Who says a big car costs a lot of oil？ X Ring measures Ford’s sharp edge 2.7T
[XCAR original test]
It seems that the domestic market of seven SUVs in the past few years is really lacking, because Toyota Highlander seems to occupy a dominant position in this market segment for a long time. The reason for this is actually very simple. Except for Highlander, all seven SUVs in the domestic consumer market are imported by vehicle, which does not pose a direct threat to the domestic Highlander in terms of after-sales maintenance and price.
However, this year, international manufacturers such as Ford and Nissan have taken advantage of the opportunity of model change to introduce products with good reputation in the international market into localization, intending to break the monopoly of Highlander in the seven SUV markets.
A few months ago, our colleague Zhou Ao took the lead in experiencing the configuration and driving experience of the Ford Sharp 2.7T model, and the fuel economy that consumers are most concerned about in their daily vehicles naturally needs to pass the X Ring 24-hour fuel consumption test.
The model selected for this X Ring 24-hour fuel consumption test is the 2015 Ford Sharp 2.7T GTDI four-wheel drive Zunrui model with a guiding price of 429,800 yuan, with a curb weight of 2150kg and a fuel tank volume of 70L.
During the fuel consumption test, two adult men were in the car for most of the time, and the total weight was about 170kg. After counting the supplies (including water and food, photography, camera equipment, etc.) carried in the car, the mass of the whole car almost reached 2.4 tons.
Same as the previous X Ring fuel consumption test, our test route still chooses the main road of the fourth ring and inner ring, and the test time is from 8:00 am on the first day to 8:00 am on the next day. During the period, the driver is rotated to drive continuously. During the whole test, the vehicle speed was kept within 80km/h (including 80km/h) according to the traffic regulations. After the test, the average fuel consumption per 100 kilometers was calculated by the fuel consumption of the vehicle.
The test vehicle is equipped with a 2.7T V6 engine, which was first used on domestic models. The maximum power is 242kW/5500rpm and the maximum torque is 475Nm/2500-4500rpm. It is matched with the 6-speed SelectShift automatic manual transmission commonly used on Ford models. The vehicle adopts a load-bearing body structure, uses a combination of front McPherson independent suspension/rear multi-link independent suspension, and has an AWD intelligent four-wheel drive system. It aims to improve the handling of vehicles and the ability to get rid of difficulties on unpaved roads.
