A new off-road life, starting with the 212 T01
Nowadays, the car is no longer a simple means of transportation, but also a carrier that reflects the lifestyle and attitude towards life. The all-new 212 T01 can not only gallop in the wilderness with strong off-road performance, but also rely on excellent vehicle tuning to navigate the city; It is not only a source of inspiration for life, but also a close friend who moves forward side by side and explores together, and an indispensable and reliable partner for people who have the courage to break through and transcend the ordinary.
The all-new model under the 212 brand was officially named T01. The "T" in the name has a double meaning: first, it stands for "Times", which symbolizes "times". As a super symbol of China's off-road vehicles, the 212 once dominated a glorious era of off-road vehicles; Now, with a new brand, the 212 will enter a new era of products. Secondly, the "T" also stands for "Terrain", which means "all-terrain" capability. The number "01" symbolizes the first product after the relaunch of the 212 brand, indicating a new starting point and journey.
The blend of classic and fashionable brings a new travel experience
Adhering to the ingenuity spirit of inheritance and innovation, T01 pays tribute to the classics in the exterior design, the vehicle design integrates modern aesthetic concepts and manufacturing technology, and the tough and square body silhouette combined with the harmonious and smooth rounded transition has created a unique style of the 212 hard-core off-road vehicle with both rigidity and softness, and has a high brand identity and recognition.
The new car will be available in five colours, namely Teal Green, Genting White, Midnight Dark, Dark Sand Grey and Motuo Green. Among them, dark sand gray and ink degreening are sprayed with a special process to present different color textures.
The interior design is based on off-road and functional needs, with a tough design style. The central control and air-conditioning panels are equipped with mechanical buttons and are reasonably partitioned, so that the driver can easily operate every time. The instrument panel and central control screen are 10.25-inch and 12.3-inch automotive-grade LCD screens, which can display comprehensive off-road driving information.
Superior all-terrain capability for off-road "return" off-road
The 212 T01 is built for off-roading, with a very solid and reliable body, chassis, and drivetrain, which can bring users a unique and high-quality off-road driving experience.
T01 adopts a non-load-bearing body, and the top cover has 7 transverse and 2 longitudinal reinforcing beams, which is more uniform and more pressurized; Especially when dealing with the extreme situation of vehicle rolling, it can prevent the deformation of the roof cover to the greatest extent and effectively protect the occupants in the car. The floor has 6 reinforcing beams in the horizontal and vertical directions, plus the four-chamber super-strong nacelle and the hot-stamping door ring, forming a solid cage structure, and the proportion of high-strength steel has reached 71%.
The T01's trapezoidal frame has 6 stable beams, and the mounting points of the body are also optimized for dynamic stiffness, with a high proportion of high-strength steel up to 99%, which can fully absorb and resist road bumps. As a result, the car has excellent impact resistance, which ensures a stable ride and the safety of the occupants.
The off-road performance parameters of the original T01 car are very excellent, the approach angle and departure angle have reached 40 ° and 36 ° respectively, the longitudinal passing angle is 23.6 °, the maximum wading depth is 850mm, and the maximum climbing degree is 100%, and the overall performance is leading in the same class, which is at the leading level among all off-road models at present.
T01 adopts a mature and reliable solution of 2.0T GDI turbocharged in-cylinder direct injection engine + 8AT automatic transmission + electronically controlled mechanical time-sharing four-wheel drive, which can output a maximum power of 185kW and continuously release a peak torque of 410N·m in the speed range of 1900-3300. In four-wheel drive mode, the front and rear axles can continuously distribute the driving force of 50:50, and after the transfer case is hung into the 4L low-speed gear, the torque can be amplified by 2.5 times.
The 8-speed automatic transmission has also been adjusted for off-road use scenarios, with a relatively wide range of gear ratios, which can reach 7.81. This not only achieves a large low-speed gear ratio, improves low-speed torque, but also has a reasonable ratio gradient. Not only that, but the transmission can actually withstand 500N·m of torque, leaving room for power improvement and higher all-terrain off-road demand.
In the era of digital intelligence, T01 uses intelligent technology to create advanced digital off-road functions. The all-terrain driving system includes 8 driving modes, covering more scenes, and driving on various terrains with ease. Intelligent 360-degree panoramic image + transparent chassis allows you to see the dangerous road conditions on the off-road road at a glance and further improve driving safety. Matching the full-dimensional 6-axis gyro off-road information display system, including compass, altitude, atmospheric pressure, temperature, pitch angle, roll angle and other parameters, it provides users with a digital off-road experience, accurately grasps environmental information and body attitude at all times, and calmly copes with field driving scenarios. The Internet of Vehicles system can link the vehicle to the cloud service platform to realize the functions of remote control, remote upgrade, remote diagnosis, status monitoring and active rescue call of the vehicle.
The all-round strength of the value for money exceeds the expectations of users
The new 212 T01 has been designed from the ground up with the individual and functional needs of off-road users in mind. Therefore, the new car has reserved upgraded interfaces and space in all aspects such as appearance, interior, power, transmission, chassis, etc. Users can carry out non-perforation-free installation of body sheet metal for wading hoses, on-board radios, antennas outside the car, desert indication flagpoles and other parts, further improving the convenience of vehicle use. At the same time, the original factory has developed a large number of optional off-road configurations, such as front and rear axle mechanical limited slip electronically controlled differential locks, high-strength electric winch, multi-stage damping adjustable nitrogen shock absorbers, etc., to bring users the ultimate off-road experience.
In addition to meeting the user's needs for convenience, the 212 off-road vehicle regards the reliability of the product as a lifeline. T01 has undergone 366 rigorous off-road reliability verifications, in addition to the reliability test of the test site, the national road adaptability verification mileage has accumulated more than 1 million kilometers, including high temperature, high cold, and plateau regions, to ensure that the function and performance of each component have been fully verified, and the excellent weather resistance and corrosion resistance of the whole vehicle have been realized
In addition, the T01 front and rear five-link non-independent suspension structure has the advantage of excellent suspension travel, with a transmission shaft assembly made of high-strength steel, and the self-initiated bell mouth constant velocity universal joint, which can achieve stable and efficient power transmission and has good NVH performance. The front and rear drive axle housing is made of a single stamping and welding of the entire steel plate, with only one weld, which can withstand millions of vertical bending fatigue tests, with extremely high strength, providing a strong guarantee for driving performance and safety. Looking at the entire off-road vehicle market segment today, there are very few independent car brands that can apply hardcore off-road configurations such as non-load-bearing body, front and rear five-link suspension hard bridges, intelligent time-sharing four-wheel drive system, and three locks to one vehicle at the same time.
For the first time, the 212 T01 brings the official price of professional off-road models to the market level of 150,000 yuan, making off-road no longer exclusive to a few people, but a new lifestyle that everyone can enjoy. Truly powerful performance, never superficial. This is the 212 brand's commitment to users in off-road performance, and it is also the most powerful proof of its pure off-road genes.
Starting from the needs of users, we pay attention to product quality and user experience, and meet consumer expectations through reliable products. This is the foundation of the 212 off-road vehicle to enhance market competitiveness and brand improvement, and it is also an important way to achieve sustainable development. The 212 T01 will pay tribute to the off-road spirit with ingenuity, unlock a new realm of car use with technology, release the fun of driving with performance, and break through the boundaries of off-road experience in all scenes and multiple road conditions.
As the originator of China's off-road vehicles, 212 will continue to walk hand in hand with China's new generation of off-road enthusiasts with perseverance and solid and reliable strength and confidence, and show the world the power of Chinese car manufacturing. The 212 brand will continue to launch high-quality off-road products, continue to pay tribute to classics, witness new life, pay tribute to purity, witness excellence, pay tribute to inheritance, witness the future, and gradually move towards the international stage, becoming an important promoter of China's off-road culture.
