At this stage, if any powertrain engineer proposes to develop a new pure gasoline engine, he will be suspected for a long time whether it is an internal ghost sent by a friend. In this environment to develop a new pure gasoline engine (100 words omitted here) ...
Yes, pure electric vehicles are not too fragrant, but we have hybrid and plug-in hybrid ah! This is very fragrant, our three electricity cost is low, 130,000 landing you can probably buy a joint venture waste, but at the same time, you can also buy an independent high-configuration plug-in hybrid.
We can also have a lot of autonomous hybrid options - Geely Thor Hybrid, Changan iDD, Great Wall DHT, GAC THS... Almost every independent car company is engaged in oil-electric hybrids, but the technical route is different.
It's a very correct direction, the internal combustion engine will not die, but the pure gasoline engine will die, and now the Geely Star Yue L Thor Hybrid I am driving in my hand is also trying to prove this truth.
Unlike the previous P2.5 single-motor plug-in hybrid, the Hoshigoku L hybrid uses a 1.5T engine with a maximum power of 110 kW and a maximum torque of 225 N·m. The maximum thermal efficiency is up to 43.32%, and the maximum torque of the motor with the engine is 320 N·m.
Obviously, this is a hybrid system for low fuel consumption and flat power, ultra-high compression ratio + cancellation gear train + exhaust gas circulation + high roller flow thin combustion all show that this low-power 1.5T engine is more suitable for efficient work.
The most core component is the 3-speed direct drive, which is essentially a 3-speed automatic, which can be directly driven at 20km/h, and the second gear is about 50km/h and the third gear is about 80km/h.
This statement is not very accurate, because there are many, many ways of working in the hybrid, but we can't get tangled up, because there will be a messy problem of whether the engine will downshift first at 50km/h and step on the throttle first or directly connect in series.
▲ On the Hoshigoku L hybrid, we can still see a super long screen of nearly 1 meter
▲ This rear floor has a lot of talk, derived from the CMA architecture of the PHEV model will have a high bulge, but because the Hoshikoshi L is a HEV, the battery capacity is much smaller, so the middle of the rear row can finally sit people
▲ It is also because the battery is small and no longer encroaches on the fuel tank space, so the fuel tank volume of the Star More L Hybrid is 55 liters, which is why Geely will say that the Star More L Hybrid tank can run more than 1000 kilometers
The most important thing is the feeling of opening up.
First of all, the first impression of driving, because the throttle, brake, steering are very light, so the first feeling of the Hoshikoshi L hybrid is very good to drive, if it is not nearly 1.9 meters wide, I would think that this car is very suitable for driving in the city.
▲But the price of the steering wheel and brakes is that there is no sense of direction in the steering, and the brake feedback is not very linear
After stepping on the throttle, the motor torque intervention speed is very, very fast, and for a moment I thought I was driving a pure electric car, which is very different from the Japanese hybrid - the Japanese hybrid will more simulate the acceleration of pure gasoline engines.
▲ There are many modes to choose from, according to experience, the comfort mode is much better than the smart mode
After the speed comes up, you will feel that the engine is starting to work, but Geely seems to have made a great optimization of the Thor hybrid, so that even if it is accelerated sharply, the vibration of the engine will not be obvious, at most, the sound of the engine's high speed will be heard.
But at this time, the excellent NVH level played a role, the engine noise is very small, there is basically no jitter, the chassis isolation road noise also has a hand, the vehicle driving texture is immediately advanced, although the Star Yue L hybrid positioning compact SUV, in fact, its sound insulation level has been in line with the Hyundai Shengda and Ford Ruijie such medium-sized SUVs.
Yes, it's so much better than the Highlander hybrid we bought from the Drivers, and oh my God, I still can't forget the feeling that my whole body was shaking.
The performance of the power performance is not very unexpected, since the Japanese system emphasizes fuel consumption, then the Geely Thor hybrid will obviously be better in power, the actual driving is indeed the case, the power response is fast, the output quality is high, and the 100 km acceleration is about 8 seconds, which is almost a second faster than the Japanese hybrid of the same level.
This is also why the Geely Thor hybrid to give the 1.5T engine to use 3 gears, in the daily we can basically ignore this 3 gears, but when accelerating, this "3AT" will immediately downshift, so that the engine into a high speed state to provide strong power.
Therefore, the Star Yue L hybrid in the high-speed performance than the Japanese hybrid is much better, the Japanese 2.0 hybrid high-speed super car and owe it money, yelling, acceleration is not OK, but the Star Yue L hybrid that 1.5T engine is very calm, obviously, this is inseparable from the contribution of the "3AT".
▲ The oil consumption of the table is shown in the figure, and we have the opportunity to do a 100-mile challenge to measure the real fuel consumption
As a price, when we drove in a slightly more intense driving method, the apparent fuel consumption of the Hoshigoku L Hybrid was 6.8 liters, the zero hundred acceleration was one second faster than the Japanese hybrid SUV, and the fuel consumption of the 100 km was also one liter higher.
▲ When the dashboard enters the tunnel, it takes a full eight seconds to darken, and I have never seen such a slow-reacting dashboard backlight before
In terms of chassis, the Hoshigoe L hybrid version is as comfortable as the gasoline version, and the high-speed stability is also very good, which is suitable for the tonality of the Hoshigoshi L. However, this chassis I can only give it 80 points, the remaining 20 deduction points are mainly in the rear row - when passing the speed bump, the impact of the rear row is very sharp, I don't know if it is because of the test car, we expect to improve this when mass production.
▲ Once the sunlight hits this chrome trim, the strong light will be directly reflected to the driver's eyes
epilogue
So the feeling of star more L hybrid to me is still relatively clear, that is, the power is very very good to open, but also brisk, high-speed and low-speed power are very strong, while the output quality is still very high, which is the main reason why I am willing to give star-more L hybrid a high score.
The NVH level is extremely high, which may be a huge advantage of the Star-Over L Hybrid, after all, the average person may not be able to open the gearbox or not, but he must be able to feel the size of the noise. However, in some details, the star-more L hybrid should be improved, such as the reaction speed of the instrument backlight should not be, and the filter shock of the rear row is also worth improving.
Finally, the Star-Vietnam L hybrid value is not worth buying, if you don't care too much about 9 pieces of 95# oil more than one liter, and you don't have much traffic jams, then 2.0T+7DCT is enough, after all, it is Volvo's technical powertrain. But if you're in the city and want a big space SUV that saves fuel and you don't want to buy Highlander, then the Star-Over L Hybrid is really suitable.
