AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)05/26 Report--

On May 25, BAIC officially unveiled four new cars at the off-road base in Yixian County, Tongzhou, Beijing. The four new cars are BAIC Warriors three-door short wheelbase version, Warriors double row pickup 3350 wheelbase version, Ruiling 3350 wheelbase version and BAIC 3350 new chassis version. Let's talk about the two modified models of the Warriors.

The new Warriors three-door short-axle (gasoline) version uses a three-door short-axle design, which is shorter in body size and structure than conventional Warriors models, and the compact body with a 2.4-meter wheelbase gives the model a better approach and departure angle. The power side is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine with a six-speed gearbox and a time-sharing all-wheel drive system.

What we can still see from the Warriors is the angular design, giving people the impression of a tough guy. What still catches people's eyes is the big crash fence that replaces the bumper. Halogen headlamps are still used in the front light source, and headlights, fog lights and turn signals are integrated in the first-class position. The intuitive impression of the car body is the style of a large box, which does not use too many lines to decorate the side, and the side of the car is still straight to the rear, perhaps because there is a row of obvious screws in order to make the car more maintainable. There is a full-size spare tire at the rear door.

But from the interior of the car, it looks as if we are sitting on a time machine and going back to more than 20 years ago, we saw that the car was gray and black, and the central control position made people feel like they were sitting in a commercial vehicle. All of them are made of hard plastic, which makes people feel cheap. The position of the center console also has the air conditioning switch of the manual button and the air conditioning of manual provocation, while the obvious splicing gap can be seen in the conspicuous position in the car, while the interior of the cab can be seen fixed with screws. A ring of sealing tape can be seen in both the window and the windshield, which is reminiscent of the process that commercial vehicles used more than 10 years ago can still be seen in 2019 of BAIC Warriors.

The seats in the rear seats are believed to be for emergency use, because the rear seats are not reserved for manned design and armrests, and the comfort provided by the two seats is limited.

The Warriors double-row pick-up truck uses a split double-row design, and the wheelbase of the 3350mm is similar to that of the split single-row car. The biggest change is the addition of the second row of seats, resulting in a longer split car. In the front, rear and interior parts, there is no significant difference between the new car and the model on sale. In addition, the wheelbase of the new car has also reached 3350mm, an increase of 315mm compared to split single-row models. On the power side, the 2.8T diesel engine is equipped with a six-speed manual transmission and time-sharing all-wheel-drive system, with a maximum horsepower output of 108hp and a peak torque of 220nm. The interior does not complain too much. Like the former, the stitching is rough and all hard plastic seems to be the Warriors'"family tradition".

And the seat space of the second row seems to have a big gap compared with the current common Great Wall Fengjun 6 or Navarra. It is estimated that the leg space of the passengers in the back row is less than one punch, and there is no air-conditioned air outlet in the back row. It will be a chore for a long-distance ride. The only advantage is that the model has the longest and deepest warehouse space, but the design of the cargo door does not use the internationally popular double-open design, which is relatively inconvenient for loading large pieces or unloading goods.

In a word, the new car is the same as the warrior specifications used by the army five years ago, and it is not ergonomically optimized for civilian use or adjusted for civilian use. Most of the friends who like this car are for the feeling of having a military color to this car.
