ECar News China National Heavy Duty Truck VGV VX7 was officially listed, with a price range of 112,800-11.98 million yuan. It adopts a load-bearing body, taking into account the versatility of pickup trucks and daily driving, and becomes a fun car that opens up more life scenes.
Sinotruk VGV positioned the VX7 as a "full-scene passenger life pickup", and its characteristics of passengerization are very obvious from the appearance. The front face design of the VX7 is largely similar to the U75 PLUS with the same door, which is an SUV model. The VX7 features a large hexagonal mid-mesh with a black honeycomb-shaped grille, two transverse chrome trims, and the two side headlights are also closely connected to the mid-mesh.
Perhaps in order to create a dynamic shape, the line at the VX7 cargo box did not continue the trend of the waist line, but echoed with the C column to a certain extent, making a falling shape, which did make the side of the VX7 look a little more recognizable. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the VX7 are 5015/1870/1732mm, and the wheelbase is 2800mm, which is not outstanding in the pickup truck.
Coming to the rear of the body, the VX7 still did not follow the rules to put two small square taillights, but used a complex design that runs through the plus, which is a popular element that makes it understand. The VX7's case size is 1114/1438/588mm, and the length is slightly shorter, but there are two features that are worth praising.
Inside the car, if you don't explain it, you probably won't think it's the interior of a pickup truck, and even as the pickup becomes more and more detailed, the interior of the car is exceptionally urban. The fact that the VX7's interior comes entirely from the U75 PLUS also explains its design style.
Full LCD dashboard and large size central control screen can be seen on the VX7, its car machine also supports the Internet of Vehicles, you can use online music / audiobooks and navigation, etc., and support the original mobile phone interconnection, functionality to keep up with the times.
The air conditioning control area below uses touch buttons, which theoretically enhance the sense of technology, but whether such a design is convenient and safe for pickup trucks is debatable. In addition, other visible configurations include electronic handbrakes, automatic parking, driving mode selection and knob-type gear shift mechanisms, and there will be no discomfort in the user's transfer from the passenger car to this car.
In terms of power, the VX7 uses a combination of a 2.0T gasoline turbocharged engine and an 8AT transmission, with a maximum power of 224 horsepower and a peak torque of 385 Nm. This engine code-named HY4C20B comes from The Great Wall Holdings' Honeycomb Easy Creation, and is also mounted on the Beijing BJ40, and the performance can be trusted. In addition, the VX7 uses a load-bearing body, the suspension is the front McPherson type independent suspension plus the rear multi-link independent suspension, which is obviously biased towards the paved road setting, and the pickup truck with the non-loader body will theoretically have better road performance.
