Long-distance travel or daily commuting, qin plus how much fuel consumption is exactly

Tramway news: The latest sales data shows that BYD Qin PLUS sold 22,508 units in February, ranking third in the sales list of all categories of cars. As a new energy vehicle, Qin PLUS has entered the hinterland of fuel vehicles, competed head-on with a number of traditional fuel cars, and achieved an advantageous position.

Qin PLUS can have such an excellent market performance thanks to the continuous hot sales of Qin PLUS DM-i models, terminal sales data show that 98% of Qin PLUS's sales in February are DM-i models. And since August last year, Qin PLUS has sold more than 20,000 vehicles per month for 6 consecutive months, which fully demonstrates the high recognition of consumers for this car.

Qin PLUS DM-i focuses on fuel economy, under the blessing of BYD's super hybrid technology, the official feed fuel consumption data is 3.8L/100km. In order to verify the authenticity of the fuel consumption data, we recently got a test drive of the Qin PLUS DM-i 120km flagship model to see the real fuel consumption level of this car.

Highway + violent driving + full charge = 4.1L/100km

First of all, the basic conditions, driving the whole 88km, mainly for the highway section, the air conditioning is turned on at 23 ° C, and there are 4 adults in the car.

When the vehicle starts, the remaining pure electric mileage is 80km, that is, the state of near full power, the driving is mainly HEV +ECO mode, the whole process is almost always driven against the speed limit, and many times beyond the front of the slow car, the overtaking process occasionally switches to SPORT mode.

According to the logic of BYD's hybrid system, in the above scenarios, the system will be mainly driven by electric drive, and fuel engine will be assisted by drive. After arriving at the destination, the energy consumption data shows that the average power consumption is 5.1kWh, the average fuel consumption is 4.1L, and it can be clearly seen from the energy consumption curve that the power consumption is maintained at a high level most of the time, and the stages with high fuel consumption values are in the state of smooth roads and high speed, at this time the engine efficiency is higher, and the system automatically switches to fuel drive, but in this process, as a driver, there is no feeling.

Obviously, the fuel consumption data for this test is higher than the official data, but this is the result of the highway. At high speed, the efficiency of the fuel engine will be higher than the motor, although the BYD hybrid system defaults to electricity, but the system will automatically choose a more efficient drive mode, in the case of high motor efficiency, priority motor drive, in the case of high engine efficiency, let the engine directly drive, in the overtaking or need to accelerate rapidly under the condition of the motor and the engine to drive together.

Feed + daily commuting + normal driving = 3L/100km

The remaining battery charge before departure is 24%, that is, the feed, at this time it is impossible to manually switch to pure electric drive mode normally, and the system defaults to HEV hybrid mode.

There are 4 adults in the car, the air conditioning temperature is set to 23 ° C, except for the need to change lanes on the city expressway to manually switch to SPORT mode, all other times are NORM mode.

Before departure, the meter shows the remaining endurance of 890km, the remaining power is 24%, and the total mileage is 8804km

At the end, the meter shows that the remaining endurance is 800km, the remaining power is 23%, and the total mileage is 8883km

Driving range of 79km, using 2.9L of fuel and 0.5kWh of electricity, the meter shows a comprehensive fuel consumption of 3L/100km.

About 30% of the road section is the main road of the city, about 70% of the urban expressway, the traffic condition of the main road of the city is general congestion, in a stop-and-go state, the expressway is relatively smooth, and the traffic conditions are basically consistent with the daily commuting state of most people.

This driving is different from the driving style of the previous high-speed section, the whole speed is relatively stable, there is no rapid acceleration and rapid deceleration, because the road is relatively smooth and the vehicle traffic is orderly, the overtaking situation is much less than on the highway, and the driving habits of individual daily driving.

Driving in the urban expressway fuel consumption is up to 3.5L / 100km, this stage of the speed is relatively high, the fuel consumption value on the energy consumption curve is higher, the power consumption is negative, at this time it can be understood that the engine has residual energy in the process of driving the vehicle, which is used to charge the battery.

Finally, after passing through a slightly congested urban trunk road, the combined fuel consumption is 3L/100km when it comes to the destination parking lot.

The two fuel consumption tests can reflect the fuel consumption level in the holiday travel and daily commuting state, and it is worth noting that the environment of both driving is more stringent, such as if the highway is not frequently changed lanes and overtakes and accelerates several times, the fuel consumption will certainly be lower. When simulating daily commuting mode, fuel consumption will be lower if the vehicle is not in the feed state. It can be said that the actual fuel consumption value of these two times is the level that everyone can drive in the process of daily use of the car.

Finally, let's talk about personal feelings, Qin PLUS DM-i is a new energy vehicle that can be oiled and electric, with a comprehensive mileage of nearly 1200km in the state of full oil and full power, and there is no endurance anxiety in the process of using the car. And the two versions of the model pure electric endurance are 55km and 120km, only pure electric endurance has been able to meet the daily commuting needs of most people. In the process of using the car in ordinary times, you can take the daily commute to use electricity, and the long-distance travel is mixed with oil and electricity, and the cost of the car is squeezed to the extreme.
