The Geely Tugella crossover, popular among Russians, has a number of disadvantages. In this regard he is writing The portal “AvtoVzglyad” with reference to the head of the department responsible for the development of products and services of the Alfa-Leasing Group of Companies Maxim Davidenko.
The publication notes that the crossover received a reliable two-liter engine with a capacity of 238 hp. But it is necessary to be careful.
“Like many modern high-tech engines, the Tugella power unit requires increased attention as it is sensitive to fuel quality, requires regular flushing of injectors and is prone to the formation of carbon deposits on the intake valves,” Davidenko explained.
He added that Tugella installed an eight-speed Aisin TG-81SC automatic transmission. For proper operation, the driver must change the transmission oil every 50-60 thousand km. In addition, the expert recommended keeping the surfaces of the transmission radiator clean, as dirt disrupts its thermal balance.
Davidenko added that the car’s suspension is quite reliable, but there is a risk of spring sagging in case of overload. The expert also noted that car owners have mixed opinions about the crossover’s braking system. In their opinion, the single-piston front brake calipers are insufficiently powerful.
Before this Zeekr clarified details about the new crossover. The car was given the name 7X, symbolizing the similarity of the design of this model with the Zeekr 007 sedan, which is already produced by this brand. Previously, the crossover was planned to be called Ark.
The length of the crossover is 4825 mm, the wheelbase is 2925 mm. It is 75 mm longer, 10 mm wider and 32 mm higher than its main competitor, the American Tesla. The main design feature of the new Zeekr is the interactive display integrated into the front part.
Previously AppearedHe said that Changan will offer a “winter” version of the CS95 crossover in Russia.
