BYD DM-i has quickly occupied the market since its launch, and its popularity has also brought new ideas to the new energy market, and mainstream independent brands have begun to develop more fuel-efficient super hybrid technology, and Geely is no exception. However, the slight difference is that the Thor hybrid platform launched by Geely includes HEV oil-electric hybrid, PHEV plug-in hybrid and REEV extended range hybrid. Some time ago, the first model of Thor hybrid technology, Hoshikoshi L Thor Hi · The X hybrid version has also opened online booking, and the pre-sale price currently announced is 173,700 yuan.
Although it is based on the Hoshigoshi L, as a hybrid model, the new car still makes a certain difference in design. For example, the front grille uses matrix chrome embellishments inside, and the light groups on both sides have also been redesigned to make the shape more concise, and the daytime lights are in a parallel bar style. In addition, the light source of the dot matrix has also been added on both sides of the grille, and the car logo can emit light, and the overall sense of technology is more sufficient. The design of the front bumper is also full of features, compared to the fuel version, the value of the hybrid model has undoubtedly risen by another level. There are also detail changes to the rear, and the rear surround has added tonal trim to echo the front of the car.
The interior of the new car continues the design style of the fuel model with great technology and grade, the three large screens are very eye-catching, the built-in car machine system equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip, support for global FOTA cloud upgrade, smart Bluetooth key, 4G network and other functions, and the vehicle is also equipped with a 540-degree transparent chassis, lane departure warning, lane keeping assistance, full-speed adaptive cruise and other safe driving assistance configurations, driving more assured. In addition, the use of materials in the car added a lot of leather and fur, with 72 colors of mood lights, creating a strong luxurious atmosphere.
The space advantage of the new car is also very obvious, although it is a compact SUV level positioning, but the length of the car reached 4770mm, the wheelbase is more than 2845mm, has belonged to the category of medium-sized SUVs, the second row of passengers can also have a very good experience, for family cars, this is also very important.
In terms of core power, the car uses a hybrid system composed of a 1.5T hybrid three-cylinder engine, an electric motor, a 3-speed electric drive transmission DHT Pro, etc., the engine has advanced technologies such as high-pressure direct injection, supercharged intercooling, Miller cycle, low-pressure EGR, etc., with a thermal efficiency of up to 43.32%, a maximum power of 110KW, a system comprehensive power of 180KW, a peak torque of 540 Nm, a zero-hundred acceleration time of 7.9S, and a comprehensive fuel consumption of only 4.3L/100KM. The comprehensive endurance can reach up to 1300KM.
Hoshikoshi L Thor Hi · The future competitor of the X hybrid version should be Song PLUS DM-i, but it is also very difficult to break through successfully, and the monthly sales of the latter in the market can already break through to more than 20,000, which is not a small base. And on the other hand, although the previous sales performance of the Star Yue L fuel version was also quite good, it repeatedly exceeded 10,000. But Star Trek L Thor Hi · The X hybrid version is similar to Toyota's dual engine and Honda's i-MMD, they are mainly in the form of oil mix, the main purpose is to save energy, and indeed the economy is relatively high. However, according to national policies, it is not a real new energy vehicle, and it cannot enjoy the treatment of green card and purchase tax exemption, which may discourage many consumers in first- and second-tier cities. Perhaps when Geely launched the plug-and-mix version later, there was really a chance to compete.
