All the current keyboard car gods, often hanging on the lips are the three major golden sentences: "Japanese cars cut corners, lighter than German cars", the result is that the Camry is heavier than the Passat, snapping in the face. "Japanese cars are not safe, look at volkswagen laser welding, steel plate thickness, safe!" As a result, Passat broke the A-pillar, Tiguan L broke the B-pillar, and punched his face. "Japanese cars save fuel, but running high-speed is not OK, drifting ~", this seems to be the consensus of the Chinese people, will not always be punched in the face, sorry, or punch in the face.
Who told you that Japanese cars run at high speeds? How many Japanese cars have you driven? Yatsushiro Camry high-speed drifting? Does the Subaru Tiger float at high speed? Is lexus floating at high speed? Acura RDX high-speed drifting? Mazda high-speed drifting? Is the new nature floating at high speed? How many cars will you drive to the legal speed limit? So why do you say that Japanese cars are floating at high speed? Did the ten-year-old driver tell you, or the twenty-year-old mechanic? Japanese cars are light so fluttering? What age, still believe in the Japanese car steel plate thin car light lie, these people are really not stupid and bad.
Camry has a minimum curb weight of 1530kg, a Passat has a minimum of 1455kg, and a Magotan has a minimum of 1440kg. Also for the lowest fit, the Camry weighs 75-90kg. Corolla minimum with 1335kg, Buick Yinglang minimum with 1220kg, Langyi minimum with 1225kg, Civic minimum with 1245kg, why do you say that the Japanese car is light? In my opinion, Japanese cars are not good face projects, will not hammer steel plates, will not stand at the door, and will not close the door tone of the tone.
Besides, who told you that car weight is related to high-speed drifting? Formula 1 cars weigh less than 1500 kg and can run more than 300 km/h, according to what some people say, the theory is not heavenly? The truth that affects the stability of high-speed aircraft is still able to take off, and F1 only 1500kg can still fly close to the ground, because the truth that affects high-speed stability is not the weight of the car. The high-speed stability of the car is affected by factors such as aerodynamics, suspension, steering, body rigidity, tire width, and body center of gravity. Aerodynamics: Aerodynamics is very important for the high-speed stability of the vehicle, because high-speed driving cars will generate rising forces, and relying on aerodynamic design, changing the direction of air flow increases downforce and improves body stability.
Suspension tuning: Comfortable tuning suspension because of the long suspension stroke, small damping, easy to make people have a feeling of flickering, that is, the so-called floating. In this regard, cars with more resilient suspensions have an advantage.
Steering tuning: Many people in the running high-speed, think that the steering wheel heavy virtual position is the so-called stability, many American cars are such a setting, more virtual positions, less road sense feedback, with the speed gain is large.
Body center of gravity: The lower the body center of gravity, the better the driving stability, and the car with the same conditions is more stable than the SUV driving at high speed. Tire width: The larger the tire width, the stronger the grip and the better the driving stability.
Does Corolla float at high speed? I used to have questions about the corolla's high-speed driving stability, because the previous generations of corolla were tuned by family grocery carts, and the suspension was soft, but after test driving the new Corolla, I was punched in the face.
1. Rear independent suspension upgrade. Thanks to the upgrade of the TNGA architecture, the rear suspension has been upgraded to a double wishbone independent suspension system for a smoother and more comfortable ride. The bottom of the car has also added 3 new aluminum lateral retainers, which increases the integrity of the body and ensures the stable structure in the case of body bumps, making the vehicle handling better and more stable;
2. The center of gravity is reduced. In terms of driving handling, TNGA lowered the new Corolla center of gravity by 20mm in total and 35mm in the rear end of the engine compartment, which is very critical, which means that the body near the front wheels of the Corolla in front of the car has dropped by 35mm, and the sense of stability of driving has increased significantly;
3, the body strength is stronger. The models under this generation of TNGA platform have generally improved the rigidity of the body, and the new Corolla adopts the GOA high rigidity body design, a large number of ultra-high-strength steel and hot stamping molding processes, and changes the instrument panel reinforcement structure to enhance the rigidity of the steering support.
So on the new generation of Corolla, even if you drive to the legal speed limit, it is difficult to find the feeling of high-speed fluttering, in the compact car level, The Corolla's high-speed stability is no less than that of the same level of opponents, or even stronger, to borrow the famous quote of No. 38, I am responsible for my conclusions.
