Chapter 345: Steady as an Old Dog (Ask for Subscription)

This Citroen C5 does have many advantages, and Fang Yuan believes that the biggest highlight among the many advantages is its chassis.

How about the chassis, one looks at the tuning, and the other looks at the materials.

Fang Yuan, who was standing next to the car door, in order to let Boss Li and Lao Hu understand it in more detail, also compared the Volkswagen Suteng chassis that Lao Hu just said.

"Citroen C5 is a B-class car, Volkswagen Sutar is an A-class car, it's a bit of a bully to compare a compact car with a mid-size car, right?" Lao Hu felt that although the price of the two was about the same, Citroen C was a model similar to the Audi A4L and Volkswagen Passat after all, which he thought was unfair.

"Lao Hu, don't underestimate the Volkswagen Suteng. Boss Li is very familiar with Japanese cars and German cars, and disagrees with Lao Hu's opinion very much, "The chassis of German cars has always been outstanding, and the Volkswagen new Sutar and Volkswagen Passat both belong to the MQB platform, and they are similar to the Passat in terms of chassis flatness, materials, structural design, etc., which is very good." ”

Boss Li nodded at the German car door clear, Fang Yuan nodded and agreed with his statement: "Even if Volkswagen is seriously simplified, after all, it is an international manufacturer, and it is still unambiguous in terms of basic technology. ”

"But ......" Lao Hu opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he was stopped by Boss Li in the middle of his words, motioning for him to listen to Fang Yuan's explanation.

"In fact, in terms of materials and part of the structural design, the new Volkswagen Sutar and this Citroen C5 are similar. "Since there is no way to see the actual situation of the chassis, Fang Yuan can only use data for comparison.

Both are front MacPherson independent suspension, rear multi-link independent suspension, front and rear swing arms are made of single-layer stamped steel plate, both are cast iron front knuckles, aluminum alloy rear knuckles......

Fang Yuan enumerated the various parts of the chassis from the front to the back, and as he gave a detailed introduction, Boss Li kept nodding in agreement, and while looking at him in amazement.

The current situation is different from the student's full review for the exam, Fang Yuan did not make a mistake in the name of a part without any preparation, all kinds of detailed data, and rigorous structural comparison, he said casually that he had been in the second-hand car industry for so many years, and he thought that he could not do it at all.

The more relaxed Fang Yuan's introduction, the more incredible Boss Li felt.

Boss Li glanced at Lao Hu, who was sitting next to him with a confused face, couldn't help but get out of the car, walked quickly past the back of the car, and walked to Fang Yuan's side, just to be able to hear more clearly.

"Volkswagen's new Sutar and Citroen C5 have roughly the same chassis materials and structural design, but the details are different. Fang Yuan said that Citroen C5 did put a lot of thought into some details.

For example, Citroen C5 has added structural reinforcements in many places where the chassis and the bottom of the body are connected, the process is not complicated, and the materials are not much, but it is really conducive to improving the overall rigidity of the body.

For example, the end of the lower swing arm connected to the body uses an aluminum alloy hydraulic bushing instead of the ordinary rubber bushing commonly used in other models.

Because this aluminum alloy hydraulic bushing uses a built-in hydraulic oil circuit to cushion it, it is more effective in dealing with various frequencies of vibration from the wheel end than ordinary rubber bushings.

For example, the front subframe of the Citroen C5 is cleverly designed into an H-shape, which is better than the one-piece front subframe of Volkswagen's new Sutar.

......

"So many details are different?" After Fang Yuan compared the materials and structural design of the two, Lao Hu had a deeper understanding of the two cars, but he didn't think they were roughly the same, but there was such a big difference in some inconspicuous parts, "Is there any benefit?"

"Of course, there are many benefits, and the stability and comfort of the Citroen C5 chassis are stronger than those of the Volkswagen new Suteng. ”

After introducing the materials and structural design, Fang Yuan went on to talk about chassis tuning.

Fang Yuan believes that in terms of chassis tuning, BMW is a master, and Citroen is also not bad.

The Citroen C5 chassis has a strong overall sense of stability, good stability, outstanding elasticity and toughness of the front and rear suspension, and a great filtering effect on fine road surfaces.

Resilient on the road, vibrations from the chassis are always minimized by the excellent architecture of the Citroën C5 chassis, whether in corners or straights.

In the case of high-speed driving, the Citroen C5's strong chassis can keep the body stable and not fluttering.

In the event of emergency braking, high-speed merging and other conditions, the Citroen C5 chassis is also very compact and powerful to support the body.

When crossing the ditch and crossing the hurdle, the rebound speed of the suspension is very fast, there is no excess bounce, even if it is over the speed bump at high speed, the whole vehicle appears very tight and not loose.

As soon as the wheels cross the obstacle, the body stabilizes and thus avoids the safety hazards that a strong impact can cause to the driver.

In addition, the Citroen C5 is the best at suppressing unwanted vibrations or swaying of the body, and there will never be a situation where the front and rear rows are comfortable and bumpy at the same time.

"I kind of understand, Citroen C5 as a B-class car, its body size is large, the body is heavy, the suspension system has good support for the body, even if the tuning is more comfortable, it can ensure high-speed stability. Fang Yuan introduced in great detail, Boss Li understood the characteristics of Citroen C5, as a car dealer familiar with the German system, he added, "Volkswagen new Sutar also in order to obtain high-speed stability, its chassis is lighter and harder." ”

"Boss Li, what you said is very right, the Volkswagen new Sutar is indeed inferior to the Citroen C5 in terms of comfort." It's easy to talk about cars with your peers, and you don't have to bother to explain all kinds of strange problems, especially Boss Li.

As the saying goes, there are fewer than a thousand cups of wine for a confidant, Boss Li and Fang Yuan chatted very hilariously, and they felt like they were at home at first sight.

Boss Li smiled and took out his business card holder, took out a pair of hands and handed it to Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan looked at the delicate golden business card in front of him, hurriedly took it with both hands, lowered his head and whispered: "Li Lezhi, Friendship Car Dealership." ”

In fact, when he saw Li Lezhi, Fang Yuan should have exchanged business cards with him, but at that time, Li Lezhi didn't seem to like to talk, he was the most dull of the four, and he didn't show that he had a deep friendship with Fang Yuan.

At that time, Lin Chenglong just briefly introduced the two parties to each other, and Fang Yuan also thought about taking the initiative to hand over the business card, because he was too busy to forget about it.

Immediately afterwards, Fang Yuan took out his business card holder and handed it to Li Lezhi with very polite hands, and at the same time did not snub Lao Hu.

"I know that a model with a good chassis must have good handling, and the handling of this Citroen C5 should be great. Li Lezhi was obviously very interested in this Citroen C5 and inquired more carefully.

Fang Yuan replied without hesitation: "The handling performance is definitely first-class. ”

"Huh?" Lao Hu and Li Lezhi were stunned at the same time, they had been in contact with Fang Yuan for so long, and they could see that even though the young man in front of him was young, he was steady and not impetuous, Fang Yuan actually rated the handling of this Citroen C5 so highly, which surprised the two of them.

"Citroen C5 has a very light steering force at low and medium speeds, which is suitable for delicate and delicate little beauties to easily control in the city, especially when steering at low speed and parking is more convenient. However, Fang Yuan said that while its steering force is light at medium and low speeds, the directivity of the steering wheel is still quite good, and it is very flexible to point wherever you want.

At high speeds, the steering damping increases with speed, so high-speed stability is good.

In order to prove that he was not bragging, Fang Yuan told Li Lezhi and Lao Hu that Citroen's model had a fairly good performance in the Elk test, and its performance was among the best in terms of direction accuracy, body stability, and attitude control.

So even if the owner drives more violently, he doesn't like to slow down when cornering, and he likes to feel like accelerating and drifting all the time.

The Citroen C5, which is as stable as an old dog, can let the owner enjoy the hearty pleasure when the car is cornering.
