The hottest topic in these days may be the Winter Olympics and the ice pier, the arrival of the Winter Olympics has greatly ignited the enthusiasm of the Chinese people for ice and snow activities, as a ski enthusiast, I feel even more about this. This year's major snow fields in Beijing can be said to be very hot, and it is not too much to describe it as unprecedented. Riding on the wind of the Winter Olympics, Chang'an Kaicheng held an unusual ice and snow test drive, let's feel it together.
The test drive was selected in Duolun County, Xilin Gol, Inner Mongolia, and the driving route includes snow crossing and road driving, different road conditions are completely different experiences for drivers, and at the same time, the low temperature close to minus 30 degrees is also a test for vehicles.
Changan Kaicheng F70 is a global pickup product jointly created by Changan Automobile and PSA (Peugeot Citroën), the first commercial vehicle brand in Europe, and its overseas models adopt the form of hanging peugeot brand LOGO, named Landtrek. Changan Kaicheng F70 is an internationally competitive product, and it is also a working car for the National Alpine Ski Center (Winter Olympics) of the Winter Olympic Games.
Changan Kaicheng F70: Stable
As the most powerful representative of the new brand and new model of the mainland pickup truck, I was deeply impressed by the steady product strength of the Changan Kaicheng F70, even in extreme weather and complicated road sections, it did not disappoint me. The four-wheel drive executive gasoline version is equipped with a 2.4T gasoline engine code-named 4K22D4T by Shenyang Aerospace Mitsubishi, with a maximum power of 155 kW and a maximum torque of 320 N·m. In terms of transmission system, it is equipped with a 6-speed automatic transmission from Bangzhi in France.
The test drive was initially through the urban road, and the speed of the ice and snow road vehicles was also limited, but the earlier intervention of the turbine ensured the acceleration level of the Changan Kaicheng F70. Changan Kaicheng F70 automatic gear is equipped with "three-mode driving mode", that is, standard (NORMAL), eco (ECO) and sport (SPORT), I feel the most is the standard mode, in this mode the initial driving experience of the whole car is very active, no effort, no obvious drag, the speed with your throttle depth arbitrarily increase or decrease.
Changan Kaicheng F70 adopts hydraulic power steering, which is heavy in the hand and accurate in directivity. The smoothness of the shift from the 6-speed automatic transmission from Bangzhi in France is in line with expectations, and the upshift action is also positive and crisp enough, although the low-speed shift will occasionally have a slight setback, but it is also within the acceptable range, and the comfort of daily driving is still good.
The second part of the test drive is a jungle crossing, thick snow covers the ground, the vehicle can only go in one direction, most of the places have no ruts, it is "crossing the river by feeling the stones", and the shell craters cannot be completely avoided. Thanks to the rigidity of the non-load-bearing body, in the face of some complex road conditions such as side slopes, the body posture and stability of the Changan Kaicheng F70 are worthy of recognition.
Switching the driving mode to sport, the performance of the entire vehicle becomes active, the lift becomes very active, the posture of the whole car has changed dramatically, and the power response is very rapid. Under the economic model, the Changan Kaicheng F70 is much more obedient. Fuel saving is its core logic, but it is inevitable that it will be a little tied, if it is not a shortage of oil, I should rarely touch this mode in driving. Crossing in the snow, I occasionally get caught in the snow. In this case, do not panic, low speed four-wheel drive will help you get out of trouble. If you encounter a dilemma that cannot be relieved, do not panic, call your companions for rescue is the best policy.
The French have always been very accomplished in the chassis, and you can always see Peugeot's car figure at top races like the WRC and Dakar. Most of the chassis parts of Changan Kaicheng F70 are from well-known manufacturers, but the integration of product characteristics is not to pile a bunch of originals together, but also to be repeatedly tuned. The vehicle chassis system of Changan Kaicheng F70 is jointly tuned by the "Citroën Chassis Master" and the Detroit R&D Center of Changan Usa. It is worth mentioning that experts in Detroit, USA, have more than ten years of experience in tuning hardcore pickups such as Dodgers and Ford Raptors. In the process of this test drive, it often faces some bumpy sections, the chassis toughness of the Changan Kaicheng F70 is reflected, the suspension of the whole vehicle has a precise horizontal response, and the double wishbone independent front suspension can effectively absorb the lateral force of the tire and improve the grip of the tire. In addition, the Changan Kaicheng F70 frame has a large stiffness, strong steel girder, and has a good bearing capacity and the characteristics of absorption and resistance to twisting force are also displayed.
Ice and snow test drive without ice drift is incomplete, and Changan Kaicheng naturally knows this well. According to my past experience, turn off the body stabilization system when driving, quickly turn the steering wheel of the vehicle when turning, and the body immediately enters a "sliding" state; then reverse to maintain a certain steering wheel angle, and increase the throttle to let the car rush out of the bend, so that a set of flowing drifting moves can be formed.

Changan Kaicheng F70 inside and outside review
The appearance of changan Kaicheng F70 is extremely original, with an avant-garde exterior design, a highly tense and powerful front face shape and a tall vehicle size. The 29° approach angle and 27° departure angle are in the middle of the hardcore SUV or pickup model, but it is definitely more than enough to deal with most road conditions and light off-road sections.
The interior of Changan Kaicheng F70 is full of style, attaches great importance to creating an atmosphere that can stimulate driving passion, completely adopts the design of passenger cars, has bold innovations in the handling of details, and strives to create personalized features.
The central control screen of Changan Kaicheng F70 is a highlight of the vehicle, with a built-in in-Call3.0 system, which has a high degree of fluency; in addition, the clarity of its reversing image has also reached the level of passenger cars, and the 360 ° 3D high-definition hologram can also switch the visual angle, which greatly improves the driving safety. Changan Kaicheng F70 also has a subversive configuration in the pickup truck model, that is, the whole series is equipped with CN95 air filter as standard, which can not only effectively filter the dust and bacteria in the car, but also keep the air in the car clean and fresh when the external weather conditions are bad.
Conclusion: As the leader of the new generation of pickup trucks, Changan Kaicheng F70 has performed very well in all aspects, and in the process of this test drive, there is even a Xinjiang media who wants to buy a car on the spot. Plenty of power, good chassis tuning and a solid four-wheel drive system make it easy for novices to complete snow forest crossings. Changan Kaicheng F70 is a delicate and reliable "big toy", if you consider buying a pickup truck, it will be a good choice.
