Test Drive Great Wall Wingle 3 since 2005 Picap
Grease Wall Wall Wall
The new engine at the pickup Great Wall Wingle is masked under the diesel, but eats gasoline ... Once upon a time, when there was no crisis in Russia and everyone thought that Chinese pickups were injured on our market. It came to the point that even the club of lovers of Chinese cars was organized, in which the owners of the Trucks were mainly.
In the press, malicious voices were heard that in a few years the Chinese will eat all of us with rice. People really believed in this nonsense! Few some confused the fact that the Chinese car in those days drove a little more than a meter, and then disappeared instead the owner received great problems. Realizing that the solution to these problems would cost him a whole state, and spare parts wait for about the next Kali-Yugi, the unlucky owner quickly exhibited a pickup for sale. Thus, the visibility of some life around the Chinese auto industry was created, heated by the lie holders and the greed of dealers, each month adding the next Chinese manufacturer to his portfolio, found out how to make cars, a few weeks ago.
Maximum rise for this pickup 30%
When foam smoked
And when all this foam hit, one guest left on the beach, and Great Wall Wingle remained on the beach. Fortunately, the rest is no longer heard. The last time I tried to spend the test drive of the next novelty from China, she had a brakes on the right rear disk. As a result, I arrived at the editorial on three working wheels for the first time in my life, that is, according to the formula 4x3.
Wingle survived, because from the very beginning he was the only one of all Chinese pickups worthy of referring to the car. The rest, apparently, tied up under the guise of toys. In January 2010, a 700 thousand wingle walled with conveyors of Great Wall. Since the beginning of production in 1999, the Pickups Great Wall remains sales leaders in their homeland. In addition to leadership in the domestic market, the share of Great Wall accounts for more than 80% of PIC exports from the PRC.
Passenger seats are surprisingly comfortable and spacious
Today's test drive reason to talk about a new 2.3 liter gasoline engine. Previously, it was put on CUV G5. Now on the pickup. This is a move of a horse, because until today it is to buy a gasoline pickup meant to give money for UAZ. And he, alas, is still very raw. GW Wingle is much better. Not the worst design, quite quality interior decoration materials, a large inner space, including a comfortable rear row. And the most advanced miracle you let go of the steering wheel, and the car continues to go straight. True, it goes not as fast as it looks like, and when overtaking on the track, I want to turn off and air conditioning, and headlights with music. These 110 liters. with. Already exhaled by four thousand revolutions. Motor gasoline, and the power characteristics of diesel. Well, though the transmission is tuned properly and the thrust on the nizakh is quite enough.
Body size 1410x1450 mm. Worthy for this class
For its 490 thousand, this is the best choice for the choice of nice surfer, the owner of the network of tobacco kiosks and everyone who is afraid that winter the dieselgers will freeze. It eats 92th gasoline, and not much more than Mazda BT-50 diesel fuel. Liter for two.
Caution, technical details
Great Wall Wingle is an evolutionary product of the Chinese car industry, and not a copy of the Japanese car of twenty years ago. Accordingly, it is interesting to note some features. First of all, the Chinese comrades made a car lowering, because most buyers are not engaged in her trophy raids, but to sit down-tolerate and ship-unload it is somehow anyway. So the springs were located under the bridges, burning the wicked share of the clearance, the front independent suspension levers were also moved down, giving the ability to sit down. In this case, the general clearance is preserved in the region of 200 mm, which in the presence of a full drive is more than acceptable for driving on any roads, except forest-free. The gasoline motor is designed to expand the circle of buyers at the expense of those who still do not trust cars with a diesel engine. It seems that, first of all, this power unit is aimed at markets with cheap gasoline, because the characteristics of this engine differ little from the qualities of the diesel version. A little higher power with a slightly smaller torque with very close revolutions. Hardly the buyer in the middle lane will notice the difference, although in the mountains it may be significant due to the lowering of the diesel.
