With the time into 2022, because the battery technology has not been significantly broken, resulting in endurance anxiety has not been able to solve, coupled with the sudden rise in premiums of pure electric models at the end of 2021 and the decline of new energy subsidies in 2022, this series of operations has allowed consumers to re-focus on hybrid models, which are now very mature products, and major independent brands have also begun to lay out this market early, I believe that in 2022, led by independent brands, The entire hybrid market will undergo very significant "changes".
Today we will first look at 4 domestic hybrid models, they are Geely Xingyue L Raytheon Hybrid Edition, BYD Song MAX DM-i, Chery Tiggo 8PLUS Kunpeng e+, and the current Great Wall Weipai Latte DHT, I will briefly analyze the advantages of these four cars, while looking forward to their respective future development trends.
Gilly Star-Over L Thor Hybrid Edition
Good meals are not afraid of late
Looking back on the past, in fact, Geely's layout in the field of hybrid is an early domestic manufacturer, and it has taken the lead in using the early hybrid technology on geely Emgrand HEV, and its fuel consumption of about 5 liters does represent the success of this system. However, because Geely did not have an efficient engine at that time, we could not see the combination of the hybrid system in the follow-up models, until the latest, Geely finally announced an engine with a thermal efficiency of 43.43%, and thus the new Thor hybrid was officially opened.
Geely Raytheon hybrid uses 3 electric motors, of which the P1 motor is used for engine speed regulation, automatic start and stop and power generation, which is somewhat similar to the motor system on the 48V light hybrid, while the P2 and P3 motors are mainly responsible for pure electric power output and power recovery. From a structural point of view, it seems that the functions of P2 and P3 motors are somewhat repetitive, and some brands will merge them into one motor, but Geely's logic looks more like the pursuit of the ultimate power output and the ultimate kinetic energy recovery, and the work of one motor is split into two motors to complete it will be more conducive to the efficiency improvement of their respective work, the disadvantage is that the cost may be higher.
In terms of engine, Geely's hybrid system will use 4 traditional gears to provide the engine with the possibility of intervention in the full speed domain, but at the same time, the engine can also enter the state of pure power generation without directly driving the vehicle, and whether the engine directly drives the vehicle is adjusted by the computer to judge the current working conditions.
Overall, Geely's Thor hybrid is indeed very perfect in principle, as for the shortcomings and actual effects, I am afraid that it can only be known until it is actually sold to the user.
BYD Song MAX DM-i
Jianghu veteran
BYD's DM-i hybrid system has been very perfect, from its sales point of view, everyone's acceptance of it is also quite high, and now there is a situation where a car is difficult to find.
From a technical point of view, BYD DM-i almost brings together all the advantages of pure electric and hybrid models to meet the various use cases of users, while taking into account their respective advantages to the greatest extent. For example, if there are charging conditions at home, the BYD DM-i system can completely rely on gasoline, and its mileage is enough to meet the ordinary commuting; and if it only relies on gasoline to drive without charging, BYD DM-i technology can maximize fuel economy, so this system has almost no disadvantages.
In addition, BYD's earlier layout of the hybrid market has led to its more experience in product upstream and downstream management, which is manifested in terms of cost control and product quality control.
Overall, BYD's DM-i system is very mature and undoubtedly one of the strongest competitors in this market.
Chery Tiggo 8PLUS Kunpeng e+
Delay in listing
Chery Tiggo 8PLUS Kunpeng e+ hybrid system and Geely have similarities, but it also has its own characteristics, first of all, Chery Kunpeng system uses a 3-speed transmission to solve the problem of direct engine drive, why chery uses 3 gears and Geely uses 4 gears? I personally think that this has a relatively large relationship with the engine itself, and the engines developed by each manufacturer have their own economic fuel ranges, so matching the transmissions of different gears can maximize its effectiveness.
In terms of pure electric drive, Chery uses two motors to solve the problems of drive, kinetic energy recovery and power generation, which is lighter than Geely in structure, but it is still difficult to say who is better.
Overall, Chery's hybrid system is currently on the market, and its first batch of 500 units of pre-sale is indeed too "small family", if you want to seize the market, please quickly "send troops".
Great Wall Weipai latte DHT
The vanguard of the market
Before writing this article, I have read all the reviews of a car critic on the Great Wall Weipai latte DHT, this car critic has more than once provoked the Great Wall model, and this time he gave the Great Wall Weipai latte DHT a very high evaluation, which shows that the Great Wall DHT technology does have its own uniqueness.
I myself do not have any prejudice against the Great Wall, but I accidentally chatted with friends and heard him mention some changes in the Great Wall in recent years, especially in terms of product quality control, his original words were "the car assembly has a probability of 0 km scrapping, and how much scrap per 1 million units of the assembly is an important criterion for measuring product quality, in this regard, the Great Wall has come to the front of its own brand."
Judging from the actual performance of the Great Wall Weipai latte DHT, with excellent production capacity, excellent fuel economy, and low retail prices, there is no doubt that the Great Wall Weipai latte DHT is absolutely competent as the vanguard of the Great Wall Hybrid, and looks forward to their follow-up performance and the appearance of more models.
As I said at the beginning, 2022 will be a year of domestic hybrids, although some brands come late, but this does not affect the actual product performance. As a consumer, the more manufacturers enter this field, the more choice space, let's look forward to the product performance of each manufacturer in 2022.
