The biggest difference between pickup and micro-card is the use. Picado, as a family car, pulling goods is only an additional attribute, while the mini-truck belongs to a real tool car. From the design point of view, the body proportions of Wuling Tour and Rongguang New Card are very similar, that is to say, the Tour is not like a pickup truck, but a micro-truck with more decorative elements. In order to meet the needs of young people, Wuling designed different body colors for the journey, including wild fairy tales and frozen Ryukyu.
Although the overall outline of the two cars is similar, the chassis structure is quite different. Although both cars adopt a load-bearing body structure, the new Wuling Glory truck is more non-load-bearing and uses two reinforcing beams. Relatively speaking, the torsional rigidity of the journey is poor. When driving on rough roads, the road undulation will slightly distort the whole frame. Due to the poor torsional stiffness, the frame will even be irreversibly deformed and twisted when it is fully loaded with goods, and the safety of the vehicle cannot be guaranteed under the action of metal fatigue. Therefore, Wuling's trip to pull goods is just a gimmick, which is only suitable for pulling some lighter items, and is not suitable for heavy loading on rough unpaved roads. Wuling Glory's crossbeam can reinforce the car body and is more suitable for pulling goods.
Dynamic size comparison
In terms of power, at present, two models of Wuling Zhengtu are equipped with 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, and the pre-sale starting price is 59,800 yuan, while the new Wuling Glory truck with a price of 56,800 yuan is equipped with 1.8L naturally aspirated engine. The 1.5L engine of Zhengtu is code-named LAR, which belongs to the same model as that of Hong Guang. It is improved from L2B engine and produced in Yantai Shanghai GM Dongyue Automobile Power Company. Power is quite satisfactory, with stability as the main research and development direction, and there is no special new technology. The 1.8L engine of Rongguang Xinka is code-named LJ479Q6, which is produced by liuzhou wuling Liuji Power Co., Ltd., and can be said to be a real Wuling engine. Technically, a single variable valve timing is adopted, and due to the displacement, the power output and peak torque are stronger than those of the 1.5L engine of Zhengtu.
In terms of dimensions, from the comparison of tables, the new Wuling Glory truck is 100mm wider, 1 15mm longer and 90mm higher than Zhengtu, and the new Wuling Glory truck is larger than Zhengtu. For the suspension part, both cars have chosen the same front McPherson and leaf spring integral bridge design. Combining power and frame, the cargo capacity of Rongguang new truck is far stronger than that of Zhengtu pickup truck.
Configuration and security comparison
In terms of configuration, the basic safety equipment of Journey is stronger than that of Rongguang New Card, including the main driver's airbag, the main driver's seat belt not reminded, and the rear parking radar. At the price of 3000 yuan, the improvement of safety configuration is not obvious when the power and frame are worse. The front double airbags should be the basic configuration of a 60,000-yuan car. Other unique configurations of Journey include manual up-and-down adjustment of steering wheel, front-and-rear adjustment of co-pilot seat, 4-speaker stereo and electric adjustment of rearview mirror. It is suggested that Wuling equip this "car for young people" with more entertainment and safety equipment, such as the interconnection of Apple Carplay and Baidu Carlife as standard, double airbags in the front row, and central control touch screen.
