My Years As a Car Dealer

Chapter 0317: Mitsubishi Outlander vs Toyota rav4 (1)

The village of Hardan Bartel is in the mountains, at the junction of the northeast, neimeng and imperial capital.

Surrounded by mountains, there are thousands of mountains and valleys, dense forests, not far from the border, not far from the sea.

(Dear brothers and sisters, there is no such place in China in reality, it is just made up for the plot needs.)

Since the roads leading into the mountain are all simple roads, it is inevitable that there are potholes, so Hardan Bartel asked everyone to take his SUV back to the mountain village.

Zhang Chen was worried that the Audi A6 allroad could not adapt to the road conditions, and did not insist, so he walked to the parking lot with Hardan Bartel.

Walking on the road, Zhang Chen kept guessing what SUV Hardan Bartel was driving. After all, he was a big boss. I heard that he was still the mayor of the village. It was estimated that he was not driving a Land Rover, a BMW X5, a Mercedes-Benz Grand G, or even a higher-end car. Also a possibility.

When everyone found out that Hardan Bartel had walked in front of a white SUV, not only Zhang Chen was dumbfounded, but Wang Keqiang and others were also stunned, very depressed, such a rich and powerful boss like Hardan Bartel would drive such a car?

Because this is a white compact SUV, the Mitsubishi Outlander.

Among the compact SUVs, the top three are the Japanese giants, Honda's CR-V, Nissan's X-Trail and Toyota's RAV4.

These three compact SUVs are solid and durable, with good quality, high sales, and good customer reputation. They are very popular with car dealers in the used car market and sought after by buyers.

But there is another Japanese brand, which is very, very lacking in existence compared to these three magic cars, as if it has been forgotten. It is the Mitsubishi Outlander.

The white compact SUV in front of you is a 2016 domestically produced 2.4L four-wheel drive elite version of the 5-seat Mitsubishi Outlander.

This Outlander is a 5-door, 5-seat SUV with a length of 4705 mm, a width of 1810 mm and a height of 1710 mm.

Compared with the 2018 Toyota 2018 2.5L automatic four-wheel-drive elite i version RAV4, which is also a four-wheel drive, it is also a 5-door and 5-seat compact SUV. The rav4 is 4600 mm long, 1845 mm wide and 1690 mm high, and the Mitsubishi Outlander even accounts for a little For the advantage, the size is slightly larger.

The Mitsubishi Outlander is equipped with a 2.4L192 horsepower L4 engine, CVT continuously variable transmission (simulated 6-speed) gearbox, the maximum power is 141, the maximum torque is 235, the maximum speed is 195, and the zero-hundred speed is 10.1 seconds.

Toyota rav4 Rongfang is equipped with a 2.5L 180-horsepower L4 engine, 6-speed manual transmission, with a maximum power of 132, a maximum torque of 234, a maximum speed of 180, and an acceleration of 10.75 seconds.

The basic parameters of the two are similar, but in terms of fuel consumption, the average fuel consumption of the Outlander is about ten, and the Toyota rav4 is placed at about eight.

(The average fuel consumption is based on a combination of high-speed, urban congested roads, etc. measured.)

In addition, the CVT gearbox of Mitsubishi Outlander comes from Jacto, which is controlled by Nissan. Nissan itself also uses this brand of CVT gearbox, which has the same cold protection problem as Qijun.

X-Trail's CVT transmission cold protection problem is very annoying. When the transmission is cold protected, the transmission does not upshift. Even if the accelerator is kicked into the engine compartment, the speed will not increase to twenty, while the Mitsubishi Outlander has no such trouble.

It is said that Nissan Qijun removed a heating device of the CVT gearbox in order to save costs, which caused the water temperature to rise very slowly, and the speed of the car could not be increased.

The Mitsubishi Outlander has this heating device. When starting in winter, keep the engine speed relatively high, so that the water temperature rises rapidly, thereby heating the transmission oil, so that the transmission can quickly reach the working temperature, and will not directly limit the car. quick consequences.

This process only takes a few minutes. Maybe the car owner didn't feel any difference, the cold protection has been lifted, and the car can run normally.

Mitsubishi Oulan does not directly limit the speed of the car like Nissan, but the CVT gearbox it is equipped with is a lot worse than the 6AT manual gearbox that Toyota rav4 Rong put.

Because AT gearbox is the most perfect.

There are three types of engine gearboxes, AT gearbox, CVT gearbox and dual clutch gearbox.

The dual-clutch gearbox is divided into dry dual-clutch, which is generally equipped in low-end Volkswagen models, and wet dual-clutch, which is generally equipped in high-end models.
