From the earliest 5.9 seconds of zero hundred acceleration, equipped with the second generation of DM hybrid technology of Qin DM, to the later Qin Pro, Qin PLUS... Xiaobian has the honor to experience the transformation and growth of this legendary model one by one. Today, Qin PLUS DM-i, equipped with the fourth generation of hybrid technology- DM-i Super Hybrid, has once again given me a completely different look and feel...
This is the "Qin" with the most mature overall performance, the highest degree of perfection, and the most able to show the adjustment ability of international large car factories!
Refreshing, advanced and smooth
I still remember at the beginning of this year, when BYD released their DM-i super hybrid technology in Shenzhen, Xiaobian chatted with BYD's old friends at the press conference, and I remember him telling me a key point: "DM-i i is to represent wisdom, energy saving, high efficiency, it is to pursue the ultimate fuel consumption saving, so the power performance is not the theme of DM-i appeal.... ”
be! It is precisely because of this remark that Xiaobian did not intend to test its official zero hundred acceleration data in 7.3 seconds with the instrument to test the truth at the first time of test driving Qin PLUS DM-i, even though such acceleration performance has been on an equal footing with some 2.0T performance cars.... At the same time, I was also curious, how did the Qin DM that appealed for 5.9 seconds before no longer have it?
But after actually driving this Qin PLUS DM-i back and forth to Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Foshan, after about 500 kilometers of getting along, I was pleasantly surprised to find that Qin PLUS DM-i not only represents BYD's professionalism and maturity in hybrid technology, but also represents BYD's model that the brand's "Dynasty Series" relies on, its product tone, product force definition... All aspects are closely in line with the market trend!
Why? From the perspective of Qin PLUS DM-i's main power system, its Xiaoyun 1.5L engine is not traditionally defined as a drive belt from the outside, that is, it includes air conditioning compressors, generators, water pumps... These components are no longer driven by the output of the engine shaft, but are driven by the motor, reducing the workload of the engine.
The Snap cloud 1.5L engine has a compression ratio of up to 15.5:1, a thermal efficiency of 43.04%, and uses Atkinson cycle technology. Relatively speaking, its maximum output power of 81kW, maximum torque of 135N.m, the data is not very eye-catching, but in fact, under the cooperation of the EHS electromix system, the opportunity for the engine to be on the battlefield is not much - DM-i is a hybrid system that is highly close to pure electric drive, and the engine only works when charging the battery, and when it is connected with the motor transmission to output a stronger force!
The "electric door" under the foot is deeply stepped on to the end, the official 7.3 seconds of zero hundred acceleration force, and the Xiaobian official acceleration performance is almost the same as the 2.0T fuel vehicle is completely different, that is, the motor motor has a sense of starting acceleration, and what impressed me is that Qin PLUS DM-i's acceleration linearity, exquisite sense is very good, it does not explode, does not make people's blood boil, but can consistently cooperate with the depth of the electric door under the foot, releasing the driver's mind can be expected to get the power.
Even when I need stronger acceleration in the process, I press the electric door pedal a little deeper, and then faintly hear the front engine start to run and intervene, and the power system can immediately give full re-acceleration power. I think this should be related to the motor with a flat configuration enameled wire winding in the EHS, the magnetic beam coil is tighter, it can create a maximum efficiency of 97.5%; with oil-cooled heat dissipation to avoid the increase in high temperature resistance, which further makes the power density of the motor reach 44.3kW/L, even if it is straight up to 16000rpm, there is a wider range of constant power output, improving the problem of power decline of many electric drives as soon as they reach high speed.
Such a linear and responsive and good sense of power, to be honest, I don't care whether Qin PLUS DM-i is faster than the early Zero Hundred can run 5.9 seconds of Qin DM, this car is driving up a refreshing, advanced, smooth sense, has long made me forget the data myth, for the fourth generation of DM-i tuning maturity thumbs up praise.
Three driving modes: sport, ordinary, economical, of which the interaction between the electric door pedal and the power in the "sport" mode is more radical, and the opportunity for the engine to intervene in the operation is relatively more; as for the "ordinary" mode, I actually think it is the best to use, to cope with normal driving conditions, the acceleration force feedback of the electric door pedal is the most coordinated match with the brake pedal stroke, and the acceleration and deceleration of the control vehicle is also the smoothest and smoothest. The "economy" mode of acceleration is the most responsive and prefers to drive the vehicle entirely from electric motors under sufficient electrical energy.
The oil gauge was honest
Speaking of Qin PLUS DM-i's main energy saving and fuel saving, I noticed that the fuel gauge and fuel gauge at both ends of the lower side of the instrument are actually not obvious in the long-distance driving process, and the power will always be maintained at about 25% to 30% under the "intelligent power retention" setting. Of course, you can also flexibly adjust the SOC power threshold to set the guarantee power of the battery by yourself, but I personally feel that the Qin PLUS DM-i EHS mixing system is actually smart enough, this kind of thing is left to it to deal with itself, and also take into account the fuel saving and power saving!
As for the decline of the fuel gauge, it is even slower, as mentioned above about 500km driving mileage, and finally only dropped about one block or so, that is, about 150 yuan of 92 gasoline. Looking at the statistics on the down-to-the-car computer, my average fuel consumption is 4.1L/100km, the average power consumption is 0.9kWh/100km, it seems that the official full fuel full power comprehensive cruising range of 1245km, loss of power fuel consumption of 3.8L/100km data is very valuable!
Hey! When I opened the charging port cover, I saw that the "fine tradition" of Qin PLUS DM-i can be a large charging treasure is still not lacking... The original car comes with a 220V power output row socket, and it can also start the engine to charge the vehicle's blade battery when the amount of power is set on the screen. Don't instigate, rush the draft! Turn on the computer!
Cross-stage chassis tuning style
Why I think Qin PLUS DM-i is the best "Qin" DM in history, in fact, it is related to its component counterweight, chassis, and suspension tuning! This generation of DM-i, whether it is a small Size Snapdragon 1.5L engine, or an EHS electromix system, has been the lightest and smallest in the history of DM development, so when driving, you can feel the front dynamics of the car is lighter than before, and the corners are more accurate, that is, if the steering wheel response can be set to a more sporty sense, it will be more collocated.
The blade battery is under the chassis of the car, which builds a good low center of gravity advantage, so although the suspension is set to be more comfortable, the body dynamics are still stable when cornering, giving me an easy to control the limits of the vehicle, and at the same time driving with some fun feeling.
Under "normal" driving conditions, in fact, the chassis of the Qin PLUS DM-i shows a comfortable, calm and smooth feeling, and matches the highly coordinated and reliable quality with the power system, which is the level of looking at a higher-grade car. In addition, I personally feel that the NVH of this car seems to have been improved and upgraded, and the overall quietness of the car is better than that of the previous model, especially the chassis noise is suppressed deeply!
Powerful, no need for complexity
Another one that has been with me the longest on this trip is the DiLink intelligent networking system configured by Qin PLUS DM-i, which is quite powerful, but in fact, whether it is used from the display interface of the central control screen or from the voice interaction of "Hello Xiaodi", you will feel that BYD Yu is powerful in the design skills of simplicity. Personally like this intelligent interface and functional configuration, it is to avoid the driver's driving distraction of the primary condition, further layered extension of the primary and secondary functions, the use of logic is very humane, clear, good!
The two-color interior is equipped with yellow stitching and piping, which adds a young atmosphere to the interior of the Qin PLUS DM-i car, looks like the front seat of the racing seat design, the actual ride is still more comfortable, and the rear seat space is also spacious and open, once again should be in line with what the editor said earlier... Qin PLUS DM-i has well grasped the trend of the consumer market and consumer preferences, and most people feel fragrant when most people see such a car style!
At present, BYD is rushing to produce for vehicles, and it is busy with delivery time, of which Qin PLUS DM-i is the most sought-after product. After getting along with this car, I finally know why it is so popular with consumers - the beautiful dragon appearance, the spacious and comfortable interior layout, the driving sensation with a high-end car, and most importantly... Super fuel-efficient, green card, no electric vehicle mileage anxiety, the right price, this is the practical car that most consumers need!
As for zero hundred acceleration of 5.9 seconds, don't forget that BYD has other cars that can easily do it, and even has a DM-p super hybrid technology that appeals to strong power. Is it still difficult to want a BYD car with a strong performance attribute?
Come all come, don't you like it?
