For new energy vehicles, the mileage has always been a problem to be broken, and major car companies have made efforts in terms of endurance. The Wei brand Mocha DHT-PHEV, which recently began to be pre-sold, with its 204km endurance, played the "0 anxiety" signboard, and such endurance is indeed one of the best in the same class. However, the price of this car of 299,000-315,000 yuan has caused a lot of discussion, and in the face of bydder BYD Tang DM, which is booming in the field of medium-sized SUVs, it is even at least 12,200 yuan higher than its top match. So the question is, is it worth spending more money for endurance? Let's take a brief look at it.
Now popular "small eyes big mouth" style?
In terms of appearance, mocha DHT-PHEV basically continues the shape of the fuel version, and the overall style looks somewhat similar to that of Tang DM, using a large-size grille, slender headlights and other "small eyes and big mouth" designs. However, the workmanship of the two cars in terms of details has its own advantages, there is an inwardly recessed line under the MOCHA DHT-PHEV grille, which adds some layering, and the chrome trim above the Tang DM grille continues to the headlights on both sides, which makes the front face more imposing.
On the side of the body, the Mocha DHT-PHEV uses multiple waist lines, the bulge on the door widens the overall visual effect, and the hidden door handle design is also adopted. However, although it has a slight advantage in the size of the car, the tail of the Tang DM is more uplifted and looks longer. The design of the rear part of both cars is relatively simple, the taillight shape of the Mocha DHT-PHEV is the same as the headlights, forming a front and rear echo, while the Tang DM uses the popular through-channel taillights, which are quite technological after lighting.
Is the sense of technology given by three "big screens"?
In terms of interior design, the Mocha DHT-PHEV is also consistent with the fuel version, with a strong futuristic feeling. The car is equipped with three LCD screen partitions, the most eye-catching of which is the 14.6-inch large-size central control screen, which is not too much to call a small TV, but the physical buttons in the car are relatively few, and most of the functions are completed on the three screens. In addition, the materials on the car are also more elaborate, and the center console is wrapped in soft materials, which feels very good. In contrast, the 12.8-inch central control screen in the Tang DM car is not so stunning, the interior style is more conventional and simple, the car is covered with a lot of leather materials, and the texture looks very good.
In terms of configuration, Mocha DHT-PHEV has not yet announced its specific configuration information, according to the information we learned, Mocha DHT-PHEV will be equipped with a built-in Qualcomm 8155 chip cockpit chip car machine system, as well as AR-HUD head-up display and facial recognition and other functions, can bring a very good intelligent experience, but as for L2 level assisted driving, seat heating ventilation, remote control parking and other configurations, this can also be seen on the Tang DM, not particularly brilliant. Overall, the level of technology and intelligence of this car is indeed outstanding, for consumers, although the various configurations on the Tang DM are enough to meet the needs of daily driving, but a little higher budget can enjoy a more intelligent experience on the MOCHA DHT-PHEV, which is also a good news for friends who pursue scientific and technological performance.
Space is comparable, do you want battery life or performance?
In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the Mocha DHT-PHEV are 4875/1960/1690mm, and the wheelbase is 2915mm; the length, width and height of the Tang DM are 4870/1950/1725mm, and the wheelbase is 2820mm, so it can be seen that in addition to the body height, the Mocha DHT-PHEV basically has a slight advantage. The 7-seat space of the Tang DM can fully meet the standards of medium-sized SUVs, the leg space in the front and rear rows of the car is relatively generous, and the third row of seats can be reclined to expand the large trunk storage space, loading some large items is not a problem. In this way, the ride space of the Mocha DHT-PHEV should have a good performance.
In terms of power, the Mocha DHT-PHEV is equipped with a plug-in hybrid system composed of a 1.5T engine and an electric motor with a maximum power of 115 kW, the battery capacity is 39.67 kWh, and two-wheel drive versions and four-wheel drive versions are available, of which the two-wheel drive version of the system has a maximum power of 291 kW and a maximum torque of 570 N·m; the four-wheel drive version of the system has a maximum power of 355 kW and a maximum torque of 762N·m. Tang DM is equipped with a 2.0T engine, the largest battery capacity is 22.3kWh, there are two-engine four-wheel drive version and three-engine four-wheel drive version, of which the two-engine four-wheel drive version of the maximum power of 321kW, the maximum torque of 650N·m; the maximum power of the three-engine four-wheel drive version of the system is 431kW, the maximum torque of 900N·m, from the parameter comparison, it can be seen that the performance of the Tang DM is more outstanding, and the performance of the 100-kilometer acceleration of up to 4.3s is faster than that of the Mocha DHT-PHEV.
However, in terms of endurance, the WLTC pure electric endurance of the MOCHA DHT-PHEV two-wheel drive version is 204km, and the four-wheel drive version is 175km, which is dwarfed by the endurance of The Tang DM's maximum 100km. As for fuel consumption, the feeder fuel consumption of Mocha DHT-PHEV is between 5.55-6.3L, and the feeder fuel consumption of Tang DM is 7.5L, and tang DM has no advantage from the data. Overall, although Tang DM has a more powerful power performance, the endurance is not even half of the Mocha DHT-PHEV, and the fuel consumption cost of the late maintenance car should be much higher than that of the Mocha DHT-PHEV.
Write at the end
In the face of bydder Tang DM with strong word-of-mouth double certification, Weipai Mocha DHT-PHEV has also come up with a lot of "skills", not only in the interior to continue Weipai's consistent excellent quality, the level of science and technology is very outstanding, but also has up to 204km of endurance, enough to achieve its "0 anxiety" slogan. Combining these advantages and its price of about 300,000 yuan, the Mocha DHT-PHEV is in line with its positioning as a high-end home SUV. For friends who pursue relatively high endurance and technology configuration, Mocha DHT-PHEV is indeed worth considering. However, BYD's new Tang DM-i has been declared, and in the face of its 252km endurance, it is presumably not much time left for Mocha DHT-PHEV to lay a solid foundation in the market.
