In order to further reduce the average energy consumption and pure electric endurance, more and more PHEV plug-in hybrid models will make the battery pack as large as possible. From 20kWh, 30kWh, and then to today's test drive of the Mocha DHT-PHEV, it will increase the total energy of the battery pack to 39.67kWh, approaching the amplifier that pays more attention to pure electric drive capabilities to represent the ideal ONE.

And not only pure electric endurance is more sufficient, Mocha DHT-PHEV is also the first plug-in hybrid model equipped with 1.5T + front and rear dual motors in the Great Wall car series, with a total power of 265kW of dual motors, a comprehensive power of up to 355kW, a maximum torque of 762N·m, and only 4.8 seconds to break the hundred, absolutely full of power!

Faster, quieter, more leftover

It can be easily seen from the name that the power system of Mocha DHT-PHEV also belongs to the lemon intelligent DHT technology route. The difference is that compared with the HEV hybrid system such as Macchido and Mocha DHT that we have experienced before, the plug-in hybrid system of Mocha DHT-PHEV is the technical benchmark of the current intelligent DHT, and the levels have almost reached the ceiling.

The high-end model of Mocha DHT-PHEV adopts high-performance electric four-wheel drive, and the power system consists of a 1.5T direct injection turbocharged engine + 130kW high-integrated DHT electric drive transmission + 135kW high-performance electric rear drive axle + 39.67kWh high-energy battery pack. The two-wheel drive version eliminated the electric rear drive axle, sacrificing some performance while achieving greater range and lower fuel consumption. The previous DHT hybrid HEV series models have four major selling points of "fast, smooth, quiet and provincial", while the MOCHA DHT-PHEV has a more obvious improvement in the three points of "fast, quiet and provincial".

The first is fast, and it is mentioned at the beginning that the mocha DHT-PHEV's system has a combined power of up to 355 kW and a maximum torque of 762N·m, and thanks to the layout of the front and rear dual motors, it forms a faster response electric four-wheel drive system. At the full power output of hybrid mode, the official new car accelerates to break through the hundred time only 4.8 seconds.

The speed of the new car refers not only to absolute power, but also to the same briskness of electricity and oil. In the pure electric drive mode, the Mocha DHT-PHEV accelerates silky smoothly under the blessing of dual motors, and the total power of the motor of 265kW is very handy to cope with the starting overtaking of the city, and the driving experience is no different from that of the general pure electric vehicle.

Under full power conditions, the MOCHA DHT-PHEV can be driven with pure electricity in the speed range of 0-150km/h. Moreover, there are two speed ratios in the lemon DHT hybrid electric drive transmission, and the power consumption will be relatively lower under high-speed driving conditions.

In hybrid mode, the 1.5T direct injection turbocharged engine will intervene in a timely manner according to the throttle opening, power situation and other factors. In addition to electric drive, tandem drive of engines and motors, engine power direct drive (high speed ratio gear set), engine economic direct drive (low speed ratio gear set) and full load parallel mode are also available.

Due to the higher power of the engine, the power reserve is more abundant in extreme conditions such as floor oil and high-speed overtaking, and the noise of the engine is much smaller.

As for feed mode, the Mocha DHT-PHEV doesn't seem to allow the battery to run out. The battery reserve can be set in the vehicle central control system, ranging from 30-80%, so the engine will be forced to intervene when the power is less than 30%, so that the power level can always ensure the healthy output of the motor.

Of course, at 30% of the power, because the engine is more charged for the battery, the absolute power will decrease, but the difference in body feeling is not obvious. In terms of fuel consumption, the fuel consumption of the new car is 6.3L/100km (5.5L/100km for the two-wheel drive model).

Both the "quiet and the economic" are due to the larger battery and the high-power motor, both of which make the MOCHA DHT-PHEV more willing to drive with pure electric drive in more operating conditions. The high-frequency noise suppression of the motor of the new car is very excellent, and with the advanced material technology and excellent sound insulation design of the whole vehicle, the NVH performance within the legal speed is impeccable, in line with the positioning of its high-end models.

The 39.67kWh battery pack can support the MOCHA DHT-PHEV four-wheel drive version to travel 175km in pure electric mode (204km pure electric endurance of the two-wheel drive version), and the pure electric endurance of the ideal one is 180km, which is very close. In addition, the battery pack of the new car is placed flat on the chassis like a pure electric vehicle, and does not affect the storage space of the trunk.

The most direct advantage of pure electricity as a driving force is that the cost is lower, the mileage of 175km is enough to cover the long-distance commuting of most large cities, as long as the home charging is convenient, this car can truly achieve the ideal PHEV car environment for daily electricity and long-distance oil.

Speaking of charging, the Mocha DHT-PHEV also provides two charging modes of DC fast charging and AC slow charging after being equipped with a high-energy battery pack. With a DC fast charge of up to 60kW, the new car's 10-80% SOC charging time is only 35 minutes, and it supports 3.3kW external discharge function.

Finally, in terms of intelligence, Mocha DHT-PHEV has a very mainstream performance. In terms of hardware, it includes 28 sensors composed of Mobile EyeQ4H chip and 5 millimeter wave radar, a perception camera and a set of high-precision map modules, which further realize the NOH intelligent pilot assistance driving system on the basis of L2 driver assistance functions, with intelligent access ramps, avoidance sink entrances, lane change protection, avoidance of large vehicles and other functions.

However, since this test drive is mainly based on the venue, these functions have not yet been actually experienced.
