In 1997, Chery began construction of its first plant, and the first pile was under the engine plant.
Since that day, a "technology Chery" has been born.
More than 20 years ago, Chery engine since 1999 put into production, the cumulative number of users has exceeded 8.8 million units; from 2006 to 2020, Chery has applied for more than 2,000 powertrain patents, almost half a day on average Chery has contributed a patent to the automotive industry.
And relevant data show that Chery will receive an average of 1 award every 2 years, and so far in engine manufacturing, 6 engines have been awarded the title of "China Heart" Top Ten Engines.
2021-2022 can be said to be the hybrid year of automobile brands, and the hybrid figure that has been monopolized by the Japanese for a long time in the past has appeared on more Chinese brand cars, BYD DM-i, Great Wall DHT, Changan iDD, Geely Hi·X... Almost all the brands with the strength of the head are beginning to emerge in this market segment.
At the critical moment of this competition of technical strength, Chery will naturally not be absent.
This time Chery took out something, with eight words can be summarized - 3 engine 3 gear 9 mode 11 speed, do not underestimate these eight words, let's first briefly analyze the gold content behind it.
First of all, the current mainstream DHT system is based on a dual motor layout, if the model with electric four-wheel drive will become the P2 + P3 + P4 three-motor layout, but their P0 motors are not involved in the output, just as the engine start and stop and for battery charging use, then in the final analysis they are single motor drive.
Chery Kunpeng Power replaces a medium and high power motor with two low- and medium-power motors, bringing a richer combination of power, giving full play to the high efficiency of the motor, whether it is low speed or high speed, you can get excellent system efficiency.
Second, the current hybrid technology on the market basically belongs to the hybrid mode of series parallel connection, that is, it can be directly driven by the engine or mixed with oil and electricity, including Chery's Kunpeng power. However, when the engine is directly connected, most hybrid systems have only one gear, and the engine output is quite limited, the most is nothing more than two gears, but Chery has 3 gears.
More gears, tooth ratio brings two benefits, one is to make the engine in the high-speed direct drive state of the speed is lower; the other is to make the engine direct drive speed threshold lower, so the Tiggo 8 PLUS Kunpeng e + has a comprehensive fuel consumption of 1.0L of 100 kilometers, and the fuel consumption in the state of power loss is only 5L/100km.
Third, because of the combination of three engines + three gears, Kunpeng e + hybrid system can achieve nine different working conditions, namely park charging, driving charging, single motor pure electric, dual motor pure electric, series extended range, parallel drive, engine direct drive, single motor kinetic energy recovery, double single motor energy recovery, it can be said that the fuel vehicle, hybrid vehicle, pure electric vehicle, extended range working conditions are included, so that your vehicle is always in the right working conditions.
Overall, this Kunpeng power is very efficient.
When you sit in the car, the first feeling should be quiet, even in the idling state, you can't hear the noise from the engine. Stepping on the throttle, the system adopts motor drive, the driving experience of the initial section is no different from a pure electric vehicle model, deep on the accelerator, the two motors work together, and the speed is easy and easy. The vehicle with a speed of about 60km per hour will enter the direct drive mode, and due to the blessing of the three-speed transmission, you can intuitively find that the vehicle always maintains a relatively economical speed.
Of course, at this time, if you want to accelerate sharply, don't worry, a foot of throttle, the engine and two electric machines work together, bringing 7 seconds to break the back feeling, the whole process is very smooth, silky, complex driving mode did not bring a little negative impact to the driving, all changes are quietly completed.
Since the overall working idea of this hybrid system is "mainly electricity", the new car also has a kinetic energy recovery function, providing a total of three adjustable forces. The kinetic energy recovery in the 1st and 2nd gear modes is almost unsentimental, and the recovery brake cannot be clearly felt until the 3rd gear, but it is not as strong as some pure electric models, which bring a strong sense of frustration.
As for other aspects, the Tiggo 8 PLUS Kunpeng e+ also performed well. The light steering force with good directivity brings better control; at the beginning, it was also said that its sound insulation level as a whole belongs to the middle and upper reaches of the same level, if it must be said that the lack of places, perhaps the suspension is hard, it should be to better balance the weight of the vehicle.
At present, the price of Chery Tiggo 8 PLUS Kunpeng e+ for sale is 151,800 yuan and 165,800 yuan, respectively. Compared with several hybrid models of Chinese brands, the price advantage is relatively large, such as the starting price of latte DHT reaching 159,800 yuan, while the Model of Song PLUS DM-i with a range of more than 100km needs 162,800 yuan.
Then compared with them, Tiggo 8 PLUS Kunpeng e+ has several obvious advantages, such as strong power performance, the system's comprehensive power reached 240kW, comprehensive torque of 565N·m; lower comprehensive fuel consumption; of course, the 5/7 seat optional seat layout, not only means that he has a large space, but also means that he can provide consumers with more diversified choices.
It is not surprising that there is such a performance, after all, the Chery Tiggo 8 PLUS Kunpeng version is a more comprehensive product, and now the addition of PHEV can almost be regarded as a comprehensive supplement. Up to now, the order volume of Chery Tiggo 8 PLUS Kunpeng e+ has exceeded 5,000 units, which is a good achievement, I believe that through this advanced layout of the product, more people will understand the charm of technology Chery.
