At a time when every house is mainly promoting electrification, when pure electric vehicles cannot meet the needs of everyone's car for the time being, hybrid power becomes a good solution. Nowadays, all domestic brands have launched corresponding products, such as BYD DM-i, Changan's Blue Whale iDD, Great Wall's Lemon Blend, etc. Recently, Geely also officially launched the Thunder God Intelligence Engine Hi · X Hybrid System.
Ray's Mind Hi · The X-Hybrid is a branch of Thor Power within the Geely 4.0 program, and the entire set of power includes a conventional internal combustion engine as well as pure electric drive.
Compared with the fuel power and pure electric platform that has been laid out before. This time Thor's Mind Hero Hi · X is naturally the focus, this set of hybrids can support HEV oil-electric hybrid, PHEV plug-in hybrid, REEV extender hybrid, basically covering all the hybrid types we are familiar with on the market, which is also the meaning of "X".
In terms of power system composition, it is equipped with a hybrid-specific 1.5T three-cylinder engine with a maximum power of 110kW and a peak torque of 225Nm, using a series of current mainstream technologies, including Miller cycle, EGR exhaust gas recirculation, 350bar in-cylinder direct injection, 13:1 high compression ratio, etc. And under these technology stacks, the thermal efficiency of the engine comes to 43.32%, what is this level? The 1.5T plug-in hybrid engine on BYD's DM-i has a thermal efficiency of 40%.
In addition to the engine, the DHT Pro structure is also an indispensable and key part of the complete hybrid system. According to the information released, the principle of this system is relatively close to that of the Honda i-MMD, which is divided into pure electric drive and engine direct drive.
The advantage of DHT hybrid is that the manufacturing threshold is relatively low, the basic principle is relatively simple compared to toyota THS hybrid, and has stronger flexibility, such as the power battery can be transformed into plug-in hybrid, cancel the engine direct drive can become a range extender hybrid.
However, Geely has improved this structure by adding a three-speed gearbox with a planetary gear structure. Its role is to match the best power in different working conditions, such as a fast start in the first gear, a second gear can be used to accelerate, and the third gear can keep the engine in the optimal energy consumption range when cruising at high speed. Officials said that when the speed reaches 20km/h, a gear can intervene in the work, and the engine will participate in the power output link, which can release up to 60% of the power. In contrast, the Honda i-MMD hybrid requires a speed range of more than 70-80km/h to achieve direct drive.
Of course, for consumers, the result is the most important, after all, most people do not understand the structure of your system and the logic of work. A few days ago, the first model was equipped with the Thunder God Intelligence Engine Hi · The X hybrid model Star-More L officially opened pre-sale at a price of 173,700 yuan. According to official data, Hoshikoshi L Thunder God Intelligence Engine Hi · The maximum endurance of X in the state of full power and full fuel can exceed 1300 km, and the acceleration time of 100 km is 7.9 seconds. Looking at this endurance performance alone, its performance has been better than most hybrid systems on the market, including the BYD DM-i, which has recently been highly talked about.
If there is an advantage, Ray's mind is hi · The biggest highlight of X is the long cruising range, which is definitely very attractive to consumers who pursue extreme energy consumption. But the question is, when everyone can achieve a level of more than 1000km, is this perception not so obvious?
In terms of disadvantages, the first is the addition of a three-speed gearbox with planetary gears, so the cost will definitely be higher, and the corresponding price will be higher. Secondly, Hoshikoshi L Thunder Divine Intelligence Hi · X is still a HEV oil-electric hybrid, and cannot enjoy the new energy policy, which means that it cannot enter the first- and second-tier cities with particularly high demand for new energy vehicles.
summary
Judging from the information currently released, this set of thunder gods and minds Hi · X hybrid or has a certain surprise, whether it is fuel consumption or performance to reach the first echelon, as for the use of experience, but also need to go through a test drive to understand.
