In 2021, with the hot market of BYD DM-i super hybrid models, independent brand new energy vehicles or hybrid vehicles have entered an explosive period. For example, Great Wall Motors launched latte DHT, Geely Xingyue L launched Thor Hi · X oil-electric hybrid version, as well as Changan UNI-K plug-in hybrid model - Blue Whale iDD. So many hybrid models, which hybrid model is more reliable? Below we compare Song PLUS DM-i and latte DHT two hybrid SUV, how should the home be chosen?

First look at the price, Song PLUS DM-i guidance price of 14.98-20.28 million yuan, latte DHT guidance price of 15.98-17.98 million yuan.
Next, we compare the two cars from the aspects of space, configuration, power system, maintenance costs, and use costs to see which car has more advantages.
Both cars are positioned as compact SUVs, and in terms of body size, the Song PLUS DM-i is 4705/1890/1680 (1670) mm in length and 2765 mm in wheelbase. The latte DHT is 4668/1890/1730mm in length, width and height, and wheelbase length is 2745mm.

How does the power and fuel consumption of the two cars perform? We listed the following data comparison table, you may wish to take a look, in terms of power performance, fuel consumption performance, etc., which car is better?
In fact, from the attribute point of view, Song PLUS DM-i is a new energy vehicle with a range extender, and the driving experience is more like a tram; while the latte DHT is a hybrid model, more like the driving experience of a fuel car. Song PLUS DM-i can provide pure electric endurance of 51 km and 110 km two optional, in restricted cities such as Guangzhou, Shenzhen can be directly on the green card.
The latte DHT has no pure electric mileage, it can only refuel without charging, nor can it be on the green card, which is completely ordinary hybrid SUV.
From the perspective of power performance, Song PLUS DM-i four-wheel drive version has stronger performance, zero hundred acceleration is only 5.9 seconds, power loss fuel consumption of 5.2L, the ultimate fuel saving. Compared with the latte DHT, its comprehensive power is 181kW, and it adopts a hybrid special transmission 2-speed DHT, which takes into account fuel consumption and performance output in terms of driving quality, but the fuel saving ability is not as good as song PLUS DM-i.
If you refer to the cost performance, the Song PLUS DM-i four-wheel drive version is not the preferred model, its two-wheel drive version is the main sales model, and the two-wheel drive version of the motor power is divided into 132kW and 145kW, the zero hundred acceleration of the two power models is 8.5 seconds and 7.9 less, and the loss of power and fuel consumption is 4.4L and 4.5L, respectively. In fact, no matter which fuel consumption value, compared to latte DHT's NEDC fuel consumption value of 4.9L is much stronger.

Writing this, everyone should have a more objective understanding of Song PLUS DM-i and latte DHT, and the configuration is actually not bad as a domestic car. Power and fuel consumption are the biggest differences between the two cars, and of course, pure electric mileage is also the difference. If you use a car in a big city such as Guangzhou and Shenzhen, there is no doubt that Song PLUS DM-i is a better choice, and Song PLUS DM-i is also exempt from purchase tax.
If you pay attention to fuel consumption, power performance, it seems that latte DHT does not have any advantage, in general, song PLUS DM-i advantage is too obvious. Frankly speaking, latte DHT has advantages over the same class of fuel vehicles, but compared to song PLUS DM-i does not seem to have any advantages, what do you think?
