Chapter 484: It belongs to a high-revving engine

BMW has three brands, namely BMW, MINI and Rolls-Royce.

Rover, who lost money, finally became Roewe in the hands of Huaxia, and Land Rover finally became Jaguar Land Rover in India.

Roewe is thriving in the hands of SAIC, but Land Rover is losing money in the hands of the Tata Group, and the Indians and the Chinese cannot compare.

Speaking of which, Fang Yuan wondered, when the Land Rover was in the hands of the British and Germans, it was indeed a high-end brand, and in the hands of the Indians who repaired the plane and dropped the plane and repaired the shipwreck, it was already rotten from the root, the assembly process was poor, and there were a lot of problems, how could anyone buy it?

"Look only at the appearance, not the quality. Wang Hu smiled, "The current Land Rover is also eating the old bottom." ”

"The Indians boycott us in China, and we boycott their stuff. Zhang Bo waved his clenched fists and screamed.

"Okay, I'll just say this to you, I'll settle your brother. Fang Yuan put his arms around Zhang Bo's shoulders, feeling that this kid was very angry with himself in some aspects.

Since it is a brand of BMW, MINI has a very deep racing heritage, so the handling performance of MINI is quite good.

It inherits the genes of BMW's control, the steering wheel has good directivity, is sensitive and fast, and there is no bit of vacuum, which can be said to point to where to play, and the steering wheel feedback texture is very good for people who like sports.

If the control is good, the steering wheel must be heavy, and the tuning of the suspension must be very hard, so that there is texture, so that you can experience the driving pleasure.

The calibration of this CLUBMAN's electric power steering is very sporty, and the steering wheel steering force is heavy whether it is in place, at low speed or high speed.

Especially the low-speed steering is heavier, and the young ladies who are attracted by the mini's appearance need strength to drive it, which is really hard.

Girls with little strength will definitely be able to train into unicorn arms after a long time, and a handsome guy like Zhang Bo is very suitable, and even the money to go to the gym is saved.

In the future, when driving, wear short sleeves, and inadvertently expose the biceps brachii on the arm, triceps, and four, five, six, seven or eight ceps when you turn around.

THE CLUBMAN'S CHASSIS TUNING IS GEARED TOWARDS THE STYLE COMMONLY USED IN RACING CARS OR TUNED CARS, AND THANKS TO THE STRONG ROLL SUPPRESSION OF THE SUSPENSION, IT IS NOT ONLY AGILE DURING STEERING, BUT ALSO STRESS-FREE IN CORNERING AT HIGH SPEEDS.

This also results in a road feeling that is simply too clear, and any detail on the ground can be really felt by the owner through the suspension.

If you pass the speed bump according to the speed of an ordinary car, it will definitely be awkward, and the suspension will not have a trace of excess rebound, and you can enjoy the treatment of A45 as completely hard, and you can even feel the asphalt particles on the road.

THE CLUBMAN'S DRIVING EXPERIENCE IS FAR LESS SILLY AND CUTE THAN ITS APPEARANCE, AND IT CONTAINS MORE SPEED AND SPORTINESS, SO THE SEATS ARE AS COMFORTABLE AS NISSAN'S LARGE SOFA.

In other words, the mini didn't intend to make the owner comfortable to drive.

How can comfort appear on the mini? It must be on par with the racing car bucket seat, which can not only save money but also allow the owners to experience the driving pleasure of racing, and wait until they get off the car while rubbing their old waist, while a high horse.

The CLUBMAN in front of me is exactly like this, eight years old, the steering wheel is still accurate, the chassis as a whole is still not loose, the suspension quality is still excellent, the toughness is very strong, the lateral support is very strong, there is no hesitation when crossing the ditch, and the response speed is very fast, which is very rare for a car of more than 70,000 kilometers, which proves that the old CLUBMAN assembly process and materials are still very conscientious.

After introducing the reasons for the stiffness of the chassis and seats, Fang Yuan stared at Zhang Bo: "So if you like passion and control, and want to experience the feeling of track racing, then buying this CLUBMAN is the right choice, if you want comfort and relaxation, forget it as soon as possible." Or I'll introduce you to the latest mini, which has been tuned to compromise on comfort. ”

Zhang Bo's ultimate dream is to be fun, and there must be control to realize his wishes, what new mini do you want?

In Zhang Bo's view, the CLUBMAN in front of him is as Fang Yuan said, it is different from the ordinary BMW mini, the body is more slender, the space is larger, and the sports style of the CLUBMAN is more prominent.

ZHANG BO LOOKED AT THIS CLUBMAN AND FORGOT TO ANSWER, FANG YUAN WAS READY TO ADD ANOTHER FIRE TO ADD FUEL TO THE FIRE.

Fang Yuan motioned for Wang Hu to open the engine compartment, and then pulled Zhang Bo to the front of the car together.

Fang Yuan pointed to the engine and said: "The current mini is a 1.5T three-cylinder and 2.0T four-cylinder engine, the 2.0T engine power is quite strong, and this 2011 CLUBMAN is still matched with the prince series engine cooperated by BMW and PSA, 1.6L self-priming and 1.6T supercharged engine, both four-cylinder ......"

After saying the sentence "The prince series engine cooperated by BMW and PSA", Fang Yuan deliberately paused for a few seconds, his eyes swept over the four salesmen of Zhenghong Auto Dealership plus the customer Zhang Bo, observing their situation, which can be regarded as a thorough test for employees.

It is a pity that among the five people, only Wang Hu and Xu Hong showed a knowing smile after hearing the words "BMW", "PSA" and "cooperation", but Zhao Daming and Song Wei did not have any reaction.

The customer Zhang Bo kept staring at Fang Yuan, and after noticing that something was wrong, he pointed at Wang Hu and Xu Hong and asked Fang Yuan in confusion: "What are they laughing at?"

Fang Yuan sighed that not all salesmen are proficient in automobile knowledge, and then told Zhang Bo: "BMW and PSA, two engines that burn engine oil and leak oil, you should be optimistic about oil and water in the future." ”

Fang Yuan had already explained it very clearly, but Zhang Bo was still a little puzzled: "What is PSA?"

Because Fang Yuan was only secretly assessing and saving face for Song Wei and Zhao Daming, the two of them did not feel ashamed.

Fang Yuan explained: "Peugeot and Citroen merged in 1976 to form the PSA Group, which has five major car brands: Peugeot, Citroen, DS, Opel, and Vauxhall, so in many cases, it is not Peugeot or Citroen alone, but PSA Group. ”

"Yes, PSA is a consolidated automotive group. In order to show his presence in front of Fang Yuan, Wang Hu continued, "There is also a Nissan, Renault, Mitsubishi Motors Alliance, some time ago the chairman of the alliance, Nissan's CEO Ghosn was arrested and imprisoned, was rescued by his wife from the three-layer surveillance, and then escaped from Japan by private jet without a passport, which made the Japanese police lose face, and Interpol has issued a red notice for Ghosn." ”

"So awesome?" Zhang Bo didn't know Wang Hu's intentions, but was attracted by the ups and downs of the plot, like a Hollywood blockbuster.

"We're here to buy a car, can we discuss it later?" Song Wei hurriedly asked Zhang Bo not to divert his attention.

"The engine of this car is a 1.6L self-aspirated version, with a maximum horsepower of 120, a maximum power of 88, and a maximum torque of 160, and it also has a low-power version, which has a maximum power of 72 and a maximum torque of 153. ”

Fang Yuan believes that from the data, this engine is not strong, and it is basically the same level as the Volkswagen 1.6-liter self-priming engine of that year.

But in terms of actual driving experience, the tuning of the whole set of power is also quite aggressive, and the torque of 160 Nm is not slow at the beginning, and it is still very fierce, but it is not good in the middle and late stages, but there is no problem with daily travel.

This prince engine is a high-revving engine, so if you want to drive comfortably, you have to rev more than 2,000 rpm, otherwise you won't be able to play at the level of power.
