When consumers are painstakingly considering how to save fuel and improve long endurance, car companies have handed over satisfactory answers for consumers, that is, "hybrid". However, there are also doorways inside the hybrid, and the entry-level model provides a 48V motor, which can only help the engine start more smoothly. A higher level, that is, the so-called oil-electric and plug-in hybrid systems, such as the latte DHT listed some time ago, and the Hoshigoku L Thor hybrid version.
It is precisely because consumers need such models more, so on March 2, Xingtu Chasing Wind ET-i was officially listed, another plug-in hybrid model was born, and gave a subsidy price of 149,800 yuan and 159,800 yuan, so what is the difference between it and the previous Geely Thor hybrid system and latte's DHT?
First of all, look at the appearance part, the StarWay Wind Chasing ET-i is almost no different from the fuel version of the previously listed model, using a combination of through-type headlights and taillights, or looks more outstanding.
On the left side of the front fender, we can see that it is equipped with a more iconic charging interface, and according to the official description, the Starway Wind Chasing ET-i only supports slow charging. At present, although some plug-in hybrids are also slow charging, there are also a small number of fast charging interfaces, to be honest, if you can be equipped with fast charging interfaces, the efficiency is still very high.
In terms of interior, there is no doubt that the design of the fuel version is continued, the two 12.3-inch double screen visual effect is very good, the overall black is mainly black, there will be red stitching in the details, although the texture is good, but the interior atmosphere is slightly dull.
However, the configuration of part of the star chasing wind ET-i is still very thick, the standard configuration of the whole series is very rich, there are panoramic sunroofs, LED headlights, automatic air conditioning and multimedia systems, these functions are our most commonly used functions in daily life. As a hybrid model after BYD DM-i, Latte DHT and Hoshigoku L Raytheon Hybrid, as well as Changan iDD, its power is equipped with a combination of a 1.5T four-cylinder engine + 2 electric motors, its maximum power and maximum torque are 240kW, 510N·m, and the acceleration of 100 kilometers takes only 6.8 seconds, or it still has a good performance.
Secondly, let's look at its "black technology", the transmission efficiency of the power system can reach 97.6%, equipped with a CRBS energy recovery system that is rare at this level, and the kinetic energy recovery can be carried out when decelerating. Thanks to this, its pure electric endurance can reach 105km, and the comprehensive endurance can exceed 1000km.
In terms of fuel consumption, the comprehensive fuel consumption of Starway Wind Chasing ET-i can reach 100 km 1L, and in the feed state, it reaches 4.8L, which is between latte DHT and Xingyue L Thor Hybrid Edition, which is a more mainstream level.
In addition, the Star Trail ET-i is equipped with a three-speed DHT transmission, which has one more gear than the latte's two-gear DHT, which can provide up to 9 working modes and a combination of 11 gears, ensuring power and further improving fuel economy.
At present, in addition to the latte DHT, Xingyue L Thor hybrid and Changan UNI-K iDD, the hybrid models of this level on the market are counted as this Star-way Wind Chasing ET-i, but its price is much lower than the first three models, and the comprehensive strength is not lost to them, if you have a budget of 150,000, will you choose it?
