On March 22, Skyworth Auto released the news that Skyworth HT-i officially opened pre-sale, and its biggest highlight is equipped with BYD's own DM-i hybrid system. All along, DM-i has been BYD's unique killer technology, and this time it is actually supplied to other manufacturers, which is really rare.
Xiao Lei learned that Skyworth HT-i is the brother model of EV6, from the appearance point of view, the new car continues the shape of EV6, but the grille design of the front face has been redesigned to have a stronger unity, officially called it "gravitational wave" aesthetic concept.
The exact size of the new car is unknown, but Xiao lei guessed that it would be similar to the EV6, which has a length, width and height of 4698/1908/1696 mm, and a wheelbase of 2800 mm, which is expected to be a compact SUV.
Not surprisingly, skyworth HT-i's interior specifications will also be consistent with the EV6, using a large-size central control screen, LCD dashboard, and a large area of black leather, setting off the sense of luxury in the car. In addition, the knob gear, keyless start-stop and other high-end cars should have the configuration, HT-i estimates that there will be no shortage.
As the most important selling point of HT-i, it must be the use of BYD's DM-i hybrid system, which is equipped with the powertrain of the EHS electric hybrid system, which is composed of a 1.5L high-efficiency engine and an electric motor for The Snap Cloud-Plug Hybrid. The thermal efficiency of the engine is as high as 43.04%, which is at the industry-leading level, and the maximum power can reach 81 kW. It is worth mentioning that the car has a comprehensive endurance of 1267 kilometers in the case of full fuel and electricity, which is equivalent to running from Beijing to Shanghai.
As we all know, the sales of BYD's DM-i models are very hot, and they have been in a state of short supply, and it is basically necessary to wait for several months to mention the existing car. Xiao Lei's colleagues recently booked the latest BYD destroyer DM-i, and it is said that the car only began mass production in May, and it should be mentioned that the car should wait at least two or three months.
As for whether Skyworth HT-i, which is also equipped with BYD hybrid technology, will also have limited cargo, it is still unknown, if the BYD DM-i compact SUV is out of stock, Xiao Lei believes that this new Skyworth car can be considered. In terms of price, the starting price of Skyworth EV6 is 165,800 yuan, and HT-i may not be too different from it.
Then again, Skyworth in XiaoLei's impression is still a strong home appliance company, did not expect that its compact SUV also has a good strength, coupled with the current explosive BYD hybrid technology, it is estimated that HT-i will have a good heat.
