Okokuqala iyamangalisa, emva koko imiliselwe. Ngamafutshane, le yindlela endishwankathela ngayo iikhilomitha zam zokuqala emva kwevili leToyota Prius entsha.
Kwiveki ephelileyo ndiye eValencia ukuya kubona iToyota Prius entsha, isizukulwana sesine semodeli eyazalwa kwiminyaka eyi-18 eyadlulayo kwaye ithe yathengisa ngaphezulu kwe-3.5 yezigidi zeeyunithi kwihlabathi liphela. Ngokwemvelo, ndiyibonile ngaphambili kwimifanekiso kwaye ndiyavuma ukuba yayingelothando ekuqaleni. Ukufika eValencia, ndamjonga amatyeli alishumi elinambini (ndilinde olo nqakrazo lothando…) kwaye akukho nto.Ayiyomoto entle ngokwemigangatho eqhelekileyo, iToyota Prius ingaphezulu kwayo yonke into… iToyota Prius. Iqela loyilo laseJapan alizange lisebenzele uyilo lwePrius ukuba luvumelane – kodwa eneneni imigca yayo isebenza kakuhle. Ngokuchasene nemigangatho yoshishino, i-Prius yenzelwe ukukholisa umxhasi okhethekileyo, othanda ukungafani, abathanda iziphakamiso ezihambelana nokusingqongileyo kwaye bajonge imoto ngepetroli encinci kunye nendlela yokusetyenziswa.
EZIQHELEKILEYO: Le Toyota Prius ayifani nezinye…
Ukuqwalaselwa kobuhle ecaleni, isizukulwana se-4 iToyota Prius iye yavela ngandlela zonke: injini; amandla iteknoloji; intuthuzelo; kunye nomgangatho. Yimodeli yokuqala ye-brand ukusebenzisa iqonga le-TNGA-C (Toyota New Global Architecture), isakhiwo esiqinisekisa ukuqina kwe-60% ngakumbi xa kuthelekiswa nemodeli yangaphambili.
Ngeli qonga elitsha i-Prius iphinde yafumana ukumiswa okuzimeleyo okuzimeleyo, iibhetri zaqala ukuba "zicocekile" phantsi kwezihlalo zangasemva (ngaphambili zaziphantsi kwe-trunk) kwaye ngale nto, yayiyindlela yokuziphatha eguqukayo eyaphuma ukuphumelela. Inobude be-6 cm (4540 mm), igcine i-wheelbase (2700 mm), iyi-15 mm (1760 mm) ububanzi kunye ne-20mm (1470mm) mfutshane. Njengoko ubona, imilinganiselo itshintshile kancinane, kodwa iziko lomxhuzulane elisezantsi, i-centralization yobuninzi kunye nokumiswa okutsha kwangemva kutshintsha irejista eguquguqukayo yemodeli nge-180º.
Ngokungafaniyo nesizukulwana sesi-3, kwiToyota Prius entsha sivakalelwa kukuba siqhuba imoto yokwenene - iziqhoboshi zisabela kakuhle, i-chassis isabela kwiigalelo zethu kwaye i-steering iyathetha. Ndingalisebenzisa igama elithi ukonwaba? Kunjalo, iToyota Prius entsha kumnandi ukuyiqhuba. Umphambili kulula ukujolisa kwikona kwaye umva ngaphantsi kwemithwalo ephezulu izilayidi ngendlela elawulwayo ukunceda ukugcina 'umzuzu'. Ewe, yiPrius kwaye yenza oku...
Ukuvuselela iqonga elitsha yi-injini ye-petroli ye-1.8 yelitha yesizukulwana sangaphambili (i-Atkinson cycle) kunye neenjini ezimbini zombane ezisebenza kunye neyunithi ye-thermal - kumandla adibeneyo e-122hp. Nangona kunjalo, kukho izinto ezintsha ezininzi ezenza into efanayo ekuqaleni (injini kunye nenkqubo yombane) endleleni isebenze ngcono kunangaphambili.
I-injini ifumene utshintsho olwenze yasebenza ngakumbi - iToyota ithi le 1.8 yeyona njini yepetroli isebenzayo kwimarike (i-thermal esebenzayo 40%) - isiguquli sombane sincinci ngama-30%, iibhetri zitshaja kwakhona nge-28% ngokukhawuleza kwaye Ibhokisi ye-CVT ikhawuleza (ukunciphisa ilahleko yamandla ngama-20%). Isiphumo? I-injini ehlala ifumaneka kwaye imnandi, ngaphandle kwaloo "scream" eqhelekileyo yeenjini ezine-CVT gearbox ngesantya esithe kratya.
Ukukhawulezisa ukusuka ku-0-100km/h kufumaneka ngemizuzwana eyi-10.6 kwaye umyinge obhengeziweyo wosetyenziso yi-3.0 litre/100km kunye nokukhutshwa kwe-70 g/km kuphela (kwiinguqulelo ezinamavili angama-15-intshi) – ndiyathandabuza ukuba “kwilizwe lokwenyani” sinokufikelela kwiilitha ezi-3 ukuya kwi-100, kodwa injongo yeelitha ezi-5 ukuya kwi-100 ngesantya esiphilayo sinokwenzeka - nangaphantsi ukuba silumke ngonyawo lwethu lwasekunene.
AKUMELE UPHOSELWE: IToyota 2000GT: imoto yezemidlalo esemgangathweni evela kuMhlaba weLanga eliphumayo
Ngaphakathi, kwakhona indaleko idume kakubi. Sihleli kufutshane nomhlaba, indawo yevili lokuqhuba ichanekile, izixhobo zingcono, kwaye indibano ayifanelanga kugxekwa. I-head-up display inombala, inkqubo ye-infotainment ifundeka lula kwaye izixhobo zokuqhuba (i-automatic braking, i-adaptive cruise control, isilumkiso sendawo eyimfama, njl.njl.) ziyinxalenye yezixhobo ezikhoyo. Indawo yemithwalo ineelitha ezingaphezulu kwama-500 kwaye kukho indawo eninzi yabantu abahlala kwisitulo esingasemva. Kwi-Prius apho yonke into (ekugqibeleni!) ibonakala isebenza ngokubambisana, ukuthula kulawula ebhodini - enye yeenkxalabo ezinkulu zamadoda eToyota kwesi sizukulwana sesine.
Ngamafutshane, i-Prius ayinakuba "luthando ekuqaleni kokubona" kodwa iyaqinisekisa ngombono wayo, amandla, indawo ebhodini kunye nezisombululo zobuchwepheshe. Ukuba ucinga ukuthenga imoto etofotofo, eyahlukileyo neneempawu eziqhelekileyo, zama ukukhwela iPrius. IToyota Prius entsha sele ifumaneka kwimarike yelizwe ukusuka kwi-32,215 € (inguqulo ekhethekileyo).
