In the 20 years when urban SUVs shine, it seems that everyone has gradually realized that it is still impossible to really do dirty work without girders for a long time. Just like Land Rover's Discovery 5, after the design of the girder was cancelled, it was like "the backbone was removed" and lost its soul. On the contrary, let the predecessors with girders find that 4 has begun to appreciate in the used car market.
This kind of car with girders is often synonymous with "off-road, tough guy and reliable". Therefore, today we will talk about the hard-core SUV with a budget of 300,000, which is both strong off-road and wild.
Fun choice: Suzuki Jimny
Every man has a "square box" in his heart. Whether it's a Mercedes-Benz G-Class or a Land Rover Defender, these square-looking guys prove with traces left by history that this is what an off-road vehicle should look like. Just looking at its price of more than one million at a time, I always feel that we ordinary consumers are worlds apart.
But there are always exceptions. For example, in the Japanese K-car culture model, an SUV with a non-load-bearing hard-core body structure has always been favored by cross-country people. It not only has a strong off-road capability beyond appearance, but also has a much more grounded price than Mercedes-Benz G, which is Suzuki Jimny.
After Suzuki announced his withdrawal from the China market, Jimny ushered in a new generation. Unfortunately, this car has no chance to meet domestic consumers. After changing the slightly cute appearance of the previous generation, the new Jimny returned to the square appearance of the second-generation model, and with the big round lamp similar to Mercedes-Benz G-class, this Japanese car, which has always been known as "Baby G", became tough again.
Of course, apart from her tough appearance, Jim Nicole has a lot to say, and this time it will not be emotional and historical.
Although Jimny's body is small, the layout of its two doors is destined to be inconsistent with the eight characters of urban daily vehicles. The old 1.3L engine, which was extremely uncomfortable to drive on urban roads, was also lost on the brand-new Jimny and replaced with a brand-new 1.5L engine. The maximum output is also increased from 85/ 1 100 Nm to 102/130? Niumi Although there is not much improvement in parameters, it is definitely the best for Suzuki.
Jimny, which still retains the non-loaded hard-core vehicle structure, has only 65,438+002 horsepower, but it can realize the function of low-speed torque amplification through a part-time 4wd transfer case, and with a narrow body, it is very suitable for crossing under extreme road conditions. With a wheelbase of 2250mm, you don't have to worry about being trapped by any "cannonball pit", but Jimny, who is almost indestructible, is born to be off-road.
Quote of parallel imported car dealers
However, after Suzuki withdrew from the China market, if domestic consumers want to buy a brand-new Jimny, they can only import it through parallel channels. At present, its price of nearly 300 thousand is really a bit excessive. You know, in Japan, the price of Jimny's entry-level version is less than 6.5438+0.5 million yen, which translates into less than 6.5438+0.5 million yuan.
In fact, I recommend that you spend 65,438+10,000 yuan on a second-hand old Jimny, and the remaining 200,000 yuan on ribs. Isn't it delicious?
Bobcats: Mitsubishi Pajero Jinchang
The 90' s was the most glorious period of Mitsubishi Motors and Japanese high-performance cars, and many people's familiarity with Mitsubishi brand began with this car Pajero. In the Dakar Rally, Pajero was almost invincible. In the domestic market, this powerful off-road vehicle called "Bobcat" has become the favorite of many off-road vehicle owners, and its high price has also given it a symbol of "identity".
With the development of the times, this aura of Pajero has been taken away by Toyota Prado next door, and Pajero, who is "senile", has not escaped the fate of stopping production. Although imported Pajero is still on sale, its modeling and outdated technology are indeed somewhat backward, and the only thing that makes people relish is its super-selected four-wheel drive system.
However, as Pajero's younger brother, Pajero has undergone a modern transformation, and his appearance has been replaced by Mitsubishi's latest family-style design. Compared with the old models, the new Pajero is much more exquisite and fashionable, and it has the feeling of gradually moving closer to the urban SUV, but under its "small fresh meat" appearance, it still hides the strength of a tough guy.
3.0L with code 6B3 1? The maximum horsepower of V6 engine is only 209 horsepower, and the peak torque is 29 1 nm. However, in this era of small-displacement supercharged engines, such performance is absolutely confident and can also have a say in off-road circles.
In addition, Pajero Jinchang is also equipped with Mitsubishi's super-selected four-wheel drive system. Even if it is not called "Bobcat", its cross-country ability should not be underestimated. This four-wheel drive system can be regarded as the strongest system in the cross-country circle. Not only are there more modes, but the performance of low-speed four-wheel drive and high-speed four-wheel drive, which are most valued in off-road, is very strong. It's a pity that Pajero Jinchang didn't provide vehicles meeting the "National Six" emission standards.
With the production stoppage of domestic Pajero, Pajero Jinchang, with a price of 279,800 yuan, became the only one with strong off-road capability, 3.0L? V6 engine, hard-core non-loaded SUV.
Little Toure: Nissan Tuda
People who like off-road or pay close attention to hard-core SUVs will definitely remember Nissan paladin, which only exists in the memory of off-road enthusiasts after the suspension of production in 20 16. However, just last year, Zhengzhou Nissan launched a brand-new hard-core SUV-Tuda, non-loaded body structure and part-time 4wd system, which made consumers see the shadow of paladin in those days.
Nissan Tuda not only has the price range of 654.38+069.8 million-248.3 million yuan, but also has a set of hard-core equipment such as low-speed four-wheel drive, rear differential lock, front double wishbone and rear integral axle suspension, as well as a part-time four-wheel drive system and non-loaded body structure. Therefore, there is no need to worry about the off-road performance of Tuda, and it is its strength to deal with all kinds of unpaved roads in the wild.
Like the previous two competitors, the book data of this 2.5L naturally aspirated engine carried by Tuda is also flat, with a maximum horsepower 193 horsepower and a peak torque of 25 1 Nm. However, in the low-speed four-wheel drive mode, its torque will be amplified by 2.7 times. With the tooth-embedded rear axle differential and B-LSD electronic brake differential lock, the road in off-road state has made a qualitative leap.
Of course, Tuda's rear wheel drum brake is a disgusting groove. Although the braking force of the drum brake is better than that of the disc brake, the heat attenuation of the drum brake is too serious, so it is necessary to use the brake frequently when off-road, so the drum brake is really not a good choice.
Having said that, the biggest selling point of Tuda is cost performance. Owning a hard-core off-road vehicle doesn't cost 400,000 or 500,000. More importantly, in today's market environment, fewer and fewer car manufacturers are willing to launch this type of car like TODA, and the basic products on the market are "old faces" many years ago, so the appearance of Nissan TODA also gives consumers a brand-new choice.
As for the reliability of the whole vehicle, Tuda, which was listed only last year, has not experienced the test of time, but it has the genes of Nissan and the reputation accumulated by paladin for many years. I believe it will not disappoint people.
Write it at the end
The significance of the existence of hard-core SUV is that it can let us go further and see deeper secrets. In the face of high-intensity off-road sections and the "destruction" of cars on unpaved roads for a long time, it is difficult for ordinary family cars to bear this responsibility, and at this time a hard-core SUV is needed. If you had to choose such a car to accompany you through a difficult journey, which one would you choose?
