It is said that 2021 is the year of the outbreak of its own brand hybrid, in this year, not only BYD's super hybrid system DM-i is ruthlessly harvesting the market, but also major mainstream independent brands have also launched their own new hybrid systems. Chery Group, as an old independent brand, naturally does not want to fall behind, and recently officially released its own "Star Core Power ET-i Full Engine Super Hybrid" system.
Recently, the first model equipped with this set of power Starway Wind Chase ET-i was also officially unveiled, the new car will be equipped with a 1.5T engine + electric motor composed of plug-in hybrid, the comprehensive fuel consumption of the vehicle reduced to 1L/100km, and plans to officially open pre-sale on January 20.
First of all, in the appearance part, the overall shape of the car and the fuel version of the wind chasing are basically the same, as the renamed model of the Starway LX, the whole vehicle is positioned as a compact SUV, the style of the front face has a more obvious change compared to the original style, the style of the headlights is relatively narrow and long, the four LED lamp beads inside are still relatively recognizable, and the middle is connected by a black trim strip, and integrated into the brand's LOGO, the overall sense is very strong.
The body side has not changed much, and the overall body line is still relatively tight, but the hybrid version of the model has added a charging interface to the fender on the driving side, which is also a place where it is easier to distinguish between the two models. The through-through taillights echo the headlights, and the blue decoration of the tail marker adds a touch of new energy elements.
Coming to the car, the wind chasing ET-i and the ordinary fuel version are basically the same, the double 12.3-inch through-screen combination is very eye-catching, the built-in Lion Lion Zhiyun 4.0 system, support AR real-life navigation, face recognition and other functions, the use experience is still very good.
Of course, everyone is most concerned about this set of motivation, in fact, the author has also carried out a detailed interpretation before, and today I will briefly introduce it to you. Star core power ET-i full engine super hybrid is composed of fuel engine + full-featured DHT transmission, according to the official said that it has the technical advantages of 3 engines, 3 gears, 9 modes and 11 speeds, which roughly means three power output modules, three gears and 9 drive modes and 11 road conditions.
What you need to understand is that this three-engine three-speed, worthy of the 1.5T fuel engine located in the DHT transmission of the two transmissions, of which the 1.5T engine, the maximum output of 115KW, the maximum torque of 230 Nm. The output power of the other two motors is 55 kW / 160 N.m, 70 kW / 155 N .m respectively. In addition, this DHT transmission also has three physical gears, which has a relatively large promotion effect on the power output and energy consumption of the whole vehicle.
Under the action of this set of "star core power ET-i full engine supermix", its transmission efficiency can reach 97.6%, the comprehensive fuel consumption under full power condition can be as low as 1L/100km, and the fuel consumption is only 4.8L/100km even under the condition of feeding electricity, which is also closer to the current mainstream hybrids, and also greatly improves our view of the traditional plug-in hybrid model. The wind chasing ET-i has a cruising range of up to 105km in pure electric mode and more than 1000km under comprehensive working conditions, which greatly alleviates everyone's mileage and fuel anxiety.
Who are the competitors?
Although the "Star Core Power ET-i Full Engine Super Mix" sounds like a relatively new thing, but its competitors are all moving quickly, in addition to the strong BYD, as well as Geely, Great Wall, Changan and other brands, they all have the characteristics of low fuel consumption in the feed state, and will also be quickly promoted. At present, the opponent facing STAR Chase ET-i should be BYD's Song Pro DM-i.
As the sales of BYD's SUV family, the car was also officially listed not long ago, and also came up with a very attractive price, although the Xingtu brand is Chery's high-end brand, in the brand positioning will be higher, but BYD's brand influence in the new energy market is obviously better, so Xingtu chasing the wind ET-i wants to obtain a certain market, in addition to making full efforts in core technology, but also to come up with a certain sincerity.
summary:
First of all, the set of hybrids that chase the wind ET-i still sounds more attractive, but the specific performance needs to be verified by the market, and in the exterior interior design of the vehicle, the Xingtu brand also has a certain quality guarantee, after all, it is Chery's high-end brand, which has a good increase in the domestic and foreign markets in the past two years. The new car is also about to be officially launched on January 20, let's look forward to it!
