Industry insiders predict that March 17, 24:00 will usher in a new round of price increases, taking ordinary private cars as an example, filling a tank of oil will cost about 40 yuan more than before, "95 full, ruined" will soon become a true portrayal of some car owners.
The "curse" is not alone, the price of oil has risen, and the price of trams has also increased. As of March 17, in addition to Tesla's price increase of up to 30,000 yuan in 5 days and twice, More than 20 new energy vehicle companies such as Weilai, Xiaopeng, Nezha, GAC Aian, Feifan, BYD, Euler, SAIC-GM-Wuling, Volkswagen, Zero Run, Extreme Krypton, Geometry, Ford, Weima, and Roewe have announced price increases, almost including most of the mainstream models in the market.
With the rise in the cost of raw materials for pure electric vehicle models, the gradual decline of new energy subsidies, and the sharp rise in oil prices, the cost advantages of hybrid models have been reflected.
It is worth noting that plug-in hybrid models are popular. In the first two months of this year, the growth rate of plug-in hybrid vehicles was significantly higher than that of pure electric vehicles, with production and sales of 168,000 units and 160,000 units respectively, an increase of 2.8 times and 2.5 times year-on-year, respectively.
Buy the right "95 full", buy the wrong "ruined"
In the case of high oil prices, buying a plug-in hybrid car to save fuel money seems to be a very wise move, but not all plug-in hybrid models are fuel-efficient and worry-free, especially the NEDC fuel consumption of plug-in hybrid models, often and the actual fuel consumption is very large, consumers often buy a car when they have a big head.
Therefore, today we refer to the 2021 China automobile fuel consumption ranking data released by Xiao Bear Fuel Consumption, and in these data from real car owners, we can find out which are fuel-saving experts and which are "oil tigers".
Compact sedan
We can see that in the compact sedan, there are 5 plug-in hybrid models, of which Qin PLUS fuel consumption is 4.56L, and Roewe i6 MAX new energy has a huge gap of 1.48L.
According to the latest sales data, 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.
The Qin PLUS DM-i focuses on fuel economy, and with the blessing of BYD's super hybrid technology, the official feeder fuel consumption data is 3.8L/100km. The comprehensive cruising range is nearly 1200km in the state of full oil and full power, and there will be no endurance anxiety during the use of the car.
Medium-sized sedan
In the mid-size sedan camp, there are 3 plug-in hybrid models, of which the Passat new energy fuel consumption is 5.47L, and the Maiteng GTE plug-in hybrid version of the power system and the Passat new energy are exactly the same, so the data is almost the same, 5.77L.
As a new energy vehicle, passat PHEV not only has a more stable and smooth driving experience, but also a zero hundred acceleration time of 7.7 seconds is even faster than the Passat part of the 2.0T model, and most importantly, lower fuel consumption can also bring cheaper car maintenance costs.
In contrast, Geely Borui New Energy 6.22L has little advantage in terms of fuel consumption, but the appearance and interior quality are better than the same class of models, and the configuration is rich, suitable for most people's needs. So, would you rather choose one with low fuel consumption or one with high configuration?
Medium and large luxury brand cars
Volvo S90 New Energy, BMW 5 Series New Energy, and Audi A6L New Energy (Four Wheel Drive), which are also medium and large luxury brands, do not have much gap in fuel consumption performance.
Volvo S90 New Energy is equipped with a plug-in hybrid system composed of 2.0T turbocharging and electric motors, and the maximum power of the engine has been increased to 310 hp and the peak torque is 400 Nm. Although the power system of the Audi A6L plug-in hybrid, which is also a luxury brand, is also composed of a 2.0T turbocharged and an electric motor, its maximum engine power of 252 horsepower is still slightly insufficient compared to Volvo.
From the perspective of product strength alone, it seems that Volvo S90 has more advantages, in addition to excellent safety performance, it has also shown excellent strength in terms of comfort configuration, especially after the remodeling, there is a further improvement in power and endurance, which makes Volvo S90 new energy show stronger comprehensive strength.
Compact SUV
In the price range of Song PLUS DM-i, it used to be the territory of joint venture fuel vehicles such as rival CRV, Rongfang (RAV4), Tiguan L, and Tanyue. With lower prices than traditional fuel vehicles, more advanced hybrid systems, oilable and electric car experience and balanced product strength, Song PLUS DM-i continues to encroach on the share of these joint venture fuel vehicles of the same level.
The fuel consumption of Song PLUS new energy 5.27L directly hits the consumer pain point, mainly electricity, and the gasoline engine is only used as an auxiliary work. In order to achieve as low as 4.4L/100 km at a loss of power, so that the system uses as much electricity as possible and less oil, the engine focuses on efficient power generation at the best efficiency and reduces fuel consumption almost to the limit.
Medium SUV
Finally, looking at the fuel consumption performance of medium-sized SUVs, Tiguan L New Energy ranked first with 5.12L, while Denza X (four-wheel drive) was as high as 7.96L, with the highest difference in fuel consumption of 2.84L.
From the perspective of power, the Tiguan L PHEV is equipped with a 1.4T 150 hp L4 engine, which is equipped with a 6-speed wet dual-clutch transmission and a maximum speed of 200 km/h. With the landing of the two-child and three-child policy, medium-sized SUVs have become the first choice for many families, considering economic issues, if you want to have a higher cost performance, then Tiguan L PHEV is more suitable for you. Denza X is definitely not recommended.
High oil prices wake up the king of "pretending to sleep"
"Mainland new energy vehicles have formed a substitution effect on the fuel vehicle market, and the continuous rise in oil prices will accelerate this process." Cui Dongshu, secretary general of the National Passenger Car Market Information Association, said that high oil prices have made many car buyers more inclined to choose new energy vehicles, and some consumers may choose more plug-in hybrid or pure electric vehicles in the choice of purchasing fuel vehicles and electric vehicles.
Last year, BYD's plug-in models accounted for nearly half of BYD's new energy sales. In 2021, BYD's market share of plug-in hybrid vehicles will be in the dust, and in 2022, other independent car companies will also launch models equipped with a new generation of hybrid systems. From the sales volume of specific car companies, BYD has become the leader of the domestic plug-in and hybrid market with the volume of DM-i series in 2021, with a far leading market share, according to BYD's announcement data, BYD plug-in hybrid vehicle sales in 2021 will exceed 270,000 units, with a market share of 45.2%.
Ideal Car sold more than 90,000 units last year, ranking second among the plug-in and mixed-model car companies, and its only model, ideal ONE, adopts a range-extending technical solution, and has become a phenomenon-level product in the plug-and-mix market by virtue of its understanding of the needs of home users.
The market continues to roll in, and the Changan UNI-K iDD, which was launched in March this year, as the first plug-in hybrid model of Changan Automobile, has a comprehensive cruising range of 1100km and a fuel consumption of 0.8L per 100 km; mocha DHT-PHEV has a minimum fuel consumption of 0.45L per 100 km and a fuel consumption of 5.55L for 100 km of feeder.
In addition, there are Chery Kunpeng DHT hybrid system, Geely Thundershin hybrid system and other brands of plug-and-mix models have landed, Chinese brand plug-and-mix market these "sleeping lions" are waking up, there are more and more optional hybrid models on the market, what choice will you make?
