Plug-in hybrid in the past is often accused of too chicken ribs, pure electric mileage is too short, daily charging is also more troublesome, and because the vehicle weight increases long-distance fuel consumption will be relatively high, many people choose to plug in hybrid models may only be for that green card and tax exemption policy. Toyota's dual-engine hybrid, which is really well received in the market, although it cannot enjoy the country's favorable policies, but with excellent fuel economy, it has accumulated a lot of fans in the market.
However, the situation is not quite the same today, with the development of technology, the endurance of plug-in hybrid models is gradually increasing, and the overall fuel economy is also improving. In the past, the pure electric endurance of a plug-in hybrid model generally rarely exceeded 100KM, but now some domestic plug-in hybrid models even have a battery life of more than 200KM. In this article, we will take stock of what are there?
First, BYD Han DM-i
Pure electric endurance: 121KM 242KM
Talking about plug-in hybrid is naturally inseparable from BYD, and its DM-i super hybrid system can be said to be the biggest contributor to the spring of the plug-and-mix market. According to BYD's 2021 new car sales data report, the sales volume of its plug-in and hybrid models has reached 272,900 units, accounting for 46% of new energy models, and the DM-i version contributes the vast majority of the share. Now BYD is also actively covering this set of DM-i hybrid technology to other models.
Han DM-i has not yet officially entered the market, but the basic information of the model has been almost ripped off. It will be equipped with a plug-in hybrid system composed of a 1.5T dedicated engine and an electric motor, and will be launched in three versions, and equipped with BYD's blade battery, the single-motor two-wheel drive version of pure electric endurance is two kinds of 121KM, 242KM, and the dual-motor four-wheel drive version has also reached 202KM. The power loss and fuel consumption are also not high, between 4.2L-5.3L/100KM.
Even the pure electric endurance of 121KM is already at a relatively leading level in the current plug-in hybrid models, and the endurance of the Wuling Hongguang MINIEV entry-level model is 120KM. The 242KM endurance has doubled, has been very close to the pure electric model, even if it is a week commute 5 days a day round trip 40KM office workers, can already do a weekly charge, do not need to charge every day or even a month down may not need to refuel, greatly saving the cost of the car, and improve the convenience of the car. In fact, most of the commuting radius of most people in the city will not reach 20KM, take my colleagues and friends as an example, basically live within 5KM of the company.
In addition, the design of Han DM-i will also have certain differences with the current Han DM, the main difference is the design of the front face and tail lights, the front of the car is full of momentum, and the internal light source of the tail lights is more flexible than the design of the current dragon claw.
Second, the new BYD Tang DM-i
Pure electric endurance: 215KM 252KM
The pure electric endurance of the current BYD Tang DM-i is 52KM-112KM, and the new Tang DM-i is equipped with a blade battery with a larger capacity of 45.8kw·h, and the pure electric endurance reaches 252KM, which is longer than the Han DM-i version, breaking through the endurance limit of the pure electric mode of the plug-in hybrid model. At the same time, the fuel consumption under the power deficit state is not high, only 5.6L/100KM, considering that the Tang self-weight as a medium-sized SUV is not low, this figure is indeed quite economical.
The new Tang DM-i will also use a DM-i hybrid system composed of a 1.5T turbocharged engine + electric motor, with a maximum engine power of 139Ps, an electric motor power of 160KW, and a four-wheel drive system with better acceleration and handling. The four-wheel drive version has a pure electric endurance of 215KM, and the fuel consumption is 6.5L/100KM.
The design of Tang DM-i has also been upgraded compared to the current model, the armor-style front grille is more exquisite and atmospheric, the treatment of the two sides of the deflector groove and the front surround is more personalized, full of visual impact, and the technical attributes of the near-closed rim pattern are very strong. The change in the tail is mainly in the rear encirclement, which is much more coordinated as a whole. The current Tang DM-i 112KM version price is 216,800 yuan, the new model due to a significant increase in battery life costs are certainly higher, the price should come to about 250,000, but the specific or depends on the follow-up BYD official information.
WEY MOCHA DHT-PHEV
Pure electric endurance: 175KM-204KM
The Mocha is WEY's second model to be equipped with DHT-PHEV, and the first compact SUV model, the Macchiato DHT-PHEV, is not short, reaching 110KM. The Mocha DHT-PHEV of the medium-sized SUV is directly upgraded to 204KM, which can also reach the frequency of charging once a week for most people.
Its hybrid system is composed of 1.5T turbocharged engine, highly integrated DHT transmission, front and rear motors, high-density batteries, with pure electric, series, parallel, direct drive and other power output modes, almost covering a variety of working conditions, the maximum horsepower of the engine is 156Ps, the fuel consumption under the condition of power loss is only 5.55L/100KM, and the four-wheel drive version can achieve 4.8S zero hundred acceleration results, the performance is quite violent, and the pure electric endurance has reached 175KM.
The overall design recognition of the MOCHA DHT-PHEV is also very high, the front LED light group and the front grille shape are quite sharp, full of murderous, the body line is also very agile, and the overall lack of bulkiness of other medium-sized SUVs. The atmosphere inside the car is also full of technology, providing a 14.5-inch central control screen, AR-HUD augmented reality head-up display, 9-inch touch panel screen and 9.2-inch LCD instrument, and the use of streaming media rearview mirrors, intelligent configuration and experience have reached a high level. The MOCHA DHT-PHEV will also be the first of the three models to enter the market and will start pre-sale on the 14th of this month.
It may not be difficult to make a plug-in hybrid model with a pure electric endurance of more than 200KM+, and what is more difficult is to ensure extremely low fuel consumption in the power loss mode, which not only solves the battery life anxiety, but also greatly broadens the travel radius. In the face of these models, toyota dual engine fuel economy has no advantage, and can even save money than Toyota dual engine, and they can also enjoy the green version and tax exemption policy that Toyota does not have. So the question is, do you prefer to choose domestic or Toyota?
