In the era of electrification, the choice of car power has become more abundant, everyone likes the driving sense of pure electricity, but the pure electric endurance anxiety makes many people endure love; and the pure gasoline model displacement is getting smaller and smaller, the power performance is not satisfactory; the traditional hybrid can not be on the green card, daily use is not the most provincial..., so the ideal ONE This range extender power stands out, reflecting its true color that is very suitable for current consumer needs, but the price remains high, and now the Great Wall Weipai has newly launched a mocha DHT PHEV, It has a longer battery life than the ideal ONE pure electricity, which solves the drawbacks of the ideal ONE power loss and high fuel consumption, and the price is lower, which is worth everyone's attention.
We did a simple test of this new car in Huizhou, for a large SUV with a length of nearly 4.9 meters and a weight of more than 2.2 tons, the power performance of the Mocha DHT PHEV is excellent, the start is brisk and smooth, the climb is also very easy, and the hybrid engine is always quiet. As a front-drive version, it has a little less of a very powerful sense of power explosion, but at home, the power is smooth and smooth, there is no gap in the power switch, and the performance can be said to be impeccable, which is more perfect than the pure fuel version.
As a plug-in hybrid SUV, Mocha DHT PHEV uses a large battery of 39.67kW, pure electric mileage of 204km, longer than the ideal ONE's 148km, for most buyers, the average mileage of the car per day is 40, 50km, that Mocha DHT PHEV should be said to be able to meet the pure electricity demand of the normal week commute, the daily opening is actually the feeling of pure electricity, fast response, power foot, in the city is also relatively easy to use.
Of course, mocha DHT PHEV can use hybrid mode when the power is sufficient or insufficient, this hybrid system principle is similar to the Honda i-MMD, belongs to the dual-motor hybrid, there is a generator responsible for generating power to supplement the power, there is a 130kW electric motor mainly responsible for driving the car. That is to say, even in the case of power loss, the Mocha DHT PHEV can also be driven while generating electricity, which not only ensures the power advantage of the electric drive but also does not consume very much fuel. It will not be like netizens commenting on the ideal ONE "pure electricity one dragon, loss of electricity a worm", when the power loss has a greater impact on performance performance.
Moreover, one of the reasons why the Mocha DHT PHEV is fuel efficient, that is, it is the biggest difference from the Honda i-MMD, is that the Mocha DHT PHEV has a 2-speed multi-mode gearbox. When cruising at low speeds on the outskirts of the city, the Mocha DHT PHEV uses the first gear, and when it is high-speed battery, it uses the second gear, which solves the drawbacks of most hybrids not being good at running high speeds, making high-speed driving more fuel-efficient and power-saving. However, this test drive because of the vehicle license plate, we can not go to the highway to test, the specific how to give everyone next time.
Manufacturers announced that the mocha DHT PHEV when the power loss is 5.5L / 100km, which is compared to the ideal ONE's 8.8L economy is a lot, but also more indicative of the MOCHA DHT PHEV DHT system or has a high technical content, this DHT strong hybrid system + 2 gear transmission combination, in the independent brand hybrid system is an innovation, but also added a 204km pure electric battery system, oilable and electric car use, very much in line with the needs of buyers in the current environment.
In addition, mocha DHT PHEV support fast charging, from 10% charge to 80% of the power, the time is only 35 minutes, it should be said that even if there is no household charging pile, the time to drink a coffee on the weekend, the charge is probably enough to use for a week commute. Mocha DHT PHEV also supports external discharge, when going to camping, you can also connect external projectors, rice cookers and other electrical appliances, support external discharge of 3.3 degrees, the degree is not a lot, talk better than nothing.
At this point, everyone should understand that mocha DHT PHEV can be said to open up a new car range similar to the ideal ONE, but different from the ideal ONE. The similarity is that both cars are pure electric feelings, but they have no battery life anxiety, electricity, no electricity, no oil, and do not add any trouble to themselves. The difference is that the Mocha DHT PHEV pure electric endurance is longer, and the loss of electricity is still very fuel-efficient, still does not affect the driving texture, and in the case of a sense of luxury, the price range is expected to be only between 230,000-300,000, that is to say, now the money to buy a fuel version of Tiguan L can actually consider buying a Mocha DHT PHEV.
Wei Pai as the luxury brand of Great Wall Motors, now in the inner compartment "luxury texture" has done a very good job, from the design to the material, to the technology configuration, are much stronger than the same price of the traditional joint venture fuel SUV, the feeling of sitting in, and the past independent brand "stacking material to create luxury" feeling is not the same, the design is more concise, the process is more refined, the most important ergonomic performance, such as driving vision, display line of sight, the convenience of the operation of each function key, etc., are basically unable to pick out the hard injury, Sighing that Wei Pai's car manufacturing progress is rapid, it can no longer use the old concept to look at the new models of independent brands.
In view of the limited test environment, we are not very in-depth about this new Mocha DHT PHEV experience, and there is not much to tell you, however, this car should not be taken lightly, as a rival of BYD Tang DM-i and the ideal ONE, it may also be a potential opponent of the traditional joint venture medium-sized fuel SUV, and its competitive potential is very large. If we have the opportunity, we will tell you more about it next time we do a more comprehensive and in-depth test.
