Just before the Lunar New Year, the Dongfeng Nissan e-Power Xuanyi was finally opened.
Say it is very novel, not to mention, after all, in the shape of the whole vehicle is still roughly similar to the fuel Xuanyi; say no, it is different from the existing strong mixing technology in the market model, for the popularization of this technology, Dongfeng Nissan will introduce at least 5 e-Power models before 2025.
What is this car like? Let's put personal subjective conclusions first:
e-Power Xuanyi is a hybrid car that is very similar to a tram, you use it as a tram, it may be more mature and reliable than many existing tram technology, you look at it as a gas car, the oil car may have some criticism of it, the function is not missing.
Good words are afraid to say "but". But yes, strong mix high walk, tram power today, fuel saving race is really no need to exist!
Say that it is a fuel saving race, in fact, the rules of the race are not so strict, the real road conditions of more than 60 kilometers, according to the driver's preferences and ways of free driving, and finally to the comprehensive fuel consumption of the table prevails.
Under the housekeeping skills of the media, the final score number is still considerable, but there is not much actual reference. Let's say that many hybrid models have also done similar races before, and it is not difficult for the comprehensive fuel consumption to stay in the 4-word head, and it is not impossible to open the official calibration of 3.8L/100km. A tank of oil runs thousands of kilometers, which is also within the expected setting.
Since people have me, it is no longer a new thing. The rest of the emphasis falls on the second half of the sentence - no one has me!
The first unique feature of e-Power Xuanyi is the "full-time electric drive", that is, the vehicle is driven by the motor under any working conditions, and the internal combustion engine on the vehicle is only responsible for generating electricity. Although e-Power is a hybrid system in a broad sense, because the internal combustion engine is completely unavailable in the drive work, it cannot be defined as "oil-electric hybrid" in the narrow sense. Dongfeng Nissan made a good advertising slogan for this system: "More electric than hybrid".
The selling point of the full-time electric drive alone is completely different from the previous Toyota, Honda and the current by-one BYD DM-i, and even the ideal ONE that also carries a fuel engine is completely different in the way of working.
Because the internal combustion engine does not need to participate in driving vehicles, it does not require many transmission components compared to other strong hybrid models, which makes Nissan's system lighter and more compact than Ryota's hybrid system. Theoretically, this "simple" system is also more reliable.
Since it is a full-time electric drive, the driving experience of e-Power Xuanyi is directly different from the driving experience of those strong hybrid models that require the participation of internal combustion engines. To put it simply, e-Power Xuanyi is a tram.
In the speed segment from the start to 60km/h, e-Power is vividly reflected in the advantages of electric drive, which is really smooth and fast, so that the owner of the habitual tram can shout familiarity. In the middle and high-speed conditions, the acceleration of this car is not so fierce, and the engine will start more to reserve power.
It may be clearer to explain these with a labor condition diagram: at low speed, there is electricity driven only by electricity, and the engine is not charged, that is, it does not burn oil at all; at medium speed, the engine is intermittently charged; at high speed, the engine is fully charged. To put it more simply, the slower the car is driven, the more fuel-efficient it becomes. Under this rule, the significance of the fuel saving competition is really not great, and the title of fuel saving champion becomes a bit ridiculous. People who drive are at ease, people who sit are comfortable, and all people who use cars are happy, this is a good ending, why nitpick.
In fact, the advantages of the hybrid system, after so many years of publicity in the two fields, the acceptance in the hearts of Chinese consumers has been very high, coupled with the strong publicity offensive of BYD DM-i in 2021, everyone has determined that "strong mixing is the best excessive form of electric drive".
e-Power's product itself is very distinctive, and it is bound to be easier to shine under the endorsement of others.
But latecomers also have their disadvantages. For example, Guangqi Honda has gone from the entry-level Lingpai to the high-end Odyssey, and the family map has been formed. Nissan's e-Power family will take at least 3-4 years to grow stronger, and time is the biggest competitor for Nissan.
In addition, recently, the voice of China's independent brands in the strong mixing power has become more and more increasing. BYD pressed the table first, Geely's Thor power, Great Wall Lemon power, etc., obviously not just to watch. Nissan e-Power will face a bigger and more brutal market competition.
It's also good to have competition.
The more fierce the competition, the wider the choice of consumers, and the lower the price to buy products with a better experience. The price of e-Power Xuanyi is placed in 138,900-174,900 yuan, which is not too much difference with the fuel version, and the Toyota Double Engine belongs to the same range, which not only greatly reduces the consumer's car purchase threshold, enriches the car purchase choice, but also accelerates the popularity of e-Power technology in the Chinese market.
Whether it is e-Power or Nissan's previous 90 years of "tram experience", it is actually strengthening the road to 100% electric drive. As a result, Dongfeng Nissan has also explored a path of advancement that is very different from other opponents. Compared with Tesla or other new car-making forces, Dongfeng Nissan's development in the EV field may not be the fastest; compared with some traditional car peers, Dongfeng Nissan's electric drive transformation is not the most bold and radical, but compared with them, Dongfeng Nissan's pace is both "down-to-earth" and "looking up at the stars" characteristics.
And these are really not nonsense.
