My previous article "What is the "manipulation" pursued by young people? ” (click to jump) After it was published, it has received exploratory comments in different channels. I feel that the younger generation is still very concerned about the handling performance of the car. It happened that the editorial department recently brought a BMW 330i M Sports Yaoye Edition, so I Decided to sacrifice my own Mazda 3 Ankesaila, and talk to you about the handling with the measured comparison.
Note that this article is not to say which of the two horses is more powerful. Two cars with a difference of 3 times the price are naturally incomparable.But through this article, at least you will know - BMW is more expensive than Mazda in terms of handling.
Do a regular static comparison first. The nature referred to here is not like the comparison of the usual appearance, interior, and space, but the part that has a practical impact on the handling.
Overall center of gravity:
The first feeling of sitting in the 330i is that the sitting position of the whole person is lower. Since I am not tall at 173cm, I usually adjust the seat of my Ankesaila to the highest position, so I also adjusted the 330i seat to the highest position, and found that the overall is still much lower than that of Ankesaila.
This is definitely not just as simple as creating a sports car atmosphere. In fact, the overall body stance of the 330i is lower than that of Ankersela. After testing, the ground clearance of the two cars is almost the same, but the height of the front of the car is very obvious through the photos below. The previous article on manipulation also said,Body height will be related to the lateral offset of gravity when turning, which is evident in the following test around the pile.
Engine layout:
In addition, there are important details in the engine compartment: Comparing the top positions of the front suspension towers of the two cars, it is obvious that the engine of the 330i is more in the center of the car, on the contrary, the engine of Ankersela is relatively forward.
The reason why the 330i is placed in this way is: as a front-rear-drive car, the engine is closer to the rear axle to save part of the transmission loss; secondly,The engine is closer to the cockpit, which will make the overall weight concentrated in the center of the vehicle, which will undoubtedly reduce the inertial load when cornering; In fact, the front and rear drive layout, due to the distribution of the engine, transmission shaft, rear axle and other components, is also easier to achieve a 50:50 front and rear ratio.
Tire size, performance:
First of all, I would like to report my Ankesaila, which uses Goodyear safety wheels that pay more attention to economy, muteness and comfort. The dimensions of the front and rear wheels are 205/60/R16, which is quite satisfactory, the standard for family cars. , after all, it is only the automatic comfort version of 1.5L.
What about the 330i?In addition to the more beautiful and more restrained 18-inch wheels, the front and rear wheels are all selected.Pirelli's high-performance, high-handling cinturato P7 tires, this is the cost of handling; in addition, it may be difficult for you to imagine that the width of the front and rear wheels of the 330i is different,Steering-focused front wheels are 225mm wide, while power delivery-focused rear wheels are 255mm wide:
The difference between the front and rear wheels of the 330i undoubtedly plays a role in the grip and stability of the driving wheel, and also has a beneficial effect on acceleration and braking, but the flexibility of the rear of the car is slightly sacrificed. It inhibits the chance of running out of control under the manic torque. After all, safety is more important than fun under the limited driving skills of Volkswagen.
Suspension support:
Since my Angke Sera is a 2016 version of 1.5L, there is neither a rear stabilizer bar nor a GVC acceleration vector control system, so there is no need to introduce it. The handling of the entire Ang Kesella is completely balanced by the vehicle. Tune to achieve. But it has to be said that the use of the rear multi-link suspension at this price has already played a great role in the tracking of the control;
The suspension of the BMW 330i is also an integral part of the control cost. The front suspension uses a double ball-joint spring shock strut, an improved variant of McPherson,The two independent lower arms are destined to be more flexible than ordinary MacPherson steering.:
Pile test:
After talking about so many theoretical things in the fog, it is really not as realistic as the comparison of the measured pictures - then under the influence of the body height, front and rear specific gravity distribution, tire size, suspension type and other factors, you can see that even 1.4 tons Compared with the 1.2-ton Mazda, the heavy BMW is too stable (I feel like my Ankersela's feet are going to sag).
There is also a difference in the attitude of the two cars from the rear. It is estimated that the 2.0L Ankersalar with rear stabilizer bar will perform relatively better, but in fact, the focus of the obvious lack of support lies in the front of the car. The front wheels responsible for driving cause a lot of load:
But after a joint test with another colleague, I found an interesting phenomenon: due to the weight of its own car and a little sand and gravel on the site, the BMW 330, which is more powerful in the extreme winding pile, has a tendency to push its head. On the other hand, Angksela's own traceability is slightly more controllable at this time.Of course, this is caused by the special environment of the test. In fact,From the perspective of body posture and tire performance, the "handling limit" has been divided into high and low.
Braking attitude:
Another manifestation of support is also in the braking test. Due to the limitation of the venue, the comparison here is not the braking distance, but the change of the overall posture at the moment of stepping on the brake. The following picture can pay attention to the front and rear wheels of the 330i and Ankesaila Variation of the arch:
In addition, we also tested the turning radius of the two cars. The actual measurement is almost the same, and the Ankersela is relatively larger by about 4cm:
In terms of steering wheel steering, the Angkersela makes a full 1 1/4 laps, while the 330i will have a little more, about 1 1/3 laps:
Under the measured sensitivity and virtual position, the above two points have little effect on the handling, so I will not describe it. But I believe everyone understands:Both are two cars with full reputation for handling.Mazda Anchorage 1.5L, 3 times more expensive thanBMW 330i MYaoNight Sports Edition, where is the difference?The items listed in this article are only a small part of the overall cost. In fact, the various lightweight components of the 330i are already a lot more expensive than the Angksela.
Summarize:
Angkesela, recognized by the media as the most powerful manipulator at the same level, I couldn't put it down myself. As a result, after the cross-level comparison, I was still smashed into slag, but I still want to emphasize:This article is definitely not to compare the two horses who are more powerful. On the contrary, everyone will understand two points at the end of the article-1. The "handling performance" that people like to talk about when they are pretending to be forced on a daily basis turns out to be the same thing; 2. It turns out that a car that claims to focus on "handling" has such a high cost and such a severe training.
In the end, whether you are driving a BMW or a Mazda, you can really enjoy the driving feeling when driving. That is the most important thing. At least I still love my Ankersela deeply after this round of testing. I also hope that all students who love performance and control will like this article.
