How does Buick SUV off-road vehicle strike a balance between comfort and off-road performance?

Buick launched the 2022 Angkor sedan series, most of which are equipped with four-wheel drive system, and urban SUVs are equipped with four-wheel drive system, which is completely easy to use for many people. In order to prove that its four-wheel drive system is not only a decorative design, but also a combination of comfort and off-road vehicles, Buick recently held a test drive at Naguangde proving ground, mainly including the first opening of off-road vehicles, including various real-time road conditions. No matter from the comfort or the construction of "modern American luxury", Buick's performance has always been obvious, but how will it be reflected in the off-road vehicle level? This is exactly the answer we want to ask this time.

First of all, the power devices of this test drive model are all the eighth generation Ecotec 2.0T variable cylinder engines of Buick family, which are suitable for the intelligent conversion from three modes of "excellent performance of four cylinders", "economic development of four cylinders" and "super economic development of two cylinders" to high power and 237 horsepower. At the same time, it is also equipped with a 48V light mixing system and its matching 9-speed hydraulic automatic gearbox. In addition, Angkor S and Angkor Plus are also equipped with a newly upgraded 1.5T four-cylinder engine with high power of 2 1 1 horsepower, and a 48V light mixing system and its paired 9-speed HYDRA-MATIC transmission.

Nothing, let's look at the most important part of this period. As the road entering the off-road vehicle area for the first time, its total length is 2.2km, including soft stone road, big stone road, automobile wading road, horizontal axis, steep slope pit drop, wooden pillow side slope, vertical and horizontal ditch in the forest and other real-time road conditions that may be encountered in outdoor off-road safety driving. It is simulated from different levels. Interestingly, there were two heavy rains on the test stand that day, which enhanced some difficulty factors for off-road driving. At present, Avia series of Buick SUV is equipped with FlexRide responsive Safe Driving System software, which gives a variety of performance modes to choose from. It is also equipped with intelligent all-real-time road condition four-wheel drive system, which can not only control the torque distribution of front and rear axles, but also adjust the torque of left and right rear tires between 100/0 and 0/ 100. Users can naturally choose two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive freely, and in the front-wheel drive mode, the relevant parts of the four-wheel drive will be completely broken to ensure better fuel economy.

However, if you want to pass some slightly challenging real-time road conditions, it is suggested to adjust the performance mode to off-road mode first to ensure better passability. At this moment, we can clearly see the car body posture, tire conditions and other information on the dashboard. In the off-road vehicle area, in some meaningful areas, the soft stone road is the first. Under such a road surface, the tire will be suspended in the air, which is somewhat similar to the familiar bullet hole, mainly reflecting the performance of tire torque distribution. But on this road, we can feel that in the case of high tire speed, the system software will soon distribute the torque to other tires with wear resistance, and the whole process is relatively easy.
