Pure electric vehicles still have endurance anxiety at present, the actual endurance of the vehicle is not satisfactory, and the convenience and speed of the supplement are not powerful. Therefore, plug-in hybrid models (PHEV) have a certain market demand.
Plug-in hybrid cars can travel a certain distance with pure electricity to meet daily short-distance commuting, while if you want to run long distances, you can refuel, so there is no endurance anxiety. And most plug-in hybrid models will have low fuel consumption even when fed.
BYD's DMi models can be considered as a kind of plug-in hybrid, and other brands also have corresponding plug-in hybrid technology, but there are relatively few plug-in hybrid MPV models. Geely's home MPV model Jiaji has a plug-in hybrid version, and a new model has just recently been released.

The power system of the 2022 Jiaji PHEV has changed greatly compared with the old model, the capacity of the battery pack has increased to 15.5 kWh, and the NEDC pure electric endurance has reached 82 kilometers, if it is only a daily commute, it can be completely driven with pure electricity without burning oil, and it can be charged once in 2-3 days.
The complete plug-in hybrid system also includes a 1.5T three-cylinder engine and a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission dedicated to hybridization, the maximum power of the whole system is 190kW, the maximum torque is 415Nm, and the power performance exceeds that of the 2.0T engine with the support of the motor.
The 2022 Jiaji PHEV has a total of three models in the whole series, the guidance price is 145,800-16.88 million yuan, the license is exempt from purchase tax, plus the license fee and insurance can be landed.
In terms of configuration, the minimum model has 4 airbags, reversing image, cruise control, panoramic sunroof, keyless entry, automatic headlights, automatic air conditioning, but the two seats in the front row are manually adjusted.
