Starting at 0:00 on March 4, domestic No. 92 gasoline generally entered the "8 yuan era", and it is reported that on March 17, refined oil products will usher in a new round of upward adjustment, and may even directly enter the "9 yuan era". The soaring oil price makes every pure fuel vehicle owner quite "flesh pain", especially after the weather becomes warmer, many car owners, including the author, choose public transportation to travel, and can not drive without driving. However, new energy vehicles, especially the owners of green-brand hybrid vehicles who are both fuel-efficient and not afraid to run long distances, have behaved particularly calmly, speaking in a loud voice on social platforms & online forums.
Starting in 2022, the rise in oil prices + carbon neutrality will further force the technological innovation of car companies, and the electrification process of various brand products has also begun to accelerate in an all-round way, listed & unlisted, cars & SUVs, blue cards & green cards, TA are using hybrid technology to "hedge" oil price increases.
● BYD DM-i
▲Models involved: Song MAX DM-i, Destroyer 05, Han DM-i
In recent years, the most popular domestic car is bydir's new energy vehicle family, especially the DM-i super hybrid series has been widely recognized by young users, in 2021, the brand passenger car sales of 730,093 units, of which 593,745 new energy vehicles, accounting for more than 80%. It is no exaggeration to say that BYD has completed the electrification transformation of the company ahead of schedule, which toyota, Volkswagen and other global car companies have failed to do.
Starting in 2022, BYD will also launch a number of green card plug-in hybrid vehicles equipped with DM-i super hybrid technology, such as the Song MAX DM-i, which has been listed, with an official guidance price of 14.58-17.58 million yuan and a loss of 4.4L/100km of power and fuel consumption, which will become one of the "most capable players" in the home MPV market. On March 17, the first plug-in hybrid vehicle of Ocean Network - Destroyer 05 will also be officially listed, as a shell replacement of Qin PLUS DM-i, the guidance price of this car is expected to be 120,000-150,000 yuan, which is also highly suitable for young people's definition and demand for cost-effective "buying vegetable cars".
In addition, the BYD Han series will also usher in the mid-term redesign in the first half of this year, in addition to the fine-tuning of the internal and external design, the biggest change of the car is the first launch of the DM-i version, equipped with the same 1.5T + EHS160 hybrid system of Tang DM-i, on the green card, in addition to stabilizing the 4-5L/100km of fuel consumption, the high-end will also use a larger capacity blade battery pack, pure electric mileage can reach 242km, which is the same price of volkswagen Passat, Pure fuel vehicles such as Buick LaCrosse are simply "dimensionality reduction blows".
● Great Wall Lemon DHT
▲Models involved: Haval H6S HEV, Macchiato DHT-PHEV, Mocha DHT-PHEV
Like BYD, Great Wall Motors also sensitively smells the development potential of the hybrid car field, in 2021 we have seen Haval H6S HEV, Macchiato DHT, latte DHT and other electrification products equipped with lemon hybrid DHT power system, the comprehensive fuel consumption is 4-5L/100km, which is half the fuel cost of pure fuel vehicles. Of course, the Great Wall hybrid vehicle listed last year is mainly oil-electric hybrid, does not support external power charging, and is on the blue card.
As the production capacity of the Honeycomb Yichuang power battery continues to rise, starting in 2022, Great Wall Motors will also fully expand the product lineup of green-brand plug-in hybrid vehicles, the most representative of which is the Mocha DHT-PHEV officially listed on March 1, as the brand flagship SUV, its guidance price has reached 295-315,000 yuan, which is much more expensive than Tang DM-i.
In order to hold the positioning and price of mocha DHT-PHEV, the Great Wall has also made sufficient money on this car, in addition to coffee intelligent interaction, advanced driving assistance, the power system is also the top hardware of lemon hybrid DHT, which can be called the "ultimate evolution". The front axle is a combination of a 1.5T engine and a DHT dual motor, with a loss of 5.55L/100km; the battery capacity is expanded to 39.67kWh, and the pure electric endurance of the front-drive version reaches 204km; the high-end axle has independent motor drive (electric four-wheel drive), and the official zero-hundred acceleration time is 4.8 seconds.
● Chery Kunpeng DHT
▲ Models involved: Tiggo 8 PLUS Kunpeng e+, Starway Wind Chasing ET-i
In the field of internal combustion engines, Chery's Kunpeng 1.6T/2.0T stands at the forefront of independent car companies and is widely recognized by users; similarly, in the field of hybrid vehicles, Chery Automobile is also committed to doing the best, so we have seen this Kunpeng hybrid DHT power system, which has been in service on two models: Tiggo 8 PLUS Kunpeng e+ (guidance price 15.18-16.58 million yuan) and Xingtu Wind Chasing ET-i (14.98-15.98 million yuan).
Including Toyota THS, BYD DM-i, such hybrid systems without independent transmissions are very fuel-efficient and fast in power response, but in the face of high-speed conditions, there is a problem of insufficient explosive power, and owners who have driven Corolla Dual Engine and Qin PLUS DM-i should have a deep understanding of this. Chery Kunpeng DHT solves this problem by focusing on structural upgrades. Taking the Tiggo 8 PLUS Kunpeng e+ as an example, the vehicle not only has an ultra-low power loss of 5.0L/100km, but also the 0-100km/h acceleration time of the front-drive version is compressed to 7 seconds.
On the basis of the traditional Japanese hybrid architecture, Chery has added three additional physical gears constructed by the gear set, and the dual motor power data is also significantly higher, and the pure electric of the single motor, the pure electricity of the dual motor, or the hybrid mode of the tube, the power can be adjusted through the physical gear before reaching the half shaft, so as to output power in the most efficient way. To put it bluntly, Kunpeng DHT's complex electromechanical coupling & power shunt module makes its pure electric economy mode cover more car scenes, and has better performance in hybrid motion mode.
● Gilly Thor H·iX
▲Models involved: Hoshigoshi L·iX, Lynk & Co 01 HEV
In fact, before BYD DM-i, Geely Automobile has applied green brand hybrid technology on many models of the brand, unfortunately, these cars have adopted the electrification of European cars, the most typical feature is that there is no cancellation of independent transmissions, such as Lynk & Co 01 PHEV, Brilliant PHEV, etc., are on the basis of the 7-speed dual-clutch transmission to add a motor. Although it is on the green card, the fuel consumption in the actual use of the car is high, so it is not widely recognized by users.
After seeing the strong market appeal of Toyota THS and BYD DM-i, Geely Automobile has also begun to turn to the electrification transformation of Japanese cars, and the newly launched Raytheon H·iX hybrid system is to replace the independent transmission with dual motor modules for electromechanical coupling, power shunting and vehicle speed control. And, like Chery Kunpeng DHT, Thor H·iX also has three physical stops, but its technical solution is a set of planetary gears, not a "gear + clutch" scheme.
The first to be equipped with the Thor hybrid system is the Geely Xingyue L H·iX, the pre-sale price of the early version is 173,700 yuan, considering the excellent material configuration and chassis quality of the Xingyue L series, its price is not expensive in the same level, but it should also be noted that this car does not support external power charging, and can only be on the blue card. The reason why the car company does this may be to take into account the lack of battery production capacity of the brand, and also to clear the inventory of the Geely/Lynk & Co De ideas that are still on sale. In addition, the declaration information of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology shows that the Lynk & Co 01 EHV equipped with the same power system has also completed the declaration, and it is expected to meet with consumers in the first half of the year.
●GAC Trumpchi THS
▲Models involved: GS8 HEV, M8 HEV
Although Trumpchi is an independent brand of Zheng'er Bajing, but backed by GAC Group, the recently listed second-generation Trumpchi GS8 or from GAC Toyota "stole" a lot of good things, the most representative is Toyota's best fourth-generation THS hybrid system, the same dual-shaft dual motor electric drive module, the same through the planetary gear power shunt, the same equipped with P4 bridge, even the power data are the same. It can be said that in addition to the engine, the second-generation GS8 HEV basically "copied" the Hybrid System of highlander dual engine.
Thanks to the technical blessing of Toyota THS, Trumpchi GS8 HEV can be regarded as a representative of the blue brand hybrid SUV, the electrified 2.0T engine with dual motors and rear axle motors, the vehicle comprehensive working conditions fuel consumption is only 5.8L/100km (electric four-wheel drive version). The same level of pure fuel seven-seat four-wheel drive SUVs, fuel consumption is generally 12L/100km, which is its core competitiveness.
Since this set of cattle X hybrid system, GAC Trumpchi naturally will not only shine on the GS8. The latest news shows that the new generation of Trumpchi M8 has begun to test, this car is the brand's fist product in the high-end MPV market, and its quality experience is widely recognized by commercial vehicle users. After the new hybrid system is replaced, the car will pose a greater threat to the Buick GL8 with more fuel economy, as for the Toyota Saina twin engine, the high price and low configuration have made this star car a bit of a "car collapse" trend.
●Summary:
Starting in 2022, hybrid will become the core keyword of the world's major car companies, in addition to the above domestic brands, Japanese Toyota THS, Honda i-MMD, Nissan e-power will also fully expand the product lineup, not only the next generation of Binzhi, the next generation of Qashqai will complete the electrification transformation, even the next generation of land patrol, the next generation of hegemony will also focus on hybrid. In less than ten years and eight years, in the next three or five years, domestic pure fuel vehicles will be completely replaced by various blue/green mixed vehicles, and the passenger car market will become a new pattern of "hybrid + pure electricity".
