食欲の秋、スポーツの秋、読書の秋、この時期は普段以上に様々アクティビティが我々を待っている。今回はこの時期ならではの紅葉を楽しむため、クルマとトレイルランを組み合わせてみた。勾配のキツい山道を走るときにはSUVの車高や視点の高さは非常に魅力的だ。そこでパートナーにはアウディのQ3をチョイスし、八ヶ岳、車山エリアを目指した。
クルマでいったい何しよう♪ 大人の車会見学
クルマの良さを最大に活かし紅葉の絶景を楽しむ
世の中では昨今の状況を考えて一人キャンプなどのソロ遊びが人気らしい。今回選んだのは秋の伝統的な行楽である、紅葉狩りである。景色を楽しむだけでも十分だが、我々はそこにトレイルランも組み合わせた。なぜかというと……調べたところクルマだけではエリアが限定されて紅葉を心から楽しめない可能性が高そうだったからだ。
日本の紅葉はご存じの通り、早いところで9月下旬から始まり、12月上旬まで続く。一番の見頃となる11月上旬の発売号に合わせると10月初旬に撮影をすることになるのだが、その時期は場所がかなり限定され、行ったはいいが紅葉がない……というケースも考えられる。調べてみると10月半ばぐらいまでに紅葉する場所は北海道、東北の一部、関東では標高2000mを超えた場所になると分かった。
しかも、植林してない限り、自然に紅葉する樹木がなければ寒い場所でも意味がない。モミジ、カエデ、白樺、イチョウ、ブナなど、それらが集まる場所を探す。我々はその条件から今回、八ヶ岳、蓼科高原エリアを選んだ。
東京都内から目的地まではおよそ2時間30分。今回のパートナーはアウディのコンパクトSUV、Q3である。未舗装の道も走りつつ、長距離移動をするのにピッタリのクルマだ。コンパクトと言っても2〜3人の小旅行なら積載量、快適性も申し分ない。
【選んだクルマ】Audi Q3 35 TFSI advanced(アウディ Q3 TFSI アドバンスト)
サイズ:全長4490×全幅1840×全高1610mm
排気量:1497cc
最高出力:7速Sトロニック
トランスミッション:電子制御9速AT
車両価格:464万円(アウディ コミュニケーションセンター)
塗装のクオリティやボディパネルのチリ合わせ、緻密なインテリアなど、作り込みのよさはさすがアウディ。この領域での実力はVWはもちろん、メルセデスやBMWをも凌ぐ。今回連れ出したのは35TFSIアドバンスト。1.5ℓガソリンターボは約1.5トンのボディを軽々と加速させ、ワインディングロードでの身のこなしも活き活きとしていた。機能性だけでなく運転好きの期待にもしっかり応えてくれるのが新型Q3だ。
