Starting from Qiqihar in Heilongjiang Province, it crosses the middle section of the majestic Great Khing'an Mountains, and the destination is Hulunbuir, the easternmost city of Inner Mongolia, which is already very close to the Russian border. Local people told me that in summer, there are green pastures and herds of cattle and sheep, and the maximum temperature can reach 35 degrees, but in winter, the mountains here are covered with snow, and the extremely cold weather of more than minus 20 degrees makes it difficult to find people outside.
This can be called a truly extreme environment, even if it is an intelligent species like humans, walking on the snow-covered road, it is not possible to guarantee stability, and how can an industrial product such as a car be enough to adapt to the environment and maintain balance? Recently, in the Chang'an Qiyuan Ice and Snow Challenge, I found the answer after a one-day test drive of the Chang'an Qiyuan Extended Range A07.
Snowy day! Hot car!
In the process of this ice and snow test drive, an old brother who traveled with him was an authentic northeasterner from Heilongjiang, and in the topic of chatting with him, he was always inseparable from the heating **, which seemed to have become the pride of the Northeast people, and also made me feel envious of southerners. "* Under the subsidy, our heating cost for a winter is about 3,000 yuan, in fact, it is okay, this is a must-have for every household. He said.
Shivering from the cold outdoors into the room, the heating without waiting for the cold to blow in, the cold on the body instantly turns into a pleasant coolness, and then the body quickly begins to warm up, such a feeling is less experienced by southerners, but it is indeed what everyone hopes to have in winter.
Not only looking forward to having a 24-hour warm interior, but also looking forward to being able to have an immediate heating up in the car environment, driving as an ordinary life scene for ordinary people, almost the existence of a second home, a steering wheel design that can automatically heat up in winter, can be enviable at the moment, if there is a car that can do the car quickly heats up, no need to wait, the joy that the hot car in the snow brings me will be infinite.
Nearly 500 kilometers of test driving and about 5 times of getting on and off the car told me that Changan Qiyuan A07 is such a car that can bring me happiness in snowy days. In the ultra-low temperature environment, a few minutes in advance of the remote start, Changan Qiyuan A07 can complete the preparation of the car in a short time, and then enter the cockpit, the car is already full of heating warmth, almost no additional waiting, get in the car and start and drive away.
Later, I learned that this is inseparable from the support of advanced technology. The official explanation is that Changan Qiyuan A07 is equipped with micro-nucleus high-frequency pulse heating technology, which can effectively solve the problem of battery heating under low temperature conditions, for example, in an environment of minus 30, the speed of battery temperature increase can still reach 4 per minute, and at the same time improve 50% low-temperature dynamics and shorten the charging time by 15%.
This effectively alleviates the anxiety of energy replenishment and hot car faced by driving a new energy vehicle in winter, but all this must be based on sufficient battery safety. As for battery safety, just a test drive does not fully recognize how safe it is, but we can know through some official data.
It is reported that in terms of battery safety, Changan Qiyuan A07 adopts a battery technology called "Golden Bell Jar", as the name suggests, it is similar to the Golden Bell Jar in martial arts, safe, reliable, stable and all-round. Specifically, Changan Qiyuan A07 uses a new type of military standard thermal insulation material on the battery, and the thermal insulation performance is 30% higher than the industry level, 100% thermal suppression is realized, and the use temperature is more than 200 times higher than that of conventional materials. Or it can be used for real-time computing of cloud big data to protect the safety of the whole life cycle of the battery 24/7, realize millisecond-level security risk perception, and prevent 100% safety risks.
It has always been said that safety is the greatest luxury of a car, in fact, for a new energy vehicle, safety is also the greatest comfort of a car, especially the battery safety that users are very concerned about. From this point of view, spending money on Chang'an Qiyuan A07 that is safe and comfortable enough is just as worth it as the Northeast brother spends 3,000 yuan on heating.
Fast and furious on the ice
In addition to basic comfort and safety, endurance, mechanical quality and chassis tuning are all indispensable abilities, which is why more car companies' ice and snow test drives are just point-to-point. Chang'an Qiyuan dared to release 30 cars this time, with a test drive mileage of 1,000 kilometers on ice and snow, and multi-scene in-depth test drives on urban roads, highways and ice lake tracks, and the confidence in the product behind it has been obvious.
Needless to say, the importance of battery life for new energy vehicles in winter is naturally needless to say, the environment is cold, and the battery life of new energy vehicles is easy to be discounted. Yan Jinghui, a member of the expert committee of the China Automobile Dealers Association, said: "In winter, pure electric vehicles need to sacrifice part of their electricity to heat the heater, and at the same time, the power battery itself also needs a certain temperature to maintain the range consumption, so the power consumption of the vehicle will further increase. ”
The 500km journey from Qiqihar to Hulunbuir is undoubtedly a test for the Changan Qiyuan A07 I am driving, but what is surprising is that he has broken through the new limit of China's new energy vehicles. Changan Qiyuan A07 extended-range CLTC has a comprehensive range of 1200km, which is a particularly reassuring endurance number.
In fact, before departure, the cruising range of Changan Qiyuan A07 recorded by me was 940km, and finally relied on these endurance, in the extremely cold environment of minus 30 degrees, I ran 500km without refueling, which greatly alleviated my endurance anxiety. And it is worth mentioning that Changan Qiyuan A07 also performs very well in fuel saving and power saving, and the final data shows that the comprehensive fuel consumption of oil and electricity is 4 per 100 kilometers9L, which is also remarkable in such an extremely cold environment.
Finally, let's talk about the driving experience, which is actually something that I value very much when driving in the snow. Just imagine, you are driving on the ice and snow road with little friction, always testing your grasp of the feeling of the body, because if you are not careful, the speed is too fast, the turn is too sharp, or the wheels catch up with the ice edge, you may slip uncontrollably and fall into danger, and the car with unstable chassis and poor mechanical quality will fall to the situation that the accelerator and brake dare not step on, even if it is driven on the Suiman Expressway with fewer cars and a speed limit of 100.
And in this road situation, if you turn the left light to change lanes to show that you want to overtake, then the front car will consciously keep to the right, leaving a more adequate overtaking lane for the rear car, which seems to have become the subconscious action of every Northeast person driving, but it also confirms that winter is a real test of car and driving skills.
Chang'an Qiyuan A07 feels stable and powerful all the way down, and it is easy to drive on slippery roads. On the one hand, Changan Qiyuan A07 is equipped with a set of 1The powertrain of a 5L engine + motor has a maximum power of 70kW and a peak torque of 141Nm, and an electric motor has a maximum power of 160kW and a peak torque of 320Nm. In addition, the rear-wheel drive form can also bring more fun to the driver.
On the other hand, Changan Qiyuan A07 has worked hard in chassis tuning. This is especially after changing with the Northeast brother, I feel deeper when I sit in the back row, coupled with the hot sun of the Northeast shining through the car window, the slightly vibrating body and the moderate soft and hard seats, I will be so comfortable that I will doze off. This is because Changan Qiyuan A07 is equipped with an aluminum alloy H-arm rear overhang, which has stronger control over the rear wheels and can respond to wheel bounce and body attitude changes more carefully and closely.
On the professional track, driving Changan Qiyuan series models Q05 and A07 can burst out the complex emotions of passion and balance.
As the culmination of Changan Automobile's digital and intelligent new energy technology, Changan Qiyuan also carries the mission of Changan Automobile's new energy digital and intelligent transformation, and was given very high expectations at the beginning of its birth, and within 4 months after the brand was released, the sales volume of the whole series exceeded 40,000 units, and this ice and snow challenge is the best representation of this achievement, he provides Changan Qiyuan with a stage to show the strength and performance of its products, and I believe that Changan Qiyuan will continue to steadily promote Changan Automobile to a new level in the future.
