"There are only two hybrids in the world, one is Toyota and the other is the other."
For more than 20 years, Toyota's THS hybrid system has been unique in the world with excellent fuel-saving performance. This ridicule of netizens is like a spell hanging over the heads of other car companies, it seems that in the field of HEV hybrid, Toyota is already unmatched. But in recent years, Toyota's monopoly advantage has gradually been broken.
The first is that the Honda i-MMD hybrid catches up, and then, BYD, Great Wall, Geely and other independent brands have also launched efficient hybrid systems with excellent economy. As the most representative technology-based car company in the autonomous camp, Chery Automobile is also actively laying out hybrid technology. Recently, Chery's high-end brand Xingtu officially released the ET-i full-engine supermix system, which has achieved a comprehensive surpass of Japanese hybrid in terms of energy saving, intelligence and performance.
Stronger, more economical and quieter than the Japanese hybrid
Whether it is Japanese or autonomous, the core of these efficient hybrids is a set of efficient energy management systems, in this regard, Xingtu has achieved further improvement, the first full-featured hybrid transmission DHT, with 3 engines, 3 gears, 9 modes and 11 speed technical advantages.
At present, most of the HEV/PHEV systems on the market use the power system of engine + dual motors, one of which is responsible for generating electricity and one is responsible for driving, which means that there is a certain loss of power performance and energy conversion. In the Starway ET-i system, both motors can drive the vehicle, and this world's only "three-engine" drive mode makes the ET-i system have stronger performance. Equipped with the ET-i system, the Star Trail Wind Chaser uses the power combination of a dual motor + 1.5TCI hybrid special engine, with a maximum power of 240 kW and a maximum torque of 510 Nm, and the acceleration of 100 kilometers takes only 6.8 seconds. The performance is better than competitors such as Toyota RAV4 Dual Engine, Honda Haoying Rui Hybrid, song Pro DM-i and so on.
In addition, in the Starway ET-i system, the DHT gearbox has 3 physical gears, which is more smooth than the traditional one-speed direct connection + extended range DHT system. With the ultra-high thermal efficiency of the 1.5T hybrid special engine, the ET-i system can drive the engine efficiently in more speed ranges, avoiding the secondary energy loss between the engine power generation and the electric drive, and ensuring that the engine can work in the most efficient speed range in any working condition.
Specifically, the Xingtu ET-i system supports 9 driving modes such as single motor pure electric, dual motor pure electric, engine direct drive, parallel drive, parking charging, and driving charging, and can intelligently switch the system drive mode between 11 driving conditions such as starting, medium and low speed, elevated, overtaking, red light, congestion, highway, long-distance travel, mountain road, high-speed steering, ice/mud/sand and gravel. These 11 speed modes fully cover all driving scenarios such as urban commuting, long-distance travel, and extreme road conditions, ensuring a perfect balance between power and energy consumption.
In addition, the Xingtu ET-i system adopts TSD dual-shaft drive, and the smoothness of gear shifting and oil-electric switching is comparable to that of pure electric vehicles. The addition of ultra-quiet RSS oblique rotor technology greatly reduces the working noise of the motor, making the total sound pressure level of pure electrical conditions only 75dB, which is quieter and more comfortable than other hybrid models.
With the blessing of the efficient energy management mode, the fuel consumption of the ET-i system is only 4.8L/100km. In addition, the ET-i system is equipped with a pure electric endurance of 105km as standard, and adopts a CRBS energy recovery system, and the fuel-electric hybrid endurance is as high as 1000km+. It can be said that the ET-i system not only has fuel saving comparable to Japanese hybrids, but also has more advantages in endurance, performance and intelligent performance.
Technology, brand dual drive
Under the multiple difficulties of industry downturn, epidemic situation, lack of core, etc., Xingtu Automobile's cumulative sales volume in 2021 was 37,155 vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 121%. This strong counter-trend growth momentum is not unrelated to the all-round improvement of Xingtu in brand, product and technology. In 2022, the arrival of the ET-i system is bound to allow Xingtu to achieve faster development.
In April 2021, Xingtu released a new brand positioning - "Jizhi New National Innovation". The new positioning is centered on the Internet generation of users, focusing on their diversified characteristics of liking early adopters, paying attention to quality, obsessing with technology and loving "national tide fashion", re-product definition, brand marketing and co-creation activities, the relationship between Xingtu and users has become closer, and the brand tone of high-end and national tide has become clearer.
Under the guidance of the new brand positioning, Xingtu has entered the product year in 2021, with high-end 7-seat SUV winning the moon, sports-focused Xingtu TX super energy four-wheel drive version, all-round player Lingyun and other new cars have met with consumers, which fully meet the needs of consumers in various market segments for high-end SUVs with excellent performance and intelligence.
In addition, Xingtu is constantly improving in terms of technology. In August this year, Xingtu released the M3X Mars architecture PRO, the new 2.0T engine achieved 261 horsepower, 400Nm excellent performance, far more than the Volkswagen EA888, BMW B48 and other world-class engines, in the field of 2.0T engines played China's strongest sound. Today, the ET-i system has surpassed the Japanese brand in terms of comprehensive performance and become a world-class hybrid, providing strong support for the development of New Energy Vehicles in China.
At present, carbon peaking and carbon neutrality have become a new topic in the development of human society, and as a large emitter, the task of carbon reduction is more arduous. Although electric vehicles can efficiently reduce carbon, problems such as difficult charging, slow charging, and short endurance are still difficult to solve, and it is difficult to replace pure fuel vehicles in a short period of time. In this context, the energy-efficient, energy-efficient HEV hybrid, high-efficiency PHEV plug-in hybrid is more suitable for most consumers, more suitable for alternative fuel vehicles. The arrival of the new Xingtu ET-i all-engine supermix system will become an important support for the dual carbon goal of its own brand, fully demonstrating the responsibility and responsibility of Xingtu and Chery Automobile as leading independent brands.
Excellent products and excellent sales performance have made Xingtu draw a successful end to 2021. The ET-i full-engine supermix system has made Xingtu open the door in 2022, and the three labels of performance, intelligence and energy saving are bound to make Xingtu achieve more dazzling results in 2022.
