In the 2021 annual hot plug-in hybrid (including range extender) model selection, the ideal ONE is absolutely well-deserved, and can sell more than 13,000 units in a single month at a starting price of 338,000 yuan, which is enough to prove the success of its product and market positioning.
There are many reasons for success, in addition to its own interior design, seat layout, model positioning, etc., its super practical pure electric mileage is also indispensable, compared to many plug-in hybrid (extender) competitor models including BYD, the ideal ONE working condition WLTC has a range of 155 kilometers, corresponding to a large battery pack of 40.5 kWh, which is basically equivalent to if your weekday commuting distance is about 10 kilometers, even if there is no installation condition of the household charging pile, with public fast charging, you can also charge more than once a week.
In other words, buying an ideal ONE is to truly realize the original intention of the invention of plugging in the mix (extender), that is, using electricity in the city, using oil for long-distance travel, and also saving fuel.
In contrast, the current so-called PHEV plug-in hybrid models, including BYD's current DM-i models on sale, if there is no home charging conditions, the poor pure electric mileage does not support most people to achieve the theoretical "city electric driving" pleasure.
And this embarrassment, BYD is also in the eyes. Recently, there are relevant channels on the Internet exposed the long-endurance version of the DM-i new model planning table, Tang / Han two flagship models will be in the first half of this year mayor of the endurance version of the DM-i hybrid model, especially the Tang DM-i long-endurance version, will directly challenge the ideal ONE.
First of all, the endurance advantage, according to the exposed table, the long-lasting single motor version of the Tang DM-i will be equipped with a 45.8 kWh battery pack, which is larger than the ideal ONE's 40.5 kWh, and with the blessing of BYD's more efficient motor, its NEDC pure electric cruising range can reach 252 kilometers, longer than the ideal ONE.
The fuel consumption of feeders is equally low, requiring only 5.6 litres per 100 km/ 100.
Even the dual-motor four-wheel drive version of the Tang DM-i consistent with the ideal ONE has a long endurance, the ability is just as amazing, or a 45.8 kWh battery pack, pure electric NEDC endurance of 215 km, zero hundred acceleration of 6.5 seconds, feed fuel consumption of 100 km 6.5 liters.
Each piece of data is stronger than the ideal ONE.
In addition to endurance, fuel consumption and acceleration results, Tang DM-i long endurance also has NVH advantages, unlike the ideal ONE small horse-drawn cart 1.2T three-cylinder range extender, Tang DM-i uses Xiaoyun 1.5T four-cylinder, dedicated hybrid engine, performance and thermal efficiency are high, not to mention, the power generation efficiency and NVH performance when feeding power alone are completely better than small displacement three-cylinder machines.
At the same time, ideal ONE has always been proud of its independent 6-seat layout, automatic assisted driving, large screen with intelligent network connection and other capabilities, Tang DM-i also has all.
Coupled with the current expected long-endurance four-wheel drive version of the Tang DM-i price, it will certainly not be higher than the ideal ONE, and the two-wheel drive version is more cost-effective.
So, who do you like more?
