According to data from the Association of Passenger Transporters, from January to November this year, the number one car sales list was Dongfeng Nissan Xuanyi, with cumulative sales of 462715 units. When it comes to Xuanyi's family car, comfort and fuel saving are its two major labels, which mainly refer to the fuel version of the model. And now e-POWER Xuanyi has come, known as an unplugged (fuel-added) "tram", the official 100 km fuel consumption is 3.9L.
Not long ago, we test drove e-POWER Xuanyi in Chengdu, and during the near morning rush hour, the actual fuel consumption measured was 3.4L/100km, which can be said to be far lower than the fuel version of Xuanyi. Today, let's talk about e-POWER Xuanyi, compared to the fuel version of Xuanyi, is it just more fuel-efficient?
After the morning peak in the city, fuel consumption is as low as 3.4L
Regarding the low fuel consumption of 3.4L/100km, it needs to be explained here. At 9:30 a.m. on the same day, we set off from downtown Chengdu (within the first ring road) to our destination outside the fourth ring road, a journey of about 25 kilometers. The first few kilometers of the road conditions will be more congested, and the road conditions will be smoother in the back, and you can maintain a speed of about 60km/h.
In the end, when we arrived at the destination, the average fuel consumption of the meter was 3.4L/100km, and the average speed of the watch was 37km/h. It is worth mentioning that throughout the process, our driving style is gentle and does not have the working conditions of the big foot throttle. Of course, we also tried later, using a style closer to everyday driving, and measured the actual fuel consumption level between 4L/100km and 5L/100km.
What is e-POWER black technology, and what is the actual experience?
Above we briefly introduced the actual fuel consumption of e-POWER Xuanyi, simply put, this car commutes in the daily urban area, the average fuel consumption level is within 5L/100km, even if it is driven fiercely, it is also in the early 5L, which is indeed more fuel-efficient than the fuel version of Xuanyi.
So the point is, what is the black technology of e-POWER power? In layman's terms, the e-POWER Xuanyi is a gasoline-electric hybrid (non-plug-in) model, and the Toyota Coronal Dual Engine and honda Lingpairui Hybrid belong to the same category. But the biggest difference between e-POWER Xuanyi is that it can achieve a full-time electric drive, which is purely electric in any working condition, and the internal combustion engine only powers the motor and battery.
Speaking of this, many friends may ask, isn't this the power of the extender? In fact, no, first of all, the range extender model can be plugged in and equipped with a large capacity battery. E-POWER Xuanyi is a hybrid system composed of 1.2L internal combustion engine, generator, 100 kilowatt drive motor, ternary lithium battery pack and other components.
Among them, the battery pack equipped with e-POWER Xuanyi has the characteristics of flash charge and flash release, in short, it can be quickly fully charged, and it can also burst into power in an instant to supply energy for the drive motor. Therefore, e-POWER Xuanyi does not need to be equipped with a large-capacity battery, and it does not need to be plugged in to supplement the electrical energy. Under the efficient three-electric system, whether it is an internal combustion engine or a drive motor, the efficiency of eating less and running more can be achieved.
This is the key to e-POWER Xuanyi's ability to achieve low fuel consumption, because the entire hybrid system is efficient, so the internal combustion engine is basically in the best fuel condition, and the internal combustion engine does not need to use high energy consumption in exchange for power. It is worth mentioning that the peak torque of e-POWER Xuanyi has reached 300 Nm, even if it starts, it can achieve the best power performance, which is the same as the nature of pure electric vehicles.
According to official data, e-POWER Xuanyi accelerated from rest to 50km/h, only 3.8 seconds, the key is that the whole process is very smooth, there is no sign of power attenuation. You know, this speed range is the most driven condition in our usual urban area. Especially lane change, overtaking or something, one foot on the accelerator down, can be described as one go, there will be no "hesitation" of fuel vehicles.
Ah Chuan commented on the car
The emergence of e-POWER Xuanyi, I think, is an extension of the comfort of Xuanyi models. Because the comfort of Xuanyi itself is very good, whether it is space or seats and chassis, and after adding e-POWER power, its driving quietness is better, smoothness is more, the response is faster, even if it encounters congested road sections, it can also ensure low fuel consumption.
Therefore, for the evaluation of e-POWER Xuanyi, I don't want to say too much, if the fuel version of Xuanyi is 85 points level, then the power upgrade of e-POWER Xuanyi can reach the level of 90 points. Of course, the premise is that the purchase cost of e-POWER Xuanyi is higher. And the cost of going out, you don't expect to "earn back" by saving fuel, the unique driving experience (full-time electric drive) is the essence of e-POWER Xuanyi.
