In the past, in our eyes, pickup trucks were special types of cars with "tool car" attributes, but with the change of people's lifestyles and the liberalization of market policies, pickup trucks have been given more functions and attributes. As the most representative product line of Great Wall pickup trucks, the Great Wall Cannon series was the first to bring pickup trucks into more travel fields. Today's test drive of the King Kong cannon gives us a new understanding of pickup truck models...
As a brand new model, the King Kong Gun was just launched on March 22, and there are 12 configurations in the whole series, 6 gasoline versions and 6 diesel versions. The guide price is set at a competitive 88,800-125,800 yuan. The model we are test driving today is the diesel version of the four-wheel drive pilot (TEUS) version, and in order to meet the needs of different users, the Diamond Gun is available in three versions: TEU, long box, and flat box. In terms of transmission system, at this stage, all the Kongo gun series are manual transmission models, but I believe that soon the automatic version will also be available.
Needless to say, the shape design of the diamond cannon really uses the design concept of "minimalist aesthetics", simple and tough lines, explosive middle net, and a thick waist line with a strong sense of strength. With the dream blue, worry-free white, bold black, enterprising gray, struggle brown 5 kinds of body colors, the fashion elements into the design of commercial pickup trucks, the Great Wall Cannon can be said to be the most stylish one.
Two circular fog lights were designed under the left and right sides of the Diamond Gun bumper, and the front bumper was painted black. The whole front of the car is full of aura, whether it is in and out of the city business circle or working on the construction site, you can hold the whole field.
The new headlights group adopts a full LED light source plus matrix design, and the internal structure lines are more square, which is also similar to the tank series.
The rear tail light adopts an integrated design, although the cost uses the LED light source and the halogen bulb configuration, but the relatively improved position not only makes the rear car more recognizable, but also reduces the probability of damage under the extreme road conditions, which reduces the cost of use for the user.
After fully listening to the opinions of users, King Kong Cannon deliberately added a configuration of cargo box lighting to facilitate the owner to carry the contents of the cargo box at night or under non-light conditions.
The whole cargo box is equipped with 6 external rope hooks and 4 inner rope hooks as standard, and the number of rope suspension points is ahead of the same level, and the loading is more relaxed.
TEU, long box, flat bottom three kinds of cargo box optional, long box, flat bottom container length of 1.82m, the volume of the same level leading, transportation efficiency is higher.
The interior of the Diamond Gun is the most important thing to talk about, and the first feeling of sitting in the cockpit will make you wonder: Is this really the interior of a pickup truck? With the exception of the manual grip in the central control area, which reminds me that this is a pickup truck at all times, it is difficult for me to associate this interior with the pickup truck model.
In particular, the dashboard and central control screen of the new car adopt a borderless suspension dual-screen design, which may not be new in luxury SUVs or family cars, but it does bring a trendy visual perception and a sense of technology on the pickup truck with the hard name of King Kong Gun. The shape of the steering wheel is also integrated into the design of the car logo, and the control buttons and grip are very full.
The interior of the Diamond Cannon is also very bold in color, using a contrast color combination, one of which I like the color scheme to make it young and stylish. The car central control area bureau suspension display below the air conditioning outlet, it is worth noting the central air outlet and the two sides to add gold trim embellishment, the overall more simple and beautiful.
In terms of technology and comfort configuration, the new car is equipped with a car networking system that provides intelligent voice, intelligent car control, intelligent services and other functions and supports FOTA upgrades. Among them, intelligent speech recognition can realize scenarios such as playing music, browsing information, and intelligent dialogue. In addition, the car can also remotely control door locks, engines, air conditioners, etc. through intelligent car control; the intelligent services it provides can realize navigation, smart parking, remote diagnosis, and exclusive seats.
Keyless entry + one key start is complete without manual key unlocking door and inserting key to start, sliding door unlock on the car to start, in one go, with the car more relaxed.
The storage slot for placing the mobile phone and the dual USB interface are designed outside the power interface, and the charging and connecting the car machine are not wrong.
A variety of materials and contrasting designs bring richer and more diverse textures to different details, and the places where the body touches are soft wrapped, which is completely beyond our imagination of pickup truck models.
King Kong Cannon has a variety of fashionable interior colors, of which our favorite is this set of light rice and sauce purple contrast configuration of the interior, the seam shape on the seat increases the overall sense of design, and then with a variety of body colors, always meet the user's various personalized needs.
The air conditioner outlet design simulates the "high-energy tail spout" of the fighter, adopts a full and tensioned face, and the internal and external double ring contrast design increases the sense of science and technology and also gives people a feeling of surging power.
The space in the rear is not luxurious but it is enough to use, and the rear backrest has an incline angle of 25°, which is more comfortable in the rear of the Diamond Gun than the upright rear row of a traditional pickup truck.
The rear seats can be rolled up to provide more storage space and easy to carry large items.
In terms of power, the King Kong cannon has two sets of gasoline and diesel 2.0T + 6MT gold power combination, the diesel version of the 4D20M can output 120kW / 400N·m power, low-speed torque is strong; while the 2.0T 4C20B gasoline engine output reaches 140kW/360N·m at high speed more smoothly.
In particular, the suspension system of the Diamond Gun model adopts the configuration of the front double wishbone rear leaf spring, which ensures the comfort of the ride while taking into account the durability of the load.
Especially his chassis tuning, whether the driver's position or the crew position can get similar to the SUV riding comfort, the performance of the rear suspension is not as hard as the traditional leaf spring, in the city paved road can also have a good toughness, and on the ordinary non-paved road driving will not have too much extra bounce, you can feel the Chassis Tuning team of the Great Wall Gun is to make the texture of the whole vehicle close to the SUV model.
The deepest feeling after the test drive is that the King Kong gun has completely separated from the use of "tool cars", which can meet commercial needs, and even catch up with a suv product of the same price in terms of interior and comfort, which truly makes the pickup truck meet more lifestyles and different travel needs. Out of the street, down to the ground, intelligence, fashion has become its synonym, as a new era of strivers have a face of the career partner, intelligent life assistant, King Kong Cannon not only did it and deserve praise!
