Hōʻoia hōʻoia Jaguar XE

Ua huki ʻo Ian Callum i kahi kaʻa e hiki ke hoʻohui paʻa ʻia me ka lineup Jaguar. ʻO ka hopena he XF i hoʻoliʻiliʻi ʻia me ka aristocratic XJ a me nā kuhi lahilahi o kahi haʻuki F-Type ...

"Gas, gas, gas," wahi a ke kumu. "E neʻe i waho a lohi i lalo!" A, e kau ana ma luna o nā kāʻei i ka wā o ka deceleration ʻoi aku, hoʻomau ʻo ia: "E hoʻokele i ka huila ma ka hema, a wehe hou." ʻAʻole hiki iaʻu ke ʻōlelo: ma ke ono o ka ʻāpana o ka Spanish Circuito de Navarra, ua ʻike mua wau i nā ala āpau a me nā wahi braking, e hoʻoponopono ana i ka manawa maikaʻi loa ma hope o ka ʻūhā. Mementally shrugging off the anstructor, I went into the turn too fast, oi iki aku mamua o ka mea e pono ai, huki i ka huila ma ka hema, a nahaha koke ke kaa i ka skid. ʻO kahi pōkole pōkole o ka huila hoʻokele ma ka ʻākau, ʻo ka ʻōnaehana stabilization e hopu maʻalahi i nā kaʻa, a wikiwiki hou mākou i mua i ka throttle piha - ka hoʻonohonoho asphalt kūpono.

Pono wau e ʻōlelo i ka manawa no ka hōʻike ʻana o ka hui XE sedan ʻo Jaguar i koho maikaʻi. Ua lilo ka BMW 3-Series haʻuki sedan ʻāpana maʻamau i mea hoʻopili hou aʻe a kumukūʻai hoʻi. Ke pāʻani nei ʻo Audi lāua ʻo Mercedes i ka hōʻoluʻolu, hoʻomau ka ʻimi ʻana o nā Kepanī mai Infiniti a me Lexus i ko lāua ala, a ke paʻakikī nei nō ka mīkini ʻo Cadillac i ka mākeke ʻEulopa. Pono ka Jaguar XE no ka mea Pelekane e komo i kahi ʻāpana koʻikoʻi a hoʻohuli i nā mea kūʻai aku uku hou mai kēlā mau ʻōpio - ka poʻe e mahalo ana i ka holo anai ʻia me ka hoʻonani.

Ua komo ʻo Jaguar i kēia ʻāpana he 14 mau makahiki i hala aku nei, e ʻōwili nei i ka sedan X-Type ma ke kaʻa huila mua o Ford Mondeo chassis a i ka piko o ka 3-Series a me C-Class. ʻAʻole i ʻae kēia mākeke wikiwiki i kahi kaʻa uʻi kūwaho - ua hoʻomaʻemaʻe kūpono ʻia ka Jaguar liʻiliʻi, a ma nā ʻano o ke ʻano hoʻokele he haʻahaʻa ia i ka poʻe hoʻokūkū. ʻO ka hopena, 350 tausani mau kaʻa wale nō i kūʻai ʻia i loko o ʻewalu mau makahiki - aneane ʻekolu mau manawa i ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi ma mua o ka nui a ka poʻe Pelekania i manaʻo ai.

I kēia manawa ʻokoʻa ʻokoʻa ke ʻano: ʻo ka XE hou kaila. Ua huki ke kanaka hoʻolālā Jaguar ʻo Ian Callum i kahi kaʻa e hiki ke pili paʻa me ka lineup o ka brand. ʻO ka hopena he XF i hoʻonui ʻia me ka aristocratic XJ a me nā kuhi lahilahi o kahi ʻano F-Type haʻuki. Kaohi ʻia, maʻemaʻe, ʻaneʻane akahai, akā me ka liʻiliʻi o ka diabolō i ka uila o ke kukui, lawe i nā ea bumper a me nā kukui LED.

Maʻalahi ka salona akā ʻano hou loa. Kūpono ke kauoha, a maikaʻi ka loko i nā kikoʻī. ʻO nā luawai mea kani a me ka volumetric ʻekolu mau ʻōlelo hoʻokele e pili ana i ka F-Type, a ke kolo nei ka mea holoi lawe pono pilikino i waho o ke ana ke hoʻomaka ka ʻenekini. Nānā maikaʻi loa, ʻoiai ʻaʻole maikaʻi ke nānā aku. ʻO ka ea lawa a paʻakikī, ʻaʻole i loaʻa ka ʻūlima a me nā ʻeke o ka puka i ka upholstery, a hana ʻāpana ʻia ka uhi papa puka i ka palolo maʻalahi. Akā hūnā ʻia kēia mau mea āpau mai ka ʻike ʻana. A ke ʻike ʻia nei ka ʻōnaehana media InControl hou: kahi ʻoluʻolu maikaʻi a me nā kiʻi nani, kahi piko Wi-Fi, nā helehelena kūikawā no nā poʻe kelepona i hoʻokumu ʻia ma iOS a i ʻole Android, i hiki ke kaohi i kekahi o nā hana o ka papa mamao. ʻO ka hope, he hōʻike poʻo poʻo kā XE e hōʻike nei i nā kiʻi ma ka aniani.

He maʻalahi nā noho, akā paʻa pono lākou, a ʻaʻole ia e paʻakikī e loaʻa kahi kūpono. He aha ka mea hiki ʻole ke ʻōlelo e pili ana i ka poʻe kaʻa hope. Haahaa ko lākou hale, a noho ke kanaka o ke kiʻekiʻe awelika ma ka sofa hope me ka ʻole o ke keena kuli - ʻo kēia me ka wheelbase nui 2835 millimeter. ʻEkolu mau noho ma ke kua i kūpono ʻole, e noho ana ma waenakonu he ʻoluʻolu ʻole loa ia, a ʻo nā puka aniani hope hoʻi ʻaʻole e hāʻule hope loa. ʻO ka maʻamau, he kaʻa no ka mea hoʻokele a me kāna mea kaʻa.

He paepae hou kā ka XE e pono ai ka laikini, ʻoi aku paha ma mua o ka sedan iho. Ma hope o nā mea āpau, ke kūkulu ʻia nei ka crossover Jaguar F-Pace ma luna ona - kahi hiʻohiʻona e nānā nei i kekahi o nā māhele mākeke e ulu wikiwiki nei. No laila, ua hana ʻia nā chassis no ka Jaguar junior e like me nā canons āpau o ke ʻano sedan haʻuki: kahi kino alumini māmā, hope a ʻehā mau huila paha a me nā ʻenekini ikaika mai nā turbo ʻehā o kēia manawa a hiki i ka V8 ikaika, me XE e hoʻokūkū ai me ka BMW M3.

ʻAʻohe 340s i ka pae XE, ʻo ia ke kumu e holo ai wau i ka X6 horsepower XE me kahi compressor V5,1, no laila ʻoki wau i nā ala me ka ʻole o ka ʻole o ka mana. Huki māmā a leo nui ʻo "ʻEono", ʻo ia hoʻi ma ke ʻano Dynamic, kahi e hoʻokala ai i ka hoʻokele throttle a hoʻoili i ka pahu i kahi o nā rev. Hiki i nā "XE" haneli XE i 335 kekona - ʻoi aku ka wikiwiki o kēia ma mua o ka BMW XNUMXi, akā maikaʻi loa i nā manaʻo. ʻAʻoleʻike iki ʻia ka whine o ka supercharger, a pololei wale ka pau ʻana mai o ka Jaguar. Hoʻololi ka ʻewalu wikiwiki "gears" me nā jerks māmā a lele koke i nā gear haʻahaʻa inā pono. ʻO kēlā me kēia pā o ka mea wikiwiki he mea leʻaleʻa, ʻo kēlā me kēia huli kahi hōʻike no ka hāmeʻa vestibular.

ʻO ka mana me ka ʻenekini V6 a me ka hoʻomaha hoʻoliʻiliʻi adaptive i hāʻawi pinepine ʻia i kekahi ʻano ʻē i ka kaʻa. Hoʻopuka ka mana hoʻokele uila i ka pane i kūlohelohe i hiki i ka mea hoʻokele ke manaʻo i ka pahee iki o ka huila i ke kihi ʻana. Hāʻawi ka chassis i ka paʻa e like me ka lawe ʻia ʻana o ka hoʻomaha mai ka F-Type coupe - noho ʻoi loa ka XE a maʻalahi hoʻi i loko o nā ʻano koʻikoʻi loa. Akā eia ka mea - ma waho o ke ala, lilo kēia Jaguar i kumu a ʻoluʻolu hoʻi. Kupaianaha maoli ke kaulike o ke kaʻa. A ʻaʻole wale ia ka hoʻoliʻiliʻi adaptive, me he mea lā.

ʻO ke kino o ka sedan he 20% ʻoi aku ka ʻoi aku ma mua o ka XF kahiko, a ʻokoʻa, hana ʻia ia i ʻekolu hapahā o ka magnesium alumini - ua hoʻohana ʻia ka hope i ka hana ʻana i ka crossboard crossbar. Kaha ʻia ka pāpale mai kēia mea hao, akā he hao nā puka a me nā poʻi kumu. No ka mahele kaupaona maikaʻi ʻana, ua hoʻoneʻe ʻia ka ʻenekini i kumu. A ʻo ke kaupaona o ka XE e like me ka nui o ka hoʻokūkū, ua kōkua nā mea pono i ka hoʻoili hou ʻana i ke kaumaha o ke kaʻa. Hana ʻia ka suspensions me ka aluminika, a mālama ʻia nā lehulehu unsprung i kahi liʻiliʻi. ʻO ka hope, hāʻawi ʻekolu mau pendants iā lākou i ka manawa hoʻokahi, ʻo lākou āpau me kā lākou ʻano ponoʻī.

Manaʻo ʻia ke kumu he ʻoluʻolu, hāʻawi ʻia kahi haʻuki ʻoi aku ka paʻakikī no ka uku keu, a hilinaʻi nā mana o luna i kahi mea maʻalahi me nā mea hoʻopūʻiwa o Bilstein shock absorbers. Eia naʻe, ʻaʻohe mea kūpono e waiho i nā kālā loaʻa paʻakikī no ka hiki ke hoʻopilikino i ka chassis. Hoʻohālikelike kaulike ʻia ka mana maʻamau nona iho. Ma nā ala kaulike ʻole, hoʻomoe mālie kēia chassis me he mea lā he palahalaha nā asphalt ma lalo o nā huila, ʻoiai ʻaʻole mamao loa nā ala Sepania. Hiki ke hoʻoluli iki ke kino i nā mea kūpono ʻole a ma nā piʻo ʻoi aku ka wikiwiki, akā ʻaʻole ka mea hoʻomaha e hoʻonele i ka manaʻo o ke kaʻa, a noho mau ke kaʻa hoʻokele i ka ʻike. ʻO ka chassis haʻuki, e like me ka mea i manaʻo ʻia, ʻoi aku ka paʻakikī, akā ʻaʻole naʻe ia e ʻike i ka hōʻoluʻolu ʻole. Inā ʻaʻole ma kahi ʻino, hoʻomaka ka nalu o ke ala e hoʻonāukiuki iki. Akā ʻo ka chassis adaptive me he mea lā he ʻaoʻao liʻiliʻi. Me ia, ʻano paʻakikī paha ka sedan, a ʻo ka hoʻololi ʻana i nā hāmeʻa algorithm i kahi ʻoluʻolu ʻaʻole ia e hoʻololi i ke kūlana. ʻO kekahi mea ma ke ala kahi e koi ʻia ai ka hopu nui ʻana, hana maikaʻi ia.

No laila ʻo kaʻu koho he chassis maʻamau a me ka 240-liter 2,0-horsepower petrol engine. ʻAʻole paha e lūlū i ke ala me ka ikaika e like me ka V6, akā ma waho o ke ala me he mea lā ua ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi. I kēlā me kēia hihia, 150 km / h, maʻamau no nā alaloa Sepania, ke loaʻa nei ka XE lua-lita me ka ikaika ʻole. ʻAʻole maikaʻi ʻole ka mana 200-horsepower o ka ʻenekini like - halihali ia me ka hilinaʻi, me ka hoʻohaʻahaʻa, ʻoiai me ka ʻole o nā kuleana kūikawā no ka holo leʻaleʻa.

Hāʻawi wale ka Pelekane i ʻelua mau koho no ka wahie kaumaha: ʻelua mau litera diesel ʻenekini o ka ʻohana Ingenium hou loa me ka hiki ke loaʻa iā 163 a me 180 hp, a, me ka "automate", hiki ke hoʻolako ʻia me nā lawe lima. ʻO ka kohoʻoi aku ka ikaika e huki i ka maikaʻi, akā ʻaʻole ia e pīhoihoi me kāna mau hiki loa. Koe no ka hāmau - inā ʻaʻole no ka tachometer i kaha ʻia a 6000, ʻaʻole maʻalahi e koho e pili ana i ka diesel ma lalo o ka pale. Kūpono ka loulou me ka "akomi" - akamai ka pahu pahu ʻewalu wikiwiki. Akā ʻo ke koho me "mechanics" ʻaʻole maikaʻi. Hāʻawi nā haʻalulu o ka lepe paʻa a me ka hehi wāwae i nā manaʻo non-premium loa, a ʻo ka mea nona ka sedan haʻuki e makemake ʻole e hopu i ka traction, e hoʻāʻo nei ʻaʻole e hana hewa i ka lawe ʻana. Eia hou, ʻo ka leve lole manual ma kahi o ka holoi holoi "automate" e kolo nei i waho o ke ana i ke ʻano ʻē i loko o kēia kaila kūloko, e luku ana i nā leʻaleʻa āpau o loko.

ʻO ka mea hoʻohenehene ia ʻo ia ka mana diesel me nā mīkini e lilo i mea makemake nui ʻia ma ʻEulopa. Pono kahi Jaguar hoʻokele waiwai e hoʻohuli i nā mea hoʻohuli i ka inoa - ka poʻe i noʻonoʻo ʻole i ka laikini ma muli o ke kumukūʻai kiʻekiʻe. Akā ʻaʻole mākou e nānā i kēia, no laila ʻaʻole e loaʻa kahi mana me kahi MCP ma Lūkia. Eia kekahi, $ 26 ke kumukūʻai o ka diesel XE. ʻaʻole mākou ka uku kūpono loa. Hoʻololi ʻia ke kumu e kahi sedan 300-horsepower gasolina, kahi ma ka mana Maʻamau maʻamau $ 200 - hōʻailona ma mua o ka Audi A25 a me Mercedes C234 ʻelua-lika, a me Lexus IS4. ʻO ka kumu BMW 250i ʻaʻole ʻoi aku ka pipiʻi, akā nāwaliwali hoʻi e 250 horsepower. A eia ka 320-horsepower XE, ke kumukūʻai $ 12. ua hoʻokūkū pololei me 240 hp BMW 30i no $ 402. Akā ʻo Jaguar ka ʻoi aku o ka mākaukau. A ʻaʻole wale me kahi chassis hoʻokiwikā maikaʻi loa.
