Introductory song in a fiddle ballad:

This summer is the hottest year, just in October, friends from north and south even put on down jackets. Although the cold winter is about to enter, but there is a heat called "pickup fever".

In 2019, the pickup truck market was closed with 452,000 units, in 2020, the pickup truck market was closed with 491,000 units, and in 2021, the narrow terminal sales of pickup trucks ended with 554,000 units. In the case of the repeated epidemic, the pickup truck market for many years has once again proved that the pickup truck market is a very potential market.

Into the era of pickup trucks

Most people see the pickup trucks from American movies, but a few people know about the history of pickup trucks! Next, learn the history of pickup truck with Xiaobian. The world's first pickup truck was born in 1925, from the Ford Model T model, until 1982, this pickup truck has been writing the first sales myth in the United States. Pickup trucks in China has been abandoned very soil, but on the other side of the ocean, the American tears are glowing, there is a saying to describe the relationship between the pickup trucks and the United States: no model is more "American" than the pickup truck, and no country is more "pickup trucks" than the United States!

Although pickup trucks were born early in the United States, they were really put into mass production and use after World War II. The world's first mass-produced pickup truck was made by Dodge in 1946, and it was originally positioned as farm vehicles. Later, the other Chevrolet and Ford, the two giants of the American automobile manufacturing industry, joined the pickup truck battle group. After continuous configuration upgrade and transformation, the pickup truck is more and more close to the passenger car, the appearance and interior are close to the car, two seats to four seats, V6V8 power support, let the pickup truck gradually become comfortable and delicate.

In 1955, Japan also began to launch its own pickup truck, which undoubtedly brought a sense of crisis to the pickup truck market in the United States, coupled with the oil crisis in the United States, consumers can not afford the American large displacement pickup truck, they have to the smaller Japanese pickup truck. Isuzu's first pickup was born in 1963 as WASP, which could carry a ton, but there was no truck or pickup, with a 1.3L gasoline or 1.8L diesel engine.

In 1972, Isuzu launched the first generation of pickup truck named Faster, and exported to South Africa and Australia. Until 1980, the export alone had exceeded 100,000, followed by the launch of the second generation of pickup truck, and continued until 1988 with the launch of the third generation of pickup truck, which officially opened the prelude of the pickup era.

In 2022, Isuzu launched the first generation D-MAX in Thailand, and the second generation D-MAX in 2012, which is widely recognized by consumers for its stable and reliable product power. The Isuzu D-MAX has now sold more than 3 million units in more than 120 countries and regions worldwide.

In the Chinese market, the second generation of Isuzu D-MAX2014 was introduced to China by Jiangxi Isuzu Automobile Co., Ltd., which can be said to have created the personalized era of high-end pickup trucks in China. In May 2021, with the improvement of appearance level, configuration and technology, Jiangxi Isuzu D-MAX has changed from a simple tool attribute to a personalized model with both tool attributes and fashion attributes. In addition to the appearance level configuration, widely recognized by consumers and its strong power, all-around through and excellent safety

The strategy of diesel and steam opens the era of commercialization

With the weakening of the commercial label of pickup trucks in China, as well as the pilot from 2016 to the major cities, The State Council issued a fine management of pickup trucks and the implementation of new pickup trucks, China officially opened the prelude to the lifting of pickup trucks. Jiangxi Isuzu is also keen to smell the pickup boom, in May this year released the diesel steam strategy, highlighting the new bell extension gasoline pickup truck, further consolidate and seize the pickup market share. Today we will talk about the new gasoline pickup truck, how strong.

2.0T+ZF 8AT 动力可圈可点

This new powertrain is the biggest hardware change, so let's start with the driving experience. The 8AT, the 8HP of the famous ZF family appears in the configuration list of the model. Even the code is the same as the 8HP used by BMW, but the actual adjustment is different, after all, the use of scenarios and uses are completely different.

New bell Rio actual open feeling, there are two prominent changes, the code-4G20A6L 2.0T gasoline engine really low twist performance is very good, around 2000 turn can burst out 350 Nm of maximum torque, now I a member of the case, you can even feel a push back feeling, if full, I believe the performance of the engine will have a good speed performance, overtaking confidence will be stronger. On the other hand, this gearbox is really worthy of its name, the shift logic is smart enough, the shift speed is fast enough, not muddy, ZF 8HP is still sweet!

About chassis set-up, although the bearing body and the whole bridge set, but to tell the truth bell extension is not I imagine so uncomfortable, compared with my harvard H9, although you may feel the bridge after some bumps have slight bounce, but in pavement and urban roads, almost hard to detect the difference, only in fast through some big bumps, the rear wheel directly transfer vibration is relatively obvious. With the change of the powertrain, this more comfortable vibration filter effect is indeed more flattering.

Family design wild school appearance level responsibility

In terms of design, the gasoline version continues Isuzu's latest family design style, highly recognizable, the thick chrome-plated mesh looks hard enough, and the dive front line to create the current popular sports style. The consistent appearance reflects Isuzu's emphasis on its models, especially its "brother" models, in the inheritance of family elements.

Speaking of this, we have to take the appearance of the gasoline version, length, width and height of 5295mm x 1860 mm x 1830mm, such a car height, in the same class of models is not exaggerated, more dexterous body in real life will be much more convenient. The wheelbase reached 3095mm, of course, this length is almost equally distributed with the trunk, retaining sufficient ride space at the same time, the strong loading capacity is also a "just need".

Urban SUVs are both comfortable and exquisite

Into the bell extension gasoline version of the car, it is not hard to find the new car is not only to replace the powertrain so simple, the corresponding comfortable flower upgrade also made form a complete set, by the intelligent cockpit and even have a household SUV both visual feeling, double color console collocation with wooden grain panel, large area of piano paint is very delicate. In terms of configuration, multi-functional steering wheel, electronic handbrake, electronic handle, automatic parking these configurations are equipped. The front passengers are also equipped with warm electric heated seats, which are the most basic respect for the long winter, and the ergonomic leather seats also provide a more comfortable ride experience.

Bell billiton gasoline version, on the other hand, the sound insulation noise reduction improvement is not small, on the basis of the remaining bell extension tool attributes, give it more domestic comfortable car experience, quiet atmosphere like the city SUV, through a lot of the application of sound insulation, vibration material, build 360-degree NVH mute system will idle state and driving noise isolation, processing more exquisite. Compared to the hard appearance, the bell top gasoline version also shows a soft, comfortable side.

The large central control screen adopts the floating design style, and the narrow frame setting makes it look not bloated. There are quick touch buttons on both sides. The new generation of audio and video driving entertainment system can easily meet the entertainment needs of the car, and the Bluetooth connection is also very simple. The air conditioning panel below is still the traditional physical button, you can quickly start, and quickly find the corresponding functional partition, after all, easy to use is more clever than good.

Safety has the highest care and care of the bell pickup truck

The high-rigidity chassis design derived from the D-MAX, in addition to providing strong support in terms of off-road capability, the high-strength body and four-door anti-collision structure also provides sufficient precautions in terms of passive safety, bringing comprehensive external protection to the interior members of the car.

In terms of driver assistance, Lingtuo gasoline version also has a bright performance, FCW, RCW, BSD and other active warning systems also appear in its configuration list, before and after collision warning, and auxiliary technology configuration greatly minimize the probability of accidents, the driver can more easily control such a big guy. ESC, TCS and 360-degree panoramic driving also make driving simpler and safer.

Familiar with pickup friends will certainly enhance the bell Rio gasoline version in terms of comfort, work as to it is able to start with SUV some responsibilities, gasoline powered change for the importance of the north, more convenient use experience, faster heating effect will reflect in daily life, more positive output characteristics also let it driving feeling light a lot, cooperate with ZF 8AT in comfort and fuel economy will have a good performance.
