"It's a tram, it's fast and smooth, and there's no mileage anxiety about generating electricity with oil." My uncle, who retired from the aero engine unit, experienced the Tang DM-i I drove back to, and he was still unfinished when he returned the car: "So, it is a bit like the J-20 in the automotive industry, if it is a foreign brand, how to get 40-500,000 yuan." ”
In fact, this Tang DM-i Premium Edition is priced at 219,800 yuan. On the same day, my uncle received a model of the J-20 aircraft sent by the original unit and immediately placed it in the most conspicuous position in the home.
(The J-20 is one of the most advanced stealth fighters in China and the world, and is China's defense heavyweight.) ）
Military fans are more aware that the J-20 (code name: Weilong) is a fifth-generation air superiority fighter with high stealth, high situational awareness, high maneuverability and other capabilities developed by the Chengdu Aircraft Design and Research Institute of AVIC, representing the most advanced fighter level in the world at present, and can be comparable to the F22 and F35 of the United States.
(The pick-up time on January 26 shows 8,251 kilometers, and by February 8, it will be 10,227 kilometers when the car is returned, and a total of about 2,000 kilometers will be driven in two weeks during the Spring Festival of the Year of the Tiger.) ）
From getting the test drive on January 26 to returning the car on February 8, after two weeks of nearly 2,000 kilometers of test drive, I also agree with my uncle's statement.
(The Tang DM-i Premium Edition of the test drive is equipped with privacy glass, and the red paint surface shows a sense of luxury; but the red paint has to be added 2,000 yuan, and the Tesla car paint increase is from 6900 yuan.) ）
Because DM-i super hybrid is currently the hybrid system with the best energy efficiency performance of BYD and even Chinese brands. It consists of a turbocharged 1.5Ti high-efficiency engine, an EHS hybrid system and a DM-i super hybrid power blade battery.
DM-i may also be the most suitable technology for the Chinese market at present, oily and electric, but also green card, free of purchase tax.
In January this year, bydir's plug-in hybrid DM version sales have surpassed pure electric EVs, and more and more Chinese brands are preparing to launch similar plug-in hybrid models, which will become the hope of Chinese brands to catch up with international auto giants. On the rural roads of Fujian, I also see DM-i models driving by from time to time.
Don is BYD's flagship SUV, and it is not an exaggeration to call the Tang DM-i the "J-20" of the automotive industry.
After DM-i joined the camp, the Tang family's sales rose rapidly, exceeding 9,000 units in January, almost breaking the wrist with the ideal ONE and Highlander.
The energy consumption in the urban area is about 5L/100km, and the high-speed is 6-7L/100km
According to the official statement, Tang DM-i is equipped with a 1.5T plug-in hybrid system, providing 112km pure electric endurance, fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is only 1.2L, zero hundred acceleration is 8.5s, and its comprehensive cruising range is 1050km.
(In the countryside, you can easily connect the power supply to carry out slow charging, charging about 1.5 degrees per hour, which can be filled in one night; the urban area can be quickly charged to connect to a convertible plug.) ）
Tang DM-i is really good at making electricity in the urban area, and returning to the hometown in the countryside of Fujian also uses electricity, because the household electricity can be charged at any time; when the dc power is used in the urban area, add a conversion plug on the line.
(During the entire Spring Festival, 2,000 kilometers of travel, refueling twice, a total of 72 liters, are 92 oil, costing 545 yuan.) ）
In the whole trip, there are part of the urban and township road conditions, but more is the highway, which is a test of Tang DM-i's power consumption.
Tang DM-i driving computer shows the energy consumption of the last 50 kilometers, the energy consumption of 100 kilometers in the urban area is about 5 liters of oil, and the high-speed working conditions are 6-7 liters, which is quite low data, you know, it is a medium and large SUV of about 2 tons.
(The comprehensive energy consumption under different working conditions is roughly between 4-7L/100km.) ）
This is actually a test drive vehicle in a factory, often in idle state and roughly test driven. The cumulative fuel consumption of more than 10,000 kilometers is about 6.3L/100km.
You know, my usual Accord hybrid is also known for fuel saving, and the fuel consumption of more than 30,000 kilometers is also 6.3L/100km.
In order to stimulate everyone's potential, on BYD's APP, you can see the national Tang DM-i energy consumption ranking.
Some people don't care about the fuel consumption of this little money, but refueling is a high-frequency behavior, more or less will still be painful, to the novel is related to their own wallet, to the large extent is related to the country's "double carbon" goal.
The day before I got the Tang DM-i, I opened the Accord to refuel, was startled, No. 92 oil has risen to 7.44 yuan / liter, two months did not go to the gas station, thinking that it is still in the 6 yuan range. International crude oil prices are expected to rise further due to tensions between Russia and Ukraine.
Kaitang DM-i8 hours back to Guangzhou, Model 3 took 12 hours
Of course, now the endurance of pure electric vehicles is 600, 700 kilometers, long-distance travel seems to be no problem, other times I dare not say, the Spring Festival travel is really enough.
(During the Spring Festival, there is traffic jam everywhere, and the picture shows a section of highway conditions.) ）
On February 6, I drove Tang DM-i back to Guangzhou from my hometown in Fujian, the whole journey was more than 500 kilometers, and the normal driving of 6 hours was enough, but the Spring Festival road was very congested, it took 8 hours to arrive, during which I added oil once, it took 3 minutes, this is the second refueling during the entire Spring Festival, and there are more than 500 kilometers to Guangzhou.
Therefore, BYD's claim that Don DM-i ran 1,000 kilometers with a tank of oil 53 liters is not bragging.
My classmates drove a Model 3 and went the same route, and guess how much time it took? He departed at 2 p.m. and arrived at 2 a.m., a total of 12 hours. What is the most precious thing about this year? Time!
(Charging piles on highways are often out of place, but thankfully Don DM-i can use oil.) ）
The model 3's pure electric endurance is known as 468 kilometers, but anyone who knows it knows that high speed has to be 40% or 30% off.
The Model 3 is not running fast, and the replenishment is still slow compared to the fuel car. My classmate charged twice on the road, each time for more than 40 minutes; but once the highway rest station could not enter, so I had to get off the highway to recharge the electricity. The temperature on the day was less than 10 degrees, the child was frozen enough, near 24 o'clock want to get off the highway to avoid tolls, because the queue missed the time, and paid more than 100 yuan of tolls.
Big space, quiet and high class
Tang DM-i is essentially a family car, and space is just needed, especially for a two-child family like us.
The car has a length, width and height of 4870/1950/1725mm, and a wheelbase of 2820mm, which is a standard medium and large SUV, creating a good space, the second row of 3 people is more than enough, and the co-pilot can also free up luggage.
In the Spring Festival, I personally felt that the car was not enough, the first need to become a tail box, when returning to my hometown, I was eager to bring all the gifts; when I returned to Guangzhou, I almost moved the family's vegetable garden.
(After the third discharge fell, Tang DM-i's tail box had a long depth and super loading capacity, and the box alone contained 7.) ）
How much can the tail box of the Don DM-i fit? After putting down the third row, 5 large suitcases and two small suitcases were packed first, and there were countless boxes and bags in the back.
Generally speaking, the sense of control of large cars is not as good as that of small cars, because the huge wind resistance of the body is also large, but Tang DM-i is an exception, it is mainly driven by electricity, and it is a dimensionality reduction blow to pure fuel vehicles.
Tang DM-i in the city when driving 99% of the working conditions are driven by motors, 80% of the time the engine is in a state of shutdown, speeding up and overtaking that is a matter of an instant, it does not feel like driving a big car, this is the appearance of a high-end car.
Tang DM-i's zero-hundred acceleration time is 8.5 seconds, although it has not been measured, but it feels that it should be around 8 seconds; because its acceleration is almost the same as its own Accord hybrid, which is more than 7 seconds.
Even in the state of rapid electricity, Tang DM-i is still mainly driven by electricity, the power is on call, the driving texture is far stronger than the previous Tang DM, and the fuel consumption is also reduced a lot.
The don DM-i's mute effect is comparable to a luxury car. In addition to improving the isolation effect of noise vibration in terms of body structure and workmanship materials, the use of electricity enables Tang DM-i to reduce the generation of noise vibration from the source.
In the daily operation of the system, the engine speed range is basically maintained in the optimal working condition to avoid vibration and noise caused by the change of speed. Even at a speed of 120 km/h, there is still easy communication between the front and rear rows.
Intelligent progress is obvious
For vehicles based on electric drive, intelligence is inextricable, especially the new car-making forces regard it as the main selling point.
BYD's car machine system has also been complained about, and today's Tang DM-i has reached a very high level of intelligence. Just like the most obvious DiLink 3.0 intelligent network system, in the 15.6-inch 8-core adaptive rotation suspension Pad, it integrates 70+ smart voice control, and even supports fuzzy semantics, children's voice recognition and multi-person interaction.
A "Hello! Xiao Di", you can control the glass, sunroof, song and other functions, and the accuracy is extremely high, the response is also fast.
Or DiPilot intelligent driving assistance system, including intelligent remote control driving mode, holographic transparent image system, blind spot monitoring system and other functions, especially during the Spring Festival of long-distance driving, Tang DM-i's L2 level driving assistance system is easy to get started, and even can be taken off for a long time, with the safety redundancy of the front car is higher, driving up with confidence.
For a larger 7-seat SUV like Tang DM-i, the driving difficulty itself is higher than that of the car, but with the assistance of these intelligent safety systems, it can largely eliminate the owner's worries about driving. As for the Bluetooth key, mobile phone NFC car key, remote control vehicle, two-way charge and discharge technology and other functions, I will not elaborate on them.
Tang DM-i also made great efforts to meet the entertainment needs of the Chinese people, such as the K song function on the car, and even equipped with a microphone, but unfortunately the children could not experience it because of shyness; the atmosphere lights in the car will change with the rhythm of the music, and the sense of ceremony is full.
Summary: In the face of the high threshold of oil-electric hybrid set up by Toyota and Honda, BYD has surpassed with the innovative DM-i super hybrid, with stronger performance and lower fuel consumption. It is mainly driven by electric drive, which can solve the mileage anxiety with oil power generation, and is an excellent opportunity for Chinese brands to catch up with international brands.
As BYD's flagship SUV, Tang DM-i caters to the current trend of consumption upgrading: good-looking, easy to open, easy to use. Of course, Tang DM-i is not perfect, for example, the dashboard reflects seriously, the pure electric mileage is shorter, and the air suspension is better. BYD is also constantly improving, and the upcoming new Don DM-i is expected to have a pure electric range of 252 kilometers.
