A few days ago, we went to Chifeng, Inner Mongolia, and tested the Kia Chi Run Ace. 1.5T engine, intelligent interconnected cockpit, leading semi-automatic driver assistance system, fully open design and modeling of gas field, all these are what young car owners can say.
200 horsepower is fierce, but I prefer to slow down.
Why can Honda's third-generation Fit become a "civil supercar"? How did Honda's 10th Civic become a "Ferrari per second" with an acceleration of 0- 100km/h of nearly 10 second? Moreover, the market response of these two Honda masterpieces is quite good, and the sales volume is also a lot of support.
At that time, the maximum power 1.5L naturally aspirated engine with a fit of 13 1 horsepower was the strongest in its class. Civic's 1.5T turbocharged engine, with maximum power 177 horsepower, was also the strongest power (data) at that time, and was the capital of "showing off"!
Some people say that the history of automobile development is actually the history of engine development. Whoever can master the core technology of the engine will win the favor of consumers. Honda has "EarthDream" and Kia has a comparable "Smartstream" power system, which applies the unique fourth-generation CVVD technology in the world.
Kia Chi Run Ace is equipped with a 1.5T engine with a maximum power of 200 HP and a maximum torque of 253 Nm, matching the 7DCT gearbox. Wandering in the vast grassland of northern Xinjiang, Xiong Xiong is not willing to drive bloody and violently, but is more willing to slow down and explore the infinite scenery with Zhirun Ace.
At the moment when I first started, Kia Chi Run Ace gave me the greatest feeling of "obedient", and expressing it in our language is the driving force of "following the footsteps". In most cases, Zhirun Ace does not deliberately show how strong its strength is, and its strength is an orderly output. The advantage is that the power is easy to control.
Of course, Kia Chi running Ace can also provide you with a "grumpy" side. When you need to accelerate overtaking, this 1.5T engine has no turbo lag and no sudden feeling caused by turbo intervention. Everything comes naturally, smoothly and quickly, which will give you enough confidence to overtake.
There are not many manufacturers that have the ability to independently develop gearboxes, and Kia is one. The self-made gearbox has better matching with the engine and higher transmission efficiency. Many dual-clutch gearboxes are tuned to reduce the shifting speed in order to ensure the ride comfort, but the smart running Ace will not, they have both smooth and fast response.
Driving gently every day, for example, when we walk in Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia, which is full of traffic, we simply don't notice the shifting action of the gearbox, and everything is as smooth as lingyun running water. After stepping on the accelerator at high speed, the shift feeling is faster and more direct than that of ordinary AT gearbox.
Go to expressway, slow down, turn on DRIVE WiSE intelligent driver assistance system, and feel the scenery in front of you. This L2+ class safe driving assistance system is more comprehensive and intelligent than its peers. For example, speed limit 100km/h/h, if the system detects that the speed limit of the road ahead is 80km/h, the vehicle will automatically slow down for you, and it can also automatically identify the curve ahead to slow down.
After smooth expressway and stop-and-go urban road conditions, I was very surprised by the chassis texture of Kia Chi Run Ace, which was not as thin as Japanese cars or as hard as European and American cars. Sensitive steering and comfortable chassis training also double the handling.
As an SUV with a high center of gravity, the body of Zhirun Ace can show good sideslip and ride comfort. On the other hand, the addition of NVH noise reduction technology, quiet private space can effectively reduce the sense of irritability, while improving comfort and advanced sense.
Intelligence should not just be displayed.
After Internet gene implantation, they have their unique pursuit and value. Kia Chi Run Ace provides consumers with more world-leading brand-new products with higher product value, aesthetic value and detail value. I won't go into details about the exterior styling and interior design, but there are still some points I want to share with you in Xiong Xiong. First of all, Zhipao Ace is the pioneering work of Kia brand remodeling, and it is also the first model to adopt Kia's brand-new "high-energy pump aesthetics" design, with a brand-new LOGO logo.
In the interior, the traditional central symmetrical design has no sense of the times, so it is difficult to have a sense of design. Therefore, the interior design of many automobile products now inclines the center console and the central LCD screen to the driver's side in order to please the driver, but this design often makes the co-pilot passengers feel "I am redundant".
It is necessary to have a sense of design and fashion charm, but also to please the driver and not to offend the co-pilot. Kia Chi Run Ace gives such an answer: the brand-new interspersed connection mode and the contrasting horizontal through air conditioning outlet not only further enhance the space comfort, but also provide visual enjoyment for the co-pilot, which is also a kind of respect.
The design of the center console consisting of floating 10.25 inch display and full touch air conditioning control panel reveals some sense of fashion and technology. Technology is more than just a feeling. Zhirun Ace adopts Baidu intelligent interconnection system, which can not only realize online navigation, online music and voice control functions, but also realize mutual control between car and home, control smart devices at home in the car, and realize the link between people, cars and life.
Speaking of intelligent in-vehicle system, let's say a few more words. Compared with mainstream joint venture brands, China brand is much more advanced in functionality and intelligence. Because of many joint venture brand products, the central control screen is just a decoration, without any functionality, let alone intelligence. Kia, from K5 Kaiku to K3, to today's smart running ace, intelligent configuration is rare in competing products at the same level. After all, there is a blessing of "Baidu".
