In terms of appearance, the explorer can be regarded as the cross-border design of cars and SUVs, unlike Angkor and Tiguan L, the new generation of explorers introduced the cross-border design style of cars and SUVs, Chevrolet's brand-new family-style front face, tough body lines, C-pillar inherited the classic design of Equinox models, and coated panoramic D-pillar made full use of aerodynamic design principles. Although the appearance is quite individual, it does not conform to the aesthetic concept of China SUV models, and there is still a big gap between Explorer and medium-sized SUVs such as Highlander and Sharp, but it is much larger than compact SUVs such as CR-V, Maverick and Tiguan.
In terms of interior, the explorer did a good job, and this set of interior won the top ten in Ward. In the part of materials used, the explorer's large amount of leather embellishment has created a strong sense of grade, fully demonstrating the noble atmosphere of American models, and the instrument panel and center console are not short of scientific and technological sense, which is completely worthy of this price. In addition, the storage space of this car is relatively rich. It is said that there are 32 places, and all kinds of space are really used. Even a compartment is designed between the spare tire and the trunk floor, and it is no problem to put a few bottles of mineral water in it. It can be said that it has reached the highest level of practicality of American cars.
In the power part, Explorer is divided into two power versions: 1.5T+6AT and 2.0T+9AT. The power of the 1.5T version is already very good. With 6AT gearbox, the power is very smooth, much better than 2.0L RAV4 and Qi Jun, and more reliable than Angkor's dual clutch gearbox. The 2.0T+9AT version is perfect. In daily driving, it is also relatively mild, the power output is relatively smooth, and there is nothing particularly exciting. But only when you step on the accelerator deeply, its power is obviously much more abundant, and the whole vehicle appears lighter, and the acceleration is smooth and direct, which can even bring people a sense of pleasure and enjoy a little push back. In addition, in terms of suspension performance, explorers are also very thick and supportive, and they are more athletic than Japanese cars.
In recent years, Chevrolet has focused on cheap cars in China, and the image of cheap cars has been deeply rooted in the hearts of consumers. Therefore, it really takes a lot of determination to make consumers spend about 200,000 yuan to buy a Chevrolet brand model, so the market of explorers is expected to drop significantly, so explorers will definitely not lay a good foundation for explosive cars until they get a big discount. Over the years, the Chevrolet brand has hardly succeeded in SUV products, and the overall sales volume has declined year after year. Brand power is not enough to support the explorer's high expectations. Nowadays, the terminal discount for explorers has reached 30,000-40,000 yuan, and the government has also given three years of interest-free loans and purchase tax subsidies. The card that focuses on cost performance may be the only way for explorers to recover their decline.
