After the Spring Festival in 2022, in just two months, oil prices have undergone several adjustments, after the last adjustment of oil prices, No. 92 gasoline has risen to more than 8.6 yuan, and No. 95 gasoline has directly entered the 9 yuan era, many netizens have called out: can afford to buy a car, can not afford to refuel.
Because of this, many fuel vehicle owners or consumers who are about to become fuel vehicle owners have set their sights on new energy models, but considering the objective reasons for endurance anxiety and imperfect charging station coverage, pure electric vehicles may have limitations at the use level for some consumers. Then in addition, in the field of new energy models, there are still plug-in hybrid models and extended range models, of which the advantages of range extended hybrid are very obvious, which has the general driving texture of pure electric vehicles, and then go out of the door without looking for charging piles like pure electric models, just refueling can be replenished.
However, as of now, there are not many car companies that really make efforts in the field of range-extending power, and there are even fewer car companies that have launched mass-produced models, most of which are our own brands. So today we will take stock of 3 high-end range extended SUV models suitable for petty bourgeois groups.
Ideal ONE
Positioning: Medium and large SUV
Price: 338,000
As a representative new car-making enterprise in recent years, Ideal Automobile has chosen a research and development path that is completely different from pure electric vehicles since its establishment. The first model of Ideal Auto, the Ideal ONE, proved the advantages of the range increase with actual sales.
As a medium and large SUV, the ideal ONE design is more elaborate, after all, the price has gone to more than 300,000 range, there is no special thing, how can consumers pay for it?
In terms of appearance, the overall design of the ideal ONE is more powerful. However, the most outstanding design of the whole vehicle is in the car, as a new power brand of car manufacturing, the ideal ONE's sense of technology in the car is very in place. First of all, the ideal ONE has created a precedent for the "triple screen" design of domestic car companies, which is the essence of the entire car. However, because the ideal ONE screen size is too large, and the angle is too upright, the reflection effect of this large screen is also more obvious in the case of direct sunlight.
In terms of power, the ideal ONE uses a 1.2T range extender + motor power combination, the total power of the motor is 245kW, the total torque of the motor is 455N·m, the acceleration time of 0-100km/h is only 6.5 seconds, and the comprehensive cruising range of NEDC is more than 1000 km. And the car also supports fast charging, even if the long-distance self-driving power can also be refueled to solve, but it should be noted that in the feed state, the actual fuel consumption performance of the ideal ONE is not low.
And in recent days, due to the rising cost price of new energy model batteries, many car companies have also decided to announce price increases for their products, and the ideal ONE is impressively listed.
Lantu Free Extended Range Edition
Price: 31.36-33.36 million
As a high-end new energy brand under Dongfeng Motor, the Lantu brand was officially released in July 2020, and in the same year, its first model, The Landu Free, was officially launched, as a key product in the process of Lantu's impact on high-end, Landu Freee can be described as full of sincerity.
In terms of power selection, compared to the ideal ONE, Landu Free is significantly more abundant, in addition to the extended range version, it also provides a pure electric version of the model.
At the design level, as a high-end model, the overall design of the Landu Free is relatively high-grade, with a straight waterfall grille design, with sharp headlights on both sides, so that the entire front face appears more visual impact. The side of the Landu Free can only be described in two words, that is, "elegant", coupled with the body length of nearly 5 meters and the design of the hidden door handle, it is closer to highlight its elegant temperament.
Of course, Lantu Free is no less than the ideal ONE in the creation of luxury in the car, the interior materials are very thick, and many places use chrome trim and imitation wood grain decorative panels for embellishment, which effectively enhances the sense of high quality in the car.
Like the ideal ONE, Landu Free also uses the design of the triple screen, but the triple screen of the Landu Free can automatically adjust the lifting height with different driving modes, which basically does not affect the safety of the driver at all.
In terms of power, Lantu FREE Extended Range Edition provides a set of 1.5T four-cylinder engine + dual motor power combination, the comprehensive maximum power is 510kW, and the acceleration of 100 kilometers is only 4.5 seconds, far more than most of the extended-range models on the market.
However, due to the sharp increase in the cost of raw materials, on March 24, Landu also announced that it would announce the price adjustment plan on March 31, but buying a car before the 31st will not be affected by the price adjustment. And if the Lantu Free rises by less than 10,000 after the price adjustment, it is still a surprise, after all, some hundreds of thousands of electric vehicles have increased by five or six thousand after the price adjustment, not to mention the Lantu Free that is priced at more than 300,000?
AITO asks the M5
Positioning: Medium SUV
Price: 24.98-31.98 million
Seeing the AITO brand, many friends may feel a little strange, but in fact, AITO is a brand co-founded by Huawei and Xilix, and the Q&I M5 is the first model under the AITO brand, positioning a mid-size SUV, which has been officially listed.
The design of the Q&I M5 is actually personally handled by Huawei's industrial design team, the overall atmosphere is very atmospheric, and the old predecessor "Xilis SF5" has a certain degree of similarity, but it is obviously better in the details of the processing. The trapezoidal forward grille combined with the sharp headlights group makes the entire front face look like it has a feeling of "not being angry and arrogant". On the side of the body, the M5 uses a streamlined design, which has a ready-to-go visual effect. The rear of the car uses an eagle wing through taillight design. At the same time, the central "AITO" letter logo brings sufficient recognition to it.
The interior of the M5 adopts a relatively simple design style, but under the seemingly simple design, it hides the Hongmeng HarmonyOS smart cockpit. The addition of the hongmeng harmonyOS intelligent cockpit concept makes intelligence the biggest highlight of the Q&I M5, and Huawei has deeply empowered the Q&I M5 with decades of accumulation in the ICT field, once again pulling the car intelligence up a dimension.
In terms of power, the M5 is equipped with a 1.5T four-cylinder range extender, which has a thermal efficiency of 41% and a maximum power generation efficiency of 3.2kW·h/L. In the two-wheel drive version, equipped with a rear single motor, the maximum power is 200kW, the peak torque is 360N·m, and the power performance is still guaranteed. In the four-wheel drive performance version of the model, the power parameters will be more exaggerated.
At last:
With the five consecutive rise in fuel prices, unattainable oil prices have gradually affected the lives of consumers, in such an environment, I believe that more consumers will turn their attention to new energy models in the future, especially range extender models, after all, this kind of purchase tax-free, green brand, no endurance anxiety model, for domestic automobile consumers at this stage, may be the best solution.
