Fuel consumption test
The fuel consumption test is divided into two road conditions: urban and high-speed. In the urban road condition test, the vehicle fuel is first full, adjusted to the economic mode and the air conditioner is adjusted to a fixed temperature and blowing, and the energy recovery level is set at the standard, at which time the meter range goes directly to 1000km. The test is 124.2km, the average speed is 28km/h, the apparent fuel consumption is 5.3L/100km, and the second refueling volume is 7.24L, which translates to the urban fuel consumption test score of 5.8L/100km.
Then the same test conditions for high-speed fuel consumption test, the test mileage of 107.4km, the average speed of 90km/h, the average fuel consumption of 6L/100km, the second refueling volume of 6.9L, converted to the high-speed test fuel consumption score of 6.4L/100km. Since there are not many opportunities for energy recovery for high-speed driving, high-speed fuel consumption will be lower than that of urban road conditions, but the overall fuel consumption is also within a reasonable range.
A brief description of the working principle of latte DHT hybrid
The working modes of latte DHT hybrid are pure electric EV mode, series mode, parallel mode and brake energy recovery mode. In the case of sufficient power, the starting and low-speed driving are mainly driven by the motor. Series mode is suitable for most urban conditions, the motor directly drives the wheels, the engine is only used as a generator to generate electricity, always maintained at the best efficiency working condition point; high-speed cruise, the engine can run in economic conditions, so the use of direct drive mode to avoid the loss of oil and electricity conversion; finally if the strongest power is really needed, the engine through the two-speed reducer and the motor to cooperate with the force at the same time, drive the wheel together, into parallel mode.
In fact, it is a bit similar to the Honda i-MMD system, most of the time it is driven by the motor, to the high speed is the gasoline engine direct drive, but because the latte DHT is equipped with a two-speed DHT transmission, so the theory it can allow the engine to participate in the speed range of the drive, because sometimes the hybrid is not only electricity is fuel-efficient, but also in the efficient range to let the engine directly participate in the efficiency is the highest, the blunt point is that the gasoline engine and the power motor are mixed, using their respective physical advantages to fill the gap for each other. In addition, the latte uses a 1.5T engine, and the horsepower parameters are not low, so driving at high speed will be more powerful than the general hybrid model.

If any friend wants to know more about how this DHT hybrid is so fuel-efficient? Our colleagues have done a hard-core detailed explanation for everyone early, and it is recommended that interested partners can click on the picture below to understand in advance.
Latte DHT
There are three driving modes, economy, snow and sport. For everyday driving, the economy model is enough, there is no fatigue and at the same time, it can maximize fuel economy. If you set to the sport mode, the power response can feel faster, but there is still a distance away from the obvious push back feeling brought by the strong acceleration of the tram. In addition, the latte DHT has a three-speed energy recovery level, if adjusted to the strongest, you can feel the drag of energy recovery, but it has little impact on the driving texture.
0-100km/h 100km acceleration test
During the test, the vehicle was fully charged, the driving mode was adjusted to sport, and the wheels slipped slightly when starting at full strength, and it is worth noting that the latte DHT model only had a front drive. When accelerating at full strength, you can feel the acceleration performance of the whole car on the outside, but you can feel the rapid acceleration experience of the EV model at the moment of starting, and then it becomes linear.
In terms of NVH, the latte DHT has put a lot of effort into equipping ANC active noise reduction technology, double-layer soundproof glass, cab sealing design and Michelin PRIMACY 4 tires with a mainly silent sound. Therefore, daily driving not only has the performance of no noise like a tram, nor is the engine intervention noise too loud like some hybrid models, but more importantly, due to the two-speed design of DHT, the engine can run at a lower speed when driving at high speed, unlike some brands of engines that emit a "champion sound" in this range.
In terms of vibration filtering, the latte DHT tuning is biased towards comfort, and the suspension is thoroughly filtered for daily vibration filtering. If you are a friend who likes to handle, you can consider an optional electromagnetic vibration damping system that can make the body suspension more resilient and the lateral support will become better when extreme handling. In addition, the steering wheel of latte DHT has three kinds of feedback force adjustable, but even if it is adjusted to the movement, it only helps to be slightly heavier, and it is still light overall.
100-0km/h brake test
When braking at full strength, although there is a certain degree of "nod" from the outside of the car, sitting in the car can feel that the braking distance is not long, giving people sufficient braking confidence, and the final measured 37.72 meters is a satisfactory answer.
180,000 can enjoy the luxury texture and intelligent configuration that is better than the popular joint venture?
Full text summary: Latte DHT's hybrid system performs well in terms of fuel consumption, and through the two-speed transmission and the 1.5T engine with large horsepower, it is proposed to make up for some problems such as lack of power and noise in some hybrid models at high speeds. Secondly, its own product strength is also good, especially in the intelligent configuration of this piece to win the joint venture competitors, so there are considered Shuangtian hybrid SUV friends, may wish to take a look at this latte DHT, the price is much cheaper than them.
