In the past, consumers who wanted to buy an SUV that had no mileage anxiety and were affordable enough often had to choose joint venture SUVs like the Honda iMM-D and Toyota Dual Engine, and the price was generally around 200,000. Since last year, independent brands have continued to make breakthroughs in hybrid technology, not only BYD has brought DM-i, Great Wall has brought intelligent DHT, but also allowed consumers to start hybrid SUVs The threshold has become lower.
Therefore, under such market competition, many people have put the budget on about 160,000, because you can only spend the price of fuel vehicles, you can choose a hybrid model, the cost performance is self-evident, and specific to the model, the current more popular include Toyota Yize double engine, BYD Song PLUS DM-i, Wei brand Macchiato DHT-PHEV.
Who "mixes" better?
These three hybrid models represent different routes of their respective brands in the field of hybrid technology, and have their own advantages in terms of performance.
First of all, Toyota Yize double engine is more familiar to everyone, using oil-electric hybrid mode, and through the E-CVT transmission planetary gear adjustment motor and engine collaboration, to achieve hybrid, its minimum fuel consumption of 100 kilometers is 4.5L, the average fuel consumption of daily driving is basically about 6.5L, as an SUV such a performance is still good.
And BYD Song PLUS DM-i as last year's explosive hybrid products, it took the technical route for plug-in hybrid, through a large-capacity blade battery and a thermal efficiency of up to 43% thermal efficiency, to achieve ultra-long endurance and ultra-low fuel consumption, its power deficit state, the official 100 km fuel consumption of 4.4L, and in our long test process, its actual fuel consumption performance is even lower, the average is about 4L.
The Wei brand Machido DHT-PHEV can be seen from the name, it is also taking the plug-in hybrid route, but as a latecomer its advantage is to be able to stand at the top of the pyramid and then go further, using multi-gear engine direct drive, fuel saving at the same time can also give a certain driving pleasure, its official 100 km loss fuel consumption is only 4.4L, the minimum 100 km fuel consumption is only 0.8L.
So from the perspective of hybrid technology, Toyota dual engine due to the early layout, has developed to the fourth generation, its biggest advantage should be reliable, as for the ideal state of the lowest fuel consumption, has been latecomer DM-i, intelligent DHT surpassed, because both are the performance of the power deficit state, if it is sufficient daily use, their energy consumption will be further reduced.
In addition to fuel consumption, driving experience is also important
It is said that fish and bear paws can not have both, hybrid models in the fuel saving at the same time, but also let many consumers have questions about their performance, so these three models have not sacrificed some driving pleasure because of the pursuit of fuel economy?
From the actual experience, toyota Yize double engine performance is still more inclined to fuel economy, although its motor can independently start and drive the vehicle, but due to the lack of power, the performance of the improvement is not obvious, the system comprehensive maximum power 135Kw, comprehensive maximum torque torque 390N · m, the start is relatively light, but the middle and rear section acceleration is more linear, Buddhist system.
The BYD Song PLUS DM-i has a variety of driving modes, including electric motor and engine EV, series, parallel, direct drive, of which pure electric EV mode can bring rapid response at the beginning, and the power of series and parallel mode, compared to the fuel version of the model, can also give a faster speed, but in the direct drive state, because of the use of a maximum power of 81Kw, torque of 135N ·m 1.5L engine, so its performance output is still limited.
As for the Weipai Machido DHT-PHEV, it also has a variety of driving modes such as pure electricity, series, parallel, and energy recovery, all of which are designed to make it have better power response while saving fuel. For example, at low speed, the pure electric mode can bring strong output, and the speed reaches more than 35km/h, the vehicle can achieve parallel connection, obtain the dual power bonus of the engine and the motor, so that the vehicle has a comprehensive maximum horsepower of 197Kw, a maximum torque of 410N·m, and the fastest speed increase of 7.2 seconds per 100 kilometers, compared with BYD Song PLUS DM-i, Toyota Yize dual engine performance is stronger, acceleration faster.
160,000 can enjoy the luxury configuration, is it reliable?
In fact, from the aspect of technology and driving experience, it is not difficult for us to draw a conclusion, that is, the Weipai Machido DHT-PHEV in this level of hybrid models, belongs to the fuel consumption and performance of the player, but in fact, its advantages are more than that.
As an SUV under the independent luxury brand Weipai, the Macchiato DHT-PHEV has only two models to choose from, and it has achieved high matching for entry. We compare the Macchiato DHT-PHEV special edition, Yize Shuangqing Yixing edition, and Song PLUS DM-i 110KM flagship version with the same price range of about 160,000.
Passive safety configuration, Yize dual engine is the most abundant, with 10 airbags, but Macchiato DHT-PHEV, Song PLUS DM-i also has 8 airbags, which is an excellent level. The spatial performance Song PLUS DM-i is even better, but in addition to this, the Macchiato DHT-PHEV is significantly ahead of the curve.
For example, the Macchiato DHT-PHEV comes standard with L2 level autopilot assistance and active brakes. At the same time, it is also equipped with a standard 9.2-inch LCD instrument, a 14.6-inch central control screen, a HUD head-up display, 10 speakers, mood lights, induction wipers, etc. Once these configurations are used, you will know how much difference there is and no.
So from a comparative point of view, if you want to use the price of a fuel vehicle to buy a better performance, more fuel consumption, and equipped with a higher hybrid SUV, then the Wei brand Macchiato DHT-PHEV will be a choice worth considering.
