The best quality vehicle of the country has been tested by the journalists
Road, Desert and Teana
Asrekhodro: Thursday First of Day (Des. 22), 8 o’clock was set as the drive-test time of the best quality vehicle of the country.
According to Asrekhodro, as always this program has started with 2 hours’ delay; therefore, it began at 10:30 am. In the first place, all reporters were divided into 8 different groups, thus, we had every 4 reporters in one vehicle.

On the way to Abiyane city, Qom pay-toll was defined for all applicants as the start line that was at 11.15. This is the place that the test actually starts.

At first, the continuously variable transmission (CVT) was an eye catching item, which helps the vehicle to reach the constant momentum which was absolutely effective with regards to the size of the vehicle. Comfortable seats, high quality seats’ covers, besides, sumptuous cabin are the other points to consider.

This specific vehicle belongs to the D classification (in terms of size), that is for the big vehicle among sedan models. The size of this car is 4.8 meter length, yet very attractive. However, not beneficiating of advanced audio/video system was a negative point that came to the reporters’ mined as well.

After driving for almost 1.30 minutes, we arrived at Mahtab restaurant, which was located just before Qom city that was a pre-arranged place for the drivers’ gathering. During the car parking we encountered another difficulty; i.e. not having back sensor and camera was a significant weakness of this model in such a situation.

Later that lunch time and changing the drivers, the departure toward Kashan city was begun, and thanks to the isolated highway plus the absence of the police fleet we experienced high-speed driving with the speed of over 200 Km.

Next to this fast driving adventurous experience and taking some souvenir photos, changing the driver time came again. Approaching Abiyane, we reached Zaghe, this is an underground place that is dug by farmers which mostly have wooden door. According to the residents who plant trees, in order to support the trees they install two wooden sticks in both sides of the tree, therefore the tree will not bend in the windy days. These wooden sticks are stored in the mentioned Zaghe, and then in the cultivation time they can easily use them. Due to the far distance between the city and the arable land, farmers prefer to have their store near the land in order not to go back to the city a lot.

From Kashan to Abiyane the atmosphere was totally different. On the way, the military’s equipment was obvious and also those eyes from the other side of the camouflage nets that were watching us, then you can go through an apprehension and confident feeling both at the same time. We were full of pride and full of anxiety. We also passed very exciting area of Natanz and later based on the numerous signboards that showed “no photo”, we decided to leave the area sooner.

Photographer could not resist not taking any photo, perhaps this spectacular view reminded those days that they were taking photo in the wedding ceremonies.

The front view (face) of Teana with beautiful extended front lights, besides, its front window made you to stare at this vehicle nonstop. From the other point of view (left of right sides) you could see a breakdown lines all over the body, started from the front part all the way to the back. This kind of design helped the door to have more shine and was a prominent reason that you recognized this vehicle as a family car, because it seemed bigger than its actual size. Finally, for the back three were pretty LEDs’ lights which then completely beautify the vehicle in every angel.

By the time we reached the Natanz-Abiyane mountain road, because of the construction activity the public relation official of Pars Khodro asked us to change the drivers with more experienced ones.

Driving in such a situation brought us another opportunity to evaluate Teana efficiency.

Teana string wheels had option for either smooth or rough function based on its speed; this valuable option had a positive impact on tall drivers. Thanks to this option, in high-speed you could control the vehicle better, otherwise in such a speed with a hydraulic string wheel you would easily lose control over the vehicle; therefore, having this particular option helped to have a very safe drive in this luxury vehicle.

After being in the winding road, we finally arrived at the Abiyane hotel at 5 pm. This was such a beautiful place. The traditional architecture of Abiyane mesmerizes every single person and many lessons about anthropology their and history can be learned through this particular architecture. So far many books have been written about this place. Even there are a lot of sources on people’s behaviorism and more information can be found with a little more investigation. Above all there is something very especial in there as well; a place that is seen much better from the higher places,and that place shows the interaction between the very ancient places like this one with the modern world.

Abiyane residents’ life style and also their outfit are among those that are considered as their very own style. Everybody who lives there wears the very ethnic clothes and appears in the small society of their own; as if you somehow believe that you are in the tunnel of time.

The next day was pointed for departure from Abiyane to Teharn, as it happened before; again we had a delay for 1.5 hours.

The schedule was not that much different. Once more the drivers were looking for various tests such as high speed, memento and divers tests in this regard. Unlike the previous day, we found more time as we stopped to visit the Shrine belongs to Agha Ali Abass.

This time due to this discontinuation on the way and changing the direction, it took more time and we were stuck in the traffic jam in Azadegan highway, therefore, the time when we arrived in Tehran, it was already 7 pm.

During these two days’ road trip, Teana proved its quality; consequently, winning the title of the best vehicle in the country was quite obvious for this model. It  is expected that, with adding more options to this very model, we can picture a better prospect for it as well.
