Since the release of the X7, we have been full of curiosity about it, the price of 19,900 yuan that year was equipped with 250cc power, traction control, ABS, and the identity of the joint venture brand, which is cheaper than many joint venture 150s, and the configuration is very tempting, but will the manufacturer save costs in driving experience?
Although the X7 is already a popular model, there are still many players who are still unfamiliar with it, or only stay in the appearance of the cognition, with the beginning of another riding season, let's talk about this very cost-effective scooter.
This issue of X7 test drive is a 2021 model, and the newly released version 2.0 X7 will be shared with players in time after the test drive.
In terms of comprehensive quality, Piaggio X7 is definitely a conscientious model in the market, in terms of displacement alone, the scooters of this level are generally sold to more than 20,000 yuan, or even close to 30,000 yuan, from this aspect alone, it is very tempting.
In terms of configuration, the X7 did not cut corners, KYB shock absorption, high lumen headlights, front and rear ABS system and ASR anti-skid system, making it remarkable in the same class of models.
Only in the details of the part, X7 to do some rough, such as the surface design of the board, the direct seams of the shell, etc., if the process of this part is further improved, it will be more perfect.
Power parameters and configuration are only appearances, and whether a car is riding well or not is the key to influencing consumer purchases. For this, we also had a short but gentle test drive experience.
I think compared to the external configuration, the power of the X7 is the core of everyone's attention, although its price is less than 20,000, but it is not discounted at all in the power level, it is very urban in terms of power adjustment, and the throttle response and speed in the initial stage are extremely positive.
If you screw the throttle down at the start of the green light, it is faster than most cars on the road, and personally feel that it is not inferior to many models in the same class.
Efficient power is not only only in the initial stage, 8500 rpm to exert the maximum power of the adjustment, so that it in the start of a long time, have a lot of acceleration, driving on the mountain road, uphill overtaking can also feel a lot of confidence. The motivation to be on call is also very pleasant when running the mountain alone. This engine can be used in many models, and it does have unique advantages.
In terms of suspension, I thought I would adjust for more comfort, because on the way to the mountains, I passed a lot of speed bumps, and I didn't feel too much bump when I passed. But when I entered the bend of the mountain road, the suspension support was stronger than I thought.
More intense than normal driving into the corner, the body of the sense of stability is very steady, although the entire body looks large, but when dumping the body is very obedient, the left and right changes the body does not drag mud and water, in fact, it is very much like a smaller size scooter.
Although the X7 can run very smoothly on the mountain road, it is not suitable for too intense driving, and the cornering limit of the original tire is not high, because it is necessary to take into account the all-weather road environment, so when the body inclination angle is too large, the ASR will begin to start frequently, that is, the back skid begins to become more and more obvious. The support of the front shock absorption is also somewhat weak at large inclination angles, and the directivity is also beginning to be somewhat blurred. However, this is not a disadvantage for X7, because its home stadium is still dominated by cities, and sportiness is a project that adds points to it.
Fuel consumption, long-distance comfort and wind resistance performance, etc., need to have a long-term test drive in the future and then share with you, perhaps wait until then will be a new feeling, because in the first few minutes before we released this test drive, Piaggio announced the price of the 2.0 version of X7: 22980 yuan.
Six upgrades were made to build on the model we were test-driving, the most notable of which was the power increase to 19.1 kW, further improving performance. Fuel consumption is reduced by 10%, which also allows the new X7 to have a higher endurance. What do you think about the price?
On the surface, Piaggio X7 is cost-effective, but this is also the most difficult, not only the price is cheaper than others, the comprehensive strength of all aspects is not lost, which can constitute the meaning of cost performance. In the X7 2.0 version, can you still see the hot sales of the current X7? Let's wait and see.
