhesive is used to further strengthen the structural rigidity of welding. Both the front and rear subframes are designed with a full frame, and the four fastening points of the front subframe are connected to the body by rubber bushings, which reduces the quality for the city.
Torsional stiffness represents the handling performance and safety of the vehicle, and the thickness of the frame material, materials, structural design is directly related, the value is high on behalf of safety and reliability, the torsional rigidity of the pioneer reaches 25950nm deg, this data exceeds the same price of a number of fuel vehicles, and even close to the data of some electric vehicles, you must know that electric vehicles have the assistance of battery shells to achieve similar stiffness.
In addition, in terms of manufacturing process, GM also has advanced technologies, such as ARPLAS welding process, LASD water-based secondary coating, multi-layer sealing anti-corrosion, etc., and ensures the consistency of production quality through intelligent visual inspection, thermal imaging detection, automatic blue light measurement, dynamic torque monitoring, etc.
In terms of assisted safety, the four-wheel drive version is equipped with L2 driving assistance, including lane merge assist, forward collision warning, active braking, roadside assistance call, etc., to further improve driving safety.
Off-roadCapable of twin-clutch 4WD
Pioneer using the first multi-plate clutch timely four-wheel drive, in daily driving, the front wheel is responsible for driving, reduce fuel consumption, four-wheel drive system will monitor the vehicle torque demand in real time, 100 times per second intelligent adjustment, when the vehicle is driving on the slippery, snow, mud, pine gravel and other low-adhesion road surface, if the front wheel is slipping, the system will automatically transmit torque to the rear axle, when the front axle is slipping, the four-wheel drive system will quickly distribute torque for the rear axle, into the four-wheel drive mode.
Timely four-wheel drive is more common in urban SUVs, generally only the ability to drive on non-paved roads, unable to off-road, after one side of the tire slips, under the effect of the differential, all the torque will be transmitted to the slippery tire, even if you step on the accelerator deeply, you can not get out of trouble, and the pioneer on the basis of timely four-wheel drive, there is an additional set of twin-clutch system, the rear axle also has a clutch, can independently control the torque of the left and right wheels, the torque of the left and right rear wheels is 100: 0-0:100 vector distribution, after one tire slips, the power will be immediately transmitted to another adhesion wheel, just like an extra differential lock, the vehicle has a certain off-road ability to get out of trouble.
When off-road, the comfort of the Trailblazer is also more than the average urban SUV, the front suspension lower control arm and the front of the rear subframe also use a large-diameter hydraulic bushing, the bumpy road surface has a strong shock absorption ability, and its equipped hollow anti-roll bar reduces the risk of high-speed rollover.
Of course, the energy consumption of four-wheel drive vehicles is a problem, and the 48V mild hybrid standard configuration of the Pioneer reduces fuel consumption, and the mild hybrid has five working states: agile start, electric assistance, intelligent charging, braking energy** and electric idling, so that the American car has changed the characteristics of the oil tiger.
Large space
As a mid-to-large SUV, the size of the 2023 Trailblazer is worthy of recognition, with a body of more than 5 meters, reaching 5011 meters with a wheelbase of 2963 meters, with a 7-seat layout, the whole family can go out for a self-driving trip, the configuration of the front seats with heating ventilation, the second row of seats also have a heating function, the whole car has 37 storage space, even if fully loaded, there is also a trunk volume of 222 liters, if you put down the seats, the space is directly expanded to 1970L, SUV becomes a truck, and moving and pulling goods is not a problem. The seat is made of foamed double-hardness material, with different regional hardness, to achieve a reasonable distribution of soft and hard material areas, and bring the riding experience of an American-style large sofa.
Car Pick Detective Viewpoint:Strong, reliable, and safe, the torsional rigidity of the 2023 Chevrolet Trailblazer is among the best in its class, inheriting the solid characteristics of American car materials, giving people a safe and reliable riding space, and its unique rear wheel torque vectoring function makes this urban SUV more "wild", with a certain off-road ability, plus a large 7-seat space, the Trailblazer is an all-rounder.
