I used to be unable to afford a car, now I can't afford to drive!
The year 2021 that has just passed is definitely a painful year for thousands of car owners! Referring to the oil price information of the past year, China's oil prices have achieved an unprecedented "15 up, 6 down and 4 stranded". This is definitely not a small number for friends who drive a lot! In this context, many friends who "seek saving" have set their sights on the hybrid models of "oilable and electric", such as the ideal ONE, which has become the first choice of many users with labels such as green card, hybrid, and daddy car.
However, on the other hand, we often see netizens complaining. Ideal ONE This car has a high fuel consumption, especially when running at high speed, and even some netizens gave the evaluation of "10 oils". So, are all hybrids with such high fuel consumption? Obviously not, for example, Xingtu Automobile just released the Star Core Power ET-i full engine supermix technology, borrowing the official saying: "Equipped with the industry's first "3 Engine 3 Gear 9 Mode 11 Speed" model, its 100 km fuel consumption is only 1L! ”
3 engine 3 gear 9 mode 11 speed, so that "low fuel consumption" is no longer a dream
The ideal is very full, the reality is very bone! On the basis of the same hybrid technology, the reason why the Star Core Power ET-i full engine supermix technology can achieve such low fuel consumption is inseparable from the brand's first "3 engines, 3 gears, 9 modes and 11 speeds". And this is also the basis for its gap with the ideal ONE.
Let's first look at the ideal ONE car, its power system is composed of a three-cylinder direct injection 1.2T engine + a dual motor of 140kw after 100kw in front + 100kwh generator. At the same time, the system can provide different working conditions for the whole vehicle according to different car use scenarios.
Take the commonly used extender condition as an example, in this working condition, this set of powertrain priority with the power in the battery for driving, and when the battery reaches a lower state, the range extender inside the system begins to intervene. Subsequently, the 1.2T engine works to drive the generator to charge the ternary lithium battery, while the motor continues to drive the car to drive.
This leads to a problem, in the high-speed section, which should be the advantage of the engine, the extender car will increase the fuel consumption performance of the car because of the loss of power transmission, which is why the ideal ONE is spit out the root cause of high fuel consumption.
Let's take a look at Xingtu Auto's Star Core PowerED ET-i full-engine supermix technology.
Among them, "3 engines" refers to the intelligent combination of internal combustion engines and dual-drive motors. At present, in addition to a 1.5T hybrid special engine, Xingtu Automobile has also prepared two more efficient engines of 1.5TGDI and 2.0TGDI, "3 gears", which refers to the power architecture with the most 3 physical gears in the existing hybrid technology; "9 modes" is the abbreviation of the 9 working modes unique to the system, including single motor pure electric, dual motor pure electric, engine direct drive, parallel drive and other modes; "11 speed" refers to the engineer after a series of data analysis. The selected 11 gear combinations cover all car scenes.
It is not difficult to see that whether it is the hardware configuration level or the application scenario of the technology, the star core power ET-i full engine supermix technology of Xingtu Automobile is more comprehensive than the performance of the ideal ONE. Next, we will start from the actual car scene and analyze the strength behind the "3 engines, 3 gears, 9 modes and 11 speeds".
Strong power, super smooth, long endurance, extremely fuel-efficient, hybrid can also play like this
In order to give everyone a clearer understanding of the charm of the "Star Core Power ET-i Full Engine Super Hybrid" power architecture, we can refer to the first model equipped with this technology - starway chasing ET-i. So, can it really achieve the four characteristics of "strong power, ultra-smooth, long endurance, and extreme fuel saving" promoted by Xingtu Automobile?
At the driving level, we need to pay attention to the two characteristics of strong power + super smoothness!
Refer to the information given by the starway official, equipped with the two-wheel drive version of the star core power ET-i full-engine supermix model, the total power reaches 240kW, and the acceleration of 100 kilometers is less than 7s; if you want to experience more powerful performance, you can also start a stronger four-wheel drive version, specifically, the four-wheel drive version has a total power of 338kW, and the 100 kilometers accelerate into the 4s level.
As for the ideal ONE model, its system comprehensive power reached 245kW, the system comprehensive torque reached 455N .m, although the same electric four-wheel drive, but in terms of performance, compared to the Starway Wind Chasing ET-i is weaker.
It should be noted that because in the process of working on the system, this power system has the help of TSD dual-shaft drive technology, so when the actual gear shift, there is no so-called power interruption and power loss, and the driving experience is very smooth.
As we all know, when the car overtakes, it pays attention to a "fast speed", especially the more congested road conditions in the city of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen, and for the model equipped with the star core power ET-i full engine super hybrid, it is obvious that it has such strength.
Then there is the long endurance and extreme fuel saving that everyone pays attention to, that is, the side of "low fuel consumption".
In actual driving, thanks to the intelligent hybrid control system, the Star Core Power ET-i full engine supermix allows the three engines to always work in the optimal performance range.
For example, in the full road condition adaptive power mode, the system can make the power control system and the navigation system dual core interconnection, and then identify the road condition in advance and intelligently realize the optimal power scheme; for example, under accelerated conditions, the system can also decelerate in advance to store energy for the vehicle, thereby improving fuel utilization.
Thanks to this, the average efficiency of the NEDC working condition electric drive of the model equipped with the star core powerED ET-i all-engine supermix has achieved the industry-leading ">90%." Taking the upcoming star-to-wind ET-i as an example, the comprehensive fuel consumption of the car can reach 1L/100km, and the fuel consumption of feeder is 4.8L/100km. Thanks to this, its standard version of the model can reach a pure electric mileage of 105 km, and the comprehensive driving range of more than 1000 km. Therefore, when driving in daily life, there is no so-called "mileage anxiety".
On the other hand, the ideal ONE, because it is mainly driven by electricity, so in the system feed state, the fuel consumption is also very high! Referring to the official website of the ideal car, we can know that the minimum state of charge fuel consumption of this car is 8.8L/100km, if the user's driving habits are not good, 10 oils per 100 kilometers is not a strange thing!
The hybrid market is not the only one in the ideal car
Buying fuel vehicles is worried about the cost of using cars, and buying pure electric vehicles has mileage anxiety, so the "oilable and electric" hybrid vehicle has become the first choice of many consumers! As a hybrid "Daddy Car" that can be on the green card, the ideal ONE out of the circle relies on this advantage! But in fact, on the hybrid technology alone, traditional car companies still have a better performance at the technical level than the new forces of car manufacturing.
Leaving aside the Xingtu Automobile just mentioned, brands such as Changan, BYD, and Great Wall have layouts!
In the middle of last year, Changan Automobile launched the iDD hybrid system, which is known to friends familiar with Changan. The Blue Whale series engines, whether powered or fuel-efficient, have achieved the level of the joint venture brand. On the basis of the traditional engine, Changan Automobile also introduced a P2 hybrid architecture, and the drive motor is located between the engine and the gearbox. Therefore, this hybrid system, under the premise of having low fuel consumption, still has a zero-hundred acceleration capability of 6 seconds.
As for BYD, it has to mention the DM-i super hybrid technology launched by the family.
Compared with traditional hybrid technology, DM-i super hybrid is to change the main engine-dependent, oil-based design architecture. In the actual working process, the system can be driven by ultra-safe large-capacity batteries and high-performance high-power flat-wire motors as the design basis, relying on high-power and high-efficiency motors. The engine is powered at high speed, and this "electricity-based, gasoline-supplemented" electric hybrid architecture can greatly reduce the fuel consumption performance of the car.
For comparison, even in the case of power loss, the QIN PLUS DM-i can have a NEDC fuel consumption as low as 3.8L/km, and the comprehensive cruising range is more than 1245 km.
Another example is Great Wall Motor's lemon hybrid DHT technology, and the official definition of this hybrid technology is "fast, smooth, quiet and provincial". As a set of highly integrated oil-electric hybrid system that truly realizes the "oil" and "electricity" mixing, Great Wall Motor Lemon Hybrid DHT has both HEV and PHEV architectures, and due to the particularity of the structure, it has a variety of working modes such as pure electricity, mixing, series connection, and energy recovery. Compared with the competitors, the special feature of the lemon hybrid DHT is that it adopts a highly integrated internal combustion engine + transmission + dual motor + controller device, which can also achieve efficient engine operation.
Based on the previous analysis, it is not difficult to see that the attitude of traditional car companies to hybrids is completely different from that of range extended models. At the technical level, the extended range model can only use EV and series mode (the engine supplies power to the motor), so the fuel consumption is relatively high under high-speed conditions; and the hybrid of traditional car companies has EV, series, parallel and direct drive capabilities, even at low speed, the traditional hybrid technology can also keep the engine in the efficient range, thereby reducing high-speed fuel consumption!
Conclusion:
Sales can represent strength, but sales should not equal strength!
As the industry's first brand to propose "3 engines, 3 gears, 9 modes and 11 speeds" technology, The strength of Xingtu Automobile in the level of hybrid technology is bound to be remarkable! From the comparison between the previous and the ideal ONE, it is not difficult to see that although it is the same hybrid, whether it is at the technical level or in the actual application scenario, the performance of the star core power ET-i full engine supermix is more comprehensive and balanced, which reflects the pragmatic mentality of the traditional brand to treat technology.
It is unreservedly said that in the star core power ET-i full-engine supermix technology, Xingtu Automobile has once again shown the advantages of Chery's "polytechnic man". As for the star core power ET-i full engine supermix technology, after the late model is listed, our "Car 314" will conduct a more in-depth evaluation! Interested friends, you can continue to pay attention.
