When it comes to Skyworth, everyone should be no stranger, many people first think of the TV, but in addition, they have some other products, such as the cars that everyone needs to travel. Skyworth Auto, formerly known as Tianmei Automobile, launched its first model ET5 in October 2020, and on July 27 last year, ET5 was renamed Skyworth Auto EV6 and officially launched.
According to the news of Skyworth's official website recently, its first new model equipped with BYD's DM-i hybrid system - Skyworth HT-i was officially unveiled, and the biggest highlight of the new car is that with the blessing of the new system, the performance of the endurance has been greatly improved, which also makes it a strong competitor in the future automobile market. It is reported that the car will open pre-sale in April, is expected to be listed on August 28, the official has not yet announced more specific information including prices. It is worth mentioning that Skyworth, as a newcomer in the car circle, can become the first cooperative brand of BYD DM-i hybrid technology, which has to make the majority of consumers full of curiosity and expectations for this newly unveiled car, so let's first take a look at how Skyworth HT-i is this car, and can it be optimistic about the market?
Although the specific body size has not yet been officially announced, according to the model positioning, combined with the previously released pictures, it should be similar to the ev6, the only pure electric model on sale, and the length, width and height of this pure electric EV6 are 4698/1908/1696 mm, and the wheelbase is 2800 mm.
As a brother model of Skyworth EV6, its appearance still continues the design style similar to Skyworth EV6, but the official first introduced the "gravitational wave" aesthetic concept in the shape design of the new car, using a borderless grille design, which makes the new car feel more fashionable in terms of shape, and the official also said that it will introduce this concept in the future car shape design.
The side and rear of the new car are not obviously different from the old Skyworth EV6, the whole is still the original traditional SUV design style, the tail is equipped with popular through taillights, and the interior is also inlaid with the Brand's English name, which is very recognizable after lighting.
The interior should be similar to the EV6, equipped with a large-size central control screen, an LCD dashboard, and a large area of black leather, which sets off the high-end feeling in the car and generally gives people a bright feeling. 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.
In terms of power, Skyworth HT-i will be equipped with a plug-in hybrid system composed of Xiaoyun-plug-in hybrid 1.5-liter engine and electric motor, according to official data, the engine thermal efficiency is 43.04%, reaching the world's highest level, the maximum power is 81 kilowatts, the peak torque is 135 Nm, with a long-lasting ultra-hybrid special power battery, the comprehensive working conditions of pure electric mileage will reach 200 kilometers, and the comprehensive mileage can reach 1267 kilometers. The traditional plug-in hybrid is often oil-based, supplemented by electricity, which is the "oil tiger" in the public's mouth. Skyworth HT-i adopts the powertrain of EHS electric hybrid system, the engine and motor are driven at the same time, and the engine and motor can also be driven separately, which avoids the problem of high energy consumption when driving at high speed, and the fuel consumption of 100 kilometers under the power deficit condition is 5.3 liters.
summary:
From the above information, Skyworth HT-i is very good in terms of both styling and comprehensive performance, there is this strength to make the market optimistic about it, and in the current situation, plug-in hybrid models have more advantages in mileage than pure electric models, and compared to pure oil models, they are more advantageous in oil prices, if the price of new cars can be more in line with consumers' wishes, then Skyworth HT-i may really be able to make more people satisfied, it can be said that this is a new car that is worth looking forward to. I am curious whether BYD's power system plus Skyworth's big TV can have some new breakthroughs, and how it can cause the consumer market after the pre-sale is opened.
