Ngo-2021, iLand Rover yongeza umahluko omfutshane onamacango amabini kwi-nameplate yayo ye-Defender evusiweyo: i-Defender 90. Xa ithelekiswa ne-Defender 110 enkulu, inguqulo emfutshane ye-iconic yaseBritane ye-SUV Rover ibonakala intle kakhulu.Ngophahla lwayo olucocekileyo olucocekileyo, imilinganiselo egqibeleleyo, ipeyinti yePangea Green kunye namatayara asecaleni adadayo kwicala le-tailgate evula icala, i-Defender 90 inemvakalelo eyahlukileyo kwi-110 enkulu.
Nangona imilo yebhokisi yeklasi kunye neenkcukacha ezibalaseleyo ziyafana, ibhokisi ye-Defender 90 ibonakala ingcono-kwaye inenjongo ngakumbi.Ukuba i-Four-door Guard 110 yi-SUV yempelaveki yosapho eqhutywa ngabazali abangamakhwenkwe, ke i-90 ngumntu owonqena ukusefa nokugoduka eludakeni ngoLwesibini.
Kakade ke, oku kufana ne-stereotype.I-110 yeminyango emine ibonakala ibukhali kwaye ithanda i-excursions ye-impromptu, enokuthi ibandakanye ukuqubha ze kwi-creek okanye umlambo onzulu njenge-intshi ye-35.4, kunye nokusebenzisa i-wading sensor ukuze ibone ubunzulu obungaphambili kwaye uyibonise kwisikrini esiphakathi.Ngaphandle kwezona meko zinzima kakhulu, i-110 kunye ne-Defender 90 zilungile ngokulinganayo kwi-off-road.Oku kubandakanya i-engile yokusondela kunye nokuhamba (ebonisa amandla ayo okunyuka imiqobo enqabileyo ngaphandle kokukrazula isilevu okanye i-bumper yangasemva), kunye nenkqubo ye-terrain yokuzikhethela ye-2 evumela umqhubi ukuba akhethe ngokwendawo ye-terrain Optimal traction mode.
Kodwa kwiiSUV ezineminyango emibini, nokuba yiDefender, iFord Bronco ezelwe ngokutsha okanye iJeep Wrangler yakudala, kukho into enentsingiselo ngakumbi.Kuyaphawuleka ukuba ngaphambi kokuba i-Defender 90 entsha kunye ne-Bronco (i-Bronco eneminyango emine iyafumaneka) yasungulwa kwihlobo elidlulileyo, i-Wrangler yayiyi-SUV yokugqibela yeminyango emibini esathengiswa e-United States.Kwaye oku kucwangciswa kweWrangler-imbali yayo eneminyango emibini inokulandelwa umva kwi-Willis Jeep eyanceda uMkhosi wase-US ukuba uphumelele iMfazwe Yehlabathi II-inguqulelo yayo eneminyango emine engenamkhawulo igqithise ngokugqibeleleyo intengiso.
Kunyaka wokuqala, iLand Rover yathengisa ngaphezu kwe-16,000 yoonogada abaneengcango ezine eMelika.UJoe Eberhart, uMongameli kunye ne-CEO ye-Jaguar Land Rover yaseMntla Melika, uxelele i-Forbes Wheels ukuba njengoko i-Defender 90 isanda kufika kwindawo yokubonisa, kusesekuseni kakhulu ukutsho ukuba bangaphi abathengi abaza kukhetha inguqulo encinci kunye nezemidlalo.
“Siyazi ukuba kukho imarike ye-Defender 90,” utshilo u-Eberhardt.“Bangabantu abakhangela iindlela zothutho ezenzelwe wena kunye nezicacileyo;eyona nto ibalulekileyo ebantwini.”
Nanjengoko abantu baseMelika beyigxotha i-coupe eneminyango emibini engakhathaliyo esuka kwiChevrolet Camaro ukuya kwi-GT yodidi oluphezulu evela eYurophu naseJapan, eli qela lisebenzayo liye lasuka kwii-SUVs ezineminyango emibini kunye neepicups.
Kodwa izinto eziluncedo kakhulu azisoloko zisemgangathweni.Kangangamashumi eminyaka, kuquka oo-1950, oo-1960, kunye noo-1970, ukuthengiswa kwee-sedan ezineminyango emibini kuye kwagqitha leyo yeesedan.Abantu abakhathali ngokuxinana kwisitulo esingasemva.Kwiimeko ezininzi, umnyango we-yacht-ubungakanani be-coupe (cinga i-Cadillac Eldorado) inkulu njenge-raft yolwandle.Ngokuphathelele i-4 × 4 kwiminyaka yokuqala, imodeli yeminyango emibini yayithandwa kakhulu phakathi kwezihlwele zangaphandle.Ezo modeli zinomdla kwaye zingathobekiyo ziquka iToyota "FJ" Land Cruiser-eyenziwe ukusuka kwi-1960 ukuya kwi-1984 kwaye ngoku iqoqo elixabisekileyo-isizukulwana sokuqala iToyota 4Runner, iChevrolet K5 Blazer, iJeep Cherokee, iNissan Pathfinder, i-Isuzu Mounted Police and Feet.Wayne, Indiana, International Harvester Boy Scouts.
Abavelisi be-auto bazise izinto ezininzi ezinobungakanani kunye nezinde, ezibonisa ixesha lanamhlanje lokuwela imida.Ngo-1986, iSuzuki yaphumelela ngeSamurai enamacango amabini anesitayile, iSUV encinci ethi, nangona inenjini yamahashe angama-63 kuphela, iyonwaba esitratweni kwaye iyaphambana xa ingekho endleleni.I-Samurai yaba yeyona moto yaseJapan ithengisa ngokukhawuleza kwimbali yaseMelika kunyaka wayo wokuqala kwaye yazala u-Suzuki Sidekick (kunye nesebe le-Geo Tracker le-General Motors), emva kokuba i-scandal ye-rollover ephikisanayo yachaphazela ukuthengiswa kwayo kwaye yatshabalalisa ikamva layo.
I-Toyota RAV4 yasekuqaleni inikezela ngeemodeli zeminyango emibini ukusuka kwi-1996 ukuya ku-2000, kwaye ngo-1998 yazisa i-convertible efanelekileyo kubafundi be-sophomores.Eyona nto ingaqhelekanga yiNissan Murano CrossCabriolet.Olu guqulelo lweminyango emibini eguquguqukayo yeMurano edumileyo ijongeka (kwaye iqhuba) njengeHumpty Dumpty emva kokuntlitheka kwayo.Emva kweminyaka emithathu yokuthengisa okupholileyo, uNissan wayeka ukuvelisa ngo-2014, kodwa mhlawumbi yaba nentsini yokugqibela.Ukuqengqeleka kwiCrossCabrio evulekileyo namhlanje kuya kutsala iqela lababukeli abanomdla ngokukhawuleza kunezinye iimoto zemidlalo.
I-Defender 90 entsha nayo iqinisekisiwe ukujika iintloko, kodwa ngendlela efanelekileyo.Ndiye ndaqhuba i-Defender 110 kwaye ndenza ukunyuka kwamagingxigingxi ukusuka kwithambeka leNtaba i-Equinox eVermont;hard-core off-road emahlathini of Maine-kubandakanya ozikhethelayo $4,000 eyenziwe-in-Italian uphahla intente Landy Camp ngobusuku yedwa.Zombini ezi modeli zimele ilitye elitsha lokucofa kwi-off-road 4 × 4 off-road performance, enkosi ngokuyinxenye kwi-adaptive air suspension kunye ne-chassis ye-aluminium ephucukileyo, i-Land Rover ithi ukuqina kwayo kuphindwe kathathu kunomzimba ongcono.Ilori yesakhelo.
Nangona kunjalo, kwiindlela zasemaphandleni emantla eManhattan, i-Defender 90 ngokukhawuleza yabonisa inzuzo yayo yokuguquguquka ngaphezu komntakwabo omkhulu.Njengoko kulindelekile, le SUV encinane enobunzima kuphela 4,550 eeponti, kodwa turbo efanayo The supercharged, 296-horsepower, enamandla ngakumbi 110 has a 4,815 ezine-cylinder injini.Ixabiso le-Defender 90 nalo liphantsi, liqala kwi-$ 48,050, ngelixa i-cylinder emine i-110 iqala kwi-$ 51,850.Ngokwemvelo, kungakhathaliseki ukuba zeziphi iinketho ezimbini ze-injini enazo, ivakalelwa ngokukhawuleza ekuchukumiseni.Uhlelo lokuqala lwe-Defender 90 ($66,475) endiyiqhube yayiphantse yalayishwa ngokupheleleyo ukusuka kwi-3.0-litre inline six-cylinder injini ene-supercharger, i-turbocharger, kunye ne-48-volt mild hybrid supercharger.Apha kuza ubungakanani obuchanekileyo be-395 horsepower.
Iyakhawuleza ukuya kuma-60 mph kwimizuzwana eyi-5.8, igcina i-SUV encinci enesitayile.I-top-of-the-line Defender V8 iya kufumaneka kamva kulo nyaka (izimbo zomzimba ezimbini), ukuqala kwi-$ 98,550 ye-90 kunye ne-$ 101,750 ye-110. Le mizekelo ye-injini ye-5.0-litre ye-V8 ephezulu inika i-518 horsepower, efana ne ii-injini ezibonelela nge-artillery-esebenzisa i-soundtrack-ehambelana ne-firepower kwiimodeli ezifana ne-Jaguar F-Pace SUV, i-F-Type yemoto yezemidlalo kunye ne-Range Rover Sport SVR.
Ingaba ngumkhuseli, i-Wrangler okanye i-Mustang, inguqulo yeminyango emibini iphinda ithi i-advantage off-road, nokuba inani elincinci labanini beemoto liya kwandisa lo buchule.Ubungakanani obubambeneyo bubavumela ukuba bakhethe iindlela ezimxinwa kunye nojiko olungqongqo kunabantakwabo abomeleleyo.I-wheelbase emfutshane ivumela ukuba boyise imiqobo ephezulu ngaphandle "kokubeka phakathi" okanye ukuxhoma kufutshane nombindi njengeesawri kwifulcrum.
Yeyiphi eyona mfihlo igcinwayo kwezi SUVs zihexa?Ngokwenene zifaneleke kakhulu kuhlobo oluthile lwefashoni yasezidolophini, njengoko lo mnini-Wrangler wokuqala engqina.I-Defender entsha ye-90 kuphela i-intshi ye-170 ubude, ngaphezu kweenyawo ezimfutshane kune-compact Honda Civic sedan.(I-Wranglers ezimbini zimalunga ne-167 intshi ubude).Oku kubavumela ukuba baxinzelele kwiindawo zokupaka ezimxinwa kakhulu.Kwangaxeshanye, ziziinqaba ezinde, ezixhobe kakuhle, ezilungele ukujonga izithuthi nokuzikhusela kubaqhubi baka-Uber abangalindelekanga.Ezi SUVs ziyakwazi ukususa imingxunya kunye neminye imiqobo yasezidolophini enokonakalisa amatayara namavili eemoto zesintu.
Ngaphandle komlinganiselo okholisayo kunye neenzuzo zokusebenza, imiqobo emibini isekho.Indawo yempahla ecekethekileyo kunye nesitulo sangasemva esingqongqo silingana nokungena nokuphuma okoyikekayo.Ukunyuka kuzo kufuna ubuchwephesha bolutsha ukuba baphephe ukukhubeka kwimigubasi kunye namazinyo okumisa ecaleni kwendlela kuqala.
Oonogada abaneengcango ezimbini benza izinto zibe lula, kuquka iqhosha kwizitulo ezingaphambili ezinokuzityhala phambili ukuze kube lula (kodwa kube nzima) ukungena.Nangona kunjalo, xa sele bekhwele, abaphambili be-NBA banendawo eyaneleyo yentloko kunye negumbi lomlenze elininzi.
I-trade-off enkulu kukuba i-intshi ye-17 ubude obulahlekileyo (xa kuthelekiswa ne-intshi ye-110) iphantse iphelele kwi-cargo hold.110 Isithuba impahla ngasemva kumqolo wesibini ngaphezu kabini oko kwaba 1990, 34.6 cubic feet, kunye 15.6 cubic feet.I-110 ikwabonelela ngepere yezihlalo ezikumqolo wesithathu ezinobungakanani bomntwana ezinokuthatha abantu abasixhenxe.I-90 inika isitulo sokutsiba esizikhethelayo (esikwakhona kwi-110) eguqula ibhakethi yangaphambili ibe yibhentshi elungele imiqolo emithathu ekwaziyo ukuhlala abantu abathandathu.Nangona kunjalo, kwiintsapho ezinama-strollers abantu ababini kunye nezixhobo ezininzi, i-110 ngumdlalo onengqondo.
UStuart Schorr, intloko yezonxibelelwano kwi-JLR kuMntla Merika, ngokufanelekileyo wachaza ukuba abathengi abanokuba ngabathengi baya kulazi iklabhu abakuyo: “Xa ndathatha abantu ndibaqhubela ngemoto ngeminyaka yee-90s, bathi, ‘Ngokuqinisekileyo ndiza kuyifumana [kuba] ungajongi Isisombululo esisebenzayo;Ndiyithenge kuba ipholile kwaye ndiyayithanda.’”
