After the birth of Chery Exploration 06 Yueye Edition, the concept of "four-wheel drive equality" and the personalized appearance design have attracted a lot of consumer attentionChery has just rearranged the Exploration 06, removing the Yueye version of the two-wheel drive model and launching an urban version with only a two-wheel drive system.
A few days ago, Chery launched the urban version of the Explore 06, the new car uses a two-wheel drive mode, and has made some exterior adjustments on the basis of the Yueye version. If the Yueye version is from the city out of the outdoors, then the city version is from the outdoors and back, what is the purpose of Chery's operation?
Still in Chengdu, the land of abundance, we were the first to test drive this freshly baked Exploration 06 Urban Edition. The first impression it gives people is indeed not as eye-catching as the Yueye version, but more calm and atmospheric, and the front grille is changed to a straight waterfall design, which is very different from the Yueye version, but it is still very harmonious with the same headlights, and there is no sense of disobedience at all.
The side of the body has not changed much, only the new five-spoke wheels have been replaced. The A, B-pillar and mirrors are still blackened, the waistline runs through the body, and the hidden door handles are also in vogue.
The rear of the car has a more minimalist design, with chrome treatment on both sides of the bumper, and the continuous taillights highlight the word "Chery", and the slightly upturned stance blends in with the side of the car. The overall exterior adjustment of the body clearly expresses the transition from "off-road" to "urban" style, but still retains its youthful vitality.
The interior of the new car has not changed much, with a large number of parallel lines, and the black interior enhances the texture, and the overall layout is decent. **Placed 132-inch central control screen, 1025-inch instrument screen. The central control screen is equipped with a Snapdragon 8155 chip, and it supports Apple CarPlay and Huawei HiCar systems at the same time, the screen is very smooth to use, and the operation logic is also very clear.
The body length, width and height of the Explore 06 Urban Edition are 4500 1865 1680mm, a standard compact SUV, but both visually and practically, it brings a leapfrog experience, especially in the rear, with plenty of legroom and a very comfortable sitting position.
The space in the trunk is not small, and it still meets the needs of young people outdoors and camping without folding down the rear seats, and some functional storage spaces are cleverly designed to make full use of all areas that can be developed.
The power uses Chery's familiar formula, Kunpeng Power 1The 6TGDI is paired with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch gearbox, which can output 197 horsepower and the maximum torque is 290Nm, which is comparable to some 20t engine. The engine does provide a lot of power, and when it comes to a grassy slope, the car behaves with ease, quickly disassuating your worries about the two-wheel drive system.
However, compared to the engine, the 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission is not perfect, and the performance is more obvious when overtaking and downshifting, which somewhat affects the performance of the engine, but the performance is quite positive in other scenarios. Due to the use of a two-wheel drive system, the Explore 06 Urban Edition only offers three conventional driving modes: Economy, Standard and Sport, and the official fuel consumption of the new car is 698L 100km, after the painful experience of long-term traffic jam in Chengdu, the actual fuel consumption can also be controlled at about 8L 100km.
To say that this car left the deepest impression on me is the excellent noise reduction and chassis tuning, the chassis is very compact when cornering, so that you are very confident when steering, the body has maintained a good attitude when passing through the previously mentioned grass off-road road, there is no superfluous action, the driving comfort is very high, the same plus is the quiet atmosphere in the car, even when driving at high speeds, the car can not hear obvious noise, surpassing most competing models in the same price range.
Actually, at first, I was very vague about the positioning of Exploration 06, but after actually experiencing it, I was full of expectations. First of all, don't be confused by the names of "Yueye Edition" and "Urban Edition", the Yueye Edition is just a city SUV endowed with light off-road attributes, and the urban version has not completely abandoned the ability to off-road, this ambiguous difference has become the biggest competitiveness of the exploration 06, because no matter which one you choose, you can have a variety of use scenarios, and all you need to consider is **, fuel consumption and drive mode.
