Oil prices soared, and fuel car owners said they "couldn't eat it." The cost of driving pure electric travel is the lowest, but problems such as charging pile installation and range anxiety have not been properly solved. Is there a compromise that saves fuel and has no endurance anxiety? The answer, of course, is "yes."
With the continuous improvement of car manufacturing technology, hybrid technology has become increasingly mainstream. At present, there are gasoline-electric hybrid models represented by "Two Fields", there are also plug-in hybrid models that can be recharged and refueled, and there is also a range-extended power model represented by the ideal car of the new car-making force. Since the gasoline-electric hybrid model is classified as an "energy-saving car", the fuel consumption performance is higher than that of plug-in hybrid models and extended-range models, and if your goal is a fuel-efficient new energy vehicle, then it is not in the scope of consideration.
That being the case, what should we choose between the only two plug-in hybrids and range-extended range vehicles? The actual measurement comparison has more right to speak, this time, The Brother got the representative players of the two camps, so that the Wei brand Mocha DHT-PHEV and the ideal ONE compete on the same stage, and who is the "ceiling" of the 0 anxiety intelligent electric is immediately known.
Power/endurance/fuel consumption competition, who wins?
For potential car buyers, the power, endurance and fuel consumption performance of the two cars are almost the most decisive purchasing factors. Once the anxiety of fuel saving and endurance is met, coupled with excellent power performance, the choice is also a matter of moments. Therefore, we put the most important content in the first half by comparing the actual measurements.
First of all, let's introduce the basic situation of the two cars, one is the Wei brand Mocha DHT-PHEV 0 anxiety performance version, which is priced at 315,000 yuan after subsidy; the other is the ideal ONE 2020 extended range 6-seat version, which is priced at 328,000 yuan after subsidy. Weipai Mocha DHT-PHEV was officially launched in March this year, and the ideal ONE has been listed for nearly three years and has grown into a top student of large SUVs in the new energy vehicle market, and the strength of both cannot be underestimated.
From the book data, the WLC pure electric mileage of the two models is 20 kilometers apart. Based on a daily commute of 30 kilometers, the MOCHA DHT-PHEV can be charged once a week, which is properly convenient. The ideal ONE needs to be charged in the middle of the week. Interestingly, the ideal ONE of the 2021 model also reduced its WLC pure electric range to 130 km. Although it is not clear what the meaning behind the ideal car's move is not clear, for users, the shrinking endurance has a greater impact on their number of charges and commuting distance.
The ideal ONE, which failed in the pure electric mileage competition, also failed to achieve a lead in fuel consumption performance. If you choose the long-endurance version of the Mocha DHT-PHEV, its fuel consumption for 100 kilometers is as low as 5.55L. In addition, the Wei brand Mocha DHT-PHEV, which only needs to add No. 92 oil, will be better than the ideal ONE in terms of car cost. After all, the current oil price of No. 95 oil is already unattainable, and it is about to touch the ceiling oil price.
The process of test driving the Wei brand Mocha DHT-PHEV 0 Anxiety Performance Edition is like driving a performance beast, its zero hundred acceleration is only 4.8 seconds, and the push back feeling is full. It is not only equipped with a 1.5T engine with a maximum power of 115kW, but also an electronically controlled four-wheel drive system composed of engine + dual motors, and the power performance is quite outstanding. According to The Brother, this 1.5T engine won the title of "China's Top Ten Engines", using the same Miller cycle technology as Audi and Lexus, and its matching gearbox has also won the title of "World's Top Ten Transmissions", which can be called "Golden Powertrain".
Driving the ideal ONE can feel that this is a model for home use, due to the lighter gas pedal setting, the steering force is more gentle, easy to drive, comfortable, is the biggest impression of the ideal ONE. Obviously, if you're looking for driving pleasure and power performance, then the Weipai Mocha DHT-PHEV 0 Anxiety Performance Edition will be the best choice.
Is smart DHT hybrid technology a watershed?
The two cars use different technologies, so the driving experience, endurance, fuel consumption and other aspects are quite different. So, let's dive into the differences between the two technical routes.
First of all, let's talk about the more excellent Performance Wei brand Mocha DHT-PHEV. Weipai Mocha DHT-PHEV is equipped with intelligent DHT hybrid technology, using a dual-motor hybrid topology, under one system can achieve electric, hybrid two power modes, hybrid mode can be realized EV, hybrid mode can achieve EV, hybrid, two-stop direct drive, energy recovery and other working modes.
Through actual measurements, it can also be found that the Mocha DHT-PHEV basically relies on electric drive to drive in the initial stage, and the front mid-section is accelerated quickly and the power response is direct. In the high-speed section, the two-stop design advantage is outstanding, when the speed exceeds 80 yards, it will enter the high-speed gear, if necessary, all the power units will carry out power output at the same time to achieve the strongest state of power output. It is worth mentioning that in addition to being able to switch between EV and HEV, Mocha DHT-PHEV also provides 7 conventional driving modes such as standard, economy, sports, snow, four-wheel drive, mud, sand, etc., as well as special modes such as car wash/trailer and wading, and the humanized design is very added.
The ideal ONE uses range-extending technology, with electric vehicles as standard motors and batteries, as well as conventional cars' fuel engines, as well as additional generators. This 1.2T three-cylinder engine has a maximum power of 96kW and exists as a range extender without directly driving the vehicle, its task is to charge the electric and drive the motor.
In contrast, the Mocha DHT-PHEV uses parallel drive mode at medium and high speeds, and the acceleration and fuel consumption performance are better. The ideal one can only use series acceleration, and the fuel consumption is not low. Of course, the tandem has advantages in terms of efficiency compared to parallel at lower loads. Therefore, on the whole, the intelligent DHT hybrid technology equipped with Mocha DHT-PHEV has a certain leading position.
No intelligence, no electric, straight to the pain point to know the "true fragrance"
Because the price and positioning of the two cars are very close, and the target consumer groups are also tending to be consistent, in addition to the test drive experience, Brother Reed also compared the intelligent configuration and riding experience of the two cars one by one.
For example, in terms of intelligent configuration, Mocha DHT-PHEV is fully embedded in the NOH intelligent pilot driver assistance system hardware, car navigation, high-precision map and HWA high-speed driver assistance system integration. As long as you enter the address, you can realize the intelligent pilot assistance from point A to point B. Surprisingly, the vehicle can also automatically turn on the turn signal according to the navigation information, saving a step and solving the unsafe driving behavior of some "lazy drivers". After entering the highway section, the driver will be reminded to take over the vehicle before entering the ramp by dialing the adaptive cruise lever, and the vehicle will automatically turn on the lights and change lanes, and remind the driver to take over the vehicle before entering the ramp. After experiencing it, I have to sigh the advanced nature of Weipai in intelligent technology.
Of course, the ideal ONE is not inferior, and under the blessing of ADAS advanced driver assistance system, intelligent lane changes can also be realized. However, the turn signals need to be turned on before the system detects the road conditions and overtakes in time.
In addition, mocha DHT-PHEV compared to the ideal ONE also adds facial recognition /fatigue driving reminder function, HUD head-up display function, streaming media rearview mirror, children's legacy monitoring and so on. Although its HUD function still has room to optimize in terms of display effect, its intelligent configuration is indeed slightly better, and its practicality is also stronger.
In terms of ride comfort, Rudder believes that the MOCHA DHT-PHEV performs better, and has the comfort of sitting on a large sofa. The leather wrapping and leather seats with diamond-shaped lattice also give a more upscale feel.
The ideal ONE with six seats was once the ideal new energy vehicle for many people. However, the mocha DHT-PHEV has changed this situation after the listing, whether it is 0 battery life anxiety, low fuel consumption, high performance, or smart technology and luxury configuration, the latter has the strength to surpass the opponent.
