At present, there are still many pain points in pure electric models, such as endurance anxiety and few charging piles, etc. In the case of pure electric vehicles are not perfect enough, hybrid seems to have become a better choice. In the hybrid market, Toyota's THS hybrid system has always been a relatively excellent oil-electric hybrid system, and even some people have released a bold statement that "there are only two hybrid systems in the world, one is Toyota hybrid, and the other is other hybrid." So do we really have no oil-electric hybrid system that can be used in China?
As early as a few years ago, there was indeed none, but now it is different, and we can also come up with a decent oil-electric hybrid system, such as the Great Wall's lemon intelligent DHT hybrid system. What we are going to talk about today is a model equipped with the Lemon Intelligent DHT Hybrid System - WEY Latte DHT. How does this car perform, let's look at its specific performance today from the dimensions of exterior design, interior space, safety intelligence, and power control.
Exterior design
In terms of appearance, the latte DHT adopts a family-style hexagonal grille, and the central mesh "lock armor" style plating process, with the brand LOGO as the center to the surrounding divergence looks exquisite. The other two side of the headlight group is more distinctive, using three vertical LED light sources similar to the brand LOGO, which is more eye-catching. The entire front face is highly recognizable.
From the side of the body, the latte DHT has a strong sense of size. In terms of body size, the new car has a length, width and height of 4668/1890/1730 mm and a wheelbase of 2745 mm. Such body sizes belong to the upper middle level in the same class. In addition, the smooth waistline design of latte DHT adds some soft beauty to the whole car.
The tail design is relatively simple, and the sharp taillight design echoes the headlights. Latte DHT uses hidden exhaust, which is relatively low-key.
In general, the design of latte DHT is more mainstream, although it is not very avant-garde and radical, but it is stable and atmospheric, in line with the aesthetics of most people.
Interior space
In terms of interior, latte DHT focuses on technology and comfort. The three screens in the car highlight the new car's sense of technology, in addition to the 14.6-inch central control screen and LCD dashboard, there is also an air-conditioned touch screen. In addition, a lot of physical keys have been cancelled, but for users who are accustomed to using physical keys, they will be a little unaccustomed at first, after all, the physical keys are still better to operate. Of course, this car also has an intelligent car machine system, when it is not convenient to do it, you can call out "Xiao Wei Classmate" to help you operate.
In terms of comfort, it can be seen that the latte DHT is working hard. In terms of material, it is made of soft material, and there is basically no plastic feeling. The steering wheel is a leather steering wheel, which is a good grip. In addition, the seat is also made of leather seats, using a diamond-shaped perforated design, which is not only more exquisite in workmanship, but also very comfortable. In the color matching is also more bold, the use of a relatively rare purple and white collocation, a bit refreshing feeling. In addition to purple and white colors, there are also dynamic black, matte rice, coffee brown can be selected.
Thanks to the wheelbase of 2745 mm, the latte DHT has a relatively large rear space. Head space and legroom are relatively abundant. It is also worth mentioning that the two wings are made at the headrest of the seat, and the cushion is longer than the average model, so that there is better head support and leg support. The only thing missing is that the platform is not a flat design, with a slight bulge.
The trunk space is also relatively large, with a volume of 600L, which can easily put down 6 20-inch suitcases. There is no stress in travelling as a family with luggage.
Security intelligence
In terms of safety configuration, low-end models are equipped with intelligent driving assistance functions such as lane keeping assist, lane departure warning, road traffic sign recognition, full-speed adaptive cruise, active braking, and 360-degree panoramic image. Medium and high-end models add functions such as parallel assist, reversing side warning, automatic parking entry, HUD head-up display and face recognition.
In addition, the latte DHT series comes standard with a panoramic sunroof, an electric trunk and a transparent chassis. It can be said that in terms of security configuration, it is quite thick.
Power steering
In terms of power, the latte DHT is equipped with an intelligent DHT hybrid system with a 1.5T+ motor. The 1.5T special engine integrates Miller cycle, VGT supercharger and other technologies, and the hybrid system has a combined power of 246 hp and a maximum torque of 532 Nm. The drivetrain is a dedicated DHT transmission. The acceleration of 100 kilometers takes only 7.5 seconds, and the comprehensive fuel consumption of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is 4.9L/100km, which is indeed very fuel-efficient.
In addition, the power response of this power system is very fast, and it can actively respond by tapping the throttle. Whether it is starting or overtaking, you can be one step ahead. DHT special gearbox performance is also good, the operation is very smooth, whether it is urban driving or high-speed road conditions, the power of oil and electricity switching is very smooth, there will be no obvious frustration. The vehicle also performs well in terms of tranquility, with the engine intervention almost insensible and no noise heard. In terms of suspension, the latte DHT uses the design of the front McPherson + rear multi-link independent suspension, and the overall filter effect is good.
summary:
In general, the performance of all aspects of latte DHT is very balanced, and I personally think that the Lemon Intelligent DHT Hybrid System of the Great Wall is indeed a hybrid system that can be handed, and has a good performance in the four aspects of "fast, smooth, quiet and provincial". The latte DHT launched three models, the middle cup, the large cup, and the super cup, with a price range of 159,800-179,800 yuan. If you want to ask which one is the most worth starting, as mentioned earlier, the configuration of the latte DHT is very rich, even if it is the configuration of the entry-level model is completely enough, the big fish thinks that the latte DHT2022 model 1.5T DHT mid-cup model is the most cost-effective.
