With the advent of automobile electrification and intelligence, automobile manufacturers have set off a new round of technological revolution. Before the endurance and charging infrastructure of pure electric vehicles were not improved, hybrid power was regarded as the most technical way to solve consumer pain points.
In 2022, the "Year of Hybridization" kicked off. In fact, this war without smoke of gunfire has been fought since 2021. On January 11, 2021, BYD took the lead in launching the DM-i super hybrid, emerging as a disruptor of fuel vehicles, and this technology became an important support for BYD's annual sales of 730,000 units in 2021, an increase of 75% year-on-year. At the same time, with the Great Wall Lemon Hybrid DHT, Geely Ray Divine Intelligence Hi · Chinese brands, represented by X and Changan Blue Whale iDD System, have launched their own hybrid systems and new products equipped with this technology in 2021.
As a high-end brand of Chery Automobile, Xingtu has also achieved good results in 2021. Looking forward to 2022, Xingtu is once again innovating and changing, joining a new competitive track with the new Star Core PowerED ET-i full-engine supermix technology. This hybrid system, called ET-i, means EXEED/Electric Technology Intelligent, which is the New Energy Intelligent Hybrid Technology of Xingtu brand.
As netizens hope: "Xingtu can no longer produce new products step by step." EXEED Xingtu is meant to surpass, as a member of the latest addition to the plug-and-mix system "mix-and-match", how does xingtu's "plug-and-mix" achieve transcendence?
According to the official news of Xingtu, this set of star core power ET-i full engine supermix technology combines the advantages of DHT, panoramic drive, high transmission efficiency, super endurance and so on.
In a nutshell, Xingtu's "Star Core PowerED ET-i Full Engine Supermix" system can be boiled down to a string of numbers: 33911.
The first 3 refers to "3 engines". It means that the power architecture consists of an intelligent combination of 1 internal combustion engine and 2 motors. Among them, 1 internal combustion engine includes 1.5T, 1.5TGDI and 2.0TGDI three hybrid special engines, 1.5T hybrid special engine, can produce 115kW of power and up to 230N .m of torque, mainly installed in the Xingtu compact car, the current first model is the Xingtu Wind Chasing SUV; and the 1.5TGDI and 2.0TGDI two engines are more efficient, more powerful, suitable for medium and medium and large vehicles.
Both motors are integrated into the DHT chamber and can reach 55kW/160N.m and 70kW/155N .m respectively. Compared with the hybrid technology currently available, both motors can participate in the drive and have a power ratio of up to 6.0kW/kg, making this "3-engine" power set stand out from the crowd.
The second 3 refers to the "3rd gear". Just the so-called extremely high gear, slay full field. It is the hybrid technology with the most current physical gears, and can handle more and more complex conditions.
The number 9 represents that the system can cover 9 drive modes: single motor pure electric, dual motor pure electric, engine direct drive, parallel drive, parking charging, driving charging and so on. It is worth mentioning that these 9 drive modes can be automatically intelligently switched to adapt to different road conditions and scenarios, without any operation of the driver, all completed by the system itself.
The number 11 represents 11 commonly used work scenarios: starting, low- and medium-speed, elevated, overtaking, red lights, congestion, highways, long-distance travel, mountain trails, high-speed steering, ice/mud/sand. These 11 scenarios basically cover all driving scenarios that users may encounter, including urban commuting, long-distance travel, extreme road conditions, etc., and can achieve a perfect balance between power and energy consumption.
DHT is an abbreviation for Dedicated Hybrid Transmissions, the industry's earliest hybrid system from Toyota, toyota's THS hybrid system has evolved to the fourth generation of technology. Both the Toyota DHS and the Honda iMMD are represented by the existence of the traditional gearbox and the engine independently of each other. The DHT hybrid system launched by Chinese brands represented by Chery and so on is obviously more advanced, it is a hybrid drive that connects the engine and the gearbox together - in the form of a hybrid special engine, with the help of the motor drive to adjust the number of revolutions and torque of the internal combustion engine in the operation of the car, making the entire drive more intelligent.
The result is greater efficiency, greater fuel savings, and, of course, higher R&D requirements and difficulties. According to reports, the "Star Core Power ET-i Full Engine Supermix" technology was listed as one of the key special projects of the "13th Five-Year Plan" National Key Research and Development Plan "New Energy Vehicles", and during the entire technical attack period, the engineers of Xingtu Automobile overcame many problems of complex system structure, engine control, transmission control, drive motor control and vehicle control deep coupling, and created a new path of Chinese hybrid power with complete intellectual property rights. In the exploration and research and development of new energy vehicles, Chinese auto brands have surpassed the "two fields" and are at the forefront of the world.
As we all know, most Chinese consumers like to accelerate fast models, and they are eager to accelerate their cars to rival Ferrari, but the price can only be 100,000 yuan. The joint venture brand car can only say to them: The concubines can't do it, so let's play. At this moment, it is an opportunity for Chinese brands to stand out.
At the same time, at the technical level, the super hybrid technology represented by the star core power ET-i can bring better NVH, acceleration, ultra-low fuel consumption and smoothness. Wu Pei, a well-known car critic, said in the live broadcast of this set of technical officials that he also drove a hybrid model. He only has two requirements: first, there can be no sound when pure electric drive, and there can be no "bang" when the engine is driven; second, three gears cannot have a pause when changing gears. The Starway Star Nuclear Power ET-i did it all, and it exceeded his expectations.
Energy saving is the "instinct" at the beginning of the development of new energy vehicles, and acceleration is the duty of new energy vehicles. The transmission efficiency of "Star Core Power ET-i Full Engine Supermix" reaches 97.6%, the comprehensive fuel consumption of 100 kilometers is only 1L, and the fuel consumption of feed is 4.8L. Let the user's oil and electricity advantages be fully occupied, affordable and used to save. At the same time, the two-wheel drive model zero hundred accelerated in less than 5 seconds, and the four-wheel drive model zero hundred accelerated in less than 7 seconds.
It is reported that the first model of the Xingtu brand equipped with the "Star Core Power ET-i Full Engine Super Hybrid" technology is the Xingtu Wind Chasing ET-i. Its standard version can reach a pure electric driving range of 105km, and the comprehensive driving range is more than 1000km. Daily commuting does not require oil, high speed and long distance without worry.
It is worth noting that most of the super hybrid technologies previously released by Chinese brand cars have been used from high-end models of major brands, such as Geely Xingyue L, Trumpchi second-generation GS8, BYD Tang and Han DM-i, Changan UNI-K... Major brands have used the most cattle technology in the most high-end models, and Xingtu's first choice is to chase the wind SUV, which also reflects that Xingtu starts from market demand and tries its best to meet the brand vision of consumers, after all, the 100,000-yuan SUV represents the voice of most consumers at present: both good performance, fuel economy, and affordable price.
