There is no doubt that new energy vehicles have become a new trend in the current automobile market, whether it is imports, joint ventures or independent brands, or new car-making forces, have launched a variety of new energy models of various types, among which products equipped with hybrid technology are highly sought after.
With the change of fertility policy and family structure, the use of six-seat / seven-seat layout of the medium and large SUV has become the choice of many consumers in the eyes of the delicious, especially in the current widespread use of hybrid technology, medium and large hybrid SUV is undoubtedly the best choice, which can not only meet the needs of many people travel, with high-quality car experience, and excellent endurance, especially after joining the motor, the overall power performance is not inferior to the traditional performance car.
To this end, we selected three medium and large SUVs that are currently popular, conducted a comparative test of 0-100km/h acceleration results, and saw how fast these "big guys" can accelerate, which are the new second-generation GS8 dual engine version of the domestic popular model GAC Trumpchi, the medium and large SUV benchmark GAC Toyota fourth-generation Highlander and the new force representing the ideal ONE. What will they achieve under the same road conditions, environment and load capacity? Will there be any discrepancies with the officially released figures? The next step is for you to reveal.
How fast can the 100-kilometer acceleration of medium and large hybrid SUV be
Zero hundred acceleration performance is an important indicator of automobile performance, in addition to reflecting the performance of the engine, but also has a great relationship with the matching of the transmission system. The fourth generation Highlander introduced the TNGA 2.5L new fourth-generation enhanced version of the THSII Toyota hybrid system, the new second-generation GS8 dual-engine version of the hybrid system is the same as highlander, the difference is that the match is the third generation of GAC 2.0TM engine, as for the ideal ONE equipped with the range extension system driven by the 1.2T engine to provide power for the motor driving the vehicle. During the 100 km straight-line acceleration test, the driver will start with full throttle timing, and the professional instrument will record the time to reach 100 km/h instantaneously, and take the best result from it.
From the measured data, it can be seen that the acceleration time of the second-generation GS8 dual engine version and the ideal ONE is better than the official record, it is worth noting that the second generation of GS8 dual engine version compared to the ideal ONE using the ejection starting mode, the acceleration time is only 0.4 seconds apart, it can be seen that under the joint action of the 2.0TM engine and Toyota's fourth-generation THS hybrid system, the second-generation GS8 dual engine version can be compared with the same level of opponents using pure electric drive, whether in the starting moment or in the continuous acceleration process.
Through the personal testing of the three models, it can be felt that for the fourth-generation Highlander, fuel saving is the focus, and power is secondary, so the acceleration ability in the middle and rear section is slightly gentler than the new second-generation GS8 dual engine version. As for the ideal ONE in the state of power loss, although the acceleration has a certain sense of pushing back, the ability to accelerate again is slightly lacking.
On the whole, the acceleration performance of the new second-generation GS8 dual engine version is more outstanding than the previous two cars, especially at the moment of acceleration at the beginning, the low torsion explosion is still very strong, and the speed is also very fast. Thanks to the perfect cooperation with the gearbox, the moment the throttle is pressed to the end, the powerful torque still brings a more obvious push back feeling to the entire acceleration process, and the response speed of the entire power system is not delayed. Why does the second-generation GS8 Dual Engine Edition have such a strong performance?
With the blessing of the THS hybrid system, the new second-generation GS8 has better performance than Highlander
First of all, let's take a look at the two models equipped with Toyota's fourth-generation THS hybrid system, the second-generation GS8 and the fourth-generation Highlander From the perspective of engine parameters, the maximum power difference is not large, but the torque output of the GS8 is significantly better than that of the Highlander, so in the rapid acceleration instantaneous and continuous acceleration capabilities, the Highlander's performance is more "Buddhist" and lacks a sense of surging power.
As for the ideal ONE in the case of more than 60% of the power and the battery temperature of 18 ° C -50 ° C, it can open the ejection start, the vehicle can burst out the maximum power of the motor at the moment of starting, and there will be no tire slippage under the blessing of the four-wheel drive system, so it is also expected to achieve a zero-hundred acceleration performance of 6.4 seconds. In the state of power loss, even if the oil-electricity hybrid + motion mode is adopted, the start is relatively soft, and the acceleration of the entire acceleration process has been maintained at about 0.4-0.5g. However, for the ideal ONE with a body weight of 2.3 tons, the 8.8-second power loss zero hundred acceleration is also a good result.
In contrast, the second-generation GS8, which weighs more than two tons, why can it also run surprising results? This is due to the perfect match between the 2.0TM engine + Toyota's fourth-generation THS hybrid system, as the first 2.0T and THS hybrid system power combination, so that this test refreshed the official record, driving downwind at a wind speed of 4 m / s, the second generation GS8 dual engine version achieved a 6.8 second acceleration performance, in the same class of models can be called one of the best, bringing the driving experience with the ultimate acceleration push back feeling.
The high-efficiency 2.0TM engine is the third-generation Miller cycle engine independently developed by GAC Motor, with a maximum thermal efficiency of 40.23%, leading the same level. Toyota's fourth-generation THS system mainly includes hybrid transmissions, power control units, power batteries, HV-ECU vehicle controllers, and P4 rear-end electric drive assemblies (four-wheel drive models). With the blessing of multiple technologies, this system can more reasonably control the distribution of fuel power and electric power, so that the power system always runs in the most efficient range, achieving both low fuel consumption and strong power.
The high-quality chassis is tuned for comfort and sportiness
As for the driving level, all three models bring high-quality enjoyment to the driver and occupants, among them, the fourth-generation Highlander pursues the ultimate comfort enjoyment, while the ideal ONE and the new second-generation GS8 dual-engine version can balance comfort and sportiness.
Based on toyota TNGA architecture to create the fourth generation highlander, the car's driving control texture has been improved to a certain extent, the steering wheel feel is very delicate, flexible, smooth, low speed will not feel the slightest amount of openness, as for the suspension adjustment bias towards soft and comfortable style, even if the speed is faster, the suspension can also pull the rear bounce back quickly, overall it is clean and clean.
Whether it is the steering wheel strength, acceleration ability and a series of driving control experience, the ideal ONE is very close to the traditional fuel vehicle, especially the acceleration ability, not like those pure trams that are 4 seconds away, giving you a G value like tearing space, even if the ideal ONE turns on the catapult mode, the entire power is fast and stable.
The second-generation GS8 Dual Engine Edition was born on the L platform under the GPMA architecture, the flagship platform for medium-sized/medium-sized products, with independent suspension at the front and rear to ensure comfort, and high standards of tuning in the operation stability, steering, braking, and four-wheel drive system. Thanks to juxing chassis, the second-generation GS8 Dual Engine Edition has flexible and smooth comfort, agile and stable operation performance, convenient and smooth steering performance, steady braking performance, tough and reliable off-road performance.
In the 100 km linear acceleration link, the new second-generation GS8 dual engine version is not only strong power and smooth shifting performance, the new design and optimization of the upgraded chassis platform is also impressive, due to the use of dual hydraulic suspension powertrain and high-performance shock absorber valve system, optimize the impact strength and aftershock, and through the suspension system to optimize the longitudinal flexibility, improve the impact strength, enhance the impact softness, so that the suspension combination is quite tough, the road surface filtration is clean and sharp, the pitch of the body is also very well controlled.
summary:
Through this zero-hundred acceleration test, it can be seen that the ideal ONE in the catapult mode has a leading power response under the motor drive, which makes you feel like a pure electric model; while the fourth-generation Highlander is more of a high standard in the comfort level, whether it is acceleration feeling or chassis filtering, it is smooth and calm. As for the new second-generation GS8 dual-engine version with strong power and advanced driving texture, igniting the driver's passion for driving control, it is a medium-sized hybrid SUV that can combine power, handling and comfort and luxury, and the overall performance integrates the advantages of the fourth-generation Highlander and the ideal ONE. The top acceleration capability, coupled with the carefully tuned chassis system, allows the new second-generation GS8 dual engine version not only to show off the track, but also to complete the extreme challenge, which not only shows the powerful performance of the 2.0TM+ Toyota fourth-generation THS hybrid system, but also presents the high-end texture of the luxury SUV.
Perhaps in the eyes of some consumers, the joint venture brand market has a higher amount, the quality is more trustworthy, in fact, in the GPMA architecture under the empowerment of the new second-generation GS8 dual engine version, its process and quality have also reached the international high level, only need to spend about 200,000 yuan price, you can enjoy the texture and value of 300,000 level models, I believe that with strong comprehensive strength, the new second generation GS8 dual engine version can break through the fierce competition in the market.
