Test drive report： JAC Ruifeng M3PLUS has more space and stronger power.

Since its listing four years ago, it has accumulated more than 140,000 users, and its excellent product strength has been highly recognized by users. In order to fully meet the market demand, today’s long-axis version of PLUS was just launched in October, with a price range of 80,800-89,800. Compared with the previous models, the new car not only improved in space, but also further upgraded in power. So, specifically, what are the changes?

There are two models for home business to choose from.

PLUS is divided into maker version and IKEA version, of which maker version is mainly for business, while IKEA version is for home. In terms of appearance, the two models are different. First, on the air intake grille, the maker version on the left is two thick chrome-plated horizontal bars, and the visual shape looks very heavy.

On the right, there are three IKEA versions, and the shape is slimmer and looks younger and more refined. In addition, the two are all different in lighting, and the IKEA version has added a low beam lens and a new one than the maker version. Secondly, on the Internet, the IKEA version also integrates functions.

In terms of dimensions, the length, width and height of the IKEA version are 5145, 1765 and 1900mm, respectively, while the Maker version is 5075, 1765 and 1900 mm. Compared with the previous M3 version, the IKEA version has increased by 430mm, the Maker version has increased by 424mm, and both of them have increased by 300 mm.

On the other hand, both models are matched with Chaoyang RADIALRP26 series with specifications of 205/65R15. On the rim, the two models are also different. The IKEA version is equipped with petal-shaped aluminum alloy rims, which are very beautiful in shape, while the Maker version is equipped with steel rims, and the outer side is equipped with a silver rim cover. Although the shape is not as eye-catching as the IKEA version, it is practical, but it is also in line with its product positioning.

There is basically no difference between the square design of the rear end and the M3 ordinary version. The taillights are arranged longitudinally, all of which are halogen light sources, and there are four convenient and practical ones in the back.

PLUS adopts the torsion bar type independent front and the non-independent rear with strong bearing capacity.

The interior design is concise and practical.

In terms of interiors, PLUS adopts a black and gray color scheme, which looks warmer. The center is equipped with daily equipment such as radio, which is standard in all departments. The actual experience feedback of function buttons is clear, and the adjusting knob feels very good. The overall design and layout are reasonable, and you can do it blindly for a while.

The air outlet of the circular air conditioner is also chrome-plated, which adds a lot of points. The lower 5th gear lever is also integrated in the center console, which is convenient to use and also optimizes the spatial layout.

The double-circle display has a good effect and a large size, and it can read all kinds of vehicle data intuitively. A liquid crystal display screen is placed in the center, which can provide daily information such as display time,, and so on.

The front fabric seat supports manual adjustment in four directions, such as front and rear position and backrest angle, but it cannot be adjusted in height. However, there are handrails on the inside of the seat, which can relieve fatigue to some extent.

There are two cup holders in the center of the seat, and there is also a card slot, which is very convenient to place some fuel cards, high-speed pass cards, etc. At the back, there is an open storage compartment with anti-skid pads, which can be used to place items such as mobile phones without any problems.

Adopt electric lifting mode, and one side of the driver’s seat has a one-button lifting function.

Headlights with height adjustment, equipped with electric.

The rear row is equipped with an independent air outlet, a 12V power supply and a 5V2.4AUSB interface, and there is also a and at the bottom. The configuration is still very rich, which can fully take care of the comfort of the rear passengers.

The space advantage is obvious compared with the same class models.

Our car owners are a group of real businessmen, and their customers are mainly distributed in professional markets such as wholesale and retail, transportation, construction and fishery. In fact, this part of consumers’ demand for car purchase is the first choice for large space. Undoubtedly, larger space means that it can help them improve the efficiency of single transportation, and spend more time and earn more money while running fewer trips.

Therefore, the space aspect is a major advantage of PLUS. The whole vehicle reaches 3110mm, which is 300mm longer than that of the ordinary version, and the overall internal volume is increased by 0.9m3 compared with the ordinary version. The space has been fully optimized. For example, the second PLUS can be folded and hung directly, so that the loading space has been comprehensively improved compared with the models of the same class that are put down in proportion. The maximum depth from the front seat to the tailgate can reach 2870mm, the internal width is 1530mm, the internal height is 1295mm, and the maximum volume reaches 5685L L. At present, the largest sizes generally required in the building materials market are woodworking boards with a width of 1.2 meters and a length of 2.4 meters, as well as pipes and skirting lines with a length of 3 meters. These common building materials can be easily loaded by PLUS.

Thanks to the flexible space layout, the luggage compartment space of PLUS is excellent compared with its peers even when it is full of passengers. Taking cuboid cartons with length, width and height of 34 cm, 20cm and 20 cm respectively as reference objects, the luggage compartment space of PLUS can accommodate 7 cartons horizontally, 2 cartons vertically and 6 cartons vertically, which are arranged in double rows, and a total of 40 cartons can be placed in the whole rear luggage compartment. However, under the same horizontal and vertical space, cars of the same class can only accommodate one carton in the vertical direction and can only be arranged in a single row, and only 20 cartons can be placed in the trunk space. It is not difficult to see that the advantages of PLUS space are obvious compared with competing models.

1.8 liters meets the national six standards, and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is only 8.5 liters.

Of course, while the space is improved, the power performance and load-bearing performance of the PLUS vehicle have also been upgraded accordingly. In terms of power, the whole vehicle is equipped with a 1.8L naturally aspirated machine from Liuji, with 98kW(133Ps)/5600rpm and a peak torque of 182Nm/3600-4400rpm. Compared with the original M3 model, the power is increased by 12%.

This model adopts 8 holes, and the fuel atomization is good and low, and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is only 8.5L/100km, which meets the requirements of National Sixth. In terms of bearing capacity, the overall bearing capacity of the optimized axle of PLUS has increased by 25%, which can reach 1.5 tons. With the reinforced type with higher bearing capacity, it can meet the needs of users under different working conditions.

In the actual test drive experience, the first thing is that the driving position is relatively high and the vision is very broad. In terms of power, the brand-new 1.8 liter has a good power reserve at the start and mid-course acceleration, and the throttle is sensitive. You will feel the power output when you tap the throttle. When switching between different gears, it can always be in a better economic speed range. In terms of control, the steering wheel is equipped with electronic power, and the steering is still very easy.

The matching fifth gear shift is also very smooth, and you won’t feel very rough. There is no feeling of sloppiness in the shift, and the shift is very clear. The NVH of the whole vehicle has also been further improved. In the driving process, the noise inside the PLUS vehicle is less than that of the same class, and the driving comfort performance advantage of the whole vehicle is obvious.

Summary:

As a long-axis model, the advantage of the PLUS in space is still obvious. The performance of 3.1 meters is eye-catching, and more space can create more value for users. In terms of power, it has also been upgraded to 1.8L, and it also meets the requirements of National Six. Especially in terms of security, the whole department also comes standard with ABS+EBD, monitoring and early warning, stability system and other rich security configurations, which is quite kind. Combined with the price range of 8.08-8.98 million, there are basically no shortcomings in this car. PLUS products have suitable models to choose from for both home and business. I believe that with these advantages, it will also be favored by the majority of users, and the future market performance is worth looking forward to!
