At the beginning of last year, Weipai, a subsidiary of Great Wall Motor, officially launched the first intelligent flagship model after the brand renewal - Weipai Mocha. Since then, Weipai has not stopped pushing new steps, and launched the MOCHA NOH smart pilot version at the Guangzhou Auto Show last year, which also made Mocha the first and only fuel vehicle in the same level to enter the high-level intelligent threshold.
Not long ago, the Mocha DHT-PHEV equipped with intelligent DHT technology finally came to consumers, and we also took the first time to shoot and initially experience the new car. After a day of test driving experience, Brother Ruan's expectations for Weipai DHT technology have been met. More importantly, Mocha DHT-PHEV is indeed a product that can bring zero anxiety to users, and it is expected to help Wei brand further stir and occupy a larger share of the new energy market in the future.
The selling point is not only fuel consumption, but also the acceleration performance is excellent
When it comes to new energy vehicles, we will always habitually associate them with "energy saving". But on the Mocha DHT-PHEV, "performance" is the biggest attraction of this model. Mocha DHT-PHEV has a set of highly integrated intelligent DHT + 2 power modes + 1 set of high-efficiency management, of which the high-performance four-wheel drive version is equipped with a 1.5T + front and rear dual motor power combination, the maximum power of the system is 355kW, the maximum torque of the system can reach 762N·m.
To be honest, when I first saw the power parameters of the Mocha DHT-PHEV, I couldn't believe my eyes, after all, the 762N·m data was enough to rank among the supercars. The main reason for such excellent parameters is that the mechanical structure of the MOCHA DHT-PHEV is different from other new energy models. Its Lemon Smart DHT system is equipped with a two-gear DHT gearbox, as well as a higher power motor and a rear axle motor, which make the performance of the Mocha DHT-PHEV "too good", and the official announcement is that the acceleration time of 0-100km/h is only 4.8s.
Although the performance of the MOCHA DHT-PHEV in terms of acceleration performance is quite eye-catching, excellent fuel economy is also essential for a new energy vehicle with a hybrid. The 100-kilometer feeder fuel consumption of the 100-kilometer long-endurance version of mocha DHT-PHEV is as low as 5.55L, and the pure electric endurance can reach 204km, with a comprehensive endurance of 1000+km; the 100-kilometer feeder fuel consumption of the high-performance electric four-wheel drive model is 6.3L, and the pure electric endurance can reach 175km. In addition, mocha DHT-PHEV supports fast charging up to 60 kilowatts, the efficiency is not pure power transmission at all, and also supports external discharge, and the use of scenarios is also more abundant. It can be said that the MOCHA DHT-PHEV has made us say goodbye to mileage anxiety and have a lower cost of use.
The driving texture is in line with expectations and 7 driving modes are available
In this test drive, The Brother mainly experienced the high-performance electric four-wheel drive model, in the initial stage, it basically relies on electric drive to drive, so it is an electric vehicle feeling. The front mid-section of the Mocha DHT-PHEV is very fast, and if you step on the throttle deeply, you can also experience a good push back feeling, and the power response is direct. In the high-speed section, the advantages of the two-stop design are reflected, when the speed exceeds 80 yards, it will enter the high-speed gear, if necessary, all the power units will carry out power output at the same time to achieve the strongest power output. Moreover, this system can switch between pure electricity, mixed connection, series connection and other modes on its own, so that the DHT system effect can be exerted to the extreme.
In addition to being able to switch between EV and HEV, the MOCHA DHT-PHEV also provides 7 conventional driving modes such as standard, economic, sports, snow, all-wheel drive, mud and sand, each with a different hybrid strategy and driving experience. In addition, there are special modes such as car wash/trailer and wading for active choice, which is very user-friendly and takes into account the life scene.
In terms of chassis, the entire infrastructure of the Mocha DHT-PHEV is the independent suspension of the front McPherson and the rear multi-link, but there is a bright spot, the lower arms and steering knuckles of the front and rear suspension are made of cast aluminum, and the body material is extremely solid. Comfort is the main pursuit of this car, whether it is cornering or through bumpy roads gives people a very comfortable feeling. Especially in the face of the speed bump, the suspension rarely has a stiff limit impact, and the filter texture is flexible. It is worth mentioning that some models are also equipped with active electromagnetic suspension, which greatly improves comfort.
Smart and luxury are still the most distinctive labels
Although the power system is the killer of Mocha DHT-PHEV, it is actually very capable of designing and configuring these aspects. First of all, mocha DHT-PHEV has the latest family design language of Wei brand, and the large-size front grille is matched with an angular LED matrix headlight group, and the whole vehicle looks very classy.
Although the interior of mocha DHT-PHEV is relatively simple, it is wrapped in a large area of soft materials to create a very elegant and refined atmosphere. Like the fuel version of the model, the Mocha DHT-PHEV is also equipped with a 14.6-inch suspended central control screen, with Qualcomm's flagship 8155 chip, which is extremely responsive. And provides a lot of modern technology features, such as QQ music, online navigation, video entertainment and so on. In addition, over-the-top configurations including W-HUD head-up display, oversized panoramic sunroof, crystal-textured gears, Yanfeilis audio, streaming media rearview mirrors, and AI intelligent facial recognition enhance the value of the vehicle.
As a smart car, the Mocha DHT-PHEV has a brilliant performance in terms of functionality and safety equipment. It has a total of 5 millimeter wave radar probes and a front-view camera to provide hardware support for L2 level intelligent assisted driving. In addition to L2 level assisted driving, it also supports the NOH intelligent pilot assisted driving system, with intelligent access ramps, lane change protection, avoidance sink entrance and other functions.
Before the test drive of Mocha DHT-PHEV, The brother really did not expect that lemon intelligent DHT technology is "so fragrant", its various levels almost reach the ceiling, completely do not lose the world's top "two fields", the progress of independent brand plug-in hybrid technology can be described as a leap forward. While we pay attention to DHT technology, we must not forget the performance of Mocha DHT-PHEV in terms of intelligence, rich car networking functions, comprehensive intelligent driver assistance systems, etc. are all plus points, and its future market performance is still worth looking forward to.
