In the past two days, the plug-in hybrid car market has appeared another outstanding spoiler, his pure electric mileage can reach 103km, comprehensive fuel consumption of 1L/100km, loss of power fuel consumption of 4.8L/100km, 100 km acceleration only 6.8S, then where is he sacred?
On March 2, Xingtu Wind Chasing ET-i was officially listed, and the new car launched a total of two versions, Yufengxing and Riding the Wind, with a price of 149,800 yuan and 159,800 yuan after comprehensive subsidies, providing "Li Taibai", "Sima Gray" and "Ji Xiaolan" three appearance colors. One thing to say, these body painting names are still a bit interesting, at least when I first heard the naming, I was attracted.
ET-i Hybrid System: Different, change if you want
Let's talk about the key points, since the StarWay Wind Chasing ET-i is a plug-in hybrid model, then everyone is most concerned about this ET-i hybrid system.
First of all, the entire power system of Xingtu Wind Chasing ET-i is composed of a 1.5T engine and 2 drive motors, this hybrid system has a comprehensive maximum power of 326 horsepower, and a comprehensive maximum torque of 510N·m. Compared with the current mainstream plug-in hybrid models in China, the hybrid system of Xingtu Chasing WIND ET-i has advantages, and he is the only model in the current domestic automotive market equipped with three intelligent combinations of power sources.
The biggest highlight of this hybrid system is in the "changeable", it has 9 working modes, in different car scenarios, can intelligently switch single motor drive, dual motor drive, tandem range, brake charging, parking charging and other 9 working modes, anytime, anywhere, "want to change", covering starting, low and medium speed, elevated, overtaking, red light, congestion, highway, long-distance travel, mountain road, high-speed steering, ice / mud / sand and other 11 kinds of driving road conditions.
According to the driving environment of the vehicle, the hybrid system matches different road conditions in the most suitable and efficient mode to ensure the smoothness, power and fuel economy of the vehicle.
In addition, the Wind Chaser ET-i uses 3 physical gears, which is the only one in the market for the same class and even the entire plug-in model. 1 gear ratio is large, mainly used to start and speed up; 3 gear ratio is small, can make the engine at low speed running, play a role in energy saving; and 2 gear plays a role in carrying up and down, mainly to ensure the smoothness of gear change. In short, the design of 3 physical gears can make the vehicle better adapt to different working conditions and achieve the purpose of energy saving.
In general, the power performance of this power system is very good, the most critical is to "cut the door", very good at living, I feel that every drop of power can not be wasted. I think it is precisely because of the "key" that the fuel consumption of the Xingtu Wind Chasing ET-i can reach 4.8L/100km, and the comprehensive fuel consumption is as low as 1L/100km.
Feel free to be bold, and leave the rest to ET-i
In the actual test drive process, encountering the situation that the road is relatively congested and slow, the wind chasing ET-i will adopt a single motor pure electric drive mode, driving up is the feeling of pure electric vehicles, driving is very brisk, and very quiet. If you encounter a red light low-speed braking, parking, the vehicle is in a single motor braking energy recovery and parking charging state during this process.
From the somatic point of view, if the energy recovery level is adjusted to 1st gear, the entire brake recovery process is very natural, almost no sense of drag, only on the dashboard can see that the battery is in a charged state.
In addition, when the start of the deep throttle to accelerate sharply, at this time is the dual motor pure electric drive, the acceleration is very rapid, very linear. If you continue to press the accelerator, the engine will intervene immediately, and the whole intervention process is still silky, almost invisible. If you step on the brake deeply, this time is the dual motor brake energy recovery, the whole process feels not very abrupt, there is no too strong drag feeling.
After the high speed, it is generally the state of the engine direct drive, and the motor is ready to recover the braking energy at any time. If it is in the overtaking, lane change, etc. need to accelerate, the motor will also intervene in the auxiliary to ensure sufficient power when the vehicle is accelerated. To be honest, after the speed to 100km/h, continue to press the accelerator, the vehicle still has a strong acceleration undertone.
Although the Star Wind Chasing ET-i hybrid system has 9 working modes, it will not be obvious in the driving process what kind of working mode it is in, and only by opening the hybrid display in the central control screen can you intuitively see what the engine and gearbox are doing.
There's a saying: You just step on the gas and the rest is left to quattro. Here in the Star Trail Wind Chasing ET-i, you just have to be assured and bold, and the rest is handed over to this hybrid system, fuel consumption, power, and smoothness will definitely not disappoint you.
At last:
Compared with other plug-in hybrid SUV models at the same price, the Starway Wind Chasing ET-i does not have a long and short pure electric mileage, but a pure electric mileage of 105km in the whole series. If you commute to and from work every day, pure electric mode can fully cope; if you need to drive long distances, you can get oil and electricity, and there is no battery life anxiety. Moreover, the star-way wind chasing ET-i can exceed 1000km in the case of full power and full fuel. In other words, for long-distance driving within 1,000 kilometers, there is no need to replenish fuel or electricity in the middle.
As an independent high-end brand model, the price of Xingtu Chasing Wind ET-i is not "high", but at the same time with excellent product strength, it faces the market with the price of ordinary brand plug-in and mixed models, so its market performance is very worth looking forward to.
