Test drive feeling: 200 horsepower, this 1.5T is different.
Open the power parameter specification table of Zhirun Ace, and the maximum power output of 1.5T engine is 200 HP. From the parameter point of view, Zhirun Ace has surpassed the level of medium-sized SUV, which is equivalent to the mainstream 2.0T engine parameters on the market. Such achievements cannot be achieved without strong "technical support". According to the communication with engineers, the whole power system of Zhirun Ace contains many new technologies: the fourth generation CVVD technology, high swirl combustion system (HTCS), low resistance motion system (FOMS), intelligent thermal management system (ITMS) and exhaust gas recirculation (HIE EGR). In particular, CVVD technology created by Hyundai Kia Group can reasonably control the valve opening timing and opening duration without changing the valve lift. The most direct benefit is to switch between performance and fuel saving efficiency to achieve the best state.
The author has tried Zhirun Ace many times, and every time he laments that its power output is so smooth. Abundant power reserve allows it to release the maximum torque output at any time in the range of 2200-4000rpm, which ensures that it not only has excellent speed increase in the initial stage, but also can feel the continuous output power even if it exceeds 80 km/h, which is also very pleasing. The accelerator pedal setting of Zhipao Ace is also very light and sensitive, and walking on the stop-and-go sections of the city will not make drivers feel tired.
The task of the 7-speed DCT gearbox is to keep all gears smooth, which I think is perfect. First of all, the start and low speed are smooth enough. Secondly, the promotion is very positive. When the throttle is at the end, you can quickly and decisively drop from 7 to 3, with almost no sense of frustration. Finally, it is matched with the engine, which makes Zhirun Ace achieve excellent fuel economy performance.
The front McPherson rear multi-link chassis structure gives the smart running Ace comfortable adjustment. Suspension can simply filter vibration, and small bumps can be fully filtered. The overall support of the suspension gives the driver strong confidence, and there will be no big roll in the face of continuous cornering and high-speed lane change.
Smart mode is not common. In this mode, the driver will judge the acceleration and deceleration requirements independently according to the operation of the accelerator pedal, and switch between comfortable, sports and energy-saving driving modes. In addition, Smart Run Ace also offers three off-road modes: snow, mud and sand. The author also experienced the L2+ automatic assisted driving function of Chi Run Ace. Intelligent cruise control based on navigation and lane keeping can keep the vehicle in the middle of the road stably and safely, and lane line recognition is accurate enough, which gives the author a very good impression in the competing products of the same level.
Generally speaking, from the positioning of smart running Ace, its dynamic driving performance can score high. The surging power and good driving quality are believed to satisfy young consumers. In addition, intelligent driving mode adjustment and automatic assisted driving function are also ahead of competing products at the same level.
Appearance: muscular man's gorgeous turn
As an evergreen tree in the domestic SUV market, Zhipao Sportage is no stranger to Chinese people. The history of Sportage can be traced back to 1993, which is earlier than the well-known CR-V and RAV4. Domestic consumers are deeply impressed by the second generation Sportage, and its square and tough shape is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. After years of development, Zhirun Ace has adopted the "high-energy pump aesthetics" in its design, which combines personalized and popular elements on the basis of strength and sense of being ahead.
Inspired by the neuroaesthetics founded by British scientist Cemir Zeki, "High Energy Pump Aesthetics" is an interdisciplinary subject of art and science. We can understand that people's understanding of beauty is not only a kind of sense, but also a kind of perception, which is an experience process completed by the sensory system, nervous system and endocrine system.
The roaring front face shape perfectly blends the headlights with the front air intake grille, and a silver matte trim runs through the left and right, with an orange guard below, making Zhirun ace highly recognizable. The orange decoration under the "GT Line" sports kit is very eye-catching and rich in details, which further strengthens the founder's tough body design.
In terms of details, Zhirun Ace adopts integrated middle net and headlights, star lattice horizontal net/waterfall vertical net, tomahawk LED headlights with "diamond cutting", "blade" daytime running lights and vertical glare taillights to fill the delicate feeling under tough lines.
Although it is positioned in a compact SUV, the length of Zhirun Ace has reached 4530mm after the body length has increased by 70 mm. The GT-Line version of the orange side skirt trim and the "GT-Line" logo also add a lot of color to the overall visual experience. A large number of straight design elements are used in the tail of Zhirun Ace, and the wide lower guard plate is equipped with bilateral exhaust decoration and diffuser design.
Standing in front of Zhirun Ace, you will feel that it smells like a hard-core SUV, without complicated lines, angular waistlines and exquisite details. Zhirun Ace is like a muscular man wearing gorgeous clothes and full of charm.
Indoor: the combination of trend and introversion
Entering Zhipao Ace car, its interior design is dedicated to creating an immersive pump technology sports atmosphere. The most textured is the contrast between black and orange, which helps the cockpit to be full of lively charm. Material details and color matching make this cockpit full of youthful elements, while emphasizing that the driving atmosphere coincides with the needs of young consumers.
In recent years, major car companies are undergoing digital and intelligent transformation. Kia and Baidu have cooperated in depth and won praise in the circle. Zhirun Ace is Kia's first production model equipped with the latest Baidu intelligent interconnection system 3.0.
Before I experience the Baidu Intelligent Networking 3.0 system, I want to introduce two highlights that impressed me deeply. First, the UI design of information switching between 7-inch LCD instruments is very advanced. The driver can adjust the display content through the function keys of the steering wheel, and different driving modes will automatically change the display effect through different colors. Secondly, Zhirun Ace has not completely abandoned the touch button. We can see that there are many touch buttons with convenient control functions under the central control panel. Volume adjustment, air conditioning, maps and other commonly used are easy to find, easy to use, and personally like it.
The biggest surprise for me to experience Baidu Intelligent Network Connection 3.0 system is its voice function. It uses the DuerOS speech recognition engine. Both drivers and passengers can wake up the voice interaction system and support dual-tone voice recognition, and support the execution of some scenes according to the location of the wakeup person. For example, the passenger's command "turn on the seat heating", the vehicle will only turn on the passenger's side function. The function of car-home interconnection can be divided into "home control car" and "home control car". Smart Run Ace users can remotely control the car through Baidu smart speakers at home, or control the smart home appliances connected to the home through voice in the car. Through communication with authoritative departments, we learned that there are more than 400 accessible brands and Taiwan Province enterprises, including Haier, Midea, Skyworth, etc., and nearly 40 categories such as household appliances and smart small household appliances have been accessed. Nowadays, the car is more than just a means of transportation. It is more like our "personal assistant". Intelligent running Ace can help car owners control smart devices at home in real time. What a thoughtful function!
OTA aerial upgrade has now become the "standard" of intelligent systems. For Baidu's intelligent Internet system, the software, voice control and map information in the infotainment system can be updated by using the data interaction of mobile Internet and adopting the same software iteration method as that of smart phones. As far as my personal experience is concerned, I think OTA upgrade is not only to keep pace with the times, but also to bring the owners a trendy car experience at all times. Are you ready to run, Ace owner?
Summary: 202 1 is a key year for Dongfeng Da Yue Kia brand remodeling. A fist product will undoubtedly be an essential element to open the market, and it is obvious to run Ace intelligently.
