In recent years, many car brands, especially independent brands, have become more and more eclectic in the naming of models, whether it is BYD's Dynasty series or the Great Wall's coffee series, which have left a deep impression, and Jietu is aiming at the classic romance of the Three Kingdoms that everyone is familiar with, in addition to the earlier X70 Zhuge edition, the X90 has launched the Zilong series. Speaking of Zhao Yun Zhao Zilong, it can be regarded as a popular character in the Three Kingdoms, the white horse and silver gun, the perfect warrior image that combines bravery, loyalty and wisdom, so it seems that the Jietu X90 Zilong will also have good strength.
Jietu X90 Zilong is basically the same as the X90 PLUS that debuted earlier in terms of styling design, and compared with the ordinary version of X90, whether it is design, configuration or power, there have been certain changes and upgrades.
Compared with the ordinary version of X90, the large size grille of the front octagon of the Zilong model is particularly eye-catching, and the application of a large number of chrome decorations also enhances the sense of luxury and heaviness, and this powerful style is more in line with its positioning.
The headlights are directly connected to the middle net, and with a chrome eyebrow, it looks more heroic, the full LED light source lighting effect is good, and it also provides automatic headlight opening and closing and adaptive far and near light switching and other functions.
The side of the body has not changed much, but the popular hidden D-pillar and semi-suspended roof design is adopted, and in terms of body size, the X90 Zilong has a length, width and height parameters of 4858/1925/1780mm and a wheelbase of 2850mm, which is a relatively standard medium-sized SUV.
The 20-inch wheel size is not small, and the dense-format design is more to create a sense of luxury, the standard tires are from the Michelin e-PRIMACY Series, focusing on silence and durability, with a specification of 255/45 R20.
The design of the rear of the car is mainly a stable and atmospheric style, the overall sense is also very strong, which is more suitable for this medium and large SUV, the use of chrome decoration is not exaggerated, and the two sides of the quad exhaust is not deliberately prominent movement.
The through-type taillights are a popular design style at present, which further highlights the visual width of the rear of the car, and the chrome decorative strips embedded in them also have the Brand logo of Jietu, which also makes the sophistication have been greatly improved.
The interior of the Jietu X90 Zilong has a good balance between luxury and stability and technological fashion, and the all-dark interior used in the test drive model also creates a relatively pure atmosphere, and the layout of the dual screen is more in line with the current design trend.
The three-frame steering wheel adopts the shape of the upper circle and the lower flat, with a perforated leather package, which has a very good grip, and the control functions integrated above are quite rich, and the design and logic are very similar to mercedes-Benz.
The 12.3-inch full LCD meter has a variety of theme styles to meet the needs of users with different tastes, and the overall UI design also has a bit of déjà vu, but both the display clarity and functional completeness are quite good.
The 12.3-inch central display with the same size is also very functional, the car machine system is integrated into the Tencent ecosystem, a large number of small programs can be applied, there is a WeChat car machine version, and functions such as Huawei HiCar mobile phone interconnection are enough to impress young people.
The control panel of the dual-zone automatic air conditioner also uses a 9.7-inch touch screen, and the two temperature adjustment knobs use physical operation, which is good convenience, and the air conditioner also has an air purification function, which is still very appropriate.
Panoramic sunroof for an SUV model is definitely an indispensable configuration, but also Chinese consumers like to see, X90 Zilong panoramic sunroof size is not small, the first half can be opened, so that the car appears to be transparent a lot.
360-degree panoramic parking assistance has good practicality, camera clarity is acceptable, you can switch between 2D and 3D display, and support multi-angle picture presentation, for novice drivers in a small space parking or has a strong help.
In addition to identifying the driver and logging into the Face ID vehicle account, the infrared camera located on the A pillar on the driver's side can also monitor the driver's status during the drive and prompt fatigue and distraction.
Another camera located in the roof of the car is used to monitor the situation inside the car, help the driver observe the situation in the back row in real time, and if there are children or pets left in the car, they can also automatically report to the owner through the mobile phone APP.
Next to the shift lever, a wireless charging pad for mobile phones has been added, along with non-slip rubber pads, which is a great help to charge mobile devices at any time during the trip, but larger phones may not be able to accommodate them.
The front seats are wide and thick, with good comfort, but the side support is general, in addition to supporting electric adjustment, heating, ventilation these functions are not absent, the main driver's seat also has three sets of position memory, excellent functionality.
The Jetway X90 Zilong is available in five-, six- and seven-seat versions, and the five-seat rear space we tested performed quite well, with plenty of space for both head and legs, as well as air-conditioning outlets.
The luggage compartment is very regular, there is a lot of loading space in the conventional state, and there is also a configuration of the inductive electric tailgate, the opening of the tailgate is very large, and it will be more convenient when carrying large luggage.
The rear seats can be reclined proportionally to further improve the loading capacity of the vehicle, at which point a huge space can be obtained, but the rear seats and luggage compartment floor after being reclined cannot fully form a flat surface, but the impact is not large.
In terms of power, Jietu X90 Zilong is equipped with Kunpeng Power 2.0TGDI turbocharged engine, which is also the largest and most powerful one in the current X90 car series, with a maximum power of 187kW (254Ps) / 5500rpm and a peak torque of 390N.m/1750-4000rpm.
In terms of transmission system, it is matched with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, and compared with the ordinary version of X90, the gear shift mechanism is upgraded to an electronic gear handle, in addition to a more advanced sense, the occupation of the central channel space is also smaller.
Compared with the previous 1.5T or 1.6T engines, the 2.0T engine equipped by the X90 Zilong is obviously a step higher in power performance, the low-torque output is more sufficient, and the initial stage is somewhat fierce.
The performance difference between different driving modes is obvious, ECO mode is actually very suitable for daily driving, the power output is very linear, and THE NORM mode will be somewhat exciting, the engine speed will remain around 2000rpm, and the SPORT mode will be more sensitive.
After the engine speed reaches 2000 rpm, there will also be a flashpoint of power, and the confidence of overtaking in the middle of the acceleration is sufficient, but the texture of this explosion seems to be a little abrupt, which may be a little unnatural.
The smoothness of the 7-speed dual-clutch transmission is guaranteed to be good, and it also alleviates the turbine hysteresis of the engine, and its presence is not strong in daily driving, but when it suddenly presses the throttle to accelerate sharply, its downshift reaction is still a bit slow.
The suspension tuning of the front McPherson rear multi-link is still a clear home style, more emphasis on comfort, and the sense of heaviness is also good, but when passing through some fine and bumpy sections, the passengers in the car will still be more obviously perceived.
The steering wheel feels very light, even female drivers will not feel very tired of driving, the directionality is acceptable, but it is not sharp, the number of laps is relatively large, there is not much feedback, and most of the same level of SUV similar, or a relatively flat feeling.
The test drive of the Jietu X90 Zilong, it can be seen that the manufacturer is still quite hearty, arranged in Zhao Yun once killed a seven-in-seven-out Dangyang Changsaka slope, indeed, compared with the ordinary version of the X90, whether in the design, power or intelligent network configuration, the Zilong series has a lot of evolution, the power performance is really a bit of the tiger tiger of the general who won the year, but in essence, this is still a solid home SUV, The pre-sale price of 13.99-16.39 million still has certain advantages over many competitors of the same level, and in the near future, Jietu X90 Zilong will also be officially listed, whether it can be as the name suggests, showing the brave three armies of Changshan Zhao Zilong, we wait and see.
