Perhaps the most serious questions for Russian car owners, who have not yet tasted the joys of owning Chinese cars, arise from the practice of using them in
It so happened that the Jetour This circumstance made it possible to thoroughly and objectively assess the ability of the Chinese crossover to withstand the Russian winter. Naturally, we believe the commercials showing tests of “heavenly” cars in the cold climate of the same Inner Mongolia. But advertising is advertising. Sometimes it does not correspond to reality. And it was all the more interesting to watch the ‘clash’ of the Jetour X70 Plus with it.
The biggest sorrow of every car owner in severe frost: will the car start? Even though she is technically fine. At −25ºC, even a completely new car can ‘bounce’ and refuse to ‘come to life’ after an icy night. For example, the ‘brains’ of some Asian and European vehicles are unable to start the engine under such conditions.
As long as the thermometer readings outside the window did not drop below -15ºC, there was no doubt about the ability of the X70 Plus electronics to ‘wake up’ its 2-liter turbo engine with 190 hp. But one morning it froze to -27ºC. And it was urgent to go. I went to the frost-covered car and, without much hope for the best, pressed the engine start button. Literally after a few “whee-whee” from the starter the “engine” started quietly. And this happened every time during the entire “icy” test drive of the Chinese crossover!
Any more or less experienced car owner will tell you that when starting a car at −25ºC, it is better to warm it up before driving. If only because holding on to the icy steering wheel and looking into the foggy windshield while driving is still ‘fun’. The cleanliness of the Jetour X70 Plus is in order: it is equipped with electric heating. This eliminates sweating and eliminates the need to scrape ice from the windshield.
But there is also some negativity. The crossover engine in particular heats up very slowly. This is probably due to the performance of the thermostat. Outboard temperatures below -20ºC are not for him: he clearly opens the “great circle” of cooling too early. As a result, a petrol engine heats up almost as much as a diesel engine in severe frost: extremely slowly. Accordingly, the “stove” cannot heat the interior. A way out of the situation was found through the use of Soviet drivers. The driver must use the accelerator pedal to keep the engine speed strong around 2000. Then the car warms up within a more or less acceptable time.
If there are no problems with the Jetour X70 Plus engine even in extreme cold, the transmission should be handled with care. The gearbox here is a “robot” with 7 gears. Into which oil is poured. It turned out that this car becomes quite fat in frost of 20 degrees. As a result, after a long stop, you have to drive several hundred meters at as leisurely a pace as possible – because due to the increased viscosity of the lubricant, the “box” shifts with enormous delays. The clutch plates move slowly and mournfully. If you press hard on the gas from the very first meters of the journey, you can “kill” them together with the driving mechanism. However, slow shifts in cold weather are basically inherent in many ‘robots’ and ‘variators’.
Cool is the short answer to this question. The “heater” of the Jetour X70 Plus is quite weak for frost below −20ºС. Naturally, the passengers and driver will not freeze. But it won’t be able to warm the air in the cabin to the point where “you have to take your jacket off” at this temperature outside, even on a three-hour trip with the temperature dial on the climate control.” turned to maximum.” But there are absolutely no questions about seat heating: it fries as it should.
Overall, the crossover in this sense is only missing a few ‘accents’. For example, it would not hurt to increase the efficiency of his “stove” and introduce electric heating in the steering wheel.
