Since the end of June, the South China region has experienced a period of sustained heavy rain, some cities and counties in the flood emergency, the city observatory issued individual storm "orange alert." Days of heavy rainfall for the major city streets serious water, bring to a serious inconvenience to traffic, traffic accidents are frequent.

The face of cars become indispensable in our daily lives means of transport, frequent heavy rain in the summer weather, what kind of car be considered safe?

Of course, the safety car in the rain is the owner of the first test of the traffic awareness: Attention must be controlled traffic on rainy days good speed and vehicle distance, do not slam the brakes; wading depth must not exceed the engine cover, front bumper if the depth exceeds , driving should be more attention; In addition, the rainy parking must not turn off, once the water will not be able to start the engine; particular attention to the fact that many drivers used to reduce the tire pressure when driving on rainy days to increase the friction, this method is undesirable, it is more likely to cause tire slip ... ...

Rainy road not only requires drivers to have a good rainy day driving experience, but also the safety of car design, configuration, there are many requirements. After all, can not make bricks without straw, if the car itself is the lack of necessary safety devices, then there is nothing the security. So, what kind of car can we guarantee that under normal weather conditions, but also ensure that rain, snow and other extreme weather driving safe? Now, I might take more fire has been sold in the market, but good overall performance - of course I like, - Fox as an example to explore.

First, the rain driving must "fundamentals" of good, because the chassis instability in slippery road surface anti-roll capacity is not good, easy to roll out the accident. As we all know, based on Volvo's safety from the chassis, while Fox uses the same chassis with the Volvo S40, no doubt from the "fundamentals" of the fine on the safety of inherited tradition of Volvo. From the suspension point of view, Fox is more common with McPherson independent front suspension, rear suspension arm with the vertical structure with a horizontal arm, which is an independent suspension, together with the improved coil spring hydraulic type bushings to resolve the traditional McPherson independent front suspension and steering shortage, so that more stable braking curve, which effectively prevent the wet road when cornering points allowed, braking instability and other issues when the body, comprehensively improve the body's anti-roll capability.

Fox's C3P chassis, with the Volvo S40 is the same production platform

Second, the security configuration, such as ABS + EBD, ESP vehicle stability system, even in normal times may not feel it, but on rainy days when their role was more obvious on the show. Like Fox Sports Edition comes standard with the ESP vehicle stability system that can effectively control the cornering when the rear wheel drift prone to the phenomenon, to prevent the body sliding around in the rainy weather, traffic has greatly increased the safety factor.

In addition, the Fox transmission also made enormous strides in its new automated manual transmission features powerful aid put on hold, once the water transmission fails, the gear will be limited to three gears and reverse gear, can provide slow ability to move forward with the back power. Meanwhile, a quick refueling stop, fast release of the accelerator pedal, the transmission will maintain the existing gear, to improve the engine braking force, and also features a downhill manner, removed from the car in the rain "strike" embarrassment.

The Fox advocated the "five elements of security" system, damage control on the safety, security, security from the measure, dangerous road conditions rainy day also played a very good protection. We all know that driving a small impact on rainy days, small friction may occur more than usual, while Fox's use of non-injury to the external body design, front and rear bumpers to withstand 15km / h crash, it will not come to the main structure of the body hurt great extent, can ensure vehicle personnel, and pedestrian safety; even if the collision occurred in a large, high steel cage body can guarantee the integrity of the collision of space around the car, because Fox's interior is absorbable impact force of the polymer, effectively avoiding the rupture due to interior damage caused by people.

We first thought that mid-size car for a recognition of their larger body size and interior space, the traditional mid-size car is always an emphasis in much the United States, stressed that large body size, but ignored the car should carry the spirit and culture, at the expense of advanced automotive technology as a core carrier of the essence, and weakens the interaction between cars and people relations and highlight each other. With the development of the car a deeper understanding of people's cars more demanding on the car, a new generation of elites more concerned about the technology and self-matching, which is no longer a so-called "primitive cart."

As wide of the first mid-size car, front range since listing created continuous hot performance, according to official disclosure will become the Accord front range, the annual output is over 100,000 models. Shanghai Auto Show debut in front of a Changed Fan will win the "most popular award" and the 2009 Motor Show was the "aesthetic Automotive Design Award 2009 (China) • Intermediate Car Award" has aroused the concern of all sectors of society . In today's financial crisis of the year, mid-size car market is fiercely competitive, big companies have the market shift to small cars. The front range was halfway into the medal mid-size car market, Hukouduoshi? Widely this how can emboldened? Feng Fan, how to win the favor of consumers?

The success of a model, simply to have the two conditions, one of course is to perfect its quality, and the other is the impact of market environment. Accord just as then, by virtue of their superior quality, coupled with high-class vehicles at domestic opponents want to create a continuous still invincible champion 19 months sales success.

Fan itself from the front, the new concept of fashion design completely replace the traditional mid-size car design patterns, the outlook is consistent with the new generation of young car owners struggling fashion aesthetic, but also gives the owner a distinct personality and style, with people first sight of the charm. Excellent exterior design, dynamic system of course does not lag behind, Feng Fan with 1.8L
And two 1.5L engine options,. 1.8L engine front range carry the Honda high-performance Ii-VTEC1.8 liter engine, power output was up to 103Kw and 174Nm, strong power and excellent control performance completely broke people's understanding of traditional mid-size car, its powerful the initial acceleration and mid-acceleration reflects the struggle of a new generation of struggling young owners of philosophy, that is, the "one step ahead, step by step ahead" of the competition philosophy and psychology. The use of a large number of advanced technologies designed musical space, perfectly suited the tastes of young, SVC, USB + AUX + ipod music interfaces, 17cm neodymium rare earth magnet speakers, even if it was practical taste. Today, the rising oil prices, fuel economy, front range, comfort and technology-rich configuration embodies the purchase value, also embodies a new generation of struggling young owners on environmental protection, fashion, technology, and pursue careers. Although the front range of the position is as a new generation of mid-size car, the appearance size though, but its tradition of mid-size car is not so huge size, but that can still ensure a comfortable ride enough space or enough space for its comfortable ride, and returned to the people no small surprise. The back of a particularly large space, well beyond the expectations of many people; second, at the same time, 506L rear boot, a lot of space beyond its class, is more economical and practical.

Adversity as wide launch of the Honda mid-size car, front shoulder the important mission scope, but also do have more than that compared with other class-does have the advantage of one-upmanship to complete this mission -

First. To see Sunny get the public to compare with front Fan said. , Two cars in the configuration can be said about equal in terms of the price distribution version of Sunny, low prices lower than the front range of the higher version with about 15 000. In addition, while Sunny's seat design is not quite so reasonable, many fans say that their friends from around the Block, the seat assembly POLO Polo small level, to give people the support leg strength is not enough , take the sense impression is not very comfortable.

Even with the front range to get a new Bora, the new Polaris will not prevail to the previous peak. Although the front range of the wheelbase is relatively small, more compact internal space, but rear leg and head room than the new Bora is large enough for many, was the more comfortable ride. , The front trunk Fan 506L capacity than too far beyond the capacity of the new Bora, the gap between the two as much as big 156L. ! Even if the price of the new Bora, the overall price range than the front is 1 1-2 20 000, but only from the security configuration of view, the new Bora, cost is not high: there is no "BA-brake assist system", nor did The new Bora is not found, the front range of head and neck protection design with interior design, passive safety is far lower than on the front range of new Bora, even in the C-NCAP test to get five-star The new Fit will dwarf the one. As a Japanese car, a big advantage is the front range fuel-efficient, although friends said front range of the size of a small, small tires, light weight, is the key to fuel-efficient, but I personally think that its advanced engine technology combined with a mature manufacturing vehicle technology is the most important core reason, and not entirely because of the so-called issue of body size.

Feng Fan, with its advanced technology, rich configuration and innovative modern design concepts, fully increased its market competitiveness. In addition, as Japanese cars, front range is one of the major advantages of fuel-efficient. Advanced technology combined with its sophisticated design, front range under the same conditions, be able to get a good fuel economy. (The actual fuel consumption of a car, more car with driver habits related) Furthermore, in addition to the high sex drive than the front range to give users "heart" of the purchase value, more emphasis on car and front Fan spirit among the people and vehicles docking and people and cars in the cultural interaction between, not just only give the owner "heart" of the purchase value. This also reflects the essence of a new era of cars and trends, in effect let the car carrying the application of advanced technology and comfortable driving space, instead of this trend, the pure design appeals to much the United States, the "big The empty "car, there is no way to attract the users heart resonance. Full of elan and dynamic front range a timely, indeed caught the mid-size car market, the lifeblood. Feng Fan has its younger more stylish design, control of pleasure, a comfortable cockpit, fuel-efficient performance, will be more young pet owner to recover the objects the user has become a symbol of fashion and good taste. Feng Fan will form a new development direction for mid-size car, mid-size car with much the idea of the United States will also be front Fan subversion, "humble carts" will soon be behind the times.

+ Mid-Autumn Day, the history of the longest holidays of necessity become a "gold 9 silver 10" finale drama. But once the drama ended, merchants in the preferential margin will be different degrees of shrinkage. But this does not mean that a car is not a wise postganglionic thing, in fact, after the holiday is still a lot of advantages of buying a car. For example during long holidays, dealers where customers at his door, many details of what may be asked is not very clear. Coupled with the relatively noisy environment, car payment and relatively more people, so it may just repeating the compulsive consumption. Moreover, during the holidays, tension, and as models like the color a valuable commodity that may be difficult to spot short-term, while the phase of the model after the holiday to continue if diving, Qibushibai Tim trouble?

Money is not a strong wind blowing car, so rational consumer is selected vehicles benevolent. For most people, selected car is price, brand, cost and preservation of these areas. In the post-holiday times, the price factor will become relatively less significant, but the brand, using the cost and preservation of the factors that will be most concerned about.

The brand is no more than that Europe and the United States plus Japan and South Korea made it a few categories. In the joint venture model, the reputation of the best non-European cars must go. This is mainly domestic and European environmental and similar to other serious about doing things with the Europeans. In Europe, models which include not only traditional but also several major European manufacturers of some American brand cars in Europe, such as Changan Ford all models are derived from the Ford of Europe design and planning. Although Japan and South Korea-made models have emphasized the cost-effective, then what kind of vehicle be considered cost-effective high?

To measure the cost, you have to look at a comparison of models selling mid-size car with Fox and Corolla as an example. 1 to 8 this year, month, Fox continued to rise amid sales, from March to August for 6 months sales break million. While the Corolla is sold over 10,000, but compared to the same level of overall sales growth rate, slightly slower. If you only look at the performance of the two vehicles, Fox is a rare car in the WRC event evergreen tree, a number of titles under one roof. Similarly, the performance of the CTCC in domestic competition this year, the highest momentum brightly red, superior handling characteristics Fox won numerous fans of the blitz. The reason, say Fox has a Corolla do not have fully independent rear suspension and front subframe + professional-grade anti-roll bars configuration. This design is very helpful Fox road traffic in a variety of complex precision and cornering stability control, in enhancing the driving pleasure while reducing the risk of accidents. I believe consumers friends all know, Fox is the king of manipulation of well-deserved level. Meanwhile, the Corolla's rear suspension with longitudinal arms are still non-independent torsion beam suspension, that suspension of performance or even compared to an ordinary independent suspension, let alone Fox sophisticated fully independent multi-link rear suspension.

If further contrast to, say, in terms of safety. Fox thick body and rigorous work gives a realistic impression trusted. A number of WRC title winner, naturally should not be underestimated in terms of security. To measure a car's safety, first look at models in Europe and the domestic impact performance, protection of the occupants in the Ford Focus made a good score five stars. Coupled with precise control to bring the lower risk for accidents, no measure of its security value.

Fox's own reputation and high body design is reasonable, plus full use of materials, practical work. This model naturally the most popular second-hand car market, hedge rate is high.

Money is not a strong wind blowing, postganglionic selected vehicles have plenty of time to comparison and choice for consumers is a good thing. Vehicle prices is important, but the quality of the final consumer or car itself. Is precisely because of this, some car although frequent price cuts, sales have been stagnant. The models such as Fox has been able to maintain a stable price band, excellent performance and outstanding value over cost ratio, its popularity has remained good reason.

The biennial Beijing auto show grand opening soon, and many independent brands are attempting to use the this show to launch its own new products. Today is brought to everyone Jianghuai VISION (Vision) IV concept car. This looks similar to the car with the Toyota IQ, entirely by the famous Italian car design company concept and design, rich skinny appearance, the former face images are very beautiful, very distinctive wheel design, making the car look even more lovely, double door design just right, compared with other models, this concept car looks more like an electric car or a new energy vehicles, but there is no specific official information, only the patience to wait for the Beijing auto show.

That we tend to think of SUV Hummer, Land Rover and other international top-level SUV, JEEP perhaps in the country a few years ago the most common SUV models. With the auto industry in recent years to revitalize its own brand, own brand SUV stand out, the most representative than the Great Wall Hover, the well-known model is becoming the mainstream of the domestic SUV market consumer.

SUV since its birth, the whole area with a large multi-functional characteristics of this sought after by most fans, running around the streets from the start of the JEEP to the now ubiquitous Harvard, Tucson, can illustrate this point. Great Wall Motor has launched a few days ago "looking for SUV heart" of the activities described by the owner "SUV heart" of the story, to show deep in the heart of each person's "SUV heart." Thus "SUV heart" turned into "free mind", "Wild Heart", "Young Heart", "explore the heart", "aggressive heart", "hard heart" and so on.

Recently, in the major automotive Web site for two months of "looking for SUV heart" of the vote, the "free mind" 26% of the total number of votes number one, be recognized as "SUV heart." Proud, in Land Rover, JEEP, Hummer, Harvard survey of four brand personality, Hover with good quality and high price-performance ratio is considered to have "freedom of heart." Own brands and international brands, and occupied the same stage thunder "free mind", and further illustrates the content of its own brand in the increasingly close and brand over an international brand, has been recognized by domestic consumers.

"Life is precious, love is even more, if it is for free, which can be cast," people living in cities, daily face the gray sky, no life of reinforced concrete buildings in, over and over again the work of busy , but can not go out of it, so everyone's heart is a kind of latent desire to live in freedom. The SUV means of transport as a sport utility vehicle, in the realization of daily travel in the same city, but also in the leisure time to meet the owners desire to conquer the mountains. Gesanchawu drivers own car, set on 35 friends, went to the countryside to breathe fresh air, get rid of the city's hustle and bustle to enjoy a moment of quiet, unloaded the burden of the city feel free between heaven and earth, and occasionally conquer a mountain top cross over a swamp, so to have a free SUV heart.

Great Wall Hover as a "free mind" of the carrier in order to allow more consumers up close and Harvard, flying free SUV heart, Great Wall organized a "round the unbounded freedom of unlimited" free trip to the Great Wall Hover . Hover car field activities will be demonstrated live analysis, conducted by professional technical staff to explain, so that more consumers about HARP European four-star crash safety behind the secret. Then this should remind those who love cross-country movement friends, activities, field force will be invited to ring tournament champion Tara explain cross-country skills, Hafer owners can off-road venues in the local professional passion and professional off-road drivers, on-site PK to win prizes . I think it is irrelevant prizes Daoshi important is this activity gives consumers an opportunity to understand the SUV structure, so that more consumers have learned practical driving skills at the same time on its own brand has a new SUV understanding, in a sense to promote the domestic SUV market.

Hover SUV as a domestic automobile market development leads the way, it can represent the development of full development of the domestic SUV, the sales champion for six consecutive years, the Harvard gather a group of loyal users, they have a "SUV Heart" They are eager to live in freedom. "Free mind" as the representative of Great Wall Motor will also drain the domestic SUV market development trend, let us follow the Great Wall to explore the development of the next SUV's path.
