In recent years, the compact SUV of Chinese brands has risen rapidly in the passenger car market, and has been recognized by consumers with high cost performance, but the relatively large fuel consumption has always been the pain point of Chinese brand SUVs, so major domestic manufacturers have also strived to break through and develop hybrid models.
