Test Drive Great Wall Wingle 3 since 2005 Picap
Pickup Great Wall Wingle has undergone cardinal restyling
Great Wall Wingle 5: reboot, reincarnation, rebirth, transformation and transformation. In a word restyling ... the Chinese were cool for the design, and there is something in it. Yes, it turned out a ferment of the old song, and there is absolutely no national flavor, but for some reason it's still nice.
Maiches Zhuban.
When you find out about the next restyling of a cheap car, there is a bad idea. Like, they produce a stool, well, and on the hell to decorate it? We would reduce better the price instead of justifying the cost of a new face. There is no more nonsense than to attach pig-iron macs for the pill.
Nice to see. Every year the Chinese truck is becoming more stylish
The Chinese constantly in the role of catching up. Every year we hear that they are about to play America with Russia and Germany, but the collapse of the world car industry because of the yellow plague never came. Never happen. Let's look at the industries of clothes and accessories. The legislators of this fashion are sitting in Paris, and while the Earth is spinning, and there will be. China makes a lot and clothes, and cars, but they never become leaders. No relevant genes, karma, charm, gloss and borousness. Therefore, in the first version of the Chinese pickup, we learned the concept of VW Magellan, and when the restyled us appears, we see something in the style of old RAV4. Only if the Chinese have enough keenness to roll out the concept of pagoda on the Frankfurt Motor show in the form of pagoda on wheels and she will go, waving four curved bumpers, it will be possible to talk about a hint of world domination, but as long as they come up with crumbs from someone else's table. Nevertheless, the updated Wingle succeeded. Despite my grinding, it is not bad at all, especially in black. Probably, that is why we were given silver.
Natural move.
Patency depends only on the driver's qualifications. No longer rely on that there was no electronic helpers and no
Like a shop window
During the restyling, the front headlights, the hood, the bumper, the radiator grille, the front wings, turn signs, fog lights have changed, and part of the materials used in the interior were also revised. All this did not affect the true essence of this car. For several days I gave it to Ivan, our technical expert, to ride, feel ... when he returned the car, I found that Coca-Cola was splashing in the cup holders. I remembered that I left her there. Apparently, Ivan's somehow broke the paper glass, and it flowed out. He did not even pay any attention to it. What is the difference that is happening with a truck. If you have a pickup, he is confident, he is full of garbage. However, perhaps you just fold it in the body. By the way, the Chinese have a new native kung. Previously, Wingle's branded lid reminded a huge refrigerator heel, now he is just a copy of the BMW X6. The same abis of the off-road coupe. Old kung was healthy and tightly iron, without glasses. The current compact and viewed from all sides as the showcase. Plus, he has lighting, electronic lock and gowns for venting (they will come in handy if you are lucky with a fusion). It is difficult to say which kung is better. My opinion: a pick-up should not have any covers. They interfere with dimuits. It took, say, transport palm, motorcycle or wardrobe to full growth. Where to give kung? In the garage? Alone will not remove, and wear a week. The new lid is stylish, but the body kills for bevelous reopers do not fit a lot.
- Unkind look. Aggression is much more than in the same
- draft. The conductive body allows you to transport, for example, dogs
If you are not confused
The chassis of the updated Wingle remained unchanged. Before us is still a truck. With a frame, on springs, with a tough-shifted full-wheel drive based on the American reduction box BorgWarner and a 2.3-liter gasoline engine, constructed from the old Mitsubishi unit. For civilian use, it is suitable if you are not embarrassed by shaking and vibrations. With an empty body rides pretty cheerfully, during overtaking does not slow down. However, the cargo will have to suffer in the right row. The motor is not particularly trading: 106 horsepower and 195 Newton-meters of torque. Modestly, but economically. Patency depends only on the driver's qualifications. It's not more to rely on that there was no electronic assistants. The geometry of the body does not interfere with the scribb in large bodies, too strongly protruding parts under the bottom is not observed.
Memory ancestors.
There are no cons of this interior. Everything is extremely functional and healthy reminds Toyota Hilux
On the Russian market of Wingle one competitor UAZ Pickup. It is noticeably more in dimensions and inner space. In comparable top trimming, competitors cost 589,000 and 622,000 rubles, respectively. Every year, the reasons why the Chinese can prefer to the opponent becomes greater. Would I write so if the Chinese were not invested in a new design? Do not know...
Pickup coupe. New word in automotive design. Useful volume of body fell death brave in battle with beauty
Caution, technical details
Externally Great Wall Wingle 5 Representative of the modern generation of Chinese pickups. However, it is constructed in the old manner and is based on the classic steel frame of the staircase. The machine is equipped with a simple and reliable GW491Q engine made in Japanese motifs, and the American Borgwarner transmission is even more reliable and even easier. The fuel injection indicates that it is almost a modern car, and not only a utilitarian vehicle for the transport of a pig to the market. The rug steering mechanism with a hydraulic man allows you to easily control the machine on the asphalt and in the mud.
Spring back and torsion front pendants, drum rear brakes, lowering transmission in a transfer box, some electronic excesses in the form of ABS and ESP All this is covered by the body applying to modern design: it looks like it is not bad.
Buyers will appreciate the work of designers and in the cabin, but even more pleased that the panels stopped growing.
