As we all know, due to the country's strong support for new energy models, major domestic car companies have participated in this track. However, unlike those new car-making forces, the first-line manufacturers of domestic brands have focused on new energy on plug-in hybrid - PHEV models.
Compared with pure electric models, the advantages of PHEV are self-evident, not only can be charged to achieve pure electric driving, but also can refuel, to achieve hybrid power, so for those who are not very convenient to charge, very practical. And Great Wall Motors has launched a new PHEV model, Mocha DHT-PHEV, today we will see how this model performs?
In terms of model and price, mocha DHT-PHEV offers two model configurations, priced at 295,000 yuan and 315,000 yuan respectively. As can be seen from the name, this model is mainly focused on the pain point of 0 anxiety of new energy.
In terms of appearance, the MOCHA DHT-PHEV is not much different from the previous Mocha, and still uses an atmospheric and stylish design style. The hexagonal central mesh with the dot-matrix grille reflects the visual sense of a high-end car.
In terms of body size, the Mocha DHT-PHEV has a length, width and height of 4875/1960/1690mm, and a wheelbase of 2915mm, positioning itself as a medium-sized SUV.
The headlights all use the LED light source, and at the same time, like the LED's daily running lights, adaptive near and far lights, automatic headlights, and headlights delayed off the new standard. High-end models can also choose laser headlights.
In the body color section, the new car offers five body colors of caramel black, ice cream silver, blue mountain blue, sugar cube white and vanilla blue.
In the tire part, the low-end smart version is equipped with 235/55 R20-inch tires, and the high-end performance version is equipped with 265/45 R21-inch tires.
In the power part, the new car is equipped with a plug-in hybrid system composed of a 1.5T engine and an electric motor, in which the maximum power of the engine is 115 kW, and the transmission system is matched with a 2-speed DHT transmission. Among them, the smart version adopts a single motor system, the total power of the motor is 130kW, the pure electric endurance is 204km, and the feed fuel consumption is 5.55L/100km; the four-wheel drive version adopts the dual motor system of the front and rear motors, the total power of the motor is 265kW, and it has the ability to accelerate 0-100km/h in 4.8s, the pure electric endurance is 175km, and the fuel consumption is 6.3L/100km.
Inside the car, the interior design of the Mocha DHT-PHEV is also very technological. The two-frame steering wheel is stylish, the three-screen car system also has a relatively rich function, and the 14.6-inch central control screen integrates the main car functions.
Let's take a look at the configuration level of mocha DHT-PHEV.
In fact, the configuration of the two models is minimal, but the difference in power is dominant. The new car offers main passenger seat airbags, front side airbags, front and rear head airbags, knee airbags, tire pressure display, ESP body stabilization system, active driver assistance system, front and rear radar, 360° panoramic image, reversing side warning, full-speed adaptive cruise, driving mode switching, automatic parking, openable panoramic sunroof, electric induction trunk, Bluetooth key, hidden door handles, keyless entry and start, leather multi-function steering wheel, steering wheel heating, 9.2-inch full LCD instrument, Hud head-up display, front mobile phone wireless charging, leather seats, front seat heating, ventilation and massage, driver's seat memory, 14.6 + 9-inch central control screen, YanfeiLishi 12 speaker audio, far and near LED headlights, interior mood lights, automatic air conditioning, rear seat air outlet, car purifier, etc.
From the perspective of the configuration of the vehicle, it can be said that it is extremely rich, whether it is a configuration that can be used daily or not, this model is basically equipped, so users who choose Mocha DHT-PHEV do not have to be entangled in the configuration.
In addition to the difference in power system between the two models, the smart version and the performance version, only the performance version uses larger tires, and the driving mode has an off-road mode. The configuration is basically the same in other aspects.
The advantage of Mocha DHT-PHEV is that it is fully configured and has strong endurance, especially compared with those models on the market with a pure electric endurance of about 100km, mocha DHT-PHEV can reach a pure electric endurance of more than 200 kilometers, which is obviously more advantageous.
However, here is also an analysis of the market prospects of Mocha DHT-PHEV. Although the advantages of this model are obvious enough, the excessive price still makes people worry about the prospects of this car.
Take the same medium-sized SUV, the main competitor Tang DM-i, its 112km endurance of the premium price of only 202,800 yuan, more than 90,000 lower than the low-end model of the Mocha DHT-PHEV, although the endurance is indeed worse, the overall configuration is not as good as the new car of the Mocha, but the price of the Tang DM-i and the reputation accumulated in the market are incomparable to the Mocha.
Plug-in hybrid models like the Japanese Rongfang and CR-V are also direct competitors of the Mocha DHT-PHEV. As we all know, domestic brands have always been competing with medium-sized SUVs and joint venture compact SUVs, and Rongfang, CR-V plug-in hybrid models, the price of low-end versions has fallen below 250,000 yuan, plus Toyota Honda's hybrid technology has gained a firm foothold in the market, so it is indeed difficult to succeed in coming up with new technologies and mocha DHT-PHEV, which has no advantage in price.
However, the flaws are not hidden, the progress of domestic manufacturers in technology is still very gratifying, for the Mocha DHT-PHEV, we are also cautiously optimistic, I wish it better and better.
