In 2021, because of the hot sales of BYD DM-i models, the originally unpromising plug-in hybrid has suddenly become a fragrant feast, and there are already Changan, Great Wall, Geely, and Chery layouts, and a large wave of plug-in hybrid new cars will be listed in 2022.
Changan UNI-K iDD
Changan UNI-K iDD will open pre-sale on January 6, which is equipped with a Blue Whale iDD hybrid system consisting of a 1.5T engine + motor. Among them, the maximum power of the engine is 125kW, the maximum power of the motor is 85kW, and it is equipped with a 30.7kWh battery pack, the pure electric mileage is 130km, and it supports three charging methods of 220V home charging and AC-DC dual fast charging.

In terms of fuel consumption, according to official data, the comprehensive fuel consumption of NEDC is 0.8L/100km, and the fuel consumption of power loss is 5L/100km, which is indeed much lower than the fuel version. And in the case of full fuel and full electricity, the comprehensive endurance can reach 1100km, and there is no mileage anxiety of pure trams.
In terms of driving mode, Changan UNI-K iDD has HEV (hybrid), EV (pure electricity) and i-X (personalized) three driving modes, of which in i-X mode, it can also be subdivided into a variety of driving scenarios such as surging power, long endurance, camping mode, etc. Through the adjustment of power style, ability recovery and other functions, the driving experience that suits its own conditions is obtained.
The biggest feature of changan UNI-K iDD this hybrid system is that when power is needed, it can only step on the throttle engine in a very timely manner to drive, so as to obtain more excellent acceleration performance.
In terms of appearance and interior design, the Changan UNI-K iDD is not much different from the fuel version, but in some details highlights that this is a plug-in hybrid.
Mocha DHT-PHEV
The MOCHA DHT-PHEV will be available as soon as mid-January, and it is also not much different from the fuel version in appearance, and can only be distinguished from the tail label. In the powertrain, the Mocha DHT-PHEV consists of a 1.5T engine + 130kW front drive motor + 135kW rear drive motor + 39.67 kWh high energy density battery pack.
In the hybrid mode, the Mocha DHT-PHEV adopts a hybrid hybrid structure, mainly driven by the motor, but the engine can also drive the vehicle directly at the right time, and at the same time cooperate with the high and low two-speed transmission, so as to better balance the power performance and fuel economy.
According to official data, the fuel consumption of the 100 km feeder fuel of the MOCHA DHT-PHEV model is as low as 5.55L; the high-performance electric four-wheel drive model has an acceleration time of 0-100km/h of 4.8s, and the fuel consumption of the WLTC 100km feeder is only 6.3L.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that the mocha DHT-PHEV two-wheel drive model WLTC pure electric endurance can reach 204km, to know that the current mainstream plug-in hybrid model pure electric mileage is in the early 100km, which means that the pure electric endurance of the Mocha DHT-PHEV has completely broken through the bottleneck of commuting to work. Moreover, the Mocha DHT-PHEV also supports up to 60kW DC fast charging, the power from 10% fast charging to 80%, only 35 minutes, which means that in the case of conditions allowing, it is no problem to drive it as a pure tram.
Hoshikoshi L Thor Hi · X oil-electric hybrid version
As Gilly Ray Divine Intelligence Hi · The first model of the X hybrid platform, the Hoshigoku L Thor Hi · The X oil-electric hybrid version opened a limited pre-sale a few years ago, and the 2022 new cars were sold out in only 8 minutes and 21 seconds.
Hoshikoshi L Thor Hi · The core of the hybrid system of X oil-electric hybrid version is that it is equipped with the world's first production 3-speed hybrid electric drive transmission DHT Pro. It is not only a transmission in the traditional sense, but also a power drive device that can independently participate in the electric drive, and also the intelligent energy control hub of the entire hybrid system, which can realize the powerful functions of pure motor drive, oil-electric hybrid drive, intelligent power generation, intelligent energy distribution and 3-speed speed increase, and the power and fuel will be "lossless" high-quality output.
Paired with this hybrid system is the Geely DHE15 hybrid engine, with a comprehensive power of 180kW and a comprehensive torque of 540N·m. The maximum mileage in the full oil state can reach 1300 kilometers, and the average fuel consumption of 100 kilometers is as low as 4.3L. While saving fuel, Hoshikoshi L Thor Hi · The X-100-00-speed cycle can be as low as 7.9s.
In simple terms, when the vehicle is at a speed of less than 20km/h, the road is congested, and the stop-and-go is frequent, the vehicle can be completely pure electric. When it is necessary to increase the power, the 3rd gear DHT Pro can be slid through the clutch, matching the 1st gear speed ratio, achieving a catapult start, and the starting acceleration ability is increased by 50%.
BYD Song MAX DM-i
The former BYD Song MAX set off a wave of home MPV fever with its outstanding appearance, and now the DM-i system is finally going to be installed on this home MPV. It is understood that the new car will open pre-sale in January and be listed within 1 quarter.
Song MAX DM-i will adopt a DM-i plug-in hybrid system composed of 1.5L engine + motor, and the motor is divided into two versions of high and low power, of which the maximum power of the low power version is 132kW, and the peak torque is 316N.m; The high-power version has a maximum power of 145 kW and a peak torque of 325 N.m.
Models equipped with DM-i super hybrid system have the characteristics of electricity-based and engine-supplemented, Song MAX DM-i is no exception, most of the working conditions are mainly driven by motors, so its comprehensive fuel consumption can be as low as 0.9L/100km, and 4.4L/100km at a loss.
Compared with the existing model, a very obvious change in the appearance of the Song MAX DM-i is the addition of the "upgraded roof" model. From a distance, it looks a bit like the roof trunk, but it is not, after carrying the "upgraded roof", the height of the car can reach 1880mm, and it will be more convenient to enter and exit the third row, if it is a child walking upright in the car, there is no problem.
Red Dot Car Review
With more and more car companies in the plug-in hybrid technology investment, you will find more and more advantages of plug-in hybrid models, in addition to being able to be on the green card free of purchase tax, pure electric endurance is getting longer and longer, short-distance electricity, long-distance oil, while reducing the cost of the car, there is no need to worry about endurance; power performance is getting stronger and stronger, making up for the shortcomings of the fuel engine low torque output slow, starting, speeding up comparable to pure electricity. It can be said that the advantages of fuel vehicles and pure trams are combined, so in 2022, will you consider starting a plug-in hybrid car?
