In the past two years, the global new energy automobile industry has ushered in a spurt of rapid development, and a large number of novel related technologies have continuously refreshed the height of the industry while raising the threshold of competition in the industry, and of course, it has greatly enriched consumers' car purchase choices.
This year, many independent brands and joint venture brands have landed their own new energy strategic models, among which Dongfeng Nissan released Xuanyi e-POWER equipped with Nissan range extender hybrid technology, and BYD brought Qin PLUS DM-i on the PHEV plug-in hybrid route.
★ Than the appearance: Xuanyi e-POWER looks younger, Qin PLUSDM-i "national flavor" is stronger
As a strategic model that only upgrades the intelligent car machine and core power, the vehicle shape of Xuanyi e-POWER continues the design concept of the 14th generation of Dongfeng Nissan Xuanyi, the front face V-motion concept still brings strong recognition to the new car, and the new paint color matching further indicates the special identity of the new car different from the fuel version.
On the side and rear of the body, you can also clearly see that Xuanyi e-POWER is also equipped with a special model logo in the details of C-pillar and tail marker to form identity, and the dynamic body lines show That Xuanyi has a very strong fashion atmosphere and sports atmosphere after the replacement, and the youthful shape can indeed attract a large number of young people's attention.
In contrast, BYD Qin PLUS DM-i, the iconic Dragonface family dragon face design has been further upgraded, the large size of the front grille is covered with a large number of matrix plastic chrome trim, a wide matte decorative strip in the connection of the two sides of the headlights at the same time also for the cover and the middle net play a visual transition role, the overall sense of fashion is stronger.
Also on the side and rear of the body, BYD Qin PLUS DM-i's sporting details have a slight advantage over Xuanyi e-POWER, such as the small ducktail with a sharp tail at the tail, sports-shaped wheels, through-the taillights and a slightly sneaky roof, the two models are equally divided in appearance, but Qin PLUS wins in highlighting the sense of sport.
★ Than the interior: Xuanyi e-POWER workmanship fine, Qin PLUSDM-i technology sense foot
Coming to the car, you can see that the cockpit layout style and design concept of Xuanyi e-POWER also follow the current fuel version of the family model on sale, but the difference is that the new car has upgraded the size of the suspension central control screen, and adjusted and optimized the car machine function that has been complained about by Xuanyi users, in addition to the steering wheel, center console and door panel are also equipped with leather and soft materials, and the diamond-shaped stitch seat further emphasizes the material sincerity of this compact family car trump card.
For BYD, the emergence of adaptive rotatable large screens has always been the best proof of the sense of cockpit technology, in addition to Qin PLUS DM-i has also replaced a large number of interior styles consistent with the "big brother" Han series, leather steering wheel, 12.8-inch central control screen and full LCD dashboard still point out the sincerity of independent brands in the scientific and technological atmosphere.
★ Than space and comfort: Qin PLUSDM-i wins in the sense of space, Xuanyi e-POWER comfort wins
From the data point of view, BYD Qin PLUS DM-i family of the entire family of length, width and height are 4765mm / 1837mm / 1495mm, the wheelbase reached 2718mm, compared with the sales of "evergreen" endorsement of Xuanyi e-POWER, this autonomous model in the size data to achieve a full range of suppression, data difference advantage makes the second row of Qin PLUS DM-i seats more spatial sense, combined with the lower sitting seat layout, the rear passenger's head and leg space is more guaranteed, This is a relatively rare occurrence in compact cars and deserves praise.
Under the reputation of "Nissan big sofa", the Xuanyi series has naturally become the most comfortable model in the compact family car market. Although the size data is not as good as BYD Qin PLUS DM-i, the ride comfort of Xuanyi e-POWER is still particularly eye-catching under the combination of soft front and rear seat padding and leather materials that highlight the texture.
★ Than the configuration: budget 150,000 yuan, Qin PLUSDM-i is more sincere than Xuanyi e-POWER
In order to make an intuitive and fair comparison, this time we have selected two models with similar manufacturer guidance prices, namely the Xuanyi e-POWER Super Zhilian PLUS Version priced at 149,900 yuan, and the Qin PLUS DM-i 120KM flagship version priced at 145,800 yuan.
In terms of highlight configuration, Qin PLUS DM-i provides consumers with very familiar parallel assist, lane departure warning system, lane keeping assist system, active braking and wireless charging of front mobile phones, etc., and equipped with novice favorite front and rear parking radar, 360-degree panoramic images, and even in the joint venture high-end model only appeared in the reversing side warning system, and Xuanyi e-POWER In addition to not providing a more practical reversing radar, the front seats are only manually adjusted, and the second row seats do not provide proportional reclining This is especially important for users who are focused on practical foundations.
★ Specific power: Qin PLUSDM-i has strong endurance, and Xuanyi e-POWER pays attention to energy consumption
As the latest large-scale mass production of the three Japanese new energy joint venture models in China, the Xuanyi e-POWER is fundamentally different from honda's second-generation i-MMD and Toyota THS-II hybrid systems in terms of technology route choice.
Nissan e-POWER's three-electric core is composed of a 1.2L three-cylinder self-priming engine + generator + drive motor, in which the engine only appears as a range extender and does not directly intervene in the drive, according to the vehicle working conditions, directly drive the drive motor or store it in the battery as a reserve, in other words, Xuanyi e-POWER is an electric vehicle that does not need to be charged.
Although the range extender hybrid technology has been abandoned by many Japanese car companies, at present, the only way to effectively solve the endurance of new energy vehicles is PHEV plug-in hybrid and extended range hybrid, so this is also BYD's important original intention to launch a super hybrid DM-i technology model this year, so from the comparison of the power parameters of these two models, it can be seen that Qin PLUS DM-i has more confidence in endurance, and Xuanyi e-POWER solves the problem of energy consumption and driving texture.
Conclusion: From the perspective of new energy technology, these two products have their own characteristics and advantages, from the end consumer car purchase price, configuration and space and other just need to say, the pricing advantage of Qin PLUS DM-i is obviously more eye-catching, and Xuanyi e-POWER thanks to the crown halo, its product attractiveness is more obvious, so for users who have landed at about 150,000, Qin PLUS DM-i is worth recommending, consumers who pay attention to retention rate and brand influence, then the first Xuanyi e-POWER.
