Manaʻo ʻo Mercedes X-Class - ʻohi kiʻekiʻe

He kaʻa kaʻa me ka hōkū ma ka puʻu? Kainō? Ua ʻike ʻo Daimler i ka hiki i ka māhele SUV a ua hoʻoholo e hoʻopiha iā ia me kahi kumu hoʻohālike.

ʻAʻole hou ka manaʻo o kahi kaʻa kaʻa; akā, ua like ia me ka ʻoihana kaʻa ponoʻī. ʻO ka pono o ka lawe ʻana i nā ukana i koi ai i ka noho kaʻa hope e hāʻawi i kahi paʻa hāmama, a no laila ua hoʻomaka. 

ʻO ka mea maʻamau, ʻo nā mākeke nui loa ʻo ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, a ukali ʻia e Thailand a me Australia, akā inā ʻoe e nānā i nā ʻāpana, kaulana loa nā kaʻa pickup, no ka laʻana. a puni ʻo ʻAmelika Latina a me ka Hikina Waena. Ma ke ʻano o ke kūʻai ʻana, ua ulu nui ka ulu ʻana i nā makahiki he ʻumi i hala - ma Australia a me ʻAmelika Hema, ua aneane pālua ke kūʻai ʻana i nā kaʻa kaʻa mai ka makahiki 2005, a ke manaʻo ʻia nei ka ulu hou ʻana i nā makahiki e hiki mai ana. Ua kau ʻia nā manaʻolana kiʻekiʻe ma Argentina a me Brazil, nā ʻāina nui loa ma ka ʻāina, kahi i manaʻo ʻia e ulu i nā kūʻai aku ma kahi o 40% i nā makahiki he ʻumi e hiki mai ana. Ma kēia kūlana, hoʻomaka ka nui o nā ʻoihana e noʻonoʻo koʻikoʻi e komo i ka mākeke pickup hoihoi. Ua hana mua lākou i kēia me ke kōkua o nā hoa hana ʻike, ʻo ka Fiat a me Renault brand. ʻO ka manawa kēia no Mercedes e lawe mai i ka maikaʻi maikaʻi i ka ʻāpana pickup midsize.

Ma mua o ka noʻonoʻo ʻana no wai ka Mercedes pickup, e nānā kākou i ka lineup Mercedes-Benz Vans. Loaʻa i ka hāʻawi ʻekolu mau hiʻohiʻona o nā vans i hāʻawi ʻia i nā ʻano hoʻonohonoho like ʻole. Eia nō naʻe, ʻo ke ʻano hou loa i ka mākeke kaʻa lawe kaʻa ʻo kēlā me kēia mea hana i ka piha piha o nā kaʻa kalepa, pono e kōkua i ka huki ʻana i nā mea kūʻai aku e kauoha i nā kaʻa like ʻole i ka nui. ʻO ia ke kumu i hui pū ai ʻo Fiat lāua ʻo Renault i ka papa o nā pahu pickup, ʻoiai ua hana ʻia e nā hoa - Fiat Fullback mai Mitsubishi, a me Renault Alaskan mai Nissan. E hana like me ka Mercedes-Benz X-Class hou.

ʻO ka hoa o Mercedes ʻo Nissan-Renault, no laila ʻaʻole paʻakikī ke kuhi i kēia hihia, ua hoʻouna ka Nissan NP300 hou i kāna mau hoʻoholo. ʻAe ʻo Mercedes i ka hōʻaiʻē ʻana i ke kumu kumu a me ke kumu 2,3-lita diesel engine, ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi o ke koena, hoʻolālā hou ʻia a lawe ʻia mai ka papa Mercedes. ʻOiaʻiʻo, ma kēia pae, ʻaʻole makemake ʻo Mercedes e hōʻike i nā kikoʻī āpau o ka hoʻolālā, akā ua ʻike mākou i nā mea nui loa.

E like me ka Citan, ua hoʻopaʻa ʻo Mercedes i ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana e hoʻohālikelike i ka hōʻoluʻolu o ka holo me ka hōkū ma ka puʻu, ʻoiai e waiho ana i nā puna lau ma ke axle hope. Pono ka ʻōnaehana kaʻa i waho o ke alanui, ʻo ia hoʻi. e loaʻa i ka mea kūʻai ke kaʻa paʻa ma nā axles ʻelua, kahi pahu hoʻemi, kahi axle hope paʻa a me kahi ʻokoʻa hope a me ke kikowaena. ʻO ka manaʻo nui loa ʻo ia ka hoʻolaha ʻana o kahi kumu kumu mana ʻē aʻe, ʻo ia ka ʻekolu lita V6 turbodiesel o kā mākou hana ponoʻī, akā ʻaʻole ʻike ʻia inā e lawe pololei ʻia mai ka Sprinter (190 hp) a i ʻole e ʻike ʻia i loko. ʻoi aku ka ikaika o nā kikoʻī, e like me nā mea i loaʻa i nā kaʻa. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Mercedes e makemake ʻo ia e lilo i mea maikaʻi loa i kēlā me kēia ʻāpana, no laila pono ia e lanakila i ka Volkswagen Amarok, e hāʻawi ana i kahi ʻenekini 6bhp V3.0 224 kiʻekiʻe.

Noho mālie nā mea hoʻolālā e pili ana i ke kino. ʻAʻole i ʻike ʻia ka nui o kāna kani ʻana iā Nissan, a ua ʻike ʻia ua hoʻolālā ʻia nā ʻāpana āpau o ka ʻili mai ka wā ʻōpala. ʻO nā Stylistic i hoʻāla i ka makaʻu, ʻo ia hoʻi. ʻO ka hiki ke hoʻololi i nā mea, no ka laʻana, mai ka C-class i kahi kumu hoʻohālike ʻē aʻe, akā ua hoʻohuli ʻia lākou i kūpono ʻole. Ua hoʻomohala ʻo Mercedes i nā kukui i kahi ʻano hou loa no ka brand. Inā paha he hōʻike mua kēia o kahi laina hoʻolālā hou no nā hiʻohiʻona pono, ʻaʻole mākou e ʻike a hiki i ʻelua makahiki mai kēia manawa, i ka manawa e mākaukau ai ka hoʻolālā ʻana o ka hope o Sprinter o kēia manawa. Ua kūpono nā ʻōpuʻu hou i ke kaʻa.

ʻElua mau hiʻohiʻona manaʻo i hōʻike ʻia ma Stockholm. ʻO ke keʻokeʻo ke koho maʻamau a ʻo ia ka mea kokoke loa i hiki iā mākou ke manaʻo mai ka mana hope. ʻAʻole e hoʻololi nui ka kāʻei mua, ʻaʻole hiki ke ʻōlelo ʻia e pili ana i ka hope. ʻOi aku ka liʻiliʻi o ka bezel LED a puni ka huelo, ʻoi aku ka nui o nā puʻupuʻu i ke ʻano i manaʻo ʻia i ka holoholona melemele. ʻO ke kaʻa ʻelua he hiʻohiʻona o ke ʻano o ka X-Class inā mākou e koho i kekahi mau mea ʻē aʻe ma ka papa inoa o nā lako koho a kau i nā kaila M/T āpau āpau. ʻO ka hope loa, hiki i ka X-Class ke kauoha kokoke i nā mea a pau e hāʻawi ʻia e nā mea hana ʻē aʻe, e komo pū me nā uhi kaʻa ukana, nā uhi snorkel a me nā papa skid.

ʻOiai ʻo ka chassis a me ke kino i hoʻoulu ʻia e ka Nissan NP300, ʻo 100% Mercedes-Benz ka loko. Ua lawe ʻo Daimler i ka hoʻolālā ʻana o ka Citan i ka puʻuwai a ma kēia hihia i manaʻo ai ka poʻe holo e like me lākou i loko o kahi kaʻa premium maoli. ʻO ke ʻano o ka dashboard, ka uaki a me nā pihi, a me nā mea i hoʻohana ʻia, e hōʻike ana he Mercedes maoli kēia a ʻaʻole ʻo Nissan me kahi hōʻailona hui i hoʻololi ʻia. Pili kēia i nā ʻōnaehana multimedia a me ka palekana, i kūkulu ʻia ma Kelemānia.

Hana ʻia ka hana ʻana ma ʻelua mau mea kanu Nissan. ʻO ka mea mua ma Córdoba, Argentina, e kūkulu i ka X-Class no kāna mau mākeke a me Brazil. ʻO nā mākeke ʻē aʻe a pau, ʻo ia hoʻi ke koena o Latin America, ʻEulopa, Rūsia, ka Caucasus, ʻApelika Hema, Australia a me New Zealand, e "lawe ʻia" e kahi mea kanu ʻEulopa e kokoke ana i Barcelona.

ʻAʻohe manaʻo o Mercedes e hoʻokuʻu i ka X-Class ma US. ʻO ka mea mua, no ka mea, he koho waena ia, a makemake ka poʻe ʻAmelika i nā pickup nui aʻe, i kapa ʻia ʻo ka piha piha ponoʻī. ʻO ka lua, ʻoi aku paha ka mea nui, ʻo ke kumu ka 60% duty ma kēia ʻano kaʻa i kau ʻia ma US mai ka makahiki 25. Hoʻohana ʻia no nā kaʻa ʻeke a pau i hana ʻia ma waho o nā ʻāina NAFTA (Kanada, USA, Mexico). Ua ʻoi aku paha ma mua o ka lanakila ʻana iā Lincoln, nāna i hoʻāʻo e kūʻai aku i kahi kaʻa kaʻa i hoʻolako pono ʻia (nā kumu hoʻohālike: Blackwood a me LT).

Inā ʻaʻole maopopo ka poʻe ʻAmelika i ka manaʻo o kahi kaʻa kaʻa kaʻa, ʻo wai ka mea e hoʻolālā nei ʻo Mercedes me kāna X-Class? He nīnau maikaʻi loa kēia no ka ʻoiaʻiʻo e hoʻohana mau ʻia nā kaʻa kipi ma ke ʻano he kaʻa kalepa a ʻaʻole hoʻohana ʻia no nā kumu ʻē aʻe. ʻOiaʻiʻo, ʻo kēia ka hihia ma ʻEulopa, akā inā mākou e nānā i ka huahana mai ka manaʻo o nā mākeke nui ʻē aʻe, ʻike ʻia ua loli nui ka manaʻo o kēia mau kaʻa i nā makahiki ʻelua i hala aku nei a me ka kaulana o ka versatile double cab. ke hoʻomau nei ka ulu ʻana o nā koho. Hoʻohana ʻia lākou ma ke ʻano like me nā komvans i kapa ʻia ma ʻEulopa, e hana ana e like me nā kaʻa ʻohana no ka hoʻohana pilikino i kēlā me kēia lā, akā hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia no ka hana inā pono.

ʻO Volker Mornhinweg, ke poʻo o Mercedes-Benz Vans, e kuhikuhi ana i ka X-Class e kuhikuhi ana i nā mea kūʻai aku ʻaʻole i noʻonoʻo e kūʻai i kahi pickup ma mua. Manaʻo ʻia e hana hou i ke kūlana i hana ʻia i ka makahiki 1997, i ka wā i hoʻolauna ai ʻo Mercedes i ka papa ML, a laila e koi ana i kāna mau mea hoʻokūkū e lilo i hoihoi i ka mākeke SUV wikiwiki. ʻO ka Mercedes pickup kahi kaʻa e kōkua ai i ka hoʻomau ʻana a kūpono hoʻi i ka laulā o nā kaʻa kalepa, e ʻae ana i ka brand ke hāʻawi i kahi ʻano piha o kēia ʻano kaʻa. 

ʻO nā Mercedes X-Class ʻelua mau prototypes, ʻoiai ua kokoke loa lākou i ka mana hana. Hoʻomaka ka hoʻomaka ma ka mākeke no ka hopena o 2017. A laila e ʻike mākou i ka ʻikepili ʻenehana, ka nānā hope, nā kumukūʻai a hiki iā mākou ke loiloi i ke kaʻa ma ke alanui. I kēia manawa, ʻo ka mea a mākou e ʻike ai ʻaʻole e kū wale ka Mercedes X-Class ma ke ʻano he kaʻa kaʻa paʻa ikaika a paʻa. Me ka nui o ka uku (a hiki i ka 1,2t), ka hoʻoikaika ikaika (a hiki i ka 3,5t) a i ʻole ka hana ma waho o ke alanui, e kūlike ia i nā hoʻolālā maikaʻi loa i kāna papa, no laila hiki iā ʻoe ke hilinaʻi iā ia me nā hana paʻakikī me ka makaʻu ʻole. Ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe, hāʻawi ia i kahi loko i ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ke komo ʻana i loko o ka ʻaʻahu ma mua o nā lole hana, no laila ʻaʻole ia e hoʻopau i nā mea kūʻai aku koi no lākou ʻaʻole e poina i nā ʻano ʻoi loa o nā pickups e pili ana i ke ʻano utilitarian o ke kaʻa.
