[Aika Car Test Drive Original]
"Why are oil prices rising?" Who can stand this? Buy a bike again! Sighs and sighs like these take place in all corners of the country. Although bicycle commuting is a joke, the rise in oil prices, as well as the background of economic shocks, does have a certain impact on people's travel and life. Of course, there is also a type of people who are calm and self-assured, that is, new energy car owners. In today's popularity of new energy vehicles, especially hybrid vehicles are more powerful, and oil prices seem to be another opportunity for the rise of hybrid vehicles. Two weeks ago, after statically tasting the Geely Star-Over L Thor Hybrid Edition, I said that I was looking forward to experiencing its dynamic performance, and today, it came.
The static experience I want to succinctly summarize as "Look, it's glowing!" "Not only because the Geely brand's new digital streamer logo logo and grille sides will really glow, but also an affirmation of its trendy personality design, which really impressed me." If you are interested in the static version of the Hoshigoku L Thor Hybrid Edition, you can click on the image below to understand, there is a more detailed interpretation in the text.
According to the convention, the powertrain of the Lower Hoshigoku L Raytheon Hybrid Edition is equipped with the power structure of dhee15 hybrid engine + 2 motors + 3-speed hybrid electric drive transmission DHT Pro, the engine provides a maximum power of 110kW (150 horsepower), a maximum torque of 225Nm, and a maximum thermal efficiency of 43.32%.
Matching the engine is the 3-speed hybrid electric drive transmission DHT Pro, which, with its wide gear ratio range, keeps the engine operating in an efficient operating range and makes fuel consumption more advantageous under complex operating conditions.
Chassis suspension structure part, Hoshigoku L Raytheon Hybrid Edition adopts a combination of front McPherson type with horizontal stabilizer bar independent suspension + rear linkage with horizontal stabilizer bar independent suspension.
Understand the working logic of Raytheon hybrid technology, when the speed is below 20km/h, the vehicle preferentially chooses pure electric drive, which can not only ensure the power and smoothness of the starting and low speed domains, but also effectively improve the fuel economy of the vehicle. In the stop-and-go urban conditions, the actual driving experience of the Hoshigoku L Raytheon Hybrid Edition is almost the same as that of the pure electric model.
Limited by the small power battery capacity, only 1.8kWh, it is unrealistic to want the Hoshigoku L Raytheon Hybrid Edition to achieve a long-term and long-distance pure electric drive, so when the speed is higher than 20km/h, the engine will be driven in conjunction with the motor to ensure the continuous output of the vehicle's power performance. In addition, when the SOC is too low, the engine will also charge the power battery.
At the beginning, due to the system's pure electric drive strategy, the Hoshigoku L Raytheon Hybrid Edition can get a brisk driving experience, how much power to give, very smooth. In the middle and rear of the throttle, the response of the power can still maintain enough enthusiasm, and it can basically quickly identify and judge the intention of the driver during daily driving, and achieve a more free driving experience.
The three-gear design of the gearbox can be described as "fish and bear paws, difficult to get both", compared to the single gear transmission in the smoothness is slightly inferior, on the contrary, the economic performance will be better. Of course, there may be a few flaws in smoothness, but it will not reach the point where you will have negative emotions, and it is possible to accept it.
Hoshigoku L Raytheon Hybrid Edition provides six driving modes such as economy, comfort, sports, electric, snow and smart, and the driving experience in different modes is relatively well-done, which can well show the different personalities in different modes. In the economic model, a certain power response is sacrificed under the premise of improving fuel economy, but the overall situation does not cause obvious power response lag. Electric mode, it is not pure electric driving as the name suggests, but more inclined to use electric drive, when the SOC is low, the engine will intervene in time.
The steering of the steering wheel is light and the perception of the road sense is weak, but the sense of feedback and directivity are remarkable. Overall, the Hoshigoku L Raytheon Hybrid Edition creates a relaxed driving atmosphere.
The calibration of the chassis texture is consistent with the fuel version of the model, taking into account the comfort and tenacity, which can soften the vibration of the road surface, and can also be calmly coped with in the face of continuous speed bumps, which can also suppress the excess bouncing sensation of the vehicle while softening the shock feeling.
It is worth mentioning that the tranquility of the Hoshigoku L Thor Hybrid Edition is eye-catching, and the suppression of engine noise is in place, resulting in a low sense of existence of the engine. Wind noise can also be properly controlled, and the noise that actually passes into the interior of the cockpit is limited. However, the control of tire noise is slightly flawed, but it is not disturbing.
Dynamic feeling: relaxed and comfortable
In terms of appearance and styling, the Hoshigoku L Raytheon Hybrid Edition basically continues the overall outline and design language of the fuel version model, and injects its own unique understanding into the use of electrification elements, thus transmitting the sensory effect of avant-garde personality, and also distinguishing itself from the fuel version model.
The front face is the biggest difference between the Star-Etsu L Thor Hybrid Edition and the fuel vehicle, and the suspension array grille uses a thick chrome trim strip, which has a stronger visual three-dimensional sense and impact. The digital streamer logo logo and grille will glow on both sides, full of technology.
The design of the headlights group remains unchanged, and the symmetrical three-stage LED daytime running lights on the upper and lower sides are inspired by the Tropic of Cancer, which is highly recognizable. The near and far lights are all LED light sources, and the lighting effect is excellent.
The side styling of the Hoshigoku L Thor Hybrid Edition features a waistline with a pronounced bent angle to create a powerful visual effect. In terms of body size, the Hoshigoku L Thor Hybrid Edition has a length, width and height of 4770/1895/1689mm and a wheelbase of 2845mm.
In order to reduce the vehicle wind resistance, the Hoshigoku L Raytheon Hybrid Edition adopts a new two-color five-spoke wheel design, which is quite dynamic. Matched this is the Goodyear tires with a specification of 235/50 R19.
The Hoshigoku L Thor Hybrid Edition continues the fuel version's full tail design, and the through-type taillights are a highlight, using tidal elements, which are visually excellent when lit up, and have a high degree of recognition.
In the interior part, the Hoshigoku L Thor Hybrid Edition uses a blue and beige interior color matching to create a good sense of atmosphere. The three oversized screens became the biggest highlight of the interior, and also supported the sense of technological atmosphere of the interior.
The three-spoke steering wheel is wrapped in leather, which is delicate to the touch, and the two-color combination also brings a bit of fashion.
The 12.3-inch full LCD dashboard displays a delicate effect, and the design of the page UI can also be seen to be thoughtful, and the visual effect is excellent.
The dual 12.3-inch screen is remarkable in terms of visual effects and control response, and the built-in latest Geely Galaxy OS1.3 system can also meet the needs of daily travel, and the popular entertainment and audio functions and intelligent gameplay are basically the same.
The Hoshigoku L Thor Hybrid Edition is equipped with a well-sized panoramic skylight that helps the permeability of the cockpit and is one of the more important configurations for today's consumers.
The Hoshigoku L Raytheon Hybrid Edition uses leather seats with full and thick padding and remarkable wrapping and support. The test-drive front seats support multi-directional power seat adjustment, and the main driver's seat also offers a memory seat function.
Editor's comments: In the process of this test drive, the star-more L Thor hybrid version left the deepest impression on me is that it is a vehicle that allows you to drive easily and comfortably, from the throttle, brakes, chassis, steering wheel, etc. have adopted a calibration style from the beginning to the end, it may not become the "performance beast" in your heart, of course, its 0-100km/h acceleration time is 7.9 seconds, and the strength is also very good. To sum up, it will be a "daughter-in-law" that you are more than happy to marry home, and you can go to the hall and the kitchen. Hoshigoku L Thor Hybrid Edition can give you comfort and also make you restless.
