When the global automotive industry enters the "new energy era", the power system on the market presents a situation of a hundred flowers.
On the one hand, in the face of technical bottlenecks and endurance anxiety, fuel is still an energy type that is difficult to give up in a short period of time; on the other hand, in the face of the call for energy conservation and emission reduction and the real cost of using vehicles, electric drives have also become the mainstream technology trend. For those who do not have the conditions to charge and are eager for an economical, sporty car experience, the HEV (Hybrid Oil-Electric) model is one of the most preferred at the moment.
When it comes to HEVs, I believe that the first thing that comes to mind is Toyota's THS and Honda's i-MMD. The former has more than 20 years of R & D experience and has a strong market acceptance; the latter further reduces energy losses and has more advantages in terms of economy. At present, the "two fields" basically monopolize the field of oil-electricity hybrids and hold most of the market discourse.
However, last year's Guangzhou Auto Show first exposed the Star Yue L Thor Hi · The X-fuel-electric hybrid version of the model has received a lot of attention since its release, and Ray's God Intelligence Engine Hi · The X hybrid system has also become a symbol of "China HEV". So, is this hybrid system that good? How about the Star-Over L Thor Hybrid Edition open? At the recent Shangri-La test drive event, Automotive Intelligence New Media had a comprehensive understanding of this long-awaited model.
Fearless of challenges, fish and bear paws
Shangri-La, known as the "paradise on earth", often appears alongside words that describe beauty. For example, the magical and magnificent Meili Snow Mountain, the majestic Songzanlin Temple, the picturesque Pudatso National Park, and the Haba Snow Mountain Nature Reserve. Of course, the conditions for enjoying the scenery are very harsh, and the geographical environment of an average altitude of 3459 will often make the Shangri-La trip full of variables, and also put forward higher requirements for this test drive.
In terms of technology, the Hoshigoku L Raytheon Hybrid Edition is equipped with a DHE15 hybrid special engine, the engine thermal efficiency is up to 43.32%, better than the Japanese hybrid up to 41%, which can ensure fuel economy from the source; at the same time, the 3-speed hybrid electric drive transmission DHT Pro can realize pure electric drive, gasoline-electric hybrid drive, intelligent ability distribution and 3-speed variable speed torque, the system comprehensive power is 180kW, and the system comprehensive torque is 540N·m. It has achieved a data performance that far exceeds that of the 2.0T engine.
In the test drive process, the starting stage of the vehicle is completely powered by the electric motor, which not only avoids the engine from working for a long time in uneconomical conditions, but also brings a starting response and driving experience comparable to that of the pure electric vehicle model, which is very friendly in the congested urban road conditions. When the speed rises to more than 20km/h, the engine will seamlessly intervene, and the wheels will be driven in conjunction with the electric motor, which not only ensures that the engine is in the best working condition, but also ensures a strong power output, bringing a more enjoyable driving experience.
Usually, due to technical constraints, oil-electric hybrid models are often "faster, higher fuel consumption", toyota THS energy conversion sales in high-speed conditions, honda i-MMD engine direct drive power performance is poor, become the "soft underbelly" of the two. However, the Hoshigoku L Raytheon Hybrid Edition can achieve direct engine drive at high speeds, reducing energy losses, and the 3-speed DHT Pro can achieve downshift twisting and speeding up power response, which overcomes this problem well. Whether it is high-speed cruising or changing lanes to overtake, it can give people a feeling of ease.
Thanks to the tacit cooperation between the high-efficiency hybrid engine and the intelligent electric drive transmission, even in the face of high altitude, low air pressure, low temperature, and many winding and non-paved road conditions, the fuel consumption of 100 kilometers under the plateau conditions of the Xingyue L Raytheon Hybrid Version is only 5.8L, which is comparable to the daily performance of ordinary compact family cars; and in the process of daily use, its NEDC comprehensive fuel consumption has reached 4.3L/100km, showing a stronger fuel economy advantage compared with the same level of hybrid SUV. The comprehensive endurance exceeded 1300km.
In addition, The Star Yue L Raytheon Hybrid Edition is also equipped with the Geely Galaxy OS Raytheon Customized Edition Vehicle Andromeda System, in addition to clearly displaying the power conversion status, actively adjusting the air conditioning, seat heating/ventilation status according to the driving mode, but also adding the co-driver cinema mode, which can actively close the skylight and sunshade to create an immersive exclusive space; provide automatic scanning of the whole vehicle, actively monitor the engine, gearbox, tire pressure and other key information to make the journey more secure; add Tencent Video, Tencent Map, Mango Sound, Yangguang Cloud listens to 4 APP, bringing more fun to the car life. Whether from the hardware or software level, the Star-Over L Raytheon Hybrid Edition has shown an attractive product power.
The brand is upward, showing the strength of China
There is no doubt that the Star-Vietnam L Thor Hybrid Edition, as the "pioneer" of Geely Thor Power, shows the leading level of Thor Power in the HEV market, and strengthens its own brand identity of "world-class smart hybrid SUV". However, in the face of the layers of technical barriers set by the joint venture brand represented by "Two Fields", the Geely brand can achieve breakthroughs and surpasses, and the efforts behind it are immeasurable.
In fact, from the perspective of research and development, the breakthrough of technology requires a long period of accumulation and a large amount of capital investment, especially for the field of hybrid, it is difficult to catch up with or even lead the development of the times; but from the perspective of enterprise development, the independent research and development of core technologies is the only way, and the landing of Geely Leishen Power is not only its own weapon against the joint venture brand, but also represents the level of China's automobile industry.
"Good hybrid, measured.". Compared with the rush of some brands, the Star-Vietnam L Thor Hybrid Edition has undergone long-term and multi-dimensional tests, such as the 1300km ultra-long endurance challenge, the Yakeshi ice and snow test drive, the million-person test Thor, the Thor, the Thor Wisdom Qing Hi · X hybrid system 240-hour extreme frequency conversion challenge and other activities, fully demonstrate the stability and reliability of Geely Raytheon Power, enough for consumers to eat a reassuring pill, but also for the launch of later products to lay a solid foundation.
It is worth mentioning that recently, China Star and "Only This Green" officially reached a strategic cooperation, and the strong combination of Chinese science and technology and Chinese art fully demonstrated the "Chinese power". After the strong addition of the Xingyue L Raytheon Hybrid Edition, the Geely brand will also better boost the brand upwards and "Blue Geely Action", and its future performance is very worth looking forward to.
Conclusion: According to the plan, the Star-Etsu L Raytheon Hybrid Edition has been opened to the whole network on March 18, providing a total of one model, with a pre-price of 173,700 yuan, and will be officially launched at the end of March. Compared with the price of the same level of joint venture hybrid models starting from 200,000 yuan, the Star Yue L Raytheon hybrid version has a stronger competitiveness, and in the face of such a product with almost no shortcomings, what reason can it be rejected?
