Chapter 052: Crocktanker

The four of them were five or six meters away from the crockpot, but Sun Yanming didn't say what kind of car he was, he just looked at Fang Yuan with a smile, obviously to test him.

Fang Yuan drank six or seven taels of liquor, his body shook, his head was not confused, and he saw the Indian-like head-like logo on the front of the car at a glance.

The entire front face is centered on the circular car logo, and the lines of the upper cabin canopy extend to both sides, and the shape is simple and atmospheric.

Below is a flat waterfall grille, which occupies a large area, and it looks majestic, even a little Rolls-Royce grille, but the momentum is much weaker.

Different from the mainstream integrated headlights, the headlights of this car have a novel and unique design, which is divided into two halves, and the internal lights are closely connected to the grille, producing an integrated visual effect and showing the wide front of the car.

The front lip at the bottom is divided into three sections, and the hollowed-out chrome rectangular shape is very conspicuous and recognizable.

Just seeing this, Fang Yuan has already judged that this is a Skoda Octavia touring version, and according to the shape of the headlights, it can even be determined that it is a domestic version, not an imported Octavia crockpot.

Fang Yuan didn't say it immediately, but went around to the side.

Shiny five-spoke chrome wheels, a standard roof rack, a powerful waistline, an elegant skirtline that runs from the front to the rear, a three-dimensional body surface, and crystal-cut lines that create a sporty touring icon silhouette that visually appeals.

The 280TSI logo on the rear of the car further confirmed Fang Yuan's judgment just now, and then the result was said: "This is a 2018 TSI280 DSG Octavia Travel. ”

"Yes, you're right, this is the Skoda Octavia 1.4T luxury version. Sun Yanming nodded, very satisfied with Fang Yuan's judgment.

Being praised by Sun Yanming, Fang Yuan didn't show any excitement, but hesitated for a moment and asked, "Manager Sun, why didn't you buy the imported Octavia Travel Edition?"

"There are so few imported cars that I can't find them. Sun Yanming stared at his car, obviously satisfied.

"Why do you want to buy an imported Octavia station wagon?" Xu Hong and Liu Liang were a little confused, not understanding what is the difference between domestic and imported ones?

"The length, width and height of the imported Octavia travel version are 4659 mm, 1814 mm and 1463 mm respectively.

The length, width and height of the domestic Octavia travel version are 4687 mm, 1814 mm, 1509 mm, there is not much difference in the data, but their wheelbase is 2686 mm, and the curb weight is that the imported Octavia travel version is heavier than the domestic Octavia travel version 120 kg. ”

Fang Yuan explained to Liu Liang and Xu Hong that the biggest difference between the imported Octavia travel version and the domestic Octavia travel version is in the power system.

The imported Octavia travel version is a front-mounted full-time four-wheel drive, and the domestic Octavia travel version is a front-wheel drive, and their accessories are naturally not universal.

The latest imported Octavia travel version is the 2015 model, using the third-generation EA888 1.8T engine, matched with a six-speed wet dual-clutch gearbox, with a maximum torque of 280 Nm, a maximum horsepower of 180 horsepower, 000 acceleration in 7.5 seconds, and a comprehensive fuel consumption of about 10 liters.

The latest domestic Octavia travel version is the 2019 model, Sun Yanming's 2018 domestic Octavia travel has two EA211 engines, 1.2T tail mark 230TSI and 1.4T tail mark 280TSI, matched with a seven-speed dry dual-clutch gearbox.

The maximum torque is 200 Nm and 250 Nm, the maximum horsepower is 116 hp and 150 hp respectively, the 1.4T 000 acceleration is 8.7 seconds, and the comprehensive fuel consumption is about 7L.

Listening to Fang Yuan's explanation, Liu Liang and Xu Hong didn't care, the maximum torque was 30 Nm, the maximum horsepower was 30 horses, and the 000 acceleration was only 1.2 seconds, but the domestic Octavia travel version was fuel-efficient, but they thought that the domestic one was good.

The two of you individually interrupted Fang Yuan and asked him to continue. Hearing Fang Yuan's comparative data, Sun Yanming realized something, asked Fang Yuan to leave these two mallets alone, and continued.

"You don't understand the soul of the crockpot. Fang Yuan smiled, he understood that Liu Liang and Xu Hong didn't know why there was such a model as a station wagon, so Fang Yuan didn't continue to compare, but gave Liu Liang and Xu Hong a start to popularize science about what a station wagon.

The station wagon is a kind of sedan derivative model derived from the trend of human beings advocating nature and keen on tourism.

Compared with SUVs and MPVs, it has a lower purchase price and use cost, and has a more agile body, which is more comfortable, easy to drive and park, so it plays an important role in the lives of people in economically developed countries, especially in Europe.

People in Europe like to take their families with them on holidays, drive station wagons, and travel long distances together, sometimes reaching hundreds of kilometers.

Therefore, the station wagon must be durable, large enough, comfortable to ride, strong power, and most importantly, it must have the function of four-wheel drive mild off-road, coping with rain and snow and slippery roads, in order to carry sufficient travel equipment for long journeys.

At the same time, it is also very suitable for business purposes in everyday urban life.

"Durable leather, large space, comfortable ride, strong power, and four-wheel drive mild off-road function is the soul of the crockpot. ”

In addition, the imported Octavia Travel not only has a full-time four-wheel drive system, but also a multi-plate clutch, a MacPherson independent suspension in the front, and a multi-link independent suspension in the rear.

The domestic Octavia travel front wheel MacPherson independent suspension, the back is simply equipped with a torsion beam non-independent suspension, not to mention the full-time four-wheel drive, multi-plate clutch, although the fuel consumption is lower than the imported Octavia station wagon, but there is no advantage of the station wagon at all.

As for what Liu Liang and Xu Hong said about only 1.2 seconds faster, Fang Yuan told them that the car that accelerates faster at 100 kilometers is safer when overtaking, and it is also safer when merging, and if it takes 1.2 seconds more to accelerate, then the dangerous time is 1.2 seconds more, which is very dangerous in long-distance travel.

"I see. Liu Liang and Xu Hong finally know what kind of car model is a real crockpot, not just the appearance is so simple.

"Station wagons don't sell well in China, and many people don't recognize this model.

People who want a model with a lot of space would rather buy an SUV, or an MPV, than think of a station wagon.

However, station wagons are a very popular model in Europe, so station wagons are of various car brands in Europe

For example, the suit thug Audi RS6 is equipped with a 4.0T560 hp twin-turbo engine, with Audi's proud Quattro four-wheel drive system, which breaks 100 in 3.9 seconds, whether it is durable, speed, comfort, loading capacity, and appearance are the model of station wagons. Fang Yuan said with a smile that it is the Chinese people who do not recognize the crockpot truck, which has caused the value retention rate of any brand of crockpot truck to be low (with the exception of Volkswagen R36), and you can buy a good car with a super high price-to-price ratio for very little money.

"Yes, my Octavia 2018 station wagon TSI280DSG luxury version, which was licensed in September 2018, with a mileage of 23,000 kilometers, and the seller landed 179,000 at that time, and I only spent 110,000 to buy it. Sun Yanming quoted the price when he bought it, and suddenly thought that he was off-topic by these two kids, and hurriedly asked Fang Yuan to continue.
