What is the full road condition SUV

Now many SUVs have advertised themselves as "all-road" SUVs. But what is the whole road situation? After verification, we found that "the whole road condition" is not a strict engineering term or concept, but merely the manufacturer's own publicity of its own SUV products. There is a saying that equates "all road conditions" and "wherever it goes". According to this concept, the whole road situation will become the ultimate off-road vehicle. This is obviously one-sided. To this end, the author has deliberately collected some of the views on the Internet. Let me first take a look at what vehicles are advertised as "the whole road conditions." Then we make a summary of the concept of "the whole road situation."

First of all, let's take a look at the “SUVs on the street” that we label ourselves. Basically we can find that the U.S.-based SUVs are mainly based. For example, the 2011 Grand Cherokee, Copaci, of course, there are classic off-road brands Land Rover, as well as Lexus series SUV GX460.

Land Rover seems to have started its pursuit of full road performance very early. In addition to abandoning the non-loaded body early on, Land Rover has also developed an "all terrain adaptation system." In fact, this system collects data on the characteristics of different road conditions, and then writes Land Rover’s scientific driving styles that have been summarized for many years into vehicle programs. Various road conditions are set in advance. When the terrain is complex, the driver can select the corresponding vehicle mode according to the actual situation.

Land Rover's all-terrain adaptation system differs from the Wrangler in that the new Grand Cherokee emphasizes both road and off-road performance at the beginning of its design. So now the Grand Cherokee has completely abandoned the early JEEP non-loaded body, front and rear hard axis design. Not only that, the Grand Cherokee also introduced electronically controlled limited-slip differentials, air suspension and full-road mode selection systems (similar to Land Rover's all-terrain feedback system).

Since the beginning of the design, Lexus GX 460 has adopted the design concept of “anytime, anywhere,” using a non-bearing body and equipped with an electronic dynamic suspension system, four road mode options, and a multi-terrain monitoring system. Auxiliary equipment such as automatic hill-climbing control system enables the vehicle to have good passing performance. In addition, Toyota's high reliability has always made it a high-end luxury SUV hospital.

In addition to the above-mentioned luxury cars that have been hit by more than one million, the relatively low-priced Kopacz has also labeled itself as a “full road” label. Although for the previous few luxury SUVs, Kopacz did not have complicated electronic systems and hoisting and lowering, but the V6 engine of the Captiva flagship model is also rare in the current urban SUV, in addition, because the Captiva is also equipped with multiple clutch central differential , and can achieve lock. Powerful power and chassis systems allow Copaci to proudly call himself the "all-road" SUV.
