Because all our test drives are 2.0T top models, we will not compare the specific configuration this time, only talking about power and off-road performance. ?
▲ Tank 300?
▲BJ40
Highway driving
According to the book data, Tank 300 and BJ40 are also equipped with 2.0T engines, which are also ZF's 8-speed automatic manual transmission, but the power gap is very small and almost negligible. So, what's the difference between these two cars? ?
Let's start with tank 300. First, the engine of the tank 300 can generate 227 horsepower. Dragging this two-ton car in the city is not surging, but it is enough. I'm not sure if it's the fitting. When the tank 300 I drove started, there was a situation where I stepped on the accelerator too little and didn't walk, and I stepped on it too much and suddenly jumped forward. Simply put, the throttle is not linear and the fuel consumption is not low.
Readers who are interested in this can focus on whether there is still the problem of "throttle jumping" when testing drive in 4S stores. Maybe this problem has been solved after mass production.
Secondly, the overall ride comfort of this 8-speed automatic manual transmission is good. But it can't be required in the way of ordinary family cars in the past. After all, it is very self-respecting. Even if the floor oil is in the end, it won't make you feel that someone is "kicking you" behind your back.
The sense of steering has a certain virtual position. After all, it is not an SUV that focuses on manipulation and sports. The advantage of this setting is that it can make more novices get started easily. In addition, it is commendable that the sound insulation performance of the tank 300 should be the best among the hard-core off-road vehicles of about 200,000. Although the door is not equipped with a double-decker sound insulation glass, it runs smoothly at high speed, and there is basically no noise in the car. And our test drive version is also equipped with AT tires (original modified parts). In this case, the sound insulation performance is satisfactory, almost reaching the level of a 200,000-class urban SUV.
Let's talk about BJ40 again. In fact, before I experienced this car, I was biased against it, because from the static feeling, the interior of this car is rough. I always judge a book by its cover, and I don't have much hope for its driving. Sure enough, when I sat in the driver's seat and adjusted the angle of the steering wheel, I found that the steering wheel of this hard-core off-road vehicle with a price of 654.38+0.8 million only supported up and down adjustment. Of course, many old cross-country guns may not care about this, just say driving.
BJ40 is also equipped with a 2.0T engine, which is also ZF's 8-speed automatic manual transmission. The engine provided by the Great Wall has a maximum horsepower of 224 HP and a maximum torque of 380 Nm, which is the same as that of the tank 300. So there is no need to worry about motivation at all, and so is the actual performance. This engine is well matched on BJ40, and the throttle is relatively close to the ground, so there will be no feeling that the oil is too small to go and the oil is too big to escape. The maturity of power matching at low speed is better than that of tank 300.
When driving in urban areas, the engine will always maintain the speed of 1700- 1800 rpm, and the overall power output is still linear, but if you want to overtake the floor oil at this time, you may have to wait about 1 second, because its turbine lag is really serious. Besides, the sound insulation inside the car is better than I thought. I thought that the detachable roof would bring annoying wind dryness to the car, but the actual experience was actually good and the noise was within the acceptable range. It's just that the test drive was changed at the tire, so the road noise is a bit loud.
ZF's 8-speed automatic manual transmission works hard, and you can hardly feel its existence in daily driving. But the engine speed is a bit slow, especially when stepping on the accelerator to accelerate, you will find that its engine speed is the same as the ECO mode of many cars, and it is not in a hurry. Even if the gearbox has been downshifted to ensure power output, it will still feel that the speed rises slowly, which makes people a little anxious. ?
The steering force of BJ40 is not heavy, but it is not as textured as the tank 300. In addition, it has been said before that there is a certain virtual position in the steering of the tank 300, and the virtual position in the steering of the BJ40 is even larger. But then again, it is normal for hard-core off-road vehicles to have virtual steering positions. After all, when crossing outdoors, a slightly lagging steering sense can improve the off-road fault tolerance rate.
Moreover, the sales of BJ40 show that the chassis of this car has been adjusted and improved for road comfort. Although it is quite comfortable to sit in the car when crossing the ditch on the road, the sense of advanced is obviously not as good as that of tank 300. For example, when passing through a bumpy road, the impact on the tire and chassis is very obvious, and the suspension as a whole becomes hard, so the overall feeling is very direct and pure. It can be seen that BJ40 and tank 300 have completely different personalities. The comfort of BJ40 in road driving is not as good as that of tank 300. But the road sense is clearer than the tank 300.
Outdoor cross-country
Tank 300 is richer and BJ40 is purer.
When the 300 tank was first listed, the manufacturer claimed that it was equipped with three locks, but the middle lock attracted many questions from the old off-road gun. Everyone thinks that the so-called "middle one" is not a lock. We also explained to you before that the lock in the middle of the tank 300 is simply the four-wheel drive transfer case in the middle. After hanging into the four-wheel drive, the front and rear axles form a hard connection. The manufacturer's statement is that this hard connection is "equivalent to a lock". Together with the front and rear Eton locks, the tank 300 is called the "three locks". But to be honest, it can only be counted as two locks, and it is two electronic locks.
Tank 300 is also equipped with tank turn-around and low-speed crawling mode. At the same time, it also has active suspension, electronically controlled shock absorber and other configurations, which really makes people shine. The approach angle is 33, the departure angle is 34, the longitudinal passing angle is 23.65438+0, the minimum ground clearance is 224mm, the maximum climbing degree is 70%, and the original wading depth is 700 mm In the off-road process, the road conditions can be observed in real time through the camera outside the car.
Moreover, it is worth mentioning that there are many original appliances in the tank 300, and all operations can be completed by buttons in the car, which improves Xiaobai's ability to control hard-core off-road vehicles. However, the "old guns" who play cross-country know that the environment is harsh under cross-country conditions, and the parts often work continuously under extreme conditions. So who can guarantee the reliability and failure rate of complex electrical mechanisms in harsh environments? Moreover, during the test drive organized by the manufacturer, there was a gearbox failure in this test car. ?
On the other hand, BJ40 has basically no other configuration except the electronically controlled four-wheel drive transfer case and the central limited slip differential. The approach angle of the whole vehicle is 37, the departure angle is 365,438+0, the passing angle is 24, and the minimum ground clearance is 220 mm Compared with the tank 300 approach angle, it has certain advantages, large space for later modification and higher overall cost performance. Moreover, the car is also equipped with an anti-roll cage, which improves the survivability under extreme conditions. However, there is still a certain gap between the configuration of BJ40 and the luxurious atmosphere inside the car.
In this regard, the sales consultant said that the newly listed tribute 2020 version of the top model has a front and rear differential lock. For test drive, you can also install off-road configuration, such as rear axle differential lock and winch. For off-road old guns, BJ40 does have many mature modification cases and schemes, which can also give the old guns "pure happiness". Most of the driving-related configurations of BJ40 are hard-wired by mechanical structure. In terms of reliability, the reliability of pure machinery is obviously higher. As for the reliability of the tank 300, it will take time to verify.
『? Finally? 』
Tank 300 and BJ40 are both good hard-core SUVs, but their main consumers are quite different.
Tank 300 won the favor of many off-road white cars with its configuration and face value, and a group of female riders were specially set up when the model went on the market. Let many urban white-collar workers participate in the happiness of cross-country. To put it bluntly, this car is to meet some urban consumers who are interested in off-road but have high requirements on face value, comfort and configuration, and hope to take care of both.
BJ40 is more like a science man in front of tank 300. Although it doesn't have many eye-catching configurations, and its driving comfort and advanced sense are not as good as that of Tank 300, it has been in battle for many years, with a group of loyal users, and its reliability is relatively good, which has gained market recognition.
So the positioning of these two cars is very clear. If you pay attention to configuration and face value, choose tank 300; If you like tossing and going out often, then choose BJ40. After all, the name "same-sex dating artifact" is not for nothing.
