Subway construction becomes "grave digging" archaeology? Xi ‘an: I am innocent, too.

  Recently, it is rumored that the site of "abandoned hill" was accidentally dug up and destroyed during the construction of Xi ‘an subway. This paper not only analyzes that archaeological work is the "culprit" that delays the construction of subway, but also ridicules the Cultural Relics Bureau for going to work like a grave and being busy with cultural relics of little value. For a time, the protection of cultural relics was pushed to the forefront.

  The site was discovered by accident? Will subway construction destroy cultural relics? Archaeologists are too busy to hastily dispose of unimportant cultural relics? Metro Line 5 needs to be temporarily rerouted? ……………………… Recently, 208 Fang contacted the Xi ‘an Cultural Relics Bureau and conducted an interview on related hot issues.

  This information is not true

  The net is ridiculous, and some mainstream media also follow suit. Under the internet profit model of "traffic is revenue", some communicators consciously or unconsciously get caught up in the reading volume of "100,000+",attract their attention with scary headlines such as "subway construction destroys cultural relics" and cover up the truth with inflammatory words such as "disposing of cultural relics at will". At first glance, the humorous style of writing is very lively, but it conveys the wrong information and misleads the public.

  Behind the onlookers of this incident, not only the curiosity of the public was aroused, but also the public’s high concern for urban construction and cultural relics protection and the continuous improvement of cultural relics protection awareness. So, what are rumors? What about the real cultural protection work?

  Proverbs 1: Does subway shield construction hurt cultural relics?

  Truth: "Sorry, we are not in the same dimension."

  According to archaeological data and investigation, the burial depth of ancient sites and tombs in the urban area of Xi ‘an is generally not more than 10 meters, while the subway shield construction is 10-mdash; It is less than 18 meters, so it will not "meet" with cultural relics. What about harm? There are large and deep ancient tombs outside the city, but the subway shield operation area is mostly carried out under the built roads and buildings, and these areas have carried out cultural relics exploration and archaeological excavation in advance during the road and building construction in the past, and it is difficult for the shield to encounter cultural relics.

  Truth: "Don’t treat the cultural relics department as a small transparency."

  Every subway in Xi ‘an has been "online" from line planning to construction. When planning, the subway line has evaded the known important sites; Before the construction, archaeological exploration will be carried out on the subway excavation sites and dispatching stations; When archaeological exploration reveals a site or an ancient tomb, archaeological excavation should be carried out first; After the archaeological work, the construction began. Planning, exploration, excavation and protection all have a set of strict process specifications.

  "Before the construction of all projects in Xi’ an and the government’s land transfer, they must go through archaeological exploration and cover the whole city, which is rare in the country." Wang Zili, vice president of Xi ‘an Institute of Archaeology for Cultural Relics Protection, said that the implementation of "archaeological pre-positioning" has avoided the destruction of cultural relics in urban development and construction to the greatest extent. The so-called "accidental" discovery by netizens is just the inevitable result of archaeological work.

  Proverbs 3: Metro Line 5 will be temporarily rerouted?

  The truth: "The relevant personnel are ignorant: Why didn’t I know?"

  In fact, as early as 2016, Xi ‘an Archaeological Institute confirmed and discovered the site of Dongmafang, a "Sanpu" cultural relic, in cooperation with the archaeological exploration of Qinhuang Avenue project in Xixian New Area. From July to November, 2018, the Epang Palace and Shanglinyuan Archaeological Team, which were jointly formed by the Institute of Archaeology of Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and Xi ‘an Institute of Cultural Relics Protection Archaeology, excavated the project land with an area of 9,402 square meters, and found 3 rammed earth building foundations, 23 cleaning wells, 15 stoves, 73 ash pits, 5 modern pits, 1 tomb and 25 anatomical ditches. According to archaeological excavations and documents, and through expert argumentation, it is preliminarily judged that the cultural remains here may be the capital of Yong Wang Zhang Han, one of the Three Qin Dynasties — — Abandoned mound site. Due to the large scope of this site, it partially involves the line between Ximafang Station and Convention Center Station in the second phase of Metro Line 5. In December of the same year, the cultural relics department and the subway department organized experts to study the fine-tuning scheme of the subway line involving this area, and now the technical scheme has been formulated and reported.

  In the construction of Xi ‘an Metro Line 2, a series of scientific and effective technical measures were taken for the subway to pass through the cultural relics buildings such as Xi ‘an City Wall and Bell Tower, such as adopting two-way bypass, increasing buried depth, shield construction, controlling settlement, adopting underground excavation method and seamless connection, which has reference significance for the cultural relics protection in subway construction in other parts of China and has been affirmed by National Cultural Heritage Administration.

  Proverbs 4: There are too many cultural relics in Xi ‘an, so you will hastily dispose of less important cultural relics?

  Truth: "Equal treatment, the road is not wild."

  Archaeological excavation should be carried out for the underground cultural relics found, and it needs to go through the steps of applying for excavation license, site excavation and cleaning, photography, surveying and mapping, site protection, reinforcement, registration number, packaging and extraction of cultural relics. "Like surgery, no matter how big or small, there are no fewer procedural steps. We should extract all the information and not deal with it rashly." Tang Long, director of the Cultural Relics Protection and Archaeology Department of Xi ‘an Cultural Relics Bureau, said that the protection of cultural relics is a national interest, and all archaeological excavations are treated equally, but the final display methods will be different.

  After all, there are currently 3,246 immovable cultural relics registered in Xi ‘an, 52 national key cultural relics protection units, 108 provincial cultural relics protection units, and 264 city (county) cultural relics protection units ….. There are a large number, wide distribution and high level of cultural relics resources, which determines that the cultural protection work in Xi ‘an must be protected and displayed according to laws, regulations, steps and points.

Restoration of cultural relics. png

  Truth: "Cultural relics workers are explorers who restore history."

  Tang Long told Fang Mei that archaeological work focuses on the first two of the three philosophical propositions — — "who am I" and "where do I come from". Archaeology is the basic work for the protection of cultural relics, and the material evidence provided by archaeology is the "just visiting" that connects the ancients and modern people, and enables modern people to intuitively feel the production and life scenes of the ancients and the splendid culture created.

  "Before I have been to Sanxingdui, I can’t clearly understand what a" long-sighted "person is; Only after seeing the beautiful grape, flower, bird and silver sachet unearthed in hejia village cellar can we perceive the outstanding production technology and scientific and technological development level of the Tang Dynasty … "When it comes to unearthed cultural relics, Tang Long talked about it.

  It is such a group of unknown archaeological explorers and guardians of cultural relics that cultural relics buried underground for thousands of years can wipe away the dust of history and glow with brand-new brilliance.

  Babies buried along the subway

  Fang Mei learned that the archaeological work of Xi ‘an Metro Line 2, Line 1, Line 3 and Line 4 has been completed, and these four subways have been completed and opened to traffic. The second phase of Line 5, Line 6 and Line 1, which are under construction, are all carrying out archaeological exploration and excavation. So, what are the archaeological discoveries along these subways?

  Line two

  A total of 174 ancient tombs were excavated along the subway that runs through the north-south axis of Xi ‘an city center. The tombs are small in scale and low in grade, and most of them belong to civilian tombs. Unearthed cultural relics are also very common, mainly pottery. Tombs are mainly distributed at the north and south ends of Line 2, especially in Zhangjiabao area in the northern suburb, and the burial times are mostly in the Western Han Dynasty. At the southern end of Line 2, the line passes through the ancient tomb area of Fengqiyuan in the southern suburbs of Xi ‘an, and the tombs of Han and Ming dynasties are mainly found.

Among them, Kangfu Road subway station found one tomb of Tang Dynasty, Tonghua Gate (Jinhua Road) station found one ancient tomb, Wanshou Road station found two ancient tombs, and Textile City station found one ancient tomb.

A total of 263 cultural relics were unearthed. Of the 34 ancient tombs, 32 were stolen before archaeological exploration and excavation.

  Metro Line 5 and Line 6 are under construction, and Xi ‘an Archaeological Institute is carrying out archaeological exploration in the excavation area of the station enclosure along the line and the parking lot of the depot. Recently, a Han tomb was excavated in the north of Muta Temple Park in cooperation with the construction of Science and Technology Sixth Road Station on Line 6.

  What is the coffee spot of Xi ‘an cultural relics system in China?

  Xi ‘an is a city built on a thousand-year-old historic site. Since the 11th century BC, when Fenghao, the capital of the Western Zhou Dynasty, was established, Xi ‘an has a history of 3,100 years of urban development. Thirteen dynasties established their capitals here, which lasted for more than 1,100 years. It is also known as the "four historical ancient capitals" together with Cairo, Athens and Rome, and its cultural heritage is recognized as systematic, typical and representative.

  The outstanding feature of Xi ‘an city is that the modern urban area and the ancient cultural heritage area are seriously overlapped. Among the 490 square kilometers of the central urban area, there are more than 200 square kilometers of important sites, the most important of which are the capital sites and imperial tombs of Zhou, Qin, Han and Tang Dynasties.

  According to the third national cultural relics survey, there are currently 3,246 immovable cultural relics registered in Xi ‘an, 52 national key cultural relics protection units, 108 provincial cultural relics protection units and 264 city (county) cultural relics protection units.

  World cultural heritage has two places and six points: Terracotta Warriors and Horses; Silk Road: Chang ‘an — Tianshan Corridor Road Network: Weiyang Palace Site in Chang ‘an City of Han Dynasty, Daming Palace Site in Chang ‘an City of Tang Dynasty, Big Wild Goose Pagoda, Little Wild Goose Pagoda and Xingjiao Temple Pagoda;

  There are 4 national archaeological sites parks: Qin Shihuang Mausoleum National Archaeological Site Park, Hanyang Mausoleum National Archaeological Site Park, Daming Palace National Archaeological Site Park and Weiyang Palace National Archaeological Site Park in Chang ‘an, Han, ranking first in the country, accounting for one-ninth of the country;

  There are 5 provincial-level cultural heritage parks: Duling, Shunling, Huaqing Palace Site, Xi ‘an City Wall and Dahua Cotton Mill, accounting for one fifth of the province;

  In recent years, Wei River Bridge Site in Chang ‘an City of Han Dynasty, Quercus Yangcheng Site in Qin and Han Dynasties (Yanliang) and Yangguanzhai Site (Gaoling) have gained ten new archaeological discoveries in China, which have attracted wide attention from all walks of life.

  How to combine cultural protection with urban construction perfectly?

  "In Xi ‘an, every hoe is a cultural relic", although it is a joke, it reflects the richness of Xi ‘an cultural heritage. Then, the problem comes: as a world famous historical and cultural city, Xi ‘an is always faced with the problem of how to protect the historical and cultural heritage and how to make good use of this urban resource on the basis of protection, so that the protection of historical and cultural heritage and urban modernization can coexist harmoniously.

  In the face of contradictions, Xi ‘an has also formed a set of unique working mechanisms and systems to coordinate the protection of historical and cultural heritage and the development of urban modernization. For example, on the planning level, it is determined that the overall layout of Xi ‘an is a spatial development model of inheriting the ancient capital; At the level of laws and regulations, it constitutes the legal guarantee for the protection of historical and cultural heritage in Xi ‘an, and the work of cultural protection has a rigid constraint, which makes the protection of historical and cultural heritage have laws to follow and rules to follow.

  According to Tang Long, in order to solve the problem of how to strengthen the protection of cultural relics in construction projects, the Regulations on the Protection of Immovable Cultural Relics in Xi ‘an, which was promulgated in December 2017, innovatively proposed that "before the allocation and transfer of land use rights, the municipal cultural relics administrative department shall organize archaeological investigation and exploration, and put forward opinions on land supply, and the expenses for archaeological investigation and exploration shall be borne by the municipal, district and county people’s governments". Not only did it solve the long-standing contradiction between cultural relics protection and construction projects, but it also realized the change from "archaeology before construction" to "archaeology before land transfer", making the land transfer a real "clean land", which is more conducive to developers’ investment and construction, and also has demonstration significance at the national level.

  The "Xi ‘an Model" for the protection of great sites, the implementation of the "Museum City" construction, and the publication of the first industry consensus document "Xi ‘an Declaration" in the field of international cultural heritage protection named after the city of China … On the basis of the protection of traditional objects, the memory of cultural symbols, and the development and utilization of tourism value, how to endow historical and cultural relics with new connotations and new vitality, so as to organically combine them with modern urban functions, industrial development, employment and citizens’ lives, It plays a greater role in enhancing the city’s value, developing modern civilization, and improving the living environment, so that the urban civilization can develop continuously, and at the same time, the historical and cultural heritage can be protected and utilized forever. Xi ‘an has been advancing through exploration.

  "Only by closely linking the protection of historical and cultural heritage with the expansion of modern urban functions, especially with the improvement of people’s lives, can history and culture be full of vitality, ‘ Cultural relics ’ In order to truly become ‘ Culture ’ Cultural relics can be truly ‘ Live ’ . For example, the opening of Daming Palace, Kunming Pool, Temple of Heaven and other sites has entered people’s lives in the form of public green spaces and parks. At present, Xi’ an is also actively exploring how to combine cultural relics protection with science and technology to better display cultural heritage, so that it can truly become a culture in the sense of people’s concepts and become a realistic and living culture, so that people can enjoy the dividends brought by cultural heritage protection. " Tang Long believes that only in this way can the development of modern cities be truly integrated with the protection of historical and cultural heritage, find a real foundation for the protection and display of historical and cultural heritage, and make historical culture a part of modern urban culture and people’s lives, thus becoming the core and soul of urban culture and enhancing the cultural self-confidence of the general public.

  "Let the cultural relics speak and tell people the historical wisdom", as the Supreme Leader General Secretary said, every cultural relic is the narrator of China’s good story, and with a heart of awe, it is the immediate meaning of "making cultural relics alive" to explore the expression that cultural relics are easily accepted by modern audiences, tap the value of cultural relics in the new era, attract the public, especially young people, and let more people join in the protection of cultural heritage.

  In the future, it is a test and a responsibility for Xi ‘an to integrate the natural geographical environment of a famous historical and cultural city with the internal texture of citizens’ life as a whole, and to show the historical and cultural development track of a thousand-year-old capital in a more comprehensive, three-dimensional and delicate way.

Reminder | Tick away the money? Think about this function of WeChat Alipay before using it.

  Cctv newsToday, no matter whether you go out for shopping or dining, it is no longer strange to take out your mobile phone and "sweep it". However, after the full popularity of online payment, the payment risk has become the biggest security risk for mobile phone users. Especially some payment functions, users may not know.

  No password, click and the money will be taken away!

  At a fast-food restaurant in Tianjin, Mr. Zhang pointed his mobile phone at the cash register and only heard a "beep" to end the whole payment process. However, what makes Mr. Zhang slightly puzzled is that there is no need to enter the payment password when paying.

  Ms. Sun reflected that when she used a debit card of China Bank to spend money, the payee completed the spending just like swiping a subway bus card, and did not need to enter a password.

  There are media tests. No matter using the payment function of WeChat or Alipay or the bank card with the function of "flash payment", there is no need to enter the payment password when the consumption does not exceed a certain amount, and there is no confirmation link for the payment price. This is because your functions of "small secret exemption" and "flash payment" are turned on.

  What are the functions of "small secret exemption" and "flash payment"?

  According to industry insiders, such payments as "small secret-free" and "flash payment" mean that when the consumption amount is lower than the limited value, the user can complete the consumption without entering a password. At present, many people have opened and used the function of "small amount of confidentiality" when paying. Although the payment process is simple and convenient, it is also easy for consumers to be stolen without knowing it.

  Searching for keywords on the Internet is not difficult to find that this "hidden danger" is not a case. Xiao Xu’s mobile phone was stolen from a hotel in a scenic spot in Hangzhou. Due to the secret-free function of WeChat micropayment, all the money in WeChat balance and bound bank card was stolen. Many people said, "It used to be the most troublesome to lose the phone book, but now I have to worry that the money connected to the phone may be gone."

  The function is turned on by default, and the economic loss is borne by the individual.

  According to the information of UnionPay, the issuing bank often sets the function of "small amount of confidentiality and visa exemption" together with "flash payment" as the default. When a cardholder conducts a transaction with a certain amount (RMB in 300 yuan, subject to the local limit overseas) or less, he only needs to put the bank card near the "flash payment" sensing area to complete the payment. In this process, the cardholder will not be asked to enter a password, and there is no need to sign.

  According to the customer service staff of China Bank, this kind of "small-sum secret-free" service with the logo of "quickpass for Flash Payment" on the card surface is opened by default, and no password is required for payment, and each transaction cannot exceed 300 yuan, and each card is capped at 2,000 yuan per day. If there is a security risk, the customer needs to bring his ID card to the bank outlet to cancel the business.

  In terms of mobile payment, Alipay’s "payment code" function is turned on by default, and its instructions state that it is not necessary to verify the payment password for every order less than or equal to 1000 yuan.

  It is also stated in the WeChat payment user service agreement that when the payment code is used to pay the consumption less than 3,000 yuan in 1000 yuan (a specific merchant), there is no need to verify the transaction instructions such as passwords, and the economic losses caused by loss and other behaviors are borne by individuals.

  Experts remind: security is the premise of convenient payment.

  Users often don’t know when this payment function is turned on, which has certain security risks. Experts said that relevant institutions should effectively inform users when opening such functions, and don’t forget the safety red line while pursuing convenience.

   Cheng Hua, an associate professor at the School of Economics of Renmin University of China, said that at present, payment institutions have not done enough in popularizing basic knowledge and informing relevant information, and many consumers have actively or passively opened this service without clearly understanding the advantages and disadvantages of a certain function. The supervision of "small-sum confidential exemption" must be strengthened. For accounts with intensive confidential payment, the payment institution should set up an early warning or even tracking mechanism, or delay the transfer to avoid the loss of users’ property.

  Cao Xingquan, a professor at the School of Civil and Commercial Law of Southwest University of Political Science and Law, believes that functional services such as "small-sum confidential payment" need to be set up with a prompt and delayed reading mechanism when they are opened. Relevant institutions or banks should solicit opinions from users when they are opened, and actively fulfill their obligation of explanation, and cannot simply open a function for users in the form of "default". As the last "safety line" of payment, passwords cannot be easily cancelled.

Putin says Russian economic strategy works

  Xinhua News Agency, St. Petersburg, June 16 (Reporter An Xiaomeng, Liu Kai) Russian President Vladimir Putin said at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum on June 16 that the second quarter of last year was the most difficult period for the Russian economy. Facts have proved that a series of strategic measures implemented by Russia at that time were effective and the economy showed growth momentum.

  Putin said that the Russian economy is improving because the government effectively combines budget and monetary policies, improves the freedom of enterprise development, provides targeted support for vulnerable groups such as the poor, accelerates the improvement of infrastructure in transportation and logistics, and promotes an open economy.

  Putin said that despite the difficulties in the past year, Russia still actively participated in the development of the world economy. Russia will not close its doors and is willing to create the necessary conditions for foreign manufacturers to operate in Russia.

  Oreshkin, assistant to the Russian President, said in April this year that since July 2022, the Russian economy has shown a positive growth trend and the unemployment rate has remained at a low level. It is estimated that by the end of 2023, Russia’s GDP will increase by 1% to 2%.

  The 2023 St. Petersburg International Economic Forum was held from 14th to 17th. The theme of this forum is "Sovereign development is the foundation of a just world, let’s work together to benefit future generations".

Original Ashton Chen: Wang Baoqiang has to bow when he meets, and his status is higher than Jackie Chan’s. Why was his life destroyed by his father?

Kung Fu movies have always been the "golden signboard" of Chinese movies. Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Jason Wu, Donnie Yen and other Kung Fu superstars have brought China Kung Fu to the world stage.

No matter in any part of the world, as long as you can do a trick and a half, you will be applauded by foreigners: Chinese Kung fu.

There is a famous martial arts star whose films have accompanied many people’s childhood. He is not only a teacher elder brother of Wang Baoqiang, but also has a higher seniority status than Jackie Chan.

He is "Kung Fu Kid" Ashton Chen.

His father hated iron and steel, so Ashton Chen, at the age of two, was sent to Shaolin Temple to practice martial arts.

Ashton Chen’s real name is Chen Xiaolong, and Ashton Chen’s father is Chen Tongshan. As a native of Dengfeng, Henan, Chen Tongshan is also a "practitioner".

Chen Tongshan was influenced by Shaolin Temple since he was a child. At the age of eight, he worshiped at the Shaolin Temple Gate. Not only was his stick skill superior, but his black tiger boxing was well known all over the world.

It is such a father who can cultivate excellent Ashton Chen.

In 1988, as soon as Chen Tongshan’s child was born, he was very happy as a new father, because he was a boy and his martial arts could be taught.

In 1990, Ashton Chen, at the age of two, not only had amazing bones, but also looked fine-eyed. He was really a martial arts wizard. Chen Tongshan sent Ashton Chen directly to Shaolin Temple without saying anything.

Ashton Chen, on the other hand, took Shi Yongxin, the director of Shaolin Temple, as his teacher, and the lay surname "Chen" was directly changed to "Shi".

Speaking of Shi Yongxin, Jackie Chan and his very good friends, although they are close friends on weekdays, Jackie Chan still calls him Master in the cast and formal occasions. In this way, Ashton Chen can be regarded as Jackie Chan’s "predecessor".

If there is a generation, Ashton Chen also has a younger brother, that is, Wang Baoqiang, the "stupid root" who is now in full swing in the film industry. Wang Baoqiang and Ashton Chen belong to the same school, and their feelings are very deep.

Although Ashton Chen was sent to Shaolin Temple and taught by the master, his father supervised his basic skills on weekdays.

When the two-year-old children around him couldn’t even run, Ashton Chen was dragged to practice by his father. Get up before five o’clock every morning, and do a lot of things, such as "ma bu", "squat jump" and "press your shoulders and open your legs".

Ashton Chen squealed, but a little neglect of Chen Tongshan added up his fists and feet, while his mother watched and felt distressed, and she didn’t dare to say anything, just stopped wiping her tears.

Sweat and tears are basically all of Ashton Chen’s childhood, and there is a more terrible shadow in this childhood experience, that is, a very strict father: Chen Tongshan.

The road to child stars is very hard, and the directors are so tired that they are distressed.

Chen Tongshan’s sternness is still very effective. In 1992, at the age of 4, Ashton Chen won two international Shaolin Wushu awards. In the second year, Ashton Chen was selected by Henan Satellite TV to perform martial arts on the children’s stage.

In the same year, a film company in Taiwan took a fancy to this talented martial arts child star, and the signing soon meant that Ashton Chen, at the age of five, officially made her debut in the entertainment industry.

Seeing that his son can finally earn money, Chen Tongshan was relieved and gradually reduced his management of "martial arts" in Ashton Chen. Instead, he specially invited a Shaolin boxer to guide him, and by the way, he also invited a tutor to help Ashton Chen culture.

In 1994, Ashton Chen was invited by the crew of "Cyclone Boy", and at the same time, Hao Shaowen, another child star at that time, became a good brother of Ashton Chen screen.

I finally got rid of my father’s discipline, but I never thought that Chen Tongshan volunteered to be the deputy director of "Cyclone Boy", which made Ashton Chen feel pressured again.

Once when shooting a difficult action, Ashton Chen, who was hanging a tightrope for the first time, cried in the air, but his father didn’t ask, and even Ashton Chen accidentally fell from the air to the ground in the next shot.

This is too much for an adult, let alone a 5-year-old child. Watching his son cry and vomit, Chen Tongshan showed no mercy, and even shouted: Don’t cry, you are a man.

As a director, Zhu Yanping said distressfully: What kind of man is a child with a pacifier in his mouth?

One day’s filming, Ashton Chen called his mother crying to go home, while Chen Tongshan grabbed the phone and hung up, pointing to Ashton Chen, saying: It is normal for people who practice martial arts to get up early and be greedy for the dark, and they can achieve great things without suffering!

Give Ashton Chen three rules: No lateness, no laziness and no coquetry. Under the majesty of his father, Ashton Chen didn’t dare to say a rebuttal.

With the popularity of the film, the two child stars have become well-known child star partners.

Seeing that his son’s popularity is getting higher and higher, Chen Tongshan’s wallet is getting bigger and bigger, because not only does he supervise Ashton Chen’s filming, Chen Tongshan is also the agent and agent of Ashton Chen.

Watching his grandson work so hard, Grandpa Ashton Chen pleaded with Chen Tongshan.

Most child stars were sent to study by their parents after they were young. Both Zray and Andy were "good brothers" and Zifeng Zhang, a fellow villager in Ashton Chen, insisted on studying after they became famous.

Chen Tongshan, on the other hand, didn’t let Ashton Chen learn knowledge and culture. Instead, he intensified his efforts to sign many plays for Ashton Chen, and his itinerary was full of calendars.

The following shaolin popey, Young Huang Feihong and Ten Brothers were all arranged by Chen Tongshan for Ashton Chen during that time.

Due to the blockbuster movie, Ashton Chen was suddenly upgraded from a child star in the mainland to an "Asian Kung Fu Kid". Many parents saw Ashton Chen’s success and sent their children to Shaolin Temple to study.

During that time, Shaolin Temple was full of people, and there was an endless stream of people coming to learn martial arts from teachers. Some parents even set up tents outside the temple to wait for opportunities.

But a few people know the pain. In the movie, Hao Shaowen often smiles foolishly, which is the innocence that a child should have, while Ashton Chen always has a gloomy and serious expression.

This is the very different childhood of two children of the same grade.

In 1997, due to missing his grandson, Ashton Chen’s grandfather went to Hengdian to visit his grandson. Unexpectedly, this trip made the old man feel heartbroken.

Ashton Chen collapsed directly in the chair and fell asleep after a scene. At dinner time, Ashton Chen continued filming because of a scene, and finally finished filming the noodles made by Grandpa himself. Ashton Chen fell asleep in the chair before he could eat them.

Seeing that his grandson was so young and so miserable, grandpa insisted on taking his grandson home, and even begged Chen Tongshan: Is this what children should do? Whose parents are so cruel?

Of course, such a plea can’t impress the cruel Chen Tongshan, and things didn’t get better until Ashton Chen was 10 years old.

In 1998, seeing other people’s children go to school, Ashton Chen also cried and begged his father to let him go to school. Only then did Chen Tongshan relent for the first time and promised Ashton Chen to attend the third grade.

So Ashton Chen finally took up his schoolbag for the first time and went to the children to go to school happily like a normal child.

The son earns money and spends money with his father, while the father regards Ashton Chen as a cash cow.

Soon after, the cast of "Young Bao Qingtian" found Chen Tongshan, saying that there was a lack of a child who played the young Zhan Zhao, and Ashton Chen met all the requirements of the director.

After talking about the pay, Chen Tongshan pulled Ashton Chen out of school.

Although everyone in the family objected to Chen Tongshan’s practice, Chen Tongshan, who had been blinded by greed, stuck to his guns and sent Ashton Chen to the crew.

Ashton Chen’s school career, which lasted less than half a month, ended. The family has always said that Chen Tongshan regards his own son as a money-making tool and a cash cow, and even makes his children work hard to earn money regardless of life.

To say how Chen Tongshan "pitted" Ashton Chen, we should start with Ashton Chen’s early fame.

Being famous since childhood, "visionary" Chen Tongshan directly registered nine companies and schools, all of which were under the name of Ashton Chen, and kept collecting money.

Chen Tongshan, who has long been worth over 100 million yuan, never told Ashton Chen anything about "money", but just let Ashton Chen make money for himself.

Once, a female student in a martial arts school under the name of Chen Tongshan died unexpectedly. The school gave the answer that there was something wrong with the child. At that time, the teacher said that the child had always been in good health. In the long run, Ashton Chen, as a "spokesperson", was pushed to the forefront.

Under all kinds of names, Ashton Chen also realized that his father had opened so many schools by virtue of his fame.

Later, with the deepening of the investigation, more stories were dug up little by little.

Not only the martial arts and the company, but also Chen Tongshan, the catering and film and television industry, was founded under the name of his son. Ashton Chen, the spokesman and planner, was kept in the dark, but there was only one shareholder in the company: Chen Tongshan, Ashton Chen’s father.

Fading away from his childhood aura, Ashton Chen is no longer the well-known "Kung Fu Boy".

I was cheated by my father, but I didn’t get any money, which made Ashton Chen gradually understand his father’s "conspiracy".

Ashton Chen grew up with the ability to think independently, and the relationship between father and son began to deteriorate slowly.

I don’t know whether it was a conscience or a fear of losing my "cash cow". In 2003, Chen Tongshan finally agreed to Ashton Chen and sent his son to study abroad.

Ashton Chen discovered how wonderful the outside world was when he went abroad. Ashton Chen ignored the past and sent a message to his father abroad, "Thank you, Dad". Only Chen Tongshan knows how much bitterness these four people have revealed.

A few years later, Ashton Chen, who came back from studying abroad, wanted to develop in the entertainment circle with the help of his previous fame as a child, but he never thought that the development of his motherland was beyond his imagination.

Not only talented people come forth in large numbers, but also with the rapid development of the times, the film and television industry has been updated rapidly, and Ashton Chen’s figure and appearance after puberty are quite different from before.

Once "Jackie Chan’s successor" was once dubbed as "a child star with a long disability". There was really no way out. Ashton Chen returned to his hometown in Henan and relied on his previous interpersonal relationship to be a guest in Wulin Wind on Henan TV.

Later, although he starred in several films, the response was mediocre, which made Ashton Chen once lost.

Falling in love with He Jie, but being rejected by his father again, Ashton Chen’s emotional road is full of twists and turns

Although it is not easy in career, Ashton Chen has not left behind emotionally.

I had a love affair with "Xiaoli" Yang Xiaoli in the film "Young Bao Qingtian" before, and that was Ashton Chen’s first love, but then, after Yang Xiaoli became famous, he went abroad to study, and their relationship ended.

In 2010, in the cast of a play, Ashton Chen and He Jie were on intimate terms, and they became a couple at sunrise, even when they went shopping, they did not forget to show their love.

After falling in love with He Jie, Ashton Chen’s lace has never been broken. Some people say that they neglected their career for love, and some people said that they were married. In short, it was not easy for Ashton Chen during that time.

Fortunately, they broke up soon after, and He Jie announced her marriage shortly after she left Ashton Chen. On the day of He Jie’s wedding, Ashton Chen also sent a blessing.

To say that Ashton Chen broke up with He Jie, there was no less fanning the flames among Chen Tongshan.

First of all, it is said that they lack emotional foundation, and then both of them are developing their careers with the help of each other. In the end, they really can’t say the past, so they just talk about their age.

He Jie is two years older than Ashton Chen, and Chen Tongshan has always disliked He Jie because of this, which led to their parting ways in the end.

In 2013, Ashton Chen dated Wang Ruoyi, a post-80s geek. This girl, who is superior to He Jie in both appearance and figure, graduated from Chinese opera and made a big splash in her career. However, this blessed relationship seems to have ended before it started.

Ashton Chen’s emotional experience, which is still single, is full of twists and turns.

Is it a "dream of success" or a "pit ghost"? Where does 32-year-old Ashton Chen go?

A few years ago, in a diving variety show, Ashton Chen’s assistant drowned in the recording process, and Ashton Chen’s reputation was once again hit. In addition, Ashton Chen’s career seemed to come to an abrupt end.

In recent years, Ashton Chen has rarely appeared, but most of them are only guest appearances in movies, and when he appears in media reports, he is basically living.

Although Ashton Chen, 32, looks carefree in material life, she is still single. The brand-name luxury goods of sports cars under the seat are also earned by previous efforts.

It is said that his father, Chen Tongshan, hates iron and does not produce steel, so that Ashton Chen can find his own way out early. Others say that Chen Tongshan is a "pit ghost" attached to Ashton Chen.

Whether it is right or wrong, Ashton Chen has never accused his father of these behaviors. It may be filial piety or that his father has made up for what he once lost. In short, Ashton Chen is now in an embarrassing period with no drama to shoot.

Since ancient times, people have died for wealth, and birds have died for food. What Chen Tongshan has done to Ashton Chen has always been to treat his children as a father, and "it is difficult for an honest official to decide housework". I hope that the future development of Ashton Chen can be independent.

I also wish Ashton Chen to get out of the trough as soon as possible, and her career and love are thriving.

The first preview of Noah’s Ark
 

    The 3D concert movie "Noah’s Ark" on May Day announced yesterday that it would once again use the stage charm to "approach" the cinema audience by announcing the first trailer. This 3D movie, after two years of shooting, once again turned the cinema into a concert scene in 3D form. I believe that music shows that this time, in addition to mobilizing more material resources, the latest aerial photography and other technologies are used to record concerts in Beijing Bird’s Nest and other cities. In addition to making the performance of Mayday three-dimensional and more "close at hand", the fans’ feelings are also recorded. At present, the whole film Noah’s Ark is in post-production and is expected to be released this fall.

 

  Stage panorama
 
3D Noah’s Ark made a preview to record the life course of Mayday and the audience.
 
    The 3D concert movie Noah’s Ark recently exposed a 60-second trailer, officially announcing that the concert movie of Mayday is about to strike again after two years of disobedience. The Noah’s Ark concert was held in 71 performances in 40 cities, with a total of 2.48 million people participating in the rebirth carnival. In the trailer released this time, the picture of fans singing revelry and even crying with the High on May Day is full of appeal, which makes people feel like they are at the concert scene.
 
    In the trailer, the carnival scene of the Mayday concert is reproduced. The fans are holding blue light sticks, as if they are in a blue ocean, and some fans are excited to cry, which makes people experience the charm and atmosphere of the Mayday live singing. The film was filmed with the revival of Noah’s Ark World Tour Concert on May Day. The company said that the fans’ feelings and experiences in the past two years were also recorded in the picture through the lens, hoping that fans could relive their feelings through the film.
 
International team creates "Mayday is just around the corner"
 
    In 2011, the first Chinese 3D music film was released and was well received by fans. Two years later, the new work Noah’s Ark was still filmed in 3D technology, and the German team responsible for the Olympic opening ceremony and the World Cup soccer broadcast was invited to shoot with various high-tech equipment such as universal camera Spidercam, creating more realistic stage effects and sensory shock. The preview "When tomorrow is far away, May Day is just around the corner" not only announces that the film will be released soon, but also means that the 3D effect of the film is excellent, and even makes people have the "illusion" that May Day is just around the corner when watching movies. In addition, Jerry Yan, Ariel Lin and Lin Huimin, the leading actor, were invited to play in the film.
 
    The 3D movie "Noah’s Ark" has been filmed, and post-production is under way, which is expected to be released this fall.

Long-term testing of Buick LaCrosse is worth recommending

  [car home Long-term Test] For SAIC-GM, Buick LaCrosse can definitely be called the master Hua Dan. Since it was introduced to China in 2006, after three generations, Buick LaCrosse has formed a certain popularity and reputation in the field of medium-sized cars with its luxurious and atmospheric appearance and comfortable driving performance. On March 18th this year, a new generation of LaCrosse was officially launched. In addition to inheriting the family’s consistent luxury and comfort characteristics, the appearance, interior modeling and overall configuration performance of the whole vehicle kept pace with the times. Of course, it is different from the years of the previous two generations. In the era when Rongyu and Boulevard are gone, the new LaCrosse will also shoulder the heavy responsibility of the family flagship car. At the same time, its current consumer group is also younger, from the first two generations of models after 50 s and 70 s to the 75-80 s. Having said that, what is the performance of the new LaCrosse? We got the long test car one month after listing. In the next year, as the first car owners, we will experience this model in detail from various aspects such as the use experience of various configurations, fuel consumption performance and after-sales service experience.

Home of the car

  Introduce myself briefly. I am Sheng Yuanjun, editor of Shanghai Sub-station. If you often watch car home, you should have seen me in many articles. Of course, whether you have "seen me" before or not, in short, it is a kind of fate to see here, so I will say hello to all netizens first. As for why I perform the long tESt, first of all, my own car is a lexus es, which is also one of the competing products of the brand-new LaCrosse in a broad sense; Secondly, I have used Royaum and Laolacrosse for a long time; That is to say, I may be able to discover more details of the new LaCrosse from the dual perspectives of competing owners and old users. Of course, many people gather firewood, so if you are a new and old LaCrosse owner, or an intentional customer with money to buy, or if you have any questions and want to know during the use, I sincerely invite you to come.My editorial blogLeave a message. 

■ Why did you choose the LaCrosse 28T flagship for long-term testing?

  The first question, why did you choose the lacrosse 28T flagship for long-term measurement? In fact, it is normal for many netizens to have doubts about why long-term test articles often choose top models. Because in all fairness, for many consumers, for the sake of cost performance, there are not too many people who buy top matching. Then why do we choose the best match to make an issue of it? In fact, there are two main considerations. First of all, the top models are the most complete, so we can have a more comprehensive and detailed experience of the new car; Secondly, consumers choose different models, and choosing the top one can better experience and explain the questions raised by netizens. At the same time, we will share the experience of specific functions with you through this year’s experience, and give purchase recommendations based on actual experience, which may be helpful for your car purchase.

SAIC-GM Buick LaCrosse 2016 28T flagship model

  The new LaCrosse has two power systems, namely, the 20T model with 1.5T+7-speed dual clutch gearbox and the 28T model with 2.0T engine +6AT gearbox. From the measured results, the 0-100km/h acceleration test results of 20T model are 9.14 seconds, and that of 28T model is 6.95 seconds, which are all good overall, but the performance gap is quite obvious (test article). Of course, from the perspective of vehicle positioning, the 20T vehicle mainly shoulders the task of lowering the vehicle threshold; The 28T model can provide more calm power performance, and it is more consistent with its body over 5 meters. Therefore, for buyers whose budgets are not very tight, I personally recommend the 28T model.

SAIC-GM Buick LaCrosse 2016 28T flagship model

  Briefly analyze the configuration differences of the new LaCrosse 28T model. There are three models of 28T: elite model, luxury model and flagship model, and the prices are 269,800 yuan, 299,800 yuan and 339,800 yuan respectively. First of all, the front double airbags, side air curtains, head air curtains, body stability control system and tire pressure monitoring are all standard configurations, and panoramic sunroof, head-up display and front seat ventilation and heating functions are all available. It can be said that the configuration performance is very rich.

SAIC-GM Buick LaCrosse 2016 28T flagship model

  For self-driving users, the luxurious configuration is actually very good, such as front seat massage, electric adjustment of rear seat angle, reversing image, ACC full-speed adaptive cruise, LKA lane keeping system, LCA lane change assistance, SBZA side blind zone warning, FCA front collision warning and a series of high-tech configurations are all available, which is completely enough for front seat buyers. The top model costs 40,000 yuan more than the luxury model, which is much more important.19-inch aluminum alloy rim, rear seat ventilation, heating and massage functions, rear multifunctional central armrest, rear electric sunshade, rear side airbag and three-zone independent air conditioning.Wait. It can be said that this40,000 yuan is almost all for the rear passengers.. As for whether the above-mentioned series of configurations are easy to use and which ones will be used more frequently, I will slowly analyze my experience for you in the next long-term test.

■ Appearance: luxurious, atmospheric, and a lot younger.

  I feel very satisfied with the appearance of the brand-new LaCrosse. From the perceptual level, it retains the luxurious temperament of LaCrosse based on the traditional impression, and at the same time, the brand-new design style makes it look much younger than the old one, with smooth overall lines and stretched body proportion. High-grade also reveals the visual feeling of youth and fashion, which is not available in the old model. Therefore, our colleagues joked that when driving a brand-new LaCrosse, we finally found the feeling of driving our own car, unlike when driving the old model, we always felt that we were driving "dad’s car".

  The rear shape of the new LaCrosse is very distinctive, and the shape of the taillight is the finishing touch. It greatly improves the overall recognition of the rear of the car, and also further enhances the lateral visual width, making the visual center of gravity of the whole car look lower. Of course, the beauty and ugliness of the appearance are different, but it is undeniable that at least the appearance of the new LaCrosse has already had the ability to impress the post-80 s consumer groups, which has been recognized by many colleagues in our company. 

■ Interior: Stretch in shape and high-grade in materials.

  The interior of the new LaCrosse also pays great attention to the shaping of horizontal effect, and the overall materials are very elegant and the workmanship is quite exquisite. The center console, including the door panel, is made of soft materials and wrapped in leather in a large area, which has excellent visual effect and touch. What’s more worth mentioning is that the center console and the door panel are all "real stitches", not "fake stitches" formed by molding. This small detail is very important for the promotion of the grade.

The following video shows the electric adjustment of the rear seats.

More exciting videos are all on the car home video platform.

SAIC-GM Buick LaCrosse 2016 28T flagship model

  Interior configuration, our long-distance test car adopts the very popular black and brown two-color collocation, and the seat is made of leather+suede, which has a strong sense of grade and the actual ride quality is also very good. The first feeling when sitting is that the seat is very soft, but after sitting down, you can feel that the seat has good support for the body, and you won’t feel backache after sitting for a long time. What’s more, its four seats also have ventilation, heating and massage functions, which are not available in many higher-level medium and large-sized seats.

SAIC-GM Buick LaCrosse 2016 28T flagship model

SAIC-GM Buick LaCrosse 2016 28T flagship model

  In terms of power, our 28T model uses a combination of a 2.0T turbocharged engine and a 6-speed automatic manual transmission. The maximum power of the engine is 261 HP and the maximum torque is 350 Nm. Its maximum power is 7 horsepower higher than that of the old model. The measured 0-100km/h acceleration of the new LaCrosse is only 6.95 seconds, which is very obvious compared with the old 8.4 seconds.

  In the actual driving process, the power performance of the 28T model is comfortable, the driving power output in urban areas is smooth, the first feeling of driving is much lighter than that of the old model, and the action of the gearbox is also very gentle, and the shifting logic is more reasonable. When you need to overtake, step on the accelerator a little deeply, and the strong power reserve will be generate at any time. The whole process of acceleration and overtaking will be very confident and calm. Of course, because we haven’t been driving this car for a long time, and we are basically driving in the urban area, I will share how the high-speed cruise performance is in future articles.

■ Installation of driving recorder

  The popularity of driving recorder in recent years can be said to have risen linearly. When I first installed driving recorder 4-5 years ago, it was still a "new thing", but now almost all my friends around me have "one car per car", and even many taxis have installed it. The function of driving recorder is self-evident, and I don’t want to discuss it more.

SAIC-GM Buick LaCrosse 2016 28T flagship model

  The driving recorder is good, as everyone knows. However, the main problem that some friends don’t want to install is that it is ugly to hang a wire in the car after installation, but they are afraid that the broken wire will affect the circuit warranty. Today, I will briefly talk to you about my installation and wiring experience. First of all, we install the driving recorder near the central rearview mirror, then insert the wire along the edge of the roof, and then route it along the door sealing strip through the A-pillar to lead it to the vicinity of the glove box.

SAIC-GM Buick LaCrosse 2016 28T flagship model

SAIC-GM Buick LaCrosse 2016 28T flagship model

SAIC-GM Buick LaCrosse 2016 28T flagship model

  Then insert the thread into the gap between the glove box and the interior trim panel, and then guide it to the vicinity of the center console, and also insert it into the gap between the plastic parts and the carpet. Finally, I took a short open wire to introduce the 12V power interface into the storage area at the lower part of the center console. Wiring like mine, although not perfect, is undoubtedly very simple, and can be done by myself without any auxiliary tools, and there is no worry about breaking the wire to connect the reading lamp or fuse. At the same time, there is another advantage of this wiring method, namely, in terms of disassembly, it is very simple in case the driving recorder fails and needs to be replaced, or if you change a new car and need to dismantle it. If you are interested, you can try it. If you have any questions during the installation process, you can also feel free toMy editorial blogLeave a message.

■ Micro-experience

  There are many USB interfaces in the car, which is easy to use! The storage compartment is designed reasonably!

  During the short time that LaCrosse came to our editorial department, a large number of USB interfaces on the car were well received by my colleagues and me. In this car, there are four USB ports in the front and rear, among which the front port is located in the central armrest, and can be connected to a mobile phone or identify a USB flash drive. The two USB power supplies in the back row are located below the air outlet, but the rear port cannot read data and can only be used for charging. Of course, if a higher requirement is put forward, it will be more convenient to add another 220V power interface in the back row.

SAIC-GM Buick LaCrosse 2016 28T flagship model

SAIC-GM Buick LaCrosse 2016 28T flagship model

SAIC-GM Buick LaCrosse 2016 28T flagship model

  In addition to many USB interfaces, there is another one that is easy to use and leaves a good impression that its storage space is reasonably designed. Conventional cup holders and door storage compartments will not be discussed today, but will be introduced in detail later. Let’s talk about my first feeling this week. First of all, there is a groove in the frame of the central armrest, which can be used for taking the phone cable, and the storage compartment is just used for putting the phone, and the data cable of the phone can be stuffed in it at ordinary times, which is very convenient. Secondly, the car uses an electronic gear handle, so there is a lot of storage space in the lower part of the central channel of the center console. Here I usually put paper towels, 12V one-to-three power sockets, parking cards, oil cards, etc., which are hidden, beautiful and not easy to be seen by outsiders. Of course, I need to remind you that it is not recommended to put something like a water bottle that is tall and easy to roll, in case it slips under your feet and there are hidden dangers. 

  The front lip looks low from the ground, so you should pay attention to parking.

  It should be noted that there is a ring of rubber front lip at the bottom of the new LaCrosse front bumper, which looks lower. After actual measurement, the height of the front lip from the ground is about 16cm (similar to the height of iPhone6 Plus), and we have also roughly observed the height of the limit bar of common parking spaces, and the basic height is between 13 and 16 cm, which is just right. Of course, in case of touching the ultra-high parking limit lever and scraping the front lip, we suggest that you try to back the car into the parking space. (What is the concept of 13-16cm? For a reference, the height of iPhone6 is 13.81cm, and that of iPhone6 Plus is 15.81cm.)

  Of course, regarding the height, we also randomly sketched several models. Among them, the ground clearance between the gears in front of the wheels of Mondeo and the old LaCrosse is even lower than that of the new LaCrosse, only about 15.5cm. Therefore, from the data point of view, in fact, the height of the front lip of the new LaCrosse is higher than the front fender of these two models, but it is still lower than Passat’s 17.5cm spacing. Of course, this front lip can optimize the aerodynamic performance, and its existence will not cause much damage even if it scratches the parking limit bar or the road teeth. After all, it is a soft rubber piece, which can reduce the probability of direct damage to the front bumper. As for why it gives people a feeling that the front lip is particularly low, the main reason is that its installation position is very front and its size is relatively large.

■ Long-term fuel consumption measurement:

  From the time we picked up the car to the time this article went online, we refueled the car twice, with a total mileage of more than 700 kilometers, but basically all of them were driving in Shanghai, so the average speed was particularly low, and the air conditioner was in an automatic state and A/C was on all the way. The average speed of the first tank of oil is less than 20km/h, and the average speed of the second tank of oil is only 23 km/h. Finally, the statistical data shows that its measured fuel consumption is 12.4L/100km. I think this value is acceptable for a "big car" with a 2.0T engine, which is more than 5 meters long and less than 1,000 kilometers.

  This refueling, we just caught up with the first rise in oil prices after six consecutive stops. The unit price of No.95 gasoline in Shanghai increased from 5.88 yuan/liter to 6.02 yuan/liter. Based on the second refueling of 44.61 liters and 268.55 yuan, the fuel cost per kilometer is 0.74 yuan according to the calculation of 363 kilometers.

● First summary:

  At this point, the first update of the new LaCrosse long test has come to an end. On the whole, my first impression of this car is very good. Its appearance is luxurious and atmospheric, but it is no longer old-fashioned. For me in my thirties, driving is also quite decent, and I won’t feel like driving a "dad’s car". At the same time, the interior atmosphere is very luxurious, and the materials are very advanced. In addition, because it is a top car, the satisfaction of configuration is also very strong. Power performance, after a short experience, the combination of 2.0T engine and +6AT on the new LaCrosse 28T model has made great progress compared with the old model, with abundant power and more considerate gearbox. You can almost ignore its existence in daily driving. For vehicles that pursue comfort, my understanding of gearbox is "the gearbox that makes it easier for you to ignore it is the better gearbox." Of course, it is obviously not enough to draw a conclusion on a car model with a short experience of only a few hundred kilometers. The significance of starting a long-term test program is to treat ourselves as car owners and completely simulate daily use. Therefore, in the next year, we will bring you more and more detailed experiences, so stay tuned.

  Finally, one more sentence. Dear netizens, if you are interested in the brand-new LaCrosse and have any questions about this car, please feel free to visit.My editorial blogLeave a message in the blog, and I will try my best to answer or update it in subsequent articles. See you next time, everyone. (Text/Figure car home Sheng Yuanjun)

  [car home Long-term Test] In a blink of an eye, from the end of April to now, it’s almost a month since the brand-new LaCrosse came to our side, and the accumulated mileage has also exceeded 2,000 kilometers. During this period, it not only replaced my own lexus ES as a daily transportation vehicle, but also took on the task of daily work vehicle for Shanghai editorial department. It’s time to share its driving experience with you today.

Home of the car

  Let’s introduce the power system first. The new LaCrosse provides two kinds of power, 20T and 28T, in which the 20T model adopts the power combination of 1.5T+7DCT and the 28T model adopts the combination of 2.0T+6AT. The 28T flagship in our hand is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine which was awarded as "Top Ten Engine of Ward", with a maximum power of 261 HP and a maximum torque of 350 Nm. Among them, the maximum power is increased by 7 horsepower compared with the old model, and the maximum torque value is consistent. It can be said that such book data performance is at the leading level in the same class.

  Matching this 2.0T engine is a 6-speed automatic manual transmission, and it uses an electronic gear that is rare in the same class, which looks quite classy. I recorded a short video for interested friends to read.

More exciting videos are all on the car home video platform. 

Driving experience

  Let’s talk about the daily driving experience first. To be honest, I have driven three generations of Buick LaCrosse in China. The first generation of models can be described as pure American style, very comfortable, but not any driving pleasure; By the second generation, it has achieved a certain balance between driving and riding feelings, and the driving feeling is more popular with Chinese people, but it is still not fun to drive, and it feels even dull.

SAIC-GM Buick LaCrosse 2016 28T flagship model

  Based on the driving expectation of the second-generation LaCrosse, when I drove a brand-new LaCrosse, it gave me a very good first impression. First of all, the original wooden feeling is completely gone. The first feeling of the new LaCrosse is very light, the throttle feedback is very sensitive, and the strength of the direction is also appropriate. More importantly, the A-pillar has undergone a brand-new design. The obstacle angle (driver’s side) has been reduced from 6 degrees to 2.3 degrees, and the passenger’s side has been reduced from 3.5 degrees to 0.6 degrees. The width of the lower end of the A-pillar has been reduced by 100mm, and the upper visual field has been improved by 1.3 degrees. Although these data are cold, the intuitive feeling is that the driver’s vision has been significantly improved, which also adds a lot to its first impression.

SAIC-GM Buick LaCrosse 2016 28T flagship model

  In terms of power, the performance of the new LaCrosse of 28T is more than enough. The strong power reserve makes it look comfortable whether it accelerates slowly or overtakes in the middle. The driver doesn’t have to step on his right foot too much, so it can provide a very calm and decent speed-up performance. However, we measured the 0-100km/h acceleration in less than 7 seconds, and the performance was also very excellent, which can be said to be a leap forward compared with the old 8.4 seconds.

SAIC-GM Buick LaCrosse 2016 28T flagship model

SAIC-GM Buick LaCrosse 2016 28T flagship model

  Every time I mention the gearbox of GM, many netizens seem to be particularly concerned. The official name of the 6-speed automatic manual transmission used in the 28T model is the third generation product, which optimizes the adjustment. Of course, what parameters have been changed is naturally kept secret by the manufacturer, but as far as feelings are concerned, its daily performance can still satisfy me. In daily driving, its shift timing is well grasped, and its ride comfort performance is excellent, and the sense of frustration is hard to detect. In short, it will not brush the sense of existence in front of the driver when you drive calmly every day, and it wants to be a good gearbox. Basic literacy. This, it did.

SAIC-GM Buick LaCrosse 2016 28T flagship model

  Of course, my evaluation of this gearbox is not bad, but it is not perfect. Why do you say that? The main reason is that it will be a little hesitant to downshift when accelerating sharply. The main performance state is that when you cruise at a speed of 80km/h or more, you need to accelerate rapidly at this time. After you step on the accelerator with your big foot, it will be slower for the gearbox to drop from the sixth gear to the second gear, and it will only bring about a power explosion if you pause for a moment, which cannot be completely synchronized with the driver’s psychological expectation. Although the subsequent power output is very strong, the smooth driving rhythm will indeed be affected. The new LaCrosse can be said that it is not a product suitable for you to drive violently with the big foot throttle and big foot brake, but usually walks around the city or highway unhurriedly, and can provide strong power guarantee when you need to accelerate rapidly, which is the most suitable use state of LaCrosse.

SAIC-GM Buick LaCrosse 2016 28T flagship model

SAIC-GM Buick LaCrosse 2016 28T flagship model

  The car is equipped with the second generation CDC full-time active hydraulic suspension system, which can scan the road condition at a frequency of 100 times per second and adjust the damping in real time. On the whole, the chassis suspension of the new LaCrosse is very pleasing, and it feels heavy, solid and steady. Under the premise of ensuring comfort, the suspension handles the bumps on the road cleanly, and the body will not have too many ups and downs and bounces. In addition, the car also has a sport mode option. In sport mode, its shift logic, steering force and suspension damping will be adjusted accordingly. In short, the main tone of the new LaCrosse is still comfort-oriented, which is also in line with its product positioning.

SAIC-GM Buick LaCrosse 2016 28T flagship model

  Of course, in order to open up a relatively younger user market and let more consumers around the age of 30 and 35 readily accept the LaCrosse, its driving quality is indeed more gratifying than that of the old model. Although it is far from strong driving pleasure, it is obviously much lighter and more dexterous than that of the old model.

■ Micro-experience

Home of the car

  Remote car locking and keyless entry are very, very basic functions for this class of cars, which are not worth mentioning at first, but why did I introduce them in the micro-experience in this issue? This is because the new LaCrosse has dug deep into the details of this very inconspicuous function, giving the driver more independent choices for locking the door and the remote key function.

SAIC-GM Buick LaCrosse 2016 28T flagship model

SAIC-GM Buick LaCrosse 2016 28T flagship model

  Simply put, the owner can set the automatic locking of the car door, the lighting when unlocking by remote control, the feedback of the horn, the control of the remote control window and the working state of the ventilated and heated seat when starting remotely. It is very convenient for car owners to personalize their car locks according to their car habits. For example, I often park in a three-dimensional garage, and its automatic door lock function is particularly useful. When you leave the vehicle with the key, the vehicle will automatically lock in about 10 seconds, which not only saves you the trouble of taking out the key, but also saves you the action of pressing the small key on the door, which can be described as "lazy people’s favorite". Of course, using this function depends on your specific car environment. If the surrounding environment is complicated, I think it is still prudent to use it, and it is more reassuring to click it yourself.

■ Long-term fuel consumption measurement:

Home of the car

  Up to this update, the mileage of our brand-new LaCrosse has also exceeded 2,500 kilometers, and the actual measured average fuel consumption is 11L/100km. During the sixth refueling period, the car took more high-speed and ring roads, and went to Chongming, Fengxian and Pudong Airport once, so the average speed reached 35km/h and the fuel consumption was relatively low. And the other times are basically the road conditions we use every day. Of course, at first glance, for a brand-new LaCrosse equipped with a 2.0T engine, I am quite satisfied with the comprehensive fuel consumption performance of 11L/100km.

■ Editor’s summary:

  Generally speaking, the driving quality of the new LaCrosse can be said to exceed my expectations. The power performance is excellent, and the gearbox is conscientious in its daily performance. Although there is a situation that the downshift is slightly slow when it accelerates sharply, after all, the probability of sudden acceleration is not high for ordinary drivers, and the power reserve of the 28T model is strong, so it is generally not necessary to step on the accelerator to fully meet the overtaking needs in most cases. As for the performance of suspension, steering and sound insulation, the performance of the new LaCrosse is also very decent. In a word, it is a "big car" with easy driving and comfortable sitting. The brand-new appearance and interior modeling make it easier to win the hearts of young people, and the more relaxed and comfortable driving experience than the old one makes it more pleasing.

  [car home Long-term Test] Hello, netizens, it’s time to update Buick’s brand-new LaCrosse long-term test article. I’ll talk to you about the car’s multimedia entertainment system in this update. With a pinch of fingers, it has been about two months since I took over this brand-new LaCrosse in late April. The multimedia system can be said to be used every day. It is said that people will see it for a long time. Although strictly speaking, the time is not too long, I think I have achieved a basic understanding of it and can share it with you.

Home of the car

  Let’s first introduce this multimedia system of the brand-new LaCrosse. The screen size is 8 inches, and it is a hard screen with frosted texture, and it adopts a design similar to "borderless". The overall shape is more unified with the style of the center console, and the frosted screen can also prevent fingerprints from sticking to the screen to a great extent, which is relatively beautiful.

SAIC-GM Buick LaCrosse 2016 28T flagship model

  Of course, after talking so much about the advantages of frosted screens, I also found some shortcomings in the process of using them. Mainly in the case of reflection, sometimes the screen will look a little fuzzy, not as clear as the highlight screen. I think that if you have used frosted screen for mobile phone film, you should feel it.

  For friends who have driven GM’s brand models, the menu interface of this multimedia entertainment system on the new LaCrosse should be very familiar. The main menu is eight icons, including telephone, navigation, media, mapping, text, air conditioning, settings and OnStar. The order of icons can be set by the driver freely. At the same time, it is also designed with up to five shortcut menus, which are located at the upper edge of the screen. From my personal point of view, I chose telephone, media, navigation, air conditioning and mapping, and these five are my most commonly used ones at the top.

SAIC-GM Buick LaCrosse 2016 28T flagship model

SAIC-GM Buick LaCrosse 2016 28T flagship model

  The upper left corner of the screen shows the temperature outside the car, and the upper right corner shows the time. After clicking, you can enter the clock display and setting interface. At this time, the virtual quartz clock looks quite beautiful. As for the pull-up button at the bottom of the screen, it is a radio shortcut menu after clicking on it, so there is not much to introduce. It is worth mentioning that the response speed of this multimedia system is quite fast and the operation is relatively smooth. Basically, there will be no jamming phenomenon that affects the use experience.

SAIC-GM Buick LaCrosse 2016 28T flagship model

  In the entertainment system, except for the CD player, the compatibility of Bluetooth, USB, AUX IN and other functions is very good, especially when the most commonly used mobile phone is played, whether it is the player that comes with the system or the third-party App software such as QQ music, Baidu music and Dragonfly FM, etc. can also be very compatible. Of course, the cover can’t be displayed in Bluetooth mode, but it can be displayed by connecting with data cable, which is consistent with other models we have experienced.

  In terms of mobile phone mapping, the new LaCrosse is compatible with Apple CarPlay and Baidu CarLife. After connecting the mobile phone with a data cable, the original mapping icon will become a CarPlay icon, and after clicking it, it will enter the carplay menu. As for the specific functions, it can be said that CarPlay is the same on all models at present, and its functions are not rich, but it is convenient to use. Commonly used are navigation, telephone and music functions.

  Apple’s own navigation uses Gaode map, which has real-time traffic function and clear display, but there are not many items that can be selected by car owners individually, and the zoom ratio will be limited to some extent. In short, from the perspective of navigation, it is doing well, but the openness and functionality of the operation interface are naturally not as good as Baidu Map App or Gaode Navigation App. Music function, in the case of CarPlay, the default is to play the tracks in the software that comes with the mobile phone. If you want to listen to the third-party software, you must first make a selection on the mobile phone, and then you can directly use the original car button for song switching.

  The navigation map interface of the new LaCrosse is roughly the same as other models in the family, and the color contrast of the map interface is very high. Although it is not particularly exquisite, it is easy to identify. After clicking the "Destination" button, three icons and an input line will pop up, which is the main menu of the navigation system. The input line can directly input the destination name or address. The "recent" below is the list of recent navigation addresses as its name implies; "Points of interest" refers to the search for information such as gas stations, hotels and scenic spots, while "contacts" are actually the "address book" or "storage destination list" in traditional navigation equipment with different names.

More exciting videos are all on the car home video platform.

  In terms of input mode, the new LaCrosse supports two Chinese input modes, namely, full spelling of sogou and quick spelling of initials, but it has no handwriting function, which we feel a little surprised. After all, it has handwriting function on Weilang, which is one level lower than it. Of course, from the perspective of Pinyin, both modes are relatively easy to use. I spell more quickly by myself every day. Occasionally, I will consider using sogou Pinyin for input.

SAIC-GM Buick LaCrosse 2016 28T flagship model

  Of course, having said that, we all know that the original factory navigation of GM is the best operator service of OnStar. You just need to press the blue OnStar button on the roof, and it is very convenient for the operator center to help you set your destination remotely. Thanks to this service, it doesn’t matter that the car doesn’t have handwriting input function, even if you can’t pinyin, just ask OnStar to do it for you. Please see the video below for the specific use process.

SAIC-GM Buick LaCrosse 2016 28T flagship model

More exciting videos are all on the car home video platform.

  Of course, there are other functions such as hands-free call, route navigation (voice-controlled navigation), OnStar information, virtual consultant, wireless network and so on. Among them, the wireless network uses China Mobile’s 4G LTE, which provides in-vehicle integrated Wi-Fi hotspots and supports 7 devices to access at the same time. The data shows that it covers an area of 700 square meters. The monthly 1G traffic charge is 45 yuan, which is cheaper than the monthly 1G 50 yuan charge of China Mobile 5 yuan. Of course, you can also choose monthly, quarterly or annual traffic according to your own use needs, and if you pack traffic now, there are extra gifts. Of course, even if you don’t include traffic, OnStar’s normal service will not be affected. The monthly subscription here refers to the car’s integrated Wi-Fi hotspot function. As for the signal, it can basically keep pace with the mobile phone.

  At the same time, with the advent of the mobile era, the function of Anjixing mobile App is also a highlight of this car. It can not only remotely control the vehicle door opening and closing, remote starting, remote flameout and other conventional functions with the mobile phone, but also remotely set the navigation system on the mobile phone. The system also integrates personalized services such as driving and ordering, which is very convenient. I can say that Anjixing mobile App software is almost one of the best car App software I have ever seen.

■ Long-term fuel consumption measurement:

Home of the car

  In this issue, the road conditions of our long-distance test car are basically the same as those in the previous issue, including two short-distance trips from Shanghai to Zhejiang, but the total round-trip mileage is hundreds of kilometers. Most of the rest of the time is still in Shanghai. In the end, up to the early 4000 km, the fuel consumption of this brand-new LaCrosse long test car is about 11.1L/100km, which is basically consistent with the data of the previous issue. Moreover, the temperature in Shanghai has now exceeded 30 degrees Celsius, and the air conditioner is basically on. Finally, I am quite satisfied with such data. After that, when its mileage exceeds 5000km, I will take it to make a first insurance. Whether the fuel consumption will be further reduced after the first insurance is still unknown. Let’s look forward to it together. After all, oil prices are rising, so it’s good to save some money, isn’t it?

■ Editor’s summary:

  Generally speaking, the functionality of this multimedia system of the new LaCrosse is not fancy, but the commonly used functions are basically included, and it is very convenient to use. The number of physical buttons is also kept just right, and the use experience can be said to be much better than that of Cadillac XTS, which has been tested for a long time, and it is more convenient to operate blindly while driving.

  In addition to the basic functions, Anjixing mobile App software left a good impression on me, with rich functions and simple interface design. It is very convenient to query the destination, set up navigation or remotely operate the vehicle. Of course, as for its additional functions, such as ordering food and driving, it has not been used yet, so I will share it with you after I have the opportunity to try it. 

  [car home Long-term Test] Hello, netizens, it’s time to update the long-term test of LaCrosse once a month. It has been more than three months since the car was picked up at the end of April, and the total mileage has also exceeded the prescribed mileage of 5000 kilometers, so I will bring you the first insurance experience article in this issue.

■ Maintenance records

  According to the requirements of the owner’s manual of SAIC-GM Buick LaCrosse, the engine oil and filter need to be replaced every 5,000 kilometers or 6 months, and the maintenance interval after that is also 5,000 kilometers or 6 months, and the interval is relatively short. However, it is worth mentioning that the LaCrosse factory provides two free maintenance, which is relatively kind compared with most brands providing one free maintenance. However, our LaCrosse test car has been in operation for about 3 months. Although the time has not yet met the requirements, the mileage has exceeded 5,000 kilometers due to its high intensity of use. Therefore, we took it "back to my mother’s house" this month and made a first insurance trip. For the location of the first insurance, we chose Anji Celebrity 4S Store located in Tongchuan Road, Putuo District, Shanghai. At the same time, because our LaCrosse was borrowed from Avis Leasing Company, this store is also the designated repair shop of the leasing company. If you make an appointment by phone one day in advance and arrive at the store within the agreed time, you don’t have to wait in line.

 SAIC-GM Buick LaCrosse 2016 28T flagship model

  The whole process from picking up the car for maintenance reception to driving the car into the workshop is routine, and we also made an appointment in advance as an ordinary rental car user. At the same time, the whole shooting process also uses mobile phones, so there is almost no special treatment that some netizens may question, "You are reporting in car home, so the service is more exquisite." Of course, from the actual experience, the service of Buick 4S store, including attitude, process and cleanliness of the store, is quite satisfactory.

  Since we arrived at the 4S store at about 11: 00 a.m., the maintenance reception consultant told us that it would take about 1.5-2 hours to complete this maintenance, but it may involve the lunch time of maintenance personnel, so it may take a little longer, and customers are also provided with lunch.

  The whole first insurance is nothing more than changing the oil, filtering the machine and checking the chassis and tires. Moreover, Buick 4S shop adopts the two-person maintenance mode, so the process is quite rapid. At the same time, because it rained from time to time during the maintenance days in the 4S shop, we didn’t ask for a car wash, and the final time was just over one hour, which we thought was quite reasonable. And in the follow-up chat process, I learned that their 4S shop usually takes turns at luncheons to avoid the problem that there is no one in the workshop at the same time and customers wait too long. This, for customers, is still very human.At the same time, we also extend our most sincere respect to the hard-working maintenance personnel. You have worked hard.

■ Micro-experience

Home of the car

  Not long before we sent it to the first insurance company, our LaCrosse long-distance measuring vehicle had a parking assist system failure, and the dashboard displayed "Parking assist temporarily unavailable" and "Maintenance of parking assist system". The accompanying failure phenomenon was that the front and rear parking radars did not work, but the reversing image could still be used normally. For the LaCrosse, a "big car" with a size of more than 5 meters, without the assistance of reversing radar, it is inevitable that it will make people feel a little uneasy to rely solely on images when parking. Therefore, using this maintenance, we also reported this problem to the 4S shop.

SAIC-GM Buick LaCrosse 2016 28T flagship model

   At the same time, after consulting some new and old LaCrosse owners around us and consulting the forum posts, we found that some riders have encountered this fault, and the solution is basically the same as ours. The 4S shop can be diagnosed by computer, which is commonly known as "brushing the computer". Of course, we will continue to pay attention to it later.

■ Long-term fuel consumption measurement:

Home of the car

  After the first insurance, our LaCrosse ran nearly 1000 kilometers in two weeks. Finally, by the time of publication, the total mileage of this LaCrosse long test vehicle has exceeded 6000 kilometers. The actual average fuel consumption is 11.3L/100km. Moreover, since we took over this car, the air conditioner is basically in a normal state, and it has completely served as our daily work car, and the use intensity is relatively high. I am still very satisfied with the fuel consumption in the end. 

  If you are interested in Buick’s brand-new LaCrosse and have anything you want to know in particular, you are very welcome to come to my editing blog and ask me questions. I will also reply and update in my editing blog or subsequent articles through my own experience. (Text/photo/photo by car home Sheng Yuanjun)

  [car home Long-term Test] Dear netizens, it’s time to update the long-term test articles of LaCrosse again. It’s been nearly five months since I mentioned this brand-new LaCrosse long test car in April to the beginning of September, so it’s time to make a phased summary. Of course, this long-term test will last for one year and will last until April 2017. For more content and topics of concern, you are also very welcome to leave a message in my editing blog, and I will update it in the article later. Today, let’s talk about the feeling of using a car for five months.

Home of the car

  Let’s talk about the appearance first. I am personally very satisfied with the appearance of the new LaCrosse. It is GM’s first model in China to adopt a brand-new flying wing front air intake grille, and a pair of "wings" are added next to the Buick logo to make the front of the car look more energetic and younger. At the same time, the side of the car body is also a highlight of the new LaCrosse. The proportion of the car body is very slender, which is completely different from the old style, and it seems to have the charm of the original boulevard.

  As for the shape of the rear of the car, it is a highly recognizable place in the design of the new LaCrosse. The central Buick logo and the license plate frame at the bottom of the bumper make the visual effect of the rear of the car very heavy. At the same time, the unique taillight shape is decorated with chrome trim, which makes it look very recognizable. In short, as far as the rear shape is concerned, it can be described as quite stylish. As for the shortcomings, its taillight light source is only part of LED (width light and fog light), while the turn signal, brake light and reversing light are all ordinary light bulbs, which still has room for improvement. After all, this configuration of full LED taillight is becoming more and more popular, which is also a trend.

  LaCrosse’s trunk volume data is not small, and the shape is regular, which is very convenient for daily use. Since all three models of the 28T are equipped with rear electric seats, it is reasonable that the back of the chair cannot be laid down. In a word, the daily use of its trunk is satisfactory, but there is still room for improvement in details.

  In terms of interior, the center console of the new LaCrosse has a beautiful shape. It can be said that compared with Passat, Magotan and higher-level Taurus, Crown and other models of the same level, the interior shape of the LaCrosse and the sense of visual grade it brings are at the leading level. Especially compared with its main competitor, Ford Taurus, the LaCrosse is more attractive in both modeling and color matching.

  At the same time, it also creates a good atmosphere at night. The surrounding atmosphere light strip on the upper part of the center console+the atmosphere light next to the four wooden decorative strips of the door glows with weak white light at night, which is also very classy.

  In the course of about 5 months’ use, the comfort and visual and tactile sense of the seat fabric made of suede have been unanimously affirmed by colleagues. Before, we have been worried about whether this kind of seat fabric is easy to get dirty and difficult to clean, but after 9,000 kilometers of use, I feel that the seat is still very resistant to dirt, at least more resistant than the light beige leather of many cars. During this period, we didn’t take special care of it. Basically, we would simply wipe it with a wet cloth when washing the car, that’s all.

  In addition, as the top model in the brand-new LaCrosse family, it is 40,000 yuan more expensive than the 28T luxury model, mainly including rear side airbags, rear seat heating, rear seat ventilation, front and rear seat massage, rear sunshade, rear independent air conditioning and rear audio control. Except for front seat massage, the rest are all for rear passengers. Therefore, whether you need to spend this 40,000 yuan more depends entirely on whether you buy this car to drive it yourself or serve the back passengers. However, in actual use, we found that the position of the rear multi-function button on the central armrest was a little backward, which was a little inconvenient in use. I hope the manufacturer can improve this in subsequent products.

  As for the driving experience, I am very satisfied with the overall performance of this car after driving for 9,000 kilometers. First of all, its power performance of this 2.0T engine is very good, and the overall adjustment style of suspension is comfortable, which is in line with the model positioning of LaCrosse. At the same time, all the 28T(2.0T) models are equipped with the second generation CDC full-time active hydraulic damping system, and the suspension will harden in sports mode, thus providing more road feeling feedback, which can still help when driving violently occasionally.

SAIC-GM Buick LaCrosse 2016 28T flagship model

  When it comes to the gearbox, the new LaCrosse 28T model uses the familiar 6AT, and the manufacturer said that the matching adjustment has been optimized. Of course, we don’t know exactly what we have adjusted, but from the actual effect, it has no problem in comfort and ride comfort, but it is not suitable for intense driving. To put it more bluntly, it is usually riding instead of walking or running at high speed. In most cases, its performance is very satisfactory, the shift timing is reasonable, and the movement is very smooth. You can completely ignore its existence. However, when driving fiercely and occasionally stepping on the accelerator, the downshift of the gearbox will be slower. At this time, the driver will feel that the power explosion is not synchronized with your accelerator pedal, which needs to be adapted. Of course, from the perspective of vehicle positioning, LaCrosse is not a car that emphasizes sports attributes, so this point is not a serious injury on it, only that there is room for improvement.

■ Long-term fuel consumption measurement:

  Finally, let’s talk about fuel consumption. This is 9,000 kilometers. We have added fuel for 22 times, and we have also experienced the ups and downs of oil prices. From 5.88 yuan/liter of Shanghai 95# gasoline in late April, the current price has risen to 6.23 yuan/liter. The average fuel consumption measured by us is 11.4L/100km, which is basically consistent with the data of 11.1L/100km calculated by the driving computer, and the average speed is 29km/h, which is also of high reference. In a word, for a "big car" like LaCrosse, I am quite satisfied with its fuel consumption. It’s slightly more fuel efficient than my own lexus ES250.

  To sum up, the brand-new LaCrosse has been used for a while, and its performance is quite satisfactory. The exterior and interior are beautiful, with rich configuration, good power performance and low fuel consumption. As for the problem, there was a "parking assistance system" failure before and after the first insurance, which was solved by "brushing the computer" in the 4S shop, and no accessories were replaced without charge. This should be regarded as a software problem. In this regard, we also looked at the car home Forum. It doesn’t seem to be a case of our car. Some netizens reported that they had encountered similar situations, and the solutions were basically the same. They were solved by "brushing the computer". In this regard, we will continue to pay attention to it.

  I wrote a lot in a magnificent way, and the content of this lacrosse long test will be updated here. Finally, I recorded a video of about ten minutes, briefly telling the experience, advantages and disadvantages of the car during this time, and interested friends can click to read it. This video is my first time on camera, and there are many shortcomings. Please include it. Thank you.

More exciting videos are all on the car home video platform.

  If you are interested in Buick’s brand-new LaCrosse and have anything you want to know in particular, you are very welcome to come to my editing blog and ask me questions. I will also reply and update in my editing blog or subsequent articles through my own experience.

  [car home Long-term Test] Dear netizens, today we ushered in the sixth issue of the long-term test article of LaCrosse, and not long before that, SAIC-GM carried out the configuration of some models of LaCrosse (related news) and added a 28T exclusive model. At this point, the 28T models currently on sale in LaCrosse have changed from three to four. Today, I will briefly analyze my views on these models and how to choose the four models based on my experience in the past six months.

Brand-new lacrosse Guiding price car make and model Price (ten thousand yuan) 20T leading type (configuration/price adjustment) 22.98 20T elite type 23.98 20T luxury model 25.98 28T Elite (configuration adjustment) 26.98 28T exclusive type (new) 27.58 28T luxury model 29.98 28T flagship type 33.98 30H elite type 27.58 30H luxury type 30.58

  Let’s take a look at the price range of all LaCrosse models, including three 20T(1.5T) models, four 28T(2.0T) models and two 30H(1.8L hybrid) models. From the perspective of overall driving experience and cost performance, I recommend the 28T model for friends with relatively generous car purchase budget. It is very decent in terms of power, ride comfort and silence, and can basically show the beautiful side of LaCrosse to the owners. Therefore, if you ask me how to choose so many lacrosse cars, I will not hesitate to say: choose 28T models. As for the next step, how to choose four of the 28T, please continue to read below.

"Redesigned 28T Elite Model" and "28T Elite Model": The guide price is inconvenient, so the configuration is increased by four instead of one.

  Let’s take a look at the most entry-level 28T elite model, which is the model with configuration adjustment in this change, but the price has not changed. The guide price is still 269,800 yuan. After the configuration adjustment, in order to distinguish it conveniently, its name is "changed 28T elite". Although it is an entry-level model of 28T series, its basic configuration is very rich, such as panoramic sunroof, automatic air conditioning, cruise control, electric seat, seat heating, keyless entry, Anjixing, central control 8-inch color large screen, CarPlay, xenon headlights and daytime running lights. (For details, please refer to the car purchase manual) Therefore, the overall configuration performance is not low. From the perspective of configuration differences, the "changed 28T elite model" has a choice in configuration compared with the original "28T elite model". Please see the following table for details:

Home of the car

SAIC-GM Buick LaCrosse 2016 28T flagship model

  The main change is that one configuration "front seat ventilation" is subtracted, and four additions "front parking radar", "reversing image", "automatic parking" and "parallel assistance" are obtained. Overall, it is still a relatively cost-effective "transaction". Of course, it depends on personal car habits. Perhaps for southern friends, the lack of ventilated seats will have an impact on the comfort in summer, but to be honest, the newly added reversing image and front parking radar are still very useful for the design of a "5-meter cart" like LaCrosse. After all, for most users, there is always a parking demand every day. Generally speaking, if your psychological budget for car purchase is between 250,000 and 270,000, and the total car price wants to be controlled within 300,000, I think it is enough to buy the "28T elite model". It is worth recommending!

"28T elite model" and "28T exclusive model": more knee airbags, rear seat electric adjustment and front seat ventilation.

  "Redesigned 28T Elite Model" and "28T Privileged Model" are two new faces in the LaCrosse 28T car series, of which the former is also mentioned at the upper end, mainly adding the configuration of reversing image, front parking radar, automatic parking and parallel assistance. As a newly added "28T exclusive type", it is 6000 yuan more than the "28T elite type", and the guide price is 275800 yuan. The main added configurations are the front knee airbag, the electric adjustment of the backrest angle of the second row of seats and the ventilation of the front seats.

SAIC-GM Buick LaCrosse 2016 28T flagship model

  Generally speaking, the price of 6000 yuan is reasonable for these configurations, but in terms of practicality, in fact, I think the front seat ventilation is the biggest highlight, and the electric adjustment of the rear seat should be regarded as the icing on the cake. As for the knee airbag, my understanding is just like buying personal accident insurance, so it’s best not to use it, right? To sum up, the "28T exclusive model" costs more than 6,000 yuan to buy three configurations, and the cost performance is not as high as that of the "28T elite model", but if you have a strong demand for ventilated seats, it is worth buying. If you modify the ventilated seat later, the amount of work is relatively large, there are circuit risks, and it will cost thousands.

"28T exclusive model" and "28T luxury model": the price difference is 25,000 yuan, and the configuration is obviously improved.

  Compared with the small price difference of 6,000 yuan mentioned above, the price difference between "28T exclusive model" and "28T luxury model" is much larger, reaching 25,000 yuan. But at the same time, the number of exchanged configurations has also improved significantly. The details include: HUD head-up display, front seat lumbar support, seat memory, massage and GPS navigation, BOSE audio, LED headlights, induction wiper, rearview mirror memory, active braking and adaptive cruise. Generally speaking, considering the richness of configuration, it is still worthy of the difference of 25 thousand yuan.

"Official Display Video of Buick’s New LaCrosse’s High-tech Functions"

  Moreover, in a dozen configurations, many of them are very practical and high-grade equipment, among which BOSE audio, LED headlights, induction wipers, seat memory, etc. are all equipment that can enhance the enjoyment of the car in daily use. Of course, considering the guide price of 28T luxury model of 299,800 yuan, it is not cheap. Therefore, this car is mainly suitable for consumers with abundant car purchase budget and high requirements for configuration.

"28T luxury model" and "28T flagship model": the price difference is 40,000 yuan, and the main difference is in the back row.

  Finally, the price difference between "28T luxury" and "28T flagship" two high-end models in the LaCrosse family is 40,000, and these configuration differences basically serve the rear passengers, including: rear seat heating, ventilation, massage, rear audio control, rear independent air conditioning and rear sunshade. Seeing this, it is actually very simple. First of all, it is obvious that the "28T flagship" is a car that serves the boss in the back row. If the buyer of this car sits in the back row every day, the budget is sufficient and he likes to keep a low profile, and he is unwilling to choose a luxury brand entry-level medium and large car such as BBA, the "28T flagship" can be regarded as a "low-key and connotative" car. But for self-driving users, I won’t recommend this car, because the daily usage rate of these configurations is not too high, and its price of 339,800 yuan is really not cheap. Now the preferential price of the entry-level model of Audi A6L is already less than 350,000 yuan.

"LaCrosse rear power seat function display"

  At this point, the configuration differences of the four models of LaCrosse 28T are basically sorted out. In a word, if you pursue material benefits, the "28T elite model" and "28T exclusive model" can fully meet your daily car demand, and at present, these two models basically have a market discount of about 20,000 yuan, and the total car price including purchase tax, insurance and miscellaneous fees can be settled within 300,000, which is still worth considering. However, if you have high requirements for configuration and flexible budget, it is completely enough to buy the "28T luxury model". Advanced configurations such as LED headlights, BOSE stereo, seat massage and HUD head-up display can bring a higher level of enjoyment to the daily car use process. As for the "flagship type", just like its name, it mainly serves the rear passengers and shoulders the role of the spiritual leader of the car department.

■ Micro-experience

Home of the car

  In daily use, the remote startup function of LaCrosse gives me a very good impression. The biggest significance of this function for me is that I can start the vehicle in advance, turn on the air conditioner and improve the comfort when I get on the bus. It has two operation modes, one is to use OnStar software on the mobile phone, and the other is to use the remote control key directly.

SAIC-GM Buick LaCrosse 2016 28T flagship model

SAIC-GM Buick LaCrosse 2016 28T flagship model

  In these two modes of operation, the operation of mobile phone software seems to be "high", but the actual user experience is not very intuitive. On the one hand, the operation is completed on the mobile phone, but the vehicle is confirmed to be executed, and the whole process takes about 2-3 minutes; On the other hand, the operation of mobile phone software will be affected by the signal, and if the vehicle stops with poor signal, it will naturally be useless. However, there is no such problem when the key is started in the original factory. As far as my experience is concerned, the operating distance of the remote control key of this car can be at least 20-30 meters or more. So basically, when you enter the parking lot, you can start the vehicle remotely. Or your parking space is under the building, and remote control from a distance is also very good. 

■ Long-term fuel consumption measurement:

Home of the car

  Fuel consumption performance, this car has been here for almost half a year or so, and the total mileage has exceeded 10,000 kilometers, so the intensity of the car is relatively reasonable. In the end, we calculated the total average fuel consumption of 11.6L/100km, which I think is quite reasonable. However, it is not difficult to see from the above table that the difference of average speed per hour actually has a great impact on the fuel consumption gap, such as the 23rd refueling and 25th refueling. These two figures are good examples.

■ This small summary:

  It’s time for a small summary. Generally speaking, after getting along with each other for half a year, the LaCrosse long test car has become a part of our daily life in Shanghai editorial department. It is spacious, comfortable and has good power performance, and we are also willing to drive it in our daily work. As for the model selection and configuration recommendation style, my suggestion is: the budget is not very tight, and the 28T model is recommended. As for the configuration, it is recommended to "change the 28T elite model" if you pursue cost performance; If the budget is sufficient, we can consider the "28T luxury model", which will bring about a more obvious sense of advanced and grade improvement.

  [car home Long-term Test] It’s almost a month since the last long-term test update of the LaCrosse. So far, it has been here for more than half a year, and the kilometers have also exceeded 10,000 kilometers. According to the provisions of SAIC-GM’s maintenance manual, we took it to do the second insurance.

Home of the car

  According to the maintenance manual of SAIC-GM Buick LaCrosse, the time for "replacing engine oil and oil filter" is "every 5,000 km /6 months, or according to the prompt of oil life monitoring system". At the same time, the advice given by the 4S shop is every 5,000 kilometers /6 months, whichever comes first. As for the "change according to the prompt of the oil life monitoring system" mentioned in the second half sentence, it seems that it is different from the previous "5,000 km /3 months" in terms of our car use, because when our LaCrosse long test car has driven more than 5,000 km in four months, the remaining oil life monitoring in the vehicle driving computer is about 45%.

SAIC-GM Buick LaCrosse 2016 28T flagship model

  But in any case, the mileage exceeded the requirements, so we took it back to the 4S shop in time to make a second insurance. However, compared with today’s more and more manufacturers’ recommended maintenance cycle of 10,000 kilometers, the maintenance interval of LaCrosse is relatively short. However, it is worth mentioning that all models of SAIC-GM-Buick are given free maintenance twice, which is relatively kind.

SAIC-GM Buick LaCrosse 2016 28T flagship model

  As for the 4S store of Erbao, we chose the famous Buick 4S store located in Tongchuan Road just like Shoubao. The reason was also mentioned in the last episode, because our LaCrosse is the rental car of Avis, and that 4S store is the designated maintenance unit of the leasing company, so we naturally chose there. At the same time, like the first insurance, we made a telephone reservation in advance as an ordinary rental car user, which has the advantage of avoiding waiting.

SAIC-GM Buick LaCrosse 2016 28T flagship model

  As the first batch of Buick 4S stores in Shanghai, the celebrity Buick on Tongchuan Road is located in the Central Line with a relatively good geographical position, but the overall decoration is relatively old, and the area of the store is also smaller than that of the new store, which is a common phenomenon of many old brands in urban areas. Of course, for this, perhaps different consumers have different understandings. In my opinion, I pay more attention to the soft power of personnel when I go to a 4S shop to repair cars or maintain them, but I don’t pay special attention to luxurious decoration or exaggerated floor space. I think it is enough to be clean and tidy. I was impressed by Buick, the celebrity we went to for a long time, and Yongda 4S shop where my own Royaum once went.

SAIC-GM Buick LaCrosse 2016 28T flagship model

SAIC-GM Buick LaCrosse 2016 28T flagship model

  Ok, the above paragraph is a little too much to talk about. Let’s go back to the second insurance. Because I made an appointment in advance, after I drove the vehicle into the 4S shop, the maintenance receptionist would go out to meet and do a series of pre-inspections, and there was no waiting in the whole process, which was quite good. Therefore, I strongly suggest that everyone can make an appointment in advance before going to the 4S shop for maintenance, so that they can reduce the waiting time, and the 4S shop can also make work arrangements in advance, benefiting others and benefiting themselves.

SAIC-GM Buick LaCrosse 2016 28T flagship model

  As mentioned earlier, celebrity Buick, as an old shop, is not luxurious in decoration style, but it feels neat, and there are all kinds of customer rest area, audio-visual room, tea art area and children’s entertainment circle. In Buick 4S shop, there are three choices of engine oil, two of which are GM original engine oil, the price of Yinmei No.1 is 458 yuan /4L, and the price of black barrel in synthetic engine oil (prepared by Shell technology) is 338 yuan /4L, both of which are in synthetic engine oil. There is also a 5W-30 semi-synthetic engine oil made by 47 yuan/L factory, which is mainly suitable for low-end vehicles with self-priming engines, such as Excelle, Yinglang and Weilang. Among the two models in synthetic engine oil, the LaCrosse’s original factory designated oil as Silver Mobil, and this oil was also used for the first two times.

SAIC-GM Buick LaCrosse 2016 28T flagship model

  Of course, here’s a digression, because our LaCrosse long test car is a "rental car", and the maintenance cost after two free maintenance is borne by the leasing company, and the leasing company will require the 4S shop to "downgrade" the maintenance for the reason of reducing the operating cost, that is, the oil used for subsequent maintenance will be downgraded from Silver Mobil to "black barrel original factory full synthesis". Of course, in any case, it is completely synthetic. Moreover, this is something after 15,000 kilometers. I will talk to you in detail in the next "three guarantees" experience.

  The second guarantee time given by the 4S shop is estimated to be within one hour, which is quite efficient. As for the whole process, it is very routine to change the oil, filter the machine, check all kinds of oil, tires and chassis and so on. Finally, it is to wash the car, hand over and reset the driving computer. Of course, here I would also like to praise a thoughtful detail of the celebrity Buick 4S store, that is, they will attach a small card with the next maintenance time and mileage and a 24-hour emergency call to your driving license, which is quite convenient for drivers to inquire.

  At this point, the second guarantee update article of LaCrosse Long Test has also come to an end. Today’s LaCrosse seems to have been completely integrated into our daily work and life in the editorial department. Its appearance can be said to be suitable for all ages, the overall shape is streamlined and dynamic, and the luxury of the interior is still in the leading position in the same class. As for the 2.0T engine and 6AT gearbox, the matching is also relatively harmonious, and the shifting speed is not fast, but the ride performance is very good. In short, its driving experience belongs to a relaxed and comfortable style. Whether it is used as a home scooter or a commuter car at work, LaCrosse has performed very well, which can be said that she got the hall and the kitchen. As for maintenance, whether it is the first guarantee or the second guarantee, the service of this celebrity Buick 4S shop we went to is relatively standardized, and the efficiency after making an appointment in advance is also very high. Of course, it may be that we rented a car, and the clerk didn’t recommend any "value-added" service to us, which is a good thing. (Text/car home Sheng Yuanjun)

  If you are interested in Buick’s brand-new LaCrosse, you are very welcome to my.Edit blogAsk me questions, and I will reply and update them through my own experience in editing blogs or follow-up articles.

  [car home Long-term Test] In the blink of an eye, it has reached the end of 2016. Our Buick brand-new LaCrosse long test article also ushered in the eighth update. Today, through this article, I would like to pay tribute to all netizens for a new year and wish you a happy New Year! Just before the New Year’s Day holiday, we took it to the 4S shop for a free test. On the one hand, our LaCrosse long test car was used very frequently during this period, often running 200-300 kilometers a day. At the same time, the car will run a long distance during the small holiday, so it is necessary to do a test in advance.

Home of the car

  Let’s talk about free testing first. Nowadays, in fact, most brands have free testing activities before the long vacation. Some friends may think that this is a "routine", but from my years of experience in car use, in fact, most brands are more serious and responsible for free testing. More importantly, in fact, this kind of testing can be done by most car owners themselves. Today, we will use this article to talk to you about some small things that need attention before running a long distance.

SAIC-GM Buick LaCrosse 2016 28T flagship model

  Anyone who has friends who are "old drivers" has heard the name "water, electricity and oil" when talking about vehicle inspection. Specifically, "water" refers to cooling liquid, "electricity" naturally means battery, and "oil" covers a wide range, generally referring to brake oil, and of course including fuel inspection of vehicles.

SAIC-GM Buick LaCrosse 2016 28T flagship model

  Let’s talk about the inspection of "water" first. In fact, the accurate name is coolant. Coolant, as its name implies, plays a role in cooling the engine of vehicles. Generally speaking, the replacement cycle of coolant in most vehicles is relatively long, ranging from 2-3 years to 5-6 years. If you maintain in a 4S shop all the year round, you will be prompted to replace it regularly according to the maintenance manual. Usually, you only need to pay attention to the liquid level when checking.

SAIC-GM Buick LaCrosse 2016 28T flagship model

  The standard of correct judgment is that the height of coolant level is between the maximum and minimum scale in the cold car state. Of course, at present, it is in winter, and it is normal that the coolant position is slightly lower than that in Xia Chunqiu in three seasons due to the principle of expansion due to heat and contraction due to cold. In short, the minimum height scale can be used in the case of cold car. "Cold car" has always been mentioned here, of course, it is best to check overnight, but if the actual conditions do not allow it, it is generally enough to stop and stand for 30-45 minutes in this weather of about 0℃. What needs to be emphasized here is that we do not recommend car owners who lack experience in vehicle maintenance to touch any parts of the vehicle cooling system with drivers in the case of hot car, and pay special attention not to try to open the "water tank cover", which is likely to cause burns. At the same time, in non-special circumstances, it is not recommended that you add antifreeze or replace it with water. If it is only a little lower than the lowest level, we suggest that you go to the nearest 4S shop to supplement it. Generally speaking, it is free for 4S shops to fill a small amount of antifreeze.

SAIC-GM Buick LaCrosse 2016 28T flagship model

  If the shortage is relatively large, pure water or distilled water can be added less, which has little impact on the vehicle, but tap water or mineral water should never be used, because impurities in the water may form scale and affect the cooling system.

  As for the inspection of "electricity" and "oil", it is relatively simple. The condition of vehicle battery can be checked by professional equipment in 4S shop. Of course, for a new car within three years, there will generally be no problem with the battery, but if it is an old car, it is very important to check or replace the battery in time, because there is generally no warning of battery failure. If it is on holiday and in other places, it is still very worrying.

  There are two main items to check the brake oil. First, it is natural to check the height of the oil, which is also kept between the highest and lowest liquid level. At the same time, it is best to check the "water content" in brake oil through professional equipment. Because the brake oil works in a high temperature environment, if the water content is high, it will vaporize the water and block the brake pipeline, thus affecting the braking effect of the vehicle, and the consequences are unimaginable. According to the regulations of different manufacturers, the general replacement cycle of brake oil is about 2 or 3 years. I suggest that you replace it in time, and it is best to go to a regular repair shop or 4S shop. This thing can’t be sloppy.

SAIC-GM Buick LaCrosse 2016 28T flagship model

SAIC-GM Buick LaCrosse 2016 28T flagship model

  As for the inspection of chassis parts and tires, it is actually more routine. The inspection of chassis parts mainly depends on whether there is looseness, whether there is oil leakage at the bottom of engine and gearbox, etc. As for the tire, it mainly depends on the tread wear, whether there are bulges or nails, etc. Finally, the tire pressure is calibrated according to the original factory standard.

SAIC-GM Buick LaCrosse 2016 28T flagship model

SAIC-GM Buick LaCrosse 2016 28T flagship model

  As for the tire pressure, since it’s winter, I think it’s necessary to talk more. Also due to the principle of thermal expansion and cold contraction, the difference ratio of tire pressure values is relatively large in the case of warm tires and cold tires. Therefore, everyone can have a psychological estimate when cheering. To put it simply, if the standard tire pressure of your car is 2.5bar, it is basically normal if the tire pressure display value is 2.3 after overnight; Similarly, if the tire pressure is lost at 2.7 or even 2.8bar in the case of hot car, it is also normal. Therefore, when inflating the tires, everyone and I can refer to this law properly in winter. In the case of cold car, the tire pressure can be about 0.1bar lower than the specified value, while in the case of hot car, it can be about 0.1-0.2bar higher.

  Because the car needs to run a long distance during New Year’s Day, there will naturally be a certain demand for the trunk. However, there is always a child safety seat in the trunk of our car, so we deliberately made a space demonstration with the three suitcases of different sizes in the evaluation. From the actual results, it is quite satisfactory.

  First, look at the things in the trunk of this car, such as a child safety seat, a cardboard box, a box of mineral water and some trivial things. It is worth mentioning that there is a small groove on the right side of the trunk of the car, which we usually use to place such as foam cleaner, car wax, air pump, gloves and so on. On the right, we bought two small fixing brackets to fix the paper box, and some trivial items can be placed in the box.

  In the case that these items are not removed, its trunk can still be put into a 28-inch suitcase or accommodate two suitcases of 24-inch and 20-inch at the same time, so it can be said that the loading capacity is very strong. When we take away the child safety seat and still keep these sundries, there is no pressure to put these three boxes in the trunk at the same time, and there is still a lot of room to spare.

  As for the installation of child safety seats, the car is also very simple. The location of the ISOFIX interface is easy to find, and the upper LATCH interface is designed conveniently, so it is not difficult to install children’s seats. If this car is used at home, I will install a child safety seat on weekends and remove it from Monday to Friday. Therefore, my disassembly frequency may be higher than that of many pure home users.

■ Long-term fuel consumption measurement:

Home of the car

  In recent months, China Petrochemical Gas Station began to promote No.98 gasoline, and we also tried three cases of No.98 gasoline. From the actual use experience, there is little difference in power, and the difference in fuel consumption performance is not obvious. The main factor affecting the fuel consumption performance of this car is the average speed. According to the data of the 33rd and 35th refueling, the measured fuel consumption is 12.7L/100km when the average speed is 27km/h, and only 9.3L/100km when the average speed reaches 38 km/h.. At the same time, at the time of writing, the domestic oil price has risen three times this year. Looking back at the time when the car was picked up in April this year, the oil price of Shanghai No.95 gasoline was only 5.88 yuan/liter, and now it has risen to 6.78 yuan/liter. The oil price has risen by 0.9 yuan. According to our long-term average fuel consumption of 11.4L/100km, the driving cost per kilometer is about higher than that in April, which is about 0.1 yuan.

  [car home Long-term Test] Hello everyone, it’s time to update the long-term test of LaCrosse again. This content update will be completed by my colleague Qi Zixin. During the Spring Festival, Qi Zixin took a 1,200-kilometer long trip home from Shanghai to Beijing by driving the LaCrosse. Therefore, in this update, he will tell the experience and feelings in the process of long-distance driving.

Why choose lacrosse to run long distances?

  I have been a car media for many years, and I have run a lot of long distances. I have summed up some of my needs for long-distance driving. First of all, the power is better. If it’s only about 300 kilometers, I think it may not matter much to hurry up and slow down. In short, half a day is up. But for me, who needs to travel more than 1000 kilometers a day, the dynamic performance is very important. I can quickly speed up and get rid of the slow train behind me when I get out of the congested road, and I can easily surpass the slow train and the big truck, reducing the risks caused by long-term parallel.

Home of the car

  Secondly, there is a lot of space. Running a long distance will basically bring a lot of luggage. For example, when I travel with two people this time, two boxes, one big and one small, are counted, and there is not enough space. The third seat should be comfortable. After a long journey of more than 10 hours, a comfortable and supportive seat will relieve the fatigue of your hips and back, and also allow you to concentrate on driving to ensure safety.

Home of the car

  The above is my demand for long-distance driving models, and then looking at all the long-distance testing vehicles in the editorial department, it must be the LaCrosse that meets these needs.

Long-distance driving experience

  The journey from Shanghai to Beijing is about 1200 kilometers. According to the maximum speed limit of 120 kilometers, this section of the road will take at least 10 hours. If we consider the stopover and the wasted expenses in the urban area, 13-14 hours is very possible. So starting at seven o’clock in the morning, for me, seven o’clock is the limit. If I don’t get up early, I will catch up with the rush hour.

  There are many roads to choose from from Shanghai. I chose G15, which is closer than G2. However, from Shanghai to Yancheng, the traffic condition is not very good, and there are many jams along the way, which seriously slows down the speed. Friends who have walked through G2 can share the road conditions together.

Home of the car

Home of the car

  The traffic jam on the road is slow, and many people can be seen throwing garbage along the way, and the garbage on the road is often seen. This kind of behavior is very wrong. First of all, it is illegal. In addition, throwing it around casually increases the risk for highway cleaners. After crossing Yancheng, the road began to clear, which continued until I returned to my home in Beijing. It is worth mentioning that many cameras in Jiangsu Province are hidden in the grass in the middle of the road, and their functions must be mainly to shoot violations, supplemented by shock. Because speeding is a violation of the law, I can’t comment on whether it is better to let you know that there is a camera in front of you 500 meters away to warn you to slow down in advance, or to hide in the grass and shoot you panic. In a word, it is necessary to obey the laws and regulations. Although some countries with developed automobile industry and automobile culture can slightly exceed the speed limit by 10-20km/h, it is necessary to obey the traffic regulations in China after all. Here, I also have to praise Gaode Navigation. The prediction of the probe is very accurate, and those hiding in the grass can also be found. It is very easy to use.

  After the road conditions improve, you can relax a little. This LaCrosse is equipped with adaptive cruise and lane keeping system. I don’t think most of the specific functions are needed, and everyone is more clear. In fact, when you cruise smoothly at a constant speed for a long time, and this speed is still relatively low compared with the current road, it is certain that you are sleepy, so these two configurations are of great assistance to me. If you are really distracted, you can give an early warning. In addition, from my long-distance driving experience over the years, if I am driving alone, I don’t recommend eating too much for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I usually solve the problem with a small piece of bread and a ham sausage. Eating too much is really easy to get sleepy.

  My long-distance test car was recharged with Sinopec’s oil card by my colleagues, so I can only look for Sinopec’s gas station all the way. This problem is more obvious in Shandong. According to statistics, from Linyi, Shandong Province to Hebei Province, only Dongying and Wudi service areas have Sinopec gas stations, and the others are PetroChina. So if you can only use Sinopec’s fuel card like me, you’d better calculate the distance and remaining oil.

Home of the car

  After Dongying became dark the day after tomorrow, the problem of high illumination angle of the headlights of this LaCrosse reappeared, which is equivalent to driving with the high beam on all the time. For the front car, too high illumination angle will affect the rear vision, and for myself, too high illumination angle will reduce the lighting effect and make it impossible to see the road ahead.

Home of the car

  Starting from 7: 00 in the morning, I finally arrived at home in Beijing at 9: 00 in the evening. During the ten-hour journey, the LaCrosse chair with massage function has been caring for my old waist, which is absolutely an artifact for long-distance driving. In addition, the sufficient power reserve of the 2.0T engine can also be competent for long-distance driving, and the fuel economy is also guaranteed while maintaining stable cruising. However, it is worth mentioning that the fuel tank of the LaCrosse is really small. If the volume can be expanded from 62L to 80L, according to the average fuel consumption of 8L/100km at high speed, a tank of oil can travel nearly 200 kilometers more, and the longer cruising range can reduce the number of refueling during the journey and save more time.

Summary of long-term oil consumption measurement:

Home of the car

  During this period, our lacrosse long-distance measuring vehicle ran a lot, including the long-distance between Beijing and Shanghai. Judging from the fuel consumption performance, the car has the lowest fuel consumption when the average speed is about 60-70km/h, that is, when we refueled for the 40th and 41st time, the fuel consumption reached 7.5-7.6L/100km. When cruising at a speed of more than 100km/h for a long time, the fuel consumption will actually be higher than before. Of course, this is also in line with common sense. After all, the theoretical economic speed of most cars is within the range of 60-80 km/h.

Editor’s summary:

  To tell the truth, it is not easy to drive for more than ten hours in a row. From a safety point of view, continuous driving will also lead to fatigue. Nowadays, many drivers have insufficient traffic awareness, and you often meet many drivers who are seriously below the minimum speed limit and drive indiscriminately, which is very dangerous. In addition, nowadays, there are more and more cameras on the expressway, which are more and more hidden, plus more interval speed measurement and many speed-limited sections below 120 km/h. All these factors make long-distance driving more difficult, so if possible, such long-distance driving is not recommended. Try to reserve more time and make life easier.

  [car home Long-term Test] Dear netizens, it’s time to update the long-term test of LaCrosse once a month. After the long-distance driving during the Spring Festival and the high-intensity use after the festival, the mileage of the car is close to 20,000 kilometers. We took it for routine maintenance and replaced the air filter screen and wiper strip. Today, I will take this update to talk to you about how to replace the air-conditioning filter and wiper by myself besides the taste and maintenance of LaCrosse, which is simple and economical.  

Home of the car

  Let’s talk about maintenance first. According to the kilometers, the maintenance period stipulated by Buick LaCrosse manufacturer is 5000 kilometers/time, and 20,000 kilometers should be the fourth maintenance. However, due to the intensive use before and after the Spring Festival, this maintenance was delayed to nearly 10,000 kilometers. However, occasionally, such a "over-warranty" will not be difficult for 4S stores, of course, for the sake of cherishing the quality assurance and reducing the risk of unnecessary disputes. We still recommend that you follow the maintenance cycle required by the manufacturer during the warranty period.

  However, at this point, we also found that the "oil life" in the driving computer of this car is actually displayed according to 10000 kilometers. For example, when the mileage of our vehicle reaches 19375 kilometers, the displayed oil life is still 11%. In fact, for a company that uses Mobil 1 all over synthetic engine oil for every maintenance, a maintenance of 10,000 kilometers should be considered a reasonable level. I think the current standard of 5,000 kilometers/time is indeed a bit conservative.

SAIC-GM Buick LaCrosse 2016 28T flagship model

  As for routine maintenance items, we won’t go into details here. Since 20,000 kilometers is a "major maintenance" for the LaCrosse, besides the oil filter, it is also necessary to replace the air conditioning filter, air filter and gasoline filter, so the cost will be relatively expensive, nearly 2,000 yuan. We have reported the specific maintenance cycle and price before, and interested friends can click on the link to view the details.

SAIC-GM Buick LaCrosse 2016 28T luxury model

  From the maintenance cycle and price, we find that the replacement frequency of air filter and gasoline filter of LaCrosse is very high. I think it is understandable that the air filter is between today’s air quality, but it is rare for the gasoline filter to be replaced so frequently in the same class (Passat replaces the gasoline filter every 30,000 kilometers; Taurus is also 30 thousand kilometers; Accord and Camry need not be replaced within 60,000 kilometers). Fortunately, the price of replacing the gasoline filter in this car is not expensive, and the cost of a replacement is 146 yuan (even with artificial materials).

SAIC-GM Buick LaCrosse 2016 28T luxury model

  However, on the contrary, the price of the air filter element of this car is really not cheap. The price of a single accessory is 325 yuan, and the standard given by the manufacturer for replacing the air-conditioning filter is 128 yuan. However, we charge 56 yuan for replacing it in the 4S shop, so the discount rate is not small. Compared with the price of accessories, I think the working hours are quite reasonable.

SAIC-GM Buick LaCrosse 2016 28T flagship model

  Regarding the air conditioning filter, if you like to fiddle with it automatically, you can actually replace it yourself. It should be easy to buy the corresponding accessories on e-commerce platforms such as JD.COM and Tmall. It is recommended to buy them in the official flagship store. Generally, the prices of accessories for air-conditioning filters of big brands such as 3M, Bosch, Mahler and Man brand are around 100 yuan, so the replacement cost is almost 1/4 of that of a 4S shop, and the money saved can be changed several times, which is also quite good.

  The air conditioning filter screen of LaCrosse is installed in the glove box, which is very convenient to disassemble and assemble, and it is not difficult to do it yourself. First of all, you need to remove the sundries in the glove box, then pull out the middle storage partition, and then remove a cover plate, and then you can see the last cover plate of the air conditioning filter. Open it and you can easily take it out. The whole disassembly process takes less than 5 minutes by yourself. I also recorded a short video during the replacement process, and you can click to read it if you are interested.

More exciting videos are all on the car home video platform.

  In addition to the air conditioning filter, the wiper is a consumable product which is easier to replace by yourself and has a high frequency of use and replacement. First of all, we changed this car in a 4S shop as a mouse. The price of a single one is 104 yuan, and a pair is 208 yuan. However, the replacement of wipers in 4S shops is free of working hours, which is commendable. I think the price of 208 yuan is acceptable.

  If you want to change it yourself, I can also buy it from official flagship stores such as JD.COM and Tmall. The price of mainstream brand products is basically around 120-150 yuan/pair. In fact, compared with 4S stores, the price difference is limited, but the advantage lies in convenience. Online purchase and door-to-door delivery save you the time cost of going back and forth to the 4S shop.

  LaCrosse’s left and right wiper sizes are 26 inches and 18 inches respectively. The replacement method is very simple. The car uses a special socket. Just press the small square at the interface and pull it out. On the contrary, when installing, just aim the wiper at the interface and push hard. If you feel a little raw when replacing it for the first time, you can also pour some water to lubricate it first. I have a tip here. When replacing the wiper, prepare a towel to pad the glass to prevent the wiper arm from accidentally falling and breaking the glass. This "tip" is based on my own painful experience. I was "naive" when I changed my wiper in my early years. I also recorded a short video about changing the wiper. Welcome to read it.

Summary of long-term oil consumption measurement:

Home of the car

  From the car in April 2016 to the present, the LaCrosse has traveled more than 20,000 kilometers and refueled 49 times. Along with this, the oil price has also risen from 5.88 yuan/liter in that year to 6.84 yuan/liter today. Judging from the comprehensive fuel consumption of more than 20,000 kilometers, we are quite satisfied with the fuel consumption of 11L/100km. After all, it is frequently used in the editorial department, and drivers are often changed, so the driving style will be quite different, and all kinds of road conditions can be met, and the average speed is also very different. Therefore, in general, its working environment will definitely be more difficult than most private cars. Therefore, under such circumstances, I think its fuel consumption performance is still of high reference. (Text/Figure car home Sheng Yuanjun) 

  If you are interested in Buick’s brand-new LaCrosse, you are very welcome to my.Edit blogAsk me questions, and I will reply and update them through my own experience in editing blogs or follow-up articles.

  [car home Long-term Test] Hello, netizens, the update of the long-term test article of LaCrosse has reached the 11th issue. Counting by fingers, it has been almost a year since the long-term test vehicle of LaCrosse came to the editorial department of car home, and our long-term test is drawing to a close. In this issue, I mainly want to talk to you about the impressions and feelings left by LaCrosse and its competitors. At the same time, there is an episode, that is, the beautiful tire that I used to have scruples about when I picked up the car, so we spent more than 1000 yuan to change a tire.

Home of the car

  To mention the competing products of LaCrosse, we have to look at the positioning, price and car grade of the model. First of all, the pricing, LaCrosse’s guide price range is 229.8-339.8 million yuan, and the span of 110,000 yuan basically covers most mainstream joint venture brand medium-sized cars on the market, including Accord, Camry, Passat, Magotan and Taurus. At the same time, its high-profile models will also compete with the entry-level models of medium and large cars such as Crown and Cadillac XTS.

Comparison of LaCrosse, Passat and Magotan;

  Of course, among these competitors, there are many intersections between LaCrosse and Passat, Magotan and Taurus in terms of vehicle positioning, brand attributes and consumers’ comparative attention. Before that, we also did the comparative articles of Magotan/Passat/LaCrosse and Passat Special Test. Interested friends can click on the previous two articles. As the author of the lacrosse test, Passat has a lot of contact with me. I think I can briefly talk to you about the respective characteristics between LaCrosse and Passat.

  First of all, from the aspect of appearance, the size of LaCrosse is superior to Passat and Magotan in three data: length, width and wheelbase. At the same time, the appearance of today’s LaCrosse is no longer the feeling of "middle-aged uncle riding" given by the old LaCrosse in the early years, and the overall appearance is quite sporty. In fact, for friends who have just turned 30, the shape of LaCrosse is quite attractive. The appearance is not dull and has its own characteristics, but it will not be too frivolous. Coupled with the brand tonality formed by Buick brand and LaCrosse for a long time, this car can be said to be really suitable for IKEA.

"Passat; Magotan "

  In terms of interior, LaCrosse has obvious advantages in styling and color matching. This generation of LaCrosse’s interior color is dominated by the combination of black and brown. Compared with the popular black interior, it is superior in visual impact. Secondly, the shape of the center console, which adopts the embracing design with a large area of soft material and leather stitching treatment, is also very helpful for the elevation of visual grade. Compared with Passat and Magotan, the overall performance of LaCrosse has its own advantages in terms of materials and workmanship. The materials of LaCrosse are more pleasing than those of two Volkswagen rivals because it is wrapped in leather and feels very comfortable. The advantage of the two public friends lies in the role of details, especially the gap treatment between different materials and the compactness of decorative board installation, which will perform slightly better than LaCrosse.

  For this class of cars, the spacious space is basically no problem, and the performance of LaCrosse, Passat and Magotan can be satisfactory. However, these three models also have their own characteristics. In the rear row, Magotan has the largest rear legroom, but the seats are relatively valuable and a little hard and comfortable. Passat’s space performance is not much different from LaCrosse’s, but the seat filler is specially designed, and it is filled with double hardness, so the ride comfort is very good, which is the best among the three models. As for the LaCrosse, it is influenced by the styling, and the rear head space is average, but the rear configuration is the most abundant among the three models. The high-equipped models provide electric adjustment of the rear seats, and some models even have the functions of heating, ventilation and massage in the rear seats, and the performance can also be said to have its own characteristics.

  When it comes to driving experience, if the 2.0T models are compared horizontally, the LaCrosse 28T(2.0T) is equipped with a 6-speed automatic manual transmission gearbox, while Magotan and Passat both use DQ380 7-speed wet dual-clutch gearbox. In terms of shifting speed, LaCrosse’s 6AT performance is not as fast and accurate as that of two DSG players, but its smooth performance in urban traffic jams is obviously better than that of its opponents. The difference between them can be said to be caused by their respective mechanical structure characteristics.

Home of the car

  In terms of overall driving experience, the first impression of LaCrosse is "comfort". This point is well-known to colleagues who have driven the LaCrosse. First of all, its seats are spacious and comfortable, and the sound insulation effect in the car is also good. All 2.0T models of LaCrosse are equipped with CDC full-time active hydraulic suspension system. It not only filters fine bumps on the road surface very well, but also restrains the ups and downs of the vehicle body when the vehicle encounters big bumps or tries the speed bump at a faster speed. Therefore, on the whole, the driving quality of LaCrosse on the road will give people a better subjective feeling than Passat and Magotan. However, as the price of comfort, the suppression of the body posture during intense driving will be slightly lower than that of the two opponents. After all, there is a specialization in the art, and it may be more appropriate to leave this matter to Regal. The new Regal will also be officially unveiled at the upcoming Shanghai Auto Show. The obvious difference is Passat. Passat’s first impression is "dexterity", which is the same regardless of steering feel, throttle response or chassis feedback, and this feeling can not be provided by Magotan or LaCrosse, which is very pleasing to drivers.

Home of the car

  As for sound insulation, LaCrosse’s mid-high models benefit from BOSE ANC active noise reduction technology, so its noise performance still has certain advantages compared with its two rivals. By way of digression, some netizens left messages in my editing blog, reflecting that they felt that the noise of LaCrosse was a bit loud, especially in the back row. In this regard, I also focused on the 1.5T models including our 2.0T and 4S stores. Generally speaking, the sound insulation and noise reduction of LaCrosse is considered to be a relatively good level in the mainstream price range of 200,000-300,000 yuan medium-sized cars. It is quieter than the subjective feelings of Accord, Camry, Passat and Magotan. Of course, if compared with the Crown, lexus ES or Cadillac XTS, the gap still exists. As for the relationship between LaCrosse and these partners, I will analyze it on the next page.

  Finally, briefly talk about these three cars. If it were me, how would I choose? First of all, the attractions of LaCrosse mainly include: exterior interior modeling, large area of leather materials and better low-speed ride comfort of 6AT gearbox. Generally speaking, the LaCrosse gives people the impression that it looks fashionable, the interior is beautiful and the driving experience is more comfortable. In contrast, its driving pleasure or seat comfort is not as good as Passat’s performance, and the space and details in the back row are not as fine and exquisite as Magotan. In a word, it is a car with obvious advantages and disadvantages, but if I choose one of the three, I will still choose LaCrosse. Because in my opinion, it has done a good job.

Talk about LaCrosse, Taurus and Crown;

  After talking about the difference between LaCrosse and Passat and Magotan, I will talk about its connection with Ford Taurus and Toyota Crown. These two models are also rivals that are often mentioned among the submarines of LaCrosse. Among them, Taurus was positioned as a medium-sized and large-sized car when it was first listed, but its initial sales performance was flat, and then it was brought out of order and returned to the ranks of medium-sized cars. The LaCrosse and Taurus, both American brands, have similar vehicle positioning and high price overlap, so the comparison between them is a natural thing. As for the Crown, although its positioning is slightly higher than that of the LaCrosse, the overall guide price range of the Crown now is 254,800-389,800 yuan, which coincides with the high-end models of the LaCrosse 2.0T model, so it is also the focus of many consumers’ comparison. In addition, we have also done a three-car comparison of LaCrosse/Crown/Taurus, and interested friends can click to read it.

  Judging from the prices of these three models, the guide price range of LaCrosse is 229,800-339,800 yuan, of which the price range of 2.0T models is 269,800-339,800 yuan; The price range of Taurus is 234,800-369,800 yuan, of which the price range of 2.0T model is 249,800-299,800 yuan; The range of Crown is 254,800-389,800 yuan, of which the price range of 2.0T models is 264,800-389,800 yuan. In terms of the 2.0T power that is relatively suitable for this class of vehicles, it can be basically seen that the price overlap between LaCrosse and Taurus’ 2.0T models is very high, but the Crown is still more expensive than them.

  First of all, from the perspective of the 2.0T entry-level models of the three, the price of LaCrosse is 269,800 yuan, that of Taurus is 249,800 yuan, and that of Crown is 264,800 yuan, among which the guide price of LaCrosse and Crown is close, and that of Taurus is lower than the guide price. In terms of discount range, the market discount of LaCrosse is basically around 40,000 yuan, and both Crown and Taurus are basically around 10,000-20,000 yuan. Therefore, in terms of final guide price, LaCrosse is relatively the cheapest, only in the early 220,000 yuan. The price of Taurus and Crown’s 2.0T entry-level models is basically around 240,000 yuan.

Home of the car

  Judging from the configuration performance of the same entry-level 2.0T vehicle, the LaCrosse and Taurus will obviously outperform the Crown in terms of comfort configuration, for example, they are both equipped with leather seats, electric seat adjustment, shop seat heating, large sunroof and other configurations, and the Crown’s performance in this respect is relatively shabby. In terms of lighting and high-tech configuration, LaCrosse and Taurus have their own advantages. Among them, LaCrosse is equipped with xenon headlights, headlight cleaning, automatic anti-glare exterior rearview mirror, automatic parking and parallel auxiliary, which are not available in Taurus, while Taurus has more configurations such as seat memory, navigation and induction wiper than LaCrosse. In short, there are differences. But in any case, in terms of the configuration level of the 2.0T entry-level model, the configuration performance of both LaCrosse and Taurus is still very satisfactory, and in terms of the actual transaction price of 220,000-230,000 yuan, this car is still worth recommending. Therefore, as I have been replying to netizens in my editing blog, if you want to buy a LaCrosse and hesitate between 1.5T high-end or 2.0T low-end, I strongly recommend buying a 2.0T model, which lacks some advanced configuration, but the overall driving experience has been greatly improved.

Home of the car

  After comparing their respective entry-level 2.0T models, let’s take a brief look at the performance of LaCrosse, Taurus and Crown at a price of around 300,000 each. With the guide price of 300,000 yuan, the LaCrosse that can be bought is a 28T luxury model, and it is also the second top model in the whole department. Taurus is the "245 flagship model", as the name implies, which is the top match of 2.0T, while the Crown is the pioneer version of 2.0T, which belongs to the middle match model in the whole Crown series. Therefore, in the overall configuration comparison, we can also see the difference intuitively. The configuration levels of the LaCrosse and Taurus are quite high, but the Crown level can only be regarded as sufficient. Of course, conventional skylights, leather, and automatic air conditioners are certainly not few, but advanced configurations such as seat ventilation, massage, automatic parking, and lane departure warning system can’t be provided by the 300,000-level crown. However, ACC adaptive cruise system, all three cars have it, which is worthy of praise.

  After reading the configuration, let’s still talk about how to choose the LaCrosse, Taurus and Crown if the price is 300,000. First of all, from the configuration level, LaCrosse and Taurus perform very well, but Crown has a leading edge in ride comfort. Therefore, on the whole, if you are particularly pursuing configuration performance, choosing between LaCrosse and Taurus will not be disappointing. And if you don’t have a high demand for configuration, but pursue ride comfort and ease of driving, the crown still has unique appeal.

Episode: The left front tire bulged and a new tire was replaced.

  At the end of the long test, our lacrosse long test car had an episode. One day when we were washing the car, we suddenly found that one of its front wheels was bulging, so we had to replace it. This LaCrosse top model was originally equipped with Bridgestone EL400 series tires with specifications of 245/45 R19. We consulted the Buick 4S store, and the total price of working hours plus tires was more than 2,500 yuan, and the most critical "out of stock" would take 2 days at the earliest. Therefore, we followed up with a number of tire shops in Shanghai, and finally asked the price of 1580 yuan/piece, including installation and invoice. This price is similar to that of online car maintenance in Togo, and the key is to have it in stock. So we just replaced it.

  Just as I was worried when I first measured the car with this bench, now more and more brands begin to equip vehicles with tires with large size and thin sidewall, which really improves the visual effect. However, the following problem is that such tires with large size and thin sidewall need more care from drivers when driving, especially when you drive through potholes. Just two days before the publication of this article, my colleague’s old Mercedes-Benz E-Class with 255/40 R18 tires followed the taxi through a road pit at a slightly higher speed, which directly caused two tires on the same side to burst. Therefore, in a word, beauty sometimes comes at a price. Of course, if the LaCrosse is a mid-low model with 235/50 R18 or 235/55 R17 tires, you don’t need to worry too much.

Summary of long-term oil consumption measurement:

  As of this update, the fuel consumption statistics of LaCrosse’s long-term measurement have officially drawn the next sentence. A total of 21,446 kilometers were run and 2,285 liters of fuel were consumed. The measured average fuel consumption was 10.7L/100km. This kind of fuel consumption performance is quite satisfactory for a "big car" with a 2.0T engine and a length of more than 5 meters.

Editor’s comment:

  At this point, our LaCrosse long test car is about to leave us, and the last update of the long test article will be ushered in at the end of this month. In that issue, I will sort out the details of my getting along with this car from the outside to the inside. Talk about its advantages and disadvantages from the perspective of "owner". At the same time, what else do you want to know about LaCrosse, please also visit my.Edit blogLeave a message, and I will continue to reply to you in the future. (Text/car home Sheng Yuanjun)

  [car home Long-term Test] Hello, netizens. When reading this article, our Buick LaCrosse long test vehicle has finished its one-year service in our editorial department and left us. In the past year, we drove it for more than 22,000 kilometers, with an average of more than 1,800 kilometers per month. This kind of use intensity may not be too much according to the company’s car standards, but if it is the standard of home users, it is actually considered to be above average.

Home of the car

  After a year’s contact with this LaCrosse long measuring car, it can be said that it has been completely integrated into the daily work and life of our editorial department, and it can be called a solid partner. In this summary article, I don’t want to re-list its appearance, interior decoration, configuration, power and other aspects with conventional routines, because this part of the content has been introduced in detail in the previous 11 articles.Today, I want to talk about three advantages and two disadvantages of this car as a "real owner".

The first advantage: the exterior interior is stylish and the materials are good.

  I think the appearance of the new LaCrosse can be described as bright at the moment. Its overall shape is completely different from that of the previous two generations, and it feels completely different from taking the business route. The appearance of the new LaCrosse looks very streamlined and slender, completely without the feeling of "50-year-old uncle". It can be said that the appearance of the new LaCrosse is basically the same as that of Xian Yi, young people in their early 30s or their parents over 50 have a high acceptance of the appearance of the new LaCrosse.

  In addition to the refreshing appearance, the interior design of the new LaCrosse is also very eye-catching. Moreover, in the 2017 WardsAuto Top Ten Interior Selection, the interior design of the new LaCrosse won the award, which is called "one of the representatives of American luxury style".

  In addition to the center console’s stretch and atmosphere, its interior materials are also very pleasing. The upper part of the center console is made of soft material with real stitches, and the lower edge of the center console is wrapped in soft leather with gaps all the way to the two sides of the control area of the bumper, which not only feels excellent, but also has first-class visual effects. It can be said that the new LaCrosse is among the best in creating a sense of luxury in the interior at the current level of 200,000-300,000 yuan mainstream joint venture brand medium-sized car.

The second advantage: rich configuration and reasonable storage space.

  For the interior of a car, it is definitely not enough to look good. Easy use and rich configuration are also the key considerations for consumers when purchasing vehicles. In this part, the performance of the new LaCrosse is still satisfactory, especially in the storage space and humanized details, which is obviously improved compared with the old one. Let’s talk about configuration first. For this level of joint venture brand models, conventional safety configurations such as body stability system and airbags should not be mentioned. In terms of comfort configuration, such as keyless start, keyless entry, panoramic sunroof, electric seat, shift paddle, leather seat, seat heating, automatic air conditioning and central control large screen are all standard in the whole system, so the configuration richness is very good in the same class.

  In addition to the rich configuration, the storage space of the new LaCrosse is also a highlight of this car. Because it adopts the design of electronic handle, it frees up a huge storage platform below the position of the handle. I am used to putting paper towels, 12V power adapters, etc. here, and occasionally I can put small cameras, wallets and other items. In short, this storage compartment is well concealed, and the space is large enough, which is greatly praised! In addition, the space design such as the storage compartment of four doors, the front cup holder, the armrest box and the glove box is also very convenient.

The third advantage: 2.0T is full of power, and the actual comprehensive fuel consumption of less than 11L/100km is satisfactory.

  Our LaCrosse long test car is prepared with a power combination of 2.0T+6AT. Although this power system may not be new in the GM family, many models of SAIC-GM, including Buick and Cadillac, have adopted similar power combinations, but it feels very satisfactory to be equipped on the new LaCrosse as a whole.

  First of all, the matching degree between this 2.0T engine and the 6AT gearbox is very good, and its shift timing and ride comfort performance are very good during daily driving. It can be said that its ride comfort performance is very reassuring during daily driving. The only drawback is that it doesn’t slow down very fast when it needs to accelerate sharply at medium and high speed. The sensory experience is that there will be a slight delay when you step on the accelerator deeply to provide a push-back feeling to the vehicle. However, considering that the LaCrosse itself is a comfortable orientation, I think this "disadvantage" is understandable.

Home of the car

  As for the fuel consumption, this long-distance test car has run more than 22,000 kilometers in our hands in one year, and the actual average fuel consumption is 10.7L/100km. For such fuel consumption performance, considering that our car usually drives in the urban area of Shanghai and often changes drivers, I am quite satisfied with this fuel consumption performance. With reference to the average fuel consumption measured by Passat 1.8T(330TSI DSG), a long-distance test vehicle, which is 10.85L/100km, I am quite satisfied with the fuel consumption performance of LaCrosse 2.0T.

The first disadvantage: the visual field in the car is slightly poor, and the head space in the back row is a little depressed.

  The lacrosse’s view in the car is slightly poor, and the main reasons for this feeling are as follows: 1. The center console is relatively long; 2. The proportion of complete vehicles is relatively low; 3. Visual depression caused by the black interior ceiling. Taken together, these three points will lead to the feeling that when driving this car, its vision is not very broad, especially after comparing the main competing products such as Passat and Camry, this feeling will be more obvious. However, it is undeniable that the new LaCrosse has a certain improvement compared with the old one, especially the A-pillar design has been obviously optimized.

The second disadvantage: there are many minor faults in the vehicle electronic system, which affects the use mood.

  The small fault of vehicle electronic system is the point that my colleagues and I "complain" the most during the use of this long-distance test vehicle this year. Take our car as an example. There are two main problems in it, namely "maintenance of parking assistance system" and "maintenance of driving assistance system". Simply put, the former means that the reversing radar can’t be used, and the latter means that the driver assistance system represented by ACC adaptive cruise and active braking can’t be used.

Home of the car

  During the long-term test of one year, these two problems have appeared one after another for a total of not less than five times. Sometimes they "self-repair" in a few days, and sometimes they need to go to a 4S shop to do something commonly known as "brushing the computer" to recover. Although these functions are icing on the cake, the two problems will not have much impact on the overall driving of vehicles, but frequent strikes will really affect the driving mood and discount the "quality sense".

Purchase suggestion: it is recommended to buy the "28T exclusive model", with a guide price of 275,800 yuan and a market discount of more than 40,000 yuan.

  At this point, our lacrosse long test article has almost come to a formal end. Finally, the article talks about whether this car is worth buying and which one to buy. First of all, answer the first question, is this car worth buying? After one year’s use, I think this car is worth buying! It is a medium-sized car with beautiful appearance, rich configuration, strong power and comfortable driving, which can be said to be a well-balanced performance in all aspects. The answer to the first question is over: it is worth buying.

Home of the car

  Second question, which one should I buy? LaCrosse has three power combinations: 1.5T, 2.0T and 1.8L Considering the comprehensive power performance, ride comfort and the residual value of used cars in the future, I think the 2.0T (and 28T) model is the most recommended among the three power systems. Of course, there are four models under 2.0T, and the guide price ranges from 2698 to 339800 yuan. Among them, I recommend that you consider the second-lowest model in 2.0T-28t exclusive model. Its guide price is 275,800 yuan. Just one week before the article was published, I consulted a number of Buick 4S stores in Shanghai, and the general preferential margin was more than 40,000 yuan. The preferential quotation given by the highest store reached 46,000 yuan, which means that the actual market price of this car can basically be controlled in the range of 230,000-240,000 yuan. On this model, you can not only mention a series of configurations such as automatic air conditioner, automatic headlights, electric seats, panoramic sunroof, but also knee airbags, front seat ventilation, and electrically adjustable second row seats. Compared with the two high-profile models, the lack of lane departure warning system, active braking, adaptive cruise, full LED headlights and HUD head-up display are icing on the cake. Considering the price gap, I think it is also acceptable.

  Well, at this point in writing, although I am reluctant, I still have to say goodbye to everyone. of course,If you have anything to talk about LaCrosse, you are welcome to come to mine.Edit blogTalk freely, and I will try my best to answer.. Finally, thank you for your attention to this article during this year, and look forward to seeing you again in the long-term test of a certain model in the future. (Text/car home Sheng Yuanjun)

Indonesia bans palm oil exports, Malaysian officials say it is difficult to fill the gap

  China news agency, Kuala Lumpur, April 24-Huang Risheng, Deputy Minister of Plantation and Former Industry of Malaysia, said on the 23rd that after Indonesia banned the export of palm oil and its raw materials, Malaysia’s palm oil export demand will increase, but it may also face challenges such as labor shortage, making it difficult to fill the market gap left by Indonesia.

  Indonesia announced on the 22nd local time that it would ban the export of palm oil and its raw materials from the 28th of this month. Indonesia is the world’s largest producer and exporter of palm oil, and Malaysia’s production and export volume is second only to Indonesia in the world.

  According to Ma Xinshe, Huang Risheng said in an interview on the evening of 23rd that Indonesia’s export ban measures will help to increase the demand for Malaysian palm oil products in the international market.

  However, Huang Risheng also admitted that Indonesia’s palm oil production and export account for nearly 60% of the global market, and Malaysia is currently facing a labor shortage in palm oil production, "which may not be able to afford the high export demand left by Indonesia".

  He is worried that Indonesia’s ban on palm oil exports will make the global edible oil market unbalanced and the prices of palm oil and other oils may soar.

  Huang Risheng said that the Malaysian government will study the long-term and short-term impact of Indonesia’s export ban and take appropriate measures to deal with it. He introduced that the Malaysian government has listed prepackaged edible palm oil as a controlled commodity and set a maximum price limit of 1 kg to 5 kg bottled oil to protect domestic consumers from the rise in edible oil prices. The Malaysian government also "has to" bear higher subsidies for cooking oil.

In 2023, the first panda baby was born in the Panda Center.

  On June 21st, China Giant Panda Conservation and Research Center announced that on May 29th, the giant panda "Xinxin" successfully gave birth to a cub at Shenshuping base in Wolong. This is the first cub born to a captive giant panda in the Panda Center this year, which indicates that the giant panda in the center has officially entered the "cubing season".

  "In late February this year, the female giant panda ‘ Xinxin ’ And the male giant panda ‘ Huayang ’ Natural mating succeeded. After about two months, ‘ Xinxin ’ Pregnancy manifestations such as reduced food intake and increased activity occurred. On May 28, prenatal irritability occurred, and a cub was born at 22: 51 on May 29. " Yang Changjiang, director of the Breeding Park of the Wolong Shenshuping Base of the Panda Center, said.

  “‘ Xinxin ’ The experience of giving birth is rich, and the whole production process is very smooth. Under the careful care of the breeder, at present, the mother and son are in good health. The cub close to the full moon weighs 721.8 grams. Initially, this cub is female. " Wei Rongping, director of the Wolong Shenshuping Base of the Panda Center, said.

  It is reported that after the giant panda "Xinxin" entered the third trimester of pregnancy, the breeding team of Panda Center took turns to be on duty 24 hours a day. Through remote video surveillance and on-site observation, it monitored the physiological behavior, production and rearing of "Xinxin" and timely analyzed and judged the health status of giant pandas and their cubs.

  The Panda Center has created the world’s largest captive population of giant pandas since it overcame the problem of giant panda breeding in the 1990s. By strengthening pedigree management, delineating the core captive population, and scientifically formulating the panda pairing plan, the transformation and sustainable development of captive population from quantity priority to quality priority have been realized. By improving the management level of giant panda breeding, carrying out research on wild training, release and field introduction, it provides strong scientific and technological support for the construction of giant panda national park.
