Izwe lesimanje lezimoto liyahlekisa. Uma eminyakeni engu-7-8 edlule othile wangitshela ukuthi uzobhekana ne-crossover kagesi kanje IHyundai Kauai Electric futhi ngizobe ngizibuza ukuthi kungaba yini indlela engcono kakhulu phakathi kwebanga (okuhlanganisa nezinjini zikaphethiloli, udizili neziyingxube), ngingamtshela lowo muntu ukuthi ngiyahlanya.
Ngemuva kwakho konke, eminyakeni engu-7-8 edlule ama-tram ambalwa akhona asebenze kancane kunokuba asetshenziswe njengendlela (cishe) yezokuthutha zasemadolobheni kuphela, ngenxa yokuzimela okulinganiselwe kakhulu kanye nenethiwekhi yokushaja engekho.
Manje, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi nge-Dieselgate (njengoba uFernando esitshela kulesi sihloko) noma ngokuphoqelelwa kwezombangazwe, iqiniso liwukuthi eminyakeni yamuva, izimoto zikagesi ziye zathatha "ama-giant leaps" futhi namuhla, ngokuqhubekayo, ziyindlela ehlukile yomlilo.
Kodwa ingabe lokho kwenza i-Hyundai Kauai Electric ibe yisinqumo esingcono kakhulu phakathi kwe-crossover range yaseNingizimu Korea? Emigqeni elandelayo ungathola.
ezahlukene ngokujabulisayo
Akuthathi ukubhekisisa okuseduze kakhulu ukubona ukuthi i-Kauai Electric ihlukile kwezinye i-Kauai. Zisuka nje, ukungabibikho kwegrille yangaphambili nokufakwa kwamasondo anesakhiwo esithinta ukusebenza kwe-aerodynamic.
Bhalisela iphephandaba lethu
Ngaphakathi, esebenzisa izinto eziqinile ngesilinganiso esikhulu, umhlangano wayo ofanelwe ukutuswa ngenxa yokungabikho komsindo we-parasitic, sinokubukeka okuhlukile, ngokungabi khona kwe-gearbox okuvumela ukuthi i-centre console iphakanyiswe futhi ngaleyo ndlela izuze (okuningi) isikhala.
Kumele ngivume ukuthi ngaphandle nangaphakathi ngithanda iHyundai Kauai Electric. Ngiyakuthokozela ukubukeka okunolaka ngaphambili futhi ngaphakathi ngincamela ukubukeka kwesimanjemanje kanye nobuchwepheshe ukuthi le nguqulo kagesi engu-100% iqhathaniswe ne "brothers" enenjini evuthayo.
Ugesi nomndeni
Nakuba umklamo wangaphakathi uhlukile, izibonelelo zokuphila ze-Kauai Electric zicishe zifane nezinye ze-Kauai. Ukwenze kanjani? Kulula. Babeka iphakethe lebhethri phezu kwesisekelo sepulatifomu.
Ngenxa yalokhu, i-crossover yaseNingizimu Korea inesikhala sokuthutha ngokunethezeka abantu abadala abane futhi kuphela indawo yemithwalo ebona umthamo wayo wehla kancane (kusuka ku-361 amalitha kuya ku-332 amalitha asamukelekayo).
Isiqu sinamandla angama-332 amalitha.
ngokulinganayo
Njengoba ubungalindela, kukwisipiliyoni sokushayela (kanye nokusebenzisa) lapho i-Hyundai Kauai Electric izihlukanisa kakhulu nezingane zakubo.
Esahlukweni esiguqukayo, umehluko awuminingi kakhulu, kanti i-Kauai Electric ihlala ithembekile emiqulwini eguquguqukayo kakade ebonwa kwezinye izinguqulo.
Ngesilungiselelo sokumiswa esikwazi ukuvumelanisa ukunethezeka nokuziphatha kahle, iHyundai Kauai Electric nayo inokuqondisa okuqondile, okunembayo nokuxhumana. Konke lokhu kunomthelela ekuphepheni, okubikezelwe ngisho… nokuziphatha okuguquguqukayo okujabulisayo.
Ukulethwa kwe-torque, ngakolunye uhlangothi, yilokho esikujwayele ezimotweni zikagesi. I-385 Nm izotholakala maduze kanye ne-204 hp (150 kW), yingakho imodeli yaseNingizimu Korea inamandla "enkosi yamarobhothi" (nangaphezulu).
Uhlelo lwe-infotainment luphelele futhi ngenxa yokugcinwa kwezilawuli ezibonakalayo kulula ukulusebenzisa.
Amamodi okushayela, ngiwafunela ini?
Ngamamodi amathathu okushayela — “Normal”, “Eco” kanye “Sport” — I-Kauai Electric ayizivumelanisi nezitayela zokushayela ezihlukene. Nakuba imodi "Ejwayelekile" yenza umsebenzi wayo kahle (ibonakala njengokuvumelana phakathi kwabantu ababili be-Kauai Electric), kufanele ngivume ukuthi kungokweqile lapho kutholakala khona "ubuntu obuthakazelisa kakhulu".
Ukuqala ngendlela iningi elibonakala ngayo kimi ukuthi "lishada" nomlingiswa we-Kauai Electric, i-"Eco", lokhu kubonakala ngokungakhethi kakhulu, ngokuphambene nalokho esikubona ngezinye izikhathi kwamanye amamodeli. Kuyiqiniso ukuthi ukusheshisa kuya kancane futhi yonke into isikhuthaza ukuthi songe, kodwa lokho akusenzi sibe “umnenke wemigwaqo”. Ngaphezu kwalokho, kule modi kungenzeka ukuthi usebenzise amandla angu-12.4 kWh/100 km futhi ubone ukuzimela kwangempela kungaphezu kwamakhilomitha angu-449 akhangisiwe.
Imodi "Yezemidlalo" iphendula i-Kauai Electric ibe uhlobo "lwenhlamvu yaseNingizimu Korea". Ukusheshisa kuba kuhle futhi uma sicisha isilawuli sokudonsa, i-204 hp ne-385 Nm yenza amathayi angaphambili abe "izicathulo", okuveza ubunzima ekuqukethe wonke amandla ama-electron. Okuwukuphela komphumela ongemuva ovela kugrafu yokusebenzisa, okuthi noma nini lapho ngiphikelela ekushayeleni ngokuzibophezela kwaphakama cishe ku-18-19 kWh/100 km.
Okuhle kakhulu ukuthi ngemuva kokukhetha ezinye izindlela ezimbili nokuthatha idrayivu epholile, zehla ngokushesha zaya ku-14 kuya ku-15 kWh/100 km futhi ukuzimela kwakhuphukela kumanani asenza sicishe sibuze: uphethiloli wani?
Okokugcina, akusizi nje kuphela ukusebenzisana komuntu/nomshini kodwa nokwandisa ukuzimela, izindlela ezine zokukhiqiza kabusha ezingakhethwa ngama-paddles kukholomu yokuqondisa (cishe) zikuvumela ukuthi ulahle i-pedal yebhuleki. Ekushayeleni okomnotho, bakwenza uhambe ngomkhumbi noma bashaje kabusha amabhethri akho ngokwehla kuye ngezidingo zakho futhi, ekushayeleni okuzibophezele, ungacishe ulingise umthelela wokunciphisa isilinganiso segiya “esiphuthelwe isikhathi eside” lapho ungena kumajika.
Ake siye kuma-akhawunti
Ngemva kwesikhathi esingangesonto ku-tram yakwaHyundai, kufanele ngivume ukuthi kunesici esisodwa kuphela esiholela ekubeni ngingayiqambi njengenketho engcono kakhulu phakathi kwe-crossover range yaseNingizimu Korea: inani layo.
Naphezu kokuba ishibhile kakhulu kunanoma yibaphi abafowabo futhi inamandla amakhulu kunabo bonke, umehluko wamanani mkhulu kakhulu, konke ngenxa yezindleko zobuchwepheshe bukagesi.
Ukuze uthole umbono womehluko wamanani, vele wenze izibalo. Iyunithi esiyihlolile yayinezinga lempahla ye-Premium, etholakala kusukela kuma-euro angu-46,700.
Inguqulo kaphethiloli enamandla alingana nayo ine-1.6 T-GDi enamandla angu-177 hp, ozishintshayo futhi itholakala kusukela ku-29 694 euros. Okuhlukile okunamandla kadizili okuzishintshayo, i-1.6 CRDi eno-136 hp, ezingeni lempahla ye-Premium kubiza ukusuka ku-25 712 euros.
Ekugcineni, i-Kauai Hybrid, ene-141 hp yezindleko zamandla aphezulu ahlanganisiwe, ezingeni lemishini ye-Premium, isuka ku-26 380 euros.
Ingabe lokhu kusho ukuthi kufanele uwele i-Kauai Electric kusukela kuzinketho zakho? Akunjalo, kufanele wenze izibalo. Naphezu kwenani eliphakeme, ayikhokhi i-IUC futhi ifanelekele ukuthola izinxephezelo zokuthengwa kwamathilamu nguHulumeni.
Ngaphandle kwalokho, ugesi ishibhile kunamafutha ezinto ezimbiwa phansi, ungathola ibheji le-EMEL ukuze upake e-Lisbon ngama-euro angu-12 kuphela, ukunakekelwa kumbalwa futhi kuthengwa kakhulu, futhi ungathenga imoto “enobufakazi besikhathi esizayo”.
Ingabe imoto ingifanele?
Njengoba sengivele ngishayela i-Diesel, i-Gasoline ne-Hybrid Kauai, kufanele ngivume ukuthi nganginelukuluku lokuhlola i-Hyundai Kauai Electric.
Izimfanelo uKauai osekunesikhathi ezibona, njengokuziphatha okuhle okuguquguqukayo noma ikhwalithi enhle yokwakha, le Kauai Electric yengeza izinzuzo ezifana nokuzola okujabulisayo esondweni, ukusebenza kwe-ballistic kanye nomnotho wokusetshenziswa ongenakuqhathaniswa.
Ithule, ivulekile q.s. (ayikho i-Kauai eyizilinganiso zesigaba kulesi sahluko), iyajabulisa futhi kulula ukuyishayela, le Kauai Electric iwubufakazi bokuthi imoto kagesi ingaba ukuphela kwemoto emndenini.
Ngenkathi ngihamba nayo, angikaze ngizwe “ukukhathazeka ngokuzibusa” okudumile (futhi phawula ukuthi anginayo indawo yokuthwala imoto futhi anginalo ikhadi lale njongo) futhi iqiniso liwukuthi lokhu kuyisinqumo esihle kulabo bafuna ukonga futhi kulula ukuyisebenzisa nokuyinakekela.
Ukuthi ingcono kakhulu ebangeni? Intengo yobuchwepheshe kuphela eyenza, ngokubona kwami, iHyundai Kauai Electric ingasitholi leso sihloko, njengoba kufakazela ukuthi ukuba nogesi akusadingi imvume enkulu.
