Going on the road is more eye-catching than super running？ Detailed explanation of Dongfeng warrior M50

[Original Truck House] If card friends realize financial freedom one day, will they want to buy a passenger car to travel around after retirement? For card friends who are used to driving, it is difficult for ordinary urban SUVs to adapt to both sitting posture and off-road ability. Coupled with the poems in their hearts and the distance, a hard-core off-road must be an unavoidable choice for many card friends.

If I tell you, you can also choose a domestic "military vehicle". Do you believe it or not? Compared with the traditional commercial off-road vehicles, military vehicles are more excellent in reliability, stability and passing ability, and their appearance is more domineering. It is a civilian version produced by Dongfeng off-road vehicles Co., Ltd., and its guide price is 668,800. Next, let’s see what it has.

Since it is a passenger car that focuses on off-road, we definitely demand that its exterior design should be sharp enough. This Dongfeng Warrior M50 is painted in big red, which draws lessons from many design elements of American Hmmwv H1 military vehicles in appearance, and the muscular body lines are particularly hard-core. We have only seen this style in the military version of Warrior before, and the traditional commercial off-road vehicles are not so exaggerated.

On the front face, the design of the civilian version is also highly consistent with that of the military version. The huge radiator design on the hood is the symbol of the warrior model, and the square lamp has also been modified into two more exquisite round lamps, and the LED daytime running has been upgraded. The bumper adopts short bar design, which leaves a huge space for both sides to avoid damage on unpaved roads.

The way to open the hood of the warrior M50 is also very eye-catching. It adopts a very retro forward-tilting shape and looks very individual. Why not use a hydraulic tappet? First of all, the cover plate of Warrior is large in size and heavy in weight, so it is difficult to ensure the reliability of traditional hydraulic tappets in long-term use. At the same time, this design concept also comes from military vehicles. Even if the engine cover is damaged, the modular design can be quickly disassembled and replaced.

From some body data, we can see how powerful this warrior M50 is. First, the body size, its length, width and height are 5320X2310X1950mm, the wheelbase is 3800mm, and the body width is 2300 mm. What is the concept? The width of the car is about 2550mm, and the extremely wide and low body can bring two benefits. One is unparalleled lateral stability, and the vehicle is not easy to roll over when passing through bullet holes, large-angle slopes and other sections. The other big benefit is that we reveal the mystery in the power chain part.

The weight of the whole vehicle is 4.2 tons, and the weight of an ordinary SUV is about 1.5 tons. This kind of vehicle is more stable when passing through small rivers and bumps. The total weight of the load is 6 tons, and it can pull goods close to 1.8 tons. Fishing gear and toolbox can be easily handled. The wading throat is added to the left side of the machine cover, which makes the wading depth of the warrior M50 reach 1200mm, which is very exaggerated.

As a hard-core off-road vehicle, this warrior M50 also has a killer weapon, namely its approach angle and departure angle, which is 45 degrees in approach angle and 32 degrees. The data can be described as horror. The 45-degree approach angle is close to many tractors and special vehicles, and its departure angle is even larger than the approach angle angle of many off-road vehicles. With the minimum ground clearance of 380mm, basically it will not encounter the situation of supporting the bottom and getting on the high slope.

Of course, the warrior M50 was originally equipped with an electric winch for you. Although we don’t know the weight and dragging ability of this winch for the time being, we can see from the size of the steel cable that if you are stuck in a car, it should be no problem to tie it to a tree to save yourself. If you can also choose a winch at the rear of the car, your ability to get out of trouble can be further improved.

Overhead intercooling can compress the height space of the car body and improve the ground clearance of the chassis.

For a hard-core pickup truck, the powerful torque provided by the diesel engine is incomparable to that provided by the gasoline engine. This warrior M50 uses an in-line four-cylinder diesel engine with the model D4.0NB195, with a displacement of 4.0l, which meets the national emission standard. Its maximum output power is 143kw(195 HP), maximum output torque is 730 Nm, and the maximum torque can be output between 1300-1600rpm.

This Dongkang engine has an engine braking power of 85.5kw, which makes it more confident when going downhill for a long time. The whole machine adopts a high-pressure injection system of 1800bar, which greatly improves the fuel efficiency and fuel economy. The internal low-friction design reduces the friction work of the engine. It is worth mentioning that this engine adopts the improved design of ETV interface, which reduces the overall noise. Even at high speed, the car is relatively quiet.

The maximum torque of 730 Nm can be said to be comparable to the torque performance of gasoline engines. At the same time, the single maintenance interval of diesel engines is longer, and compared with gasoline engines with the same displacement, it is more fuel-efficient in daily driving. It can be said that diesel engines are more popular in the off-road field except that the noise is slightly higher than that of gasoline engines.

The five-speed manual gearbox independently developed by Dongfeng matched with the engine has excellent reliability. It is reported that Dongfeng has also specially developed 4AT automatic gearbox for Warrior models. For lazy people like Xiaobian, the convenience of automatic transmission is obviously stronger.

Next to the gearbox, the transfer case of the Warrior M50 has the function of low-speed torque amplification, that is, we often say the low gear. After the transfer case is put into the low gear, the gear will cut into a gear with a larger gear ratio at the front end of the gearbox, thus improving the main transmission ratio of the vehicle and amplifying the low-speed torque of the vehicle. Under normal circumstances, the transfer box can increase the torque amplification function by 1 -2.72 times, which is the standard of hard-core off-road vehicles, and further releases the power of this warrior M50 under extreme road conditions.

On the aspect, this warrior M50 adopts AT tread tires of Qianjin brand, with an exaggerated size of 305/80R18. In the later period, card friends can also replace them with MT tread tires of Bailuchi, Jiangjun and Guplatinum as required to adapt to various road conditions. Even in the civilian version, the Warrior M50 is equipped with a central inflation and deflation system, which can automatically inflate and deflate the vehicle tires in the car, and can easily switch different tire pressures to adapt to the terrain in the desert, mud and paved roads.

The urea tank of the vehicle is designed in front of the rear wheel, and its size does not affect the passability. At the same time, it is equipped with two fuel inlets. This warrior M50 is designed with double fuel tanks, with a volume of about 125 liters, which can provide the warrior M50 with a longer cruising range. The design of the large fuel tank is more secure when going out to play, but the fuel tank cover is exposed outside, which thief dares to steal the oil of this car?

There is not enough space, so the disc brake is designed inside the axle shaft.

The chassis design of the Warrior M50 is very interesting. It is almost the same as the military version of the Warrior before improvement. The front and rear parts are designed with girders and double wishbone shock absorbers. Similar to passenger cars, it is difficult to see on ordinary off-road vehicles. At the same time, in order to enhance the passability, the Warrior M50 also raised the height of the drive axle, which became what we often call a portal, raised the position of the axle and the drive shaft, and further improved the ground clearance.

Because of the heavy weight of Warrior M50, in order to effectively cope with the impact of vehicle emergency braking on the transfer box and front and rear differential, it also has a wheel reducer, which is similar to our common ones, and its addition further enhances the on-wheel driving force of the vehicle. At the same time, the M50 also comes standard with two Towson differential locks, which can lock the central differential when one wheel is idling, making it a rigid connection for all-wheel drive and enhancing the ability to get out of trouble.

Previously, many off-road fans bought retired warrior military vehicles. The point that people often spit out is that the interior is too "hard-core" and lacks comfort configuration. The newly designed Warrior M50 has been comprehensively improved for the civilian market. When you open the car door, the door panel is no longer bare rivets and hand-cranked windows, but covered with soft materials and electric lifting windows.

The seat is covered with leather, which looks more classy, and the structure of the seat has also been upgraded and optimized. The overall design is more ergonomic and more comfortable when driving long distances. However, due to the need to take into account the body structure design of hard-core models, smaller ladies and children should be extra careful when getting on the bus to avoid stepping on the air.

Because of the need to accommodate the portal bridge and diesel engine, the center console of the Warrior M50 is relatively high, so it is necessary to adjust the sitting posture in time to ensure the clear vision when driving. However, due to the square design of the front of the car, the pressure when driving will not be too great. The steering wheel is equipped with a brand-new flat-bottom structure design, which is smaller in size and easier to control while driving.

The gearbox handle, the transfer case handle and the handbrake are all arranged on the right side of the main driver, which is convenient to control. The central control area has upgraded many functions such as large screen, navigation support, APP, reversing image and mobile phone interconnection, and its overall size is close to 10 inches. The interface design is concise and clear, and the operation is relatively simple.

At the same time, an automatic air conditioner and a brand-new control button for inflation and deflation system are also designed below, which can be automatically adjusted according to the real-time terrain, or the driver can adjust the tire pressure value according to the real-time road conditions himself. At the bottom is the fuel tank heating function, which is rare in passenger cars. It is definitely a practical configuration for the card friends who drive the warrior M50 in winter in the north.

In the middle of the back seat, the warrior M50 also provides a charging device that supports 300w W. Our daily mobile phone charging and laptop computers can be easily connected. For card friends who like outdoor fishing, it is not a problem to connect a low-power LED lighting.

● Postscript

The Warrior M50 is based on the extension of the first generation of Warrior military vehicles in China, which has greatly improved the comfort and convenience of use. At present, the Warrior M50 also provides single-row pickup trucks, van tops and SUV models, and can also be customized according to the actual needs of buyers. At the same time, our army is also retiring the first generation of warrior military vehicles, and card friends who prefer the original military version of the warrior can pay more attention.

This warrior M50 can be said to be unique in the current pickup market. Its hard-core body shape is completely different from other cars on the road. Do you want to turn around? It can fix the eyes of all passers-by in minutes. If you card friends retire and want to travel around, is this Dongfeng Warrior M50 your best "companion"? (Text/hao yang)
