Geely Panda Central Control Details
Geely Panda Central Control Details Geely Panda's center console layout is simple and lovely. The interior is designed in black and beige. The front seat can be manually adjusted in four directions, and the adjustment control lever is located on both sides of the seat. Sitting in the front row, you can feel the protection of the seat to all parts of the body, including the overall package and support for the legs. The small and flexible temper suitable for urban driving/direction assistance makes people uncomfortable with gossip, so I'll cut to the chase and immediately start the introduction of driving.
Geely panda engine looks at the heart first. The 1.3L engine with the number of MR479Q can release the maximum torque of110n m at 5200 rpm and the maximum power of 63 kW (about 85.6 horsepower) at 6000 rpm. It can be said that this MR479Q engine, as the most widely used small displacement engine in Geely, is relatively mature in technology. From the data alone, this engine is basically the same as several common engines with the same displacement 1.8L on the market at present, which belongs to the medium level.

Minimum turning diameter In terms of daily driving, this car is more suitable for driving on urban roads with fast traffic. With its smart body and flexible steering at low speed, it can be relaxed. The 1.3L music version we tested has no reversing radar, but even beginners don't have to worry. The panda's short body makes its left and right turning diameters reach 9.9 meters and 10.2 meters respectively, and with a good view, it can easily cope even if it turns around or stops in a narrow community.
Compared with ordinary family cars, the clutch of Geely Panda Panda is slightly heavier and the joint position is obvious. In addition, the process of trampling is bumpy, and it takes some time to get used to driving for the first time. Fortunately, it's a long journey, and I basically use my thighs when driving. I won't feel too tired when I stop and go in the city.
Although Geely Panda belongs to the category of high-speed engine, because of its light body, it won't feel fleshy when starting at low speed, but it feels very light. The grip of the ball teeth is a little thin, and the shift process is relatively stable. The disadvantage is that the position of the first gear and the fifth gear is not clear enough, and the distance between the gears is relatively long. I tried to shift to fifth gear several times, but I was accidentally pushed to third gear. Fortunately, the gear of the gearbox is tighter than the design, and the feeling of acceleration is smoother. If you switch to aggressive driving, occasionally step on the full throttle of both feet to increase the speed to 5000 rpm and then shift gears, you can also have a slight explosion in front of the "big guys" around you.
The chassis of Geely Panda Panda feels a bit like a "hard-core student". When the vehicle passes through some potholes at low speed, the suspension performance is relatively simple, the ability of suspension to absorb the road surface is not bad, and the vibration is not obvious. At high speed, the situation is different, the suspension stroke is short, the drag force of the shock absorber can't restrain the strength of the spring, and the redundant bounce will increase with the increase of vehicle speed.
When Geely Panda passes through some rugged road conditions, its rear wheels sometimes bounce off the ground instantly. If you are turning at this time, it is easy for the panda's tail to find its way and move sideways. Therefore, when passing through the expressway ramp or overpass bridge, it is necessary to control the speed and pay attention to the potholes and undulations of the road surface.
Geely panda
Geely panda let's turn the topic back to cars. Pandas use speed-assisted steering wheels. It will increase the strength of the steering wheel according to the change of vehicle speed, so as to be light and flexible at low speed and stable and safe at high speed. We don't know which version of the power assist system it uses, but the panda's steering wheel seems a little uncomfortable. Below 30 kilometers, its strength is very gentle, and it can be easily pushed with one finger. Over 40 kilometers, its weight will increase a lot, the change of strength is not smooth enough, and it feels a little sudden. When you accelerate to 100 km, it feels more like driving an old bus 20 years ago. Although the metaphor is exaggerated, the panda's steering wheel is really heavy at high speed, and it feels rough to control. Reasonable fuel consumption/ideal noise control For a family car, people are more concerned about whether its fuel consumption is economical. * * * 285.6 kilometers, two passengers, trunk load of about 30 kg. During this time, the environment of urban traffic jam, urban ring road and expressway was simulated, and the fuel consumption was 20.22 liters. Finally, the actual fuel consumption of Panda 1.3L model is 7.07 liters per 100 kilometers.
Geely Panda Fuel Consumption Test
Geely Panda's Fuel Consumption Test We need to say one more thing about the fuel consumption test. The test of fuel consumption performance in Beijing's urban loop is more severe. The average speed of the Fourth Ring Road and the Fifth Ring Road is higher than 60 kilometers per hour, so we deliberately chose a more congested line for testing. We are satisfied with the fuel consumption of 7.07 liters. I believe that if we are more accurate in grasping the throttle, shift timing and brake temperature, the fuel consumption performance should be more ideal.
Deviation of Geely Panda speedometer
In addition to the adjustment of suspension system mentioned above, the adjustment of various instruments can also reflect the care and meticulous degree of a car model in technology and details, and the deviation of speedometer is one of the inspection standards. Panda's speedometer deviation, under the speedometer of 60km/h, 80km/h and 120km/h, the actual speeds obtained by the tester are 57km/h, 77km/h and 1 17km/h respectively. There is little difference between the actual speed and the speed displayed by the instrument, and the deviation at each speed is the same, indicating that the manufacturer is at the same speed.
In the noise test of Geely Panda, the panda appears very quiet when idling, but when the speed reaches a certain value, the engine noise is very obvious. At the speeds of 60 km/h and 80 km/h, the noise is 68 and 7 1 dB, respectively. Most of the noise at this time comes from the vibration of some parts in the car, but in 1 10 km/h, there is still a big gap between the independent brands and some joint venture brands we have tested. Thus, if China people's independent products want to reach the level of joint venture brand models, they still need to work hard on some details. Acceleration and ride comfort/braking performance need to be improved. For a mini-car like Geely Panda, acceleration performance is by no means its strong point. We didn't expect much at first. However, the panda's power of 63kW is more than enough to propel the car body in less than1t.
Geely Panda's acceleration test deliberately increased some speed, stepped on the accelerator for 3500 revolutions, then lifted the clutch and followed with full throttle. The tire obviously doesn't adapt to this intense starting mode, and the front wheel slips badly, which also makes it lose a lot of time. This startup mode doesn't work. Go back to the starting point and do it again, stabilize the throttle at around 2800 rpm, and slowly lift the clutch. At this time, the tire is still idling, but it will soon regain its grip and improve its performance. It seems that this is the best way to start.
Geely Panda Acceleration Test It is not difficult to see from the graph that the power release will have a small climax after starting the first gear, and the power release will become much milder when shifting into the second gear about 4 seconds after starting. In addition, although the gear setting is not very comfortable, it is good that the gear ratio is relatively compact, which does not interfere much with the release of power and can still maintain a relatively stable speed-up process. The final test score is 14 seconds, which is quite satisfactory among mini-cars of the same class.
The braking test of Geely Panda is followed by the braking test. In this test, we will perform 100-0km emergency braking for 10 times. In addition to obtaining detailed braking distance data, the most important thing is to check whether the braking system can withstand such a high-strength test and whether its brakes will experience thermal attenuation. Geely Panda uses front disc and rear drum brakes. Although today is the world of front and rear disc brakes, Panda has simplified the braking system in order to control the vehicle cost, but then again, among many vehicles of the same class, the combination of front disc brakes and rear drum brakes is still relatively common.
In the process of full braking, the posture of Geely Panda is somewhat exaggerated. The lower edge of the front of the car almost touches the ground, and the rear of the car is obviously upturned. The rear suspension has been stretched to the limit. At the beginning of braking, I felt more sensitive and slowed down more obviously, but after I continued to step deeply, my side became more linear. Finally, the best braking performance we measured was 45.3 meters.
After several consecutive braking tests of Geely Panda, the panda's braking system seemed to be unable to support, and began to show thermal attenuation, and the braking distance began to increase slowly. Until the tenth test, the front brake pad simply smoked, and the braking performance reached a distance of nearly 50 meters. After ten tests, the best score is nearly 5 meters more than the last test. This shows that Geely Panda still has a lot of room for improvement in braking system performance, especially in durability. The body size is small, and it is easier to handle at the limit. In the previous driving process, we have learned something about the handling of pandas. Because of its short and flexible body, we believe that its performance in extreme driving around piles and parallel lines should not be too bad, but can a tire with plain steering and average adhesion stand such a test? We are still a little confused. ....
The first test of Geely Panda around the pile was at180m, and the steering wheel still felt rough and pointed a little slowly. Fortunately, after several attempts, we have gradually got used to the feeling of this direction and found the trick to control the car. When entering the corner, we can do it half a beat in advance and let the car enter the corner according to your expected route.
However, due to the cost, the tires used by Geely Panda are not high in grade and hard in texture, and some of them can't catch when the center of gravity of the car body keeps shifting. Although the panda's steering system is not sensitive enough, its tail is flexible and willing to follow the direction of the front of the car. But this swing, coupled with the tire that can't grasp the ground, becomes sideslip when turning. Fortunately, the range is not large, and some corrections can be made in time to immediately put the small body back on the right track. The final test result is 62.2 km/h, which is a good result for such a mini-car without any electronic auxiliary system. Next, the emergency parallel test of 1 10 meter is mainly to simulate the situation of avoiding obstacles in the front lane at high speed and test the vehicle's ability to avoid danger at high speed.
When the speed of Geely Panda is over 65,438+000 km/h, the panda's steering assistance will become heavier and more laborious. Just now, some tires around the pile that can't stand the test slipped more unscrupulously in the emergency parallel test, and the side slip was very obvious when driving out of the corner. At this time, the steering wheel needs to be reversed greatly. Although it seems exaggerated, it is not too difficult to save the car because of its flexible body.
During the whole process of piling, the suspension of Geely Panda seems to be a little soft, and it will show obvious inclination when bypassing each pile bucket. In addition, there will be some unnecessary shaking of the car body when returning to the right direction, and it is really beyond words that its steering is not allowed. Looking back at the final test results, it actually reached 1 10 km/h, which proves that the intelligent body and short wheelbase are very helpful to improve the handling performance of the vehicle. Summary of driving and performance advantages and disadvantages of Geely Panda: Advantages: The power of 1.3 liter engine is sufficient for this scooter with a weight of less than 1 ton, and it is compatible with fuel economy. The short body and wheelbase improve the flexibility of vehicle handling. Disadvantages: directional assistance is not linear enough. It is rough at high speed, the suspension is not well adjusted, and the gear setting is a little fuzzy. Test summary: From the overall performance, Panda, as a self-owned brand mini-car, is quite satisfactory in fuel economy, and its 1.3-liter engine power is also sufficient. As far as handling is concerned, driving is quite fun as long as you master the tricks of handling. In addition, its shortcomings are obvious, such as its power steering and suspension adjustment are still a little imperfect. For a family mini-car like Panda, the above test seems harsh, but the more harsh the test, the easier it is to find problems and shortcomings, especially the flaws in details. In recent years, the growth of domestic independent brands is obvious to all. While our independent brands are growing rapidly, some problems are exposed, that is, blindly pursuing perfection and ignoring the grasp of details, which is closely related to the brand's influence and reputation. Here we also sincerely hope that domestic brands will be more perfect and mature in the future.
