The title is actually a false proposition. At present, most of the self-driving tour routes can be reached by any car, and the domestic infrastructure will get better and better in the future, and more and more roads will be repaired. Therefore, it is basically not a super-extreme self-driving tour route. As long as it is a car, it can be played. In this talk, relatively speaking, some people, even professional media, ignore some car selection points, and systematically sort out the relatively perfect state of self-driving tour cars for your reference.
1. Many car reviewers and professional media directly ignore the minimum ground clearance, and many configuration tables on mainstream websites are empty, but I think this is very important, and it directly affects the passability, and the bottoming feeling is too sour. It also includes the approach angle and departure angle, and the advanced point is the wading depth.
2. The displacement directly affects the power. You must know that on the endless expressway or national road in the Northwest, the power is not enough, the engine is dry and it just doesn’t work hard, and the cars around you pass you one after another. The road condition is excellent. , but the destination not far away cannot be reached before dark. That feeling is really unforgettable for Lao Zhou. There is also plateau adaptability, and attention should be paid to how to choose between small-displacement turbo and large-displacement self-priming.
3. The ability of four-wheel drive to get out of trouble, don’t expect too many mechanical locks for full-time four-wheel drive, but the timely four-wheel drive with multiple clutches can’t be too bad, sometimes on a very shallow muddy ground, the front wheels just get stuck and can’t give force , anti-skid plates, and shovels can’t get out of trouble. At this time, a distribution of 30 power to the rear wheels may save your life or save you from a long trouble and waiting.
4. Tires/spare tires Many people ignore tires when buying a car. In fact, they go out to play (even if they don’t go out to play). Tires can be said to be as important as four-wheel drive, power, and reliability. In order to find that the grip is insufficient or it is easy to slip. Either the picture looks good and I bought a large tire of 18 inches or more. As a result, I had to change AT tires for long-distance play, only to find that the corresponding 18-inch large AT tires are so difficult to match. Of course local tyrants ignore it, so does the spare tire. There is no guarantee that the spare tire has a small foot. However, it is true that there are very few full-size ones on the market, especially family SUV models (in addition, it reminds me of Nazhijie’s god-level spare tire. Location).
5. Fuel grades There are many places that do not have high-grade fuel for long-distance self-driving, and many places have great discounts on 92 fuel, but not 95 grade, which also affects a lot of cost after long-distance calculations. It is still the same sentence, I am a commoner, a local tyrant neglect.
6. Fuel consumption The fuel tank affects the cost, as well as battery life. In some less developed places, the mileage is very important, and it can also improve the efficiency of self-driving. The most obvious thing reminds me of Volvo’s S90. Hey…
7. Steering wheel empty space Normally speaking, good control means that the steering wheel points precisely and there are few empty seats, but I personally feel that it will be easy to get tired after long-distance self-driving. I prefer a car with some empty seats.
8. Cruise control varies from person to person. Some people think that cruise control is necessary for long distances, but I always feel that it is a bit dangerous if I am used to it, and I will not respond in time to unexpected situations.
9. Reliability No one wants to be in a good mood and then turn halfway, which is why there are so many Japanese cars on the classic non-paved road self-driving routes in Northwest and Southwest, especially on bad roads.
10. Accessories, maintenance cost and convenience are not only for self-driving long-distance fun, even when buying a car, many people ignore this point. The most typical examples are Subaru and Infiniti (of course, they should be viewed separately, they are also very reliable).
The above is just for your reference. The purpose is that something is better than nothing. There is no harm in being thoughtful about long-distance self-driving. There is no perfect car, but relatively speaking, you can have a car that is more suitable for you and long-distance self-driving.
