In January this year, Tiggo 8 PLUS Kunpeng e+ has officially launched two models and announced its "first-hand price", namely urban e+ (151,800 yuan) and style e+ (165,800 yuan). In the first month after the announcement of the price, user orders have exceeded 3,000 vehicles, which undoubtedly shows the trend of "explosive models". On March 12, Chery Automobile's "Technology Zero Distance - Kunpeng DHT Super Hybrid & Tiggo 8 PLUS Kunpeng e+ Product Experience Exchange Meeting" landed in Guangzhou.
At the event site, Jiang Chao, deputy director of the marketing and product department of Chery Marketing Company and general manager of South China, said that Chery has always adhered to independent innovation and mastered core technologies as the core driving force for the establishment of enterprises and enterprise development, and Kunpeng DHT super hybrid technology represents Chery's adherence and dedication to technology.
Kunpeng DHT "Cow" is here
Chery, which is based on technology, has made many breakthroughs in key core technologies over the past 20 years. At the 2021 Shanghai Auto Show, the Kunpeng DHT Super Hybrid made a stunning appearance and won the attention of the industry. So, where exactly is its "cow"?
According to reports, as a national new energy technology project, the world's first full-featured hybrid configuration Kunpeng DHT platform fully integrated oil/electricity/hydrogen hybrid system matches all current energy forms and can meet the needs of all scenarios of users. Its first application model, the Tiggo 8 PLUS Kunpeng e+, also has four core advantages, such as 3-speed, 3-speed, 9-mode, 11-speed full-scene mode, acceleration of breaking five, pure electricity super 100, and fuel saving breaking of the first.
So what does "3 Engine 3 Gear 9 Mode 11 Speed" contain? Among them, "3 engines" refers to the Kunpeng DHT super hybrid using a 1.5T hybrid special engine + dual motors to form a power source, and can realize the simultaneous drive of dual motors, simultaneous power generation, the maximum input torque of 510 Nm. "3 gears" refers to the Kunpeng DHT super hybrid with 3 physical gears, with dual motor collaboration, can bring higher efficiency, but also can cope with more working conditions, to achieve a balance between power and fuel consumption.
"9 mode 11 speed" is this system with 9 working modes and 11 combined gears, including single motor pure electric mode, dual motor pure electric mode, series increase range mode, engine direct drive mode, parallel drive mode, parking charging mode, driving charging mode, single motor brake energy recovery, dual motor brake recovery. Intelligent switching between 9 modes to achieve 11 combined gears, covering different car scenes such as starting, medium and low speed, elevated, overtaking, red light, congestion, highway, long-distance travel, mountain road, high-speed steering, ice/mud/sand and gravel.
All-scene champion player
At the event, after learning about the highlights of Kunpeng DHT super hybrid technology, the next step was to test drive the TIGGO 8 PLUS Kunpeng e+ equipped with DHT super hybrid technology, and we also conducted a multi-party interview driving experience combined with the life car scenario.
The most common driving state is that the normal low-speed driving motor is directly driven, similar to a pure tram, 100 km of endurance can basically meet the travel needs, high-speed driving is directly driven by the 1.5T internal combustion engine, overtaking acceleration of the internal combustion engine and dual motors are starting to work, the maximum power is 326 horsepower, the peak torque is 565Nm, in the case of 153 kg more weight than the 2.0T fuel version, the power improvement is obvious, that is, low-speed driving without fuel, high-speed overtaking is more powerful.
In the face of some muddy and complex sections, the overall performance of the Tiggo 8 PLUS Kunpeng edition can also be satisfactory. Stabilizing the throttle to advance can clearly feel the direct and smooth power output, and there is no slippage in the middle, which can be easily passed. Even when driving on steep unpaved slopes for a long time, there is no case of power decay caused by overheating of the gearbox. This is still of certain reference significance for consumers who travel far or want to go bad.
In terms of transmission, compared with the general single-speed power distributor (E-CVT), the DHT three-speed transmission adopts the traditional gear structure instead of the solar wheel power distribution, which is connected to the 1.5T internal combustion engine, which can make the internal combustion engine more efficient at medium speed, and Geely has also adopted this technology. But the difference is that Geely has a short endurance, and Chery is equipped with a larger 19.27kwh battery, which can be charged directly with a charging pile, with a range of 100 kilometers, meeting the green card standard.
Equipped with a hybrid-specific APP
In addition to the powerful Kunpeng DHT hybrid system, the intelligence and health performance of the Tiggo 8 PLUS Kunpeng e+ is also a leader in the same class. The self-developed car machine system "Xiaoqi" intelligent car butler, on the basis of having many functions such as AI face recognition, multi-screen interaction, voice interaction, etc., has updated version 3.0, adding 3 standby avatars and 4 weather states, and pre-installed a special APP for hybrid models, which can monitor the energy flow dynamics in real time.
The hybrid model special APP can be charged through the car machine and mobile phone APP, make an appointment for travel, start the air conditioner in advance in the cold winter, double engine heating for 10 minutes to quickly heat up, 6 minutes of rapid cooling in summer, the temperature is just right when getting on the car; intelligent power replenishment can prevent the battery from deeply losing power, prolong the battery life, and park for a long time still start freely; while matching high-efficiency batteries and motors, Kunpeng e+ is also the first to be equipped with Bosch's latest IPB intelligent electric control system, safe braking, comfortable braking, Energy recovery has reached the most optimal, the comprehensive fuel consumption of 100 kilometers is 1.0L, and the fuel consumption of the lost power is 5.0L, and the more you run, the more you save.
At the same time, Chery has not slackened in terms of health, Tiggo 8 PLUS Kunpeng e+ all vehicles adopt European standard environmental protection processes and materials, while using RICSCS remote active cockpit self-cleaning system, which can effectively filter ≥0.3μm particles / germs, can automatically turn on the air conditioner when about 15 meters away from the vehicle, the maximum air volume for air exchange in the car, optimize the vehicle due to high temperature exposure, long-term parking may produce odors, and ensure the air quality in the car.
epilogue
Fuel-saving and smooth car quality, more and more become the focus of consumers to buy a car, hybrid system with the help of long endurance characteristics, users also began to find that plug-in models are the "fragrant food" in the electric field. The Tiggo 8 PLUS Kunpeng e+ has delivered a satisfactory answer sheet in the hybrid technology, and the product power also has the potential to explode, and even can sit on an equal footing with the mainstream plug-and-mix models. It is believed that with the launch of Tiggo 8 PLUS Kunpeng e+, it will add "Kunpeng Power" to the Tiggo 8 series and help Chery Automobile open a new era of champions in the auto market in 2022.
