When it comes to Nissan Xuanyi, everyone's first impression is definitely home, worry-free, and fuel-saving. But if e-POWER Xuanyi is mentioned, everyone may be strangers. In fact, e-POWER Xuanyi is still the comfortable, worry-free and fuel-saving house man, but the e-POWER model adopts a new powertrain.
e-POWER uses Nissan's new fusion power technology, burning is oil, using electricity, its biggest advantage is fuel saving, but also open up the power is also refreshing, and open an electric car is no different, but there is no electric car mileage anxiety, after all, gas stations are everywhere.
The new e-POWER Xuanyi car has just been launched, the guide price is 138,900-174,900, the price is more expensive than the fuel version, but after the test drive, you will find that it is actually a value for money model. unbelief? Listen to my analysis for you.
The oil consumption of the meter is 3.4L, and a tank of oil is 1,000 kilometers easily
Nissan e-POWER system is a set of oil-electric series powertrain, the engine is responsible for power generation, driven by the motor wheels, sounds more similar to the extender hybrid system, but in fact there is a difference between the two, such as e-POWER can not be externally charged, the battery volume and capacity are much smaller, the weight of the vehicle is correspondingly lighter.
In fact, Nissan's new car equipped with the e-POWER system has been sold in the Japanese market as early as 2016, but it has only been introduced into The country now, and its most direct opponent is the HEV hybrid model represented by Toyota Honda, so what is the hard power of e-POWER?
Equipped with a 1.2L naturally aspirated engine with a maximum horsepower of 72 horses, the e-POWER Xuanyi has a thermal efficiency of up to 43% because it is only responsible for generating electricity and has been working in the efficient zone. For the owner, the motor of e-POWER Xuanyi is the real driving power source, its maximum power is 136 horses, the maximum torque is 300 Nm, and the book data is equivalent to the actual level of a 1.5T engine at this stage, especially the peak torque, which is close to double that of the fuel version of Xuanyi.
What do consumers who buy traditional hybrid models care most about? In my opinion, there will definitely be engine noise and the abruptness of the engine when it intervenes. But e-POWER Xuanyi does not have this concern, because the whole process is driven by the motor, even if it encounters an uphill slope or needs strong power output, when the engine starts to charge the motor, the sense of intervention is very weak, and there is almost no sense of existence.
As far as actual driving is concerned, I also think it's very powerful. The initial stage is not to say, the power is direct, and the pedal is at will. The same is true in congested road conditions, the overall driving experience is delicate, smooth, and driving is very relaxed. Of course, you don't have to worry about its floor oil power to make you breathless, after all, this is a duty family car, even if you throttle to the end, the characteristics of the motor determine that its acceleration is not abrupt.
In addition, e-POWER Xuanyi is equipped with three modes: energy saving, standard and sports. In the energy-saving mode, the car defaults to strong kinetic energy recovery, which is mainly reflected in the fact that the speed of the car will be very slow when going down steep slopes, which will always make you have a feeling of stepping on the brakes and going downhill.
However, if you are used to this mode, you can completely use it as a single pedal mode, the overall fuel saving effect is better, the whole process runs down, the author of this car watch show fuel consumption is only 3.4L, it can be said that quite fuel saving, basically a tank of oil running 1000 kilometers is a conventional operation.
Of course, if you're not used to the feeling of going downhill with brakes, you can switch to Standard mode. In this mode, the throttle response becomes more responsive and the kinetic energy recovery is more moderate. As for the sport mode, its temper will be a little more grumpy at this time, and the throttle will be channeled a little, but the kinetic energy recovery will also be enhanced, the same as the energy-saving mode. For most consumers, the ordinary model is enough to meet the needs of daily use of cars.
Who has the advantage over the Corolla Hybrid?
In this class of models, if you mention hybrid, you must first think of the hybrid model of the two fields, so let's compare the Corolla Twin Engine and the e-POWER Xuanyi.
From the perspective of power, the motor power of e-POWER Xuanyi is significantly higher than that of Corolla Hybrid, which is related to the power structure of the two cars. e-POWER Xuanyi relies entirely on the motor, while the Toyota hybrid system motor only plays the role of auxiliary output, the vehicle at low speed and high speed, the motor and the engine will work together.
In terms of driving experience, the Corolla dual engine can also be driven by electricity, but after starting, it is a collaborative work, once the system finds that the power is insufficient, the engine will intervene in the work, at this time there will be a very abrupt feeling, as if the engine is telling you that it is starting to work.
In addition, the floor oil to the end, you can feel the corolla hybrid initial stage of the power is very strong, but after 80 km / h, it is a little weak. Xuanyi does not have such a feeling, even if the engine is frequently started to charge the battery, you are not easy to feel the intervention of the engine, and the power output is relatively linear.
The most fuel-efficient speed range of the Corolla Dual Engine is mainly concentrated in the low and medium speed, that is, daily urban driving, and the motor can make up for the low efficiency range of the engine, but when driving at high speed, the fuel saving effect is greatly discounted.
Relatively speaking, the gap between e-POWER Xuanyi's fuel consumption performance in the city and high-speed is not so obvious, it is said that in good road conditions, e-POWER Xuanyi can run 1200 kilometers with a tank of oil. I have to admit that although Nissan e-POWER Xuanyi came late, it is indeed a good dish.
『 Final Remarks 』
It is true that among the top three Japanese, The Hybrid model of The Two Fields took the lead in entering the country and achieved a good reputation. As a latecomer, Nissan e-Power's strength should not be underestimated. Smoothness and driving texture and excellent fuel economy is the biggest impression it left on me, see here, if you still feel that e-POWER Xuanyi is expensive, then you may wish to compare with the same level of models, e-POWER Xuanyi guidance price is 138,900-17.49 million, while the Corolla dual engine guidance price is 135,800-15.98 million, the starting threshold is slightly higher than e-POWER Xuanyi. The Honda Lingpairui hybrid model, the guidance price is 139,800-169,800, the entry price is very close. On the whole, the price of e-POWER Xuanyi is actually not much different from the hybrid model of The Two Fields. It is also recommended that you personally go to the 4S shop to test drive and feel the e-POWER Xuanyi, maybe you will have the answer when choosing a car.
