The appearance of long-wheelbase models is also more distinguished.
Both the long wheelbase version and the standard wheelbase version cost less than 400,000. How can this 400 thousand flower be reflected? Therefore, Bentley has made changes in the appearance of the long wheelbase version, and the technique is extremely accurate and direct. Then make a fuss about the front face. The long wheelbase version of the net was directly replaced by a vertical row. This design is obviously more noble and imposing. If you compare the standard wheelbase version, I think most people will choose the long wheelbase version. After all, no one who buys this class will lose this 400 thousand.
We took the test drive to the extreme and it was an elegant version with a long wheelbase. In short, it is more distinguished, and the chrome decoration on the front face is obviously more expensive. In this respect, Bentley is quite clever, and spending more money will have the effect of spending more money.
In terms of body size, the wheelbase of the long wheelbase version has increased from 2995mm to 3 175mm, and the length of the whole vehicle has reached 5322mm, and all the extensions are applied to the rear row, so it can be clearly seen that its rear door is longer than the front door. Now the body size has completely exceeded the long wheelbase version of Land Rover Range Rover, but there is still a gap compared with Cullinan. ?
Compared with the standard wheelbase version, there is no difference in the shape of the tail. The exhaust layout at the bottom is bilateral * * *, which also means that this car is equipped with V8 4.0T engine, and the W 12 version no longer exists.
In terms of appearance, I think maybe 90% of consumers will choose the long wheelbase version because it does look more luxurious. In addition, the long wheelbase version of the body does look longer. Obviously, it can be seen that most people's reaction is that its body side ratio looks uncoordinated. I feel that there are advantages and disadvantages. After all, the growth of the back row space is more obvious. Let's talk about this next.
The interior is also more luxurious.
For the interior, on the basis of the existing models, the long-wheelbase version of Tim Yue added Duya's exclusive logo on the center console decorative board and the front seat in front of the co-pilot to enhance the sense of dignity. In addition, the long wheelbase version of the ambient light is also different from the ordinary version, and the overall luxury grade is stronger. ?
As a top luxury brand, the interior materials of Tim Yue's long wheelbase models are of course top-notch. Whether it is the leather-covered texture of the interior or the knobs of various center consoles, it is top-notch.
The extended wheelbase in the rear row can provide a very luxurious and practical experience. The right rear seat can support one lying down, and with the tripod, this Bentley Tim can be upgraded to an executive class car in an instant. It is worth mentioning that the rear door of the long wheelbase version is electrically closed. Press and hold the middle key, and the back door will close automatically.
On the whole, the addition of a long wheelbase focuses on improving the riding experience of the rear row, especially after the wheelbase is lengthened, the legroom of the rear row becomes extremely abundant, which also changes the use and is more competitive in the SUV camp of luxury brands.
Calm momentum?
At present, Bentley's W 12 engine has been completely discontinued, so there are only two power specifications to choose from, namely, the fuel version 4.0T V8 and the plug-in hybrid version 3.0TV6 At present, the long wheelbase version Tim Yue has only one power specification, namely, 4.0T V8 pure fuel. With 8AT gearbox, the maximum power is 542 HP, the peak torque is 770 Nm, and the officially announced 0- 100km/h acceleration time is only 4.6 seconds. ?
In fact, it is meaningless to discuss how the power feels, because for this luxury brand model, what you need to pay attention to is whether it is easy to drive if you drive it yourself. The positioning of the long-wheelbase version of Tim Yue is mostly biased towards administrative models, so the power output style is lazy, because it is friendly enough for passengers and will not produce a feeling of being too abrupt. If you want to drive by yourself, no problem. Adjust the driving mode to Bentley mode or sports mode, and this car can still show passion.
The vibration filtering ability of the chassis is of course first-class. Three-cavity air spring is the top equipment of Volkswagen Group at present, but the chassis character of this Bentley Tim Yue is still a little beyond my expectation. I thought it would be as soft as Cullinan and not feel the vibration of the road at all, but it is not. Engineers still kept a 2% sense of road for it. It seems that the Bentley brand does have sports genes in its bones, which is the same for any model.
I'm not sure whether this car will launch a plug-in hybrid version in the future. If so, it is believed that its driving quality will be improved, its dynamic response will be more sensitive, and its NVH and other performances will be further improved. In fact, for this luxury model, power consumption is more correct. ?
abstract
The launch of the long-wheelbase version of Tim Yue is very wise, because the arrival of Cullinan has really robbed some markets, even though their prices are quite different. This long wheelbase version of Tim Yue is quite imposing on the road, which can attract the attention of passers-by and prove that its design is successful. In addition, the extended rear row is also quite practical. It can be said that this is the most spacious model in the back row of Bentley at present, and I think it is much more cost-effective than buying a speeding car.
