Last Saturday, the author experienced a medium-sized SUV at the Chengdu Jinma Test Drive Center, its price is less than 200,000 yuan (176,900-192,900 yuan), but the strength can not be underestimated - relying on electric energy alone to drive 130 kilometers, a tank of oil can run 1100 kilometers, the fuel consumption is as low as 5L/100km, the acceleration time of 100 kilometers is 8.1s, the maximum speed can exceed 200km/h, the external discharge, and the standard 6.6kW AC fast charge and DC fast charge are also standard.

Changan UNI-K iDD: Specializing in "mileage anxiety", focusing on "oil price panic"

The car I am talking about is called Changan UNI-K iDD, which is the first model of Changan Automobile equipped with the Blue Whale iDD hybrid system, known as the "full" 0 anxiety "electromix SUV".

Before understanding Changan UNI-K iDD, it is necessary to understand Changan's blue whale iDD hybrid system.

As we all know, at this stage, new car consumption is still dominated by internal combustion engine cars. Therefore, for the OEMs in the Chinese market, how to make the internal combustion engine vehicles that still occupy the mainstream of domestic automobiles find a new balance between power, energy saving and environmental protection through technological innovation, and smoothly and efficiently transition to pure electric vehicles, is the most urgent and realistic issue at present.

In the context of the transition from pure oil to pure electricity, almost every mainstream Chinese brand has come up with its own solution - BYD's DM-i super hybrid, Geely's Lei Shenzhi Qing Hi · X, Chery's Kunpeng hybrid DHT, great wall lemon hybrid DHT, Chang'an's answer, is the blue whale iDD hybrid system.

Changan Automobile positioned this Blue Whale iDD hybrid system as a global hybrid solution. The full range refers to the full speed domain, the full field domain, the full temperature domain, the full time domain, of which the full speed domain refers to the low speed starting, high speed overtaking, and the extreme speed track can ensure the instantaneous power explosion, and in the low-speed working conditions, the pure electric model (EV) can be realized. Under high-speed conditions, the intervention of the motor can ensure that the speed is increased more quickly.

The system consists of four parts: Blue Whale NE1.5T hybrid special engine, Blue Whale triple-clutch electric drive transmission, high-capacity PHEV battery and iDD intelligent control system. According to the official statement, whether it is a fuel mode or an electric mode, it has the advantage of surpassing a single model, which can create a 1+1>2 effect.

With a variety of advantages such as the new architecture platform, Blue Whale Power, and many intelligent technology configurations, Changan has grown into one of the most market-appealing local brands in China, and the launch of the iDD hybrid system has once again demonstrated to the industry Changan Automobile's firm determination to transform and upgrade to an intelligent low-carbon technology travel company.

So specific to this Changan UNI-K iDD, what are the advantages of this oil-electric hybrid system?

First of all, in terms of power, the Blue Whale iDD hybrid system is equipped with a 1.5T Blue Whale engine, which adopts a series of new technologies such as agile and efficient combustion system, intelligent thermal management system, Miller cycle, intelligent lubrication system, etc., the engine has a maximum power of 126kW and a maximum torque of 260N·m; the engine matches the Blue Whale triple-clutch electric drive transmission independently developed by Changan, which has the characteristics of high efficiency, high integration and high compatibility, and the application range is very extensive.

In addition, UNI-K iDD is also equipped with a 30.74kWh large-capacity battery pack, which has a pure electric cruising range of 130 kilometers under comprehensive working conditions, which basically meets the commuting needs of most users. In the case of hybrid oil-electricity superposition, the comprehensive mileage of UNI-K iDD can reach 1100 kilometers, that is to say, with a tank of fuel, fully charged, can run 1100 kilometers, there is no pure electric vehicle "mileage anxiety".

For plug-in hybrid models, in the case of full battery, the engine does not work, that is, the fuel consumption is 0, in this case, UNI-K iDD can run 130km, according to the commuting commute back and forth 40 kilometers to calculate, basically can do 3 days a charge.

What everyone is most concerned about is the fuel consumption of the battery when the battery is low, or even when there is no electricity, after all, the fuel consumption of the early PHEV models is very high when the electric condition is low. According to the official introduction of Changan, the fuel consumption of Changan UNI-K iDD is only 5L/100km, which realizes that in the state of power shortage, it saves 40% of fuel compared with the same level of fuel vehicles, almost reaching the level of A-class cars (1.0T displacement), for "oil price panic", UNI-K iDD also has a miraculous effect.

Not only is it "oilable and electric", UNI-K iDD also comes standard with 6.6kW AC fast charging and DC fast charging, and supports 220V home charging function. More importantly, UNI-K iDD is also a "mobile power station", which is equipped with a 3.3kW external discharge gun, which can meet the diversified living needs of users such as lighting, cooking, and reverse charging during travel.

As for the performance that young consumers care about, Changan UNI-K iDD in the 1.5T Blue Whale engine + motor combined forces, 100 km acceleration time of 8.1s (roughly equivalent to the fuel car 2.0T acceleration level), the maximum speed can reach 200km / h (the current speed of most electric vehicles is about 160km), it can be said that it is very good.

Since this is a test drive on the venue, most of our experience comes from the look and feel, driving control and configuration.

It can be found that the overall design style of UNI-K iDD is no different from that of the fuel version model, and the design of the shape is full of futuristic, the front grille of the bezel-less design, the hidden door handle, the tail of the slip-back type, the through-type tail light machine plus the tail diffuser decoration and the exhaust layout of the two sides are the classic elements of the Changan UNI series.

Not only is the appearance of sci-fi, the interior of the UNI-K iDD also strives to create a "spaceship" feeling, such as the introduction of a 3+1 quad screen layout. In the instrument in front of the driver, the integration of 10.25 + 9.2 + 3.5 inches of three screens, with the central control aisle electronic shift mechanism and knob-type function control buttons, making the interior of the UNI-K iDD, very highly technological.

In addition to the eye-catching design, the configuration of the UNI-K iDD is also remarkable.

In addition to experiencing 8.1 seconds of 100 km acceleration, in the bumpy road challenge, the combination of Changan UNI-K iDD's 360 ° panoramic image + transparent chassis can achieve 540 ° ultra-wide angle image coverage, commonly known as transparent chassis, you can see the image of the bottom of the vehicle, driving on rough roads will never hang the chassis again, and do not worry about unnecessary rubbing when the narrow road will meet the car.

Even when you park on weekdays, you can also win the reputation of "old driver" by observing the position of the car in the screen and parking the car in the center of the parking space. In the U-shaped corners and 8-figure around the pile, UNI-K iDD's new generation ESP also played a good role, making every turn of the driver not alarming.

In the space that Chinese consumers care more about, UNI-K iDD has created a very wide interior space with a wheelbase of 2890mm, while NAPPA's high-quality textured leather + high-grade suede combination, flat flooring, sunroof with a lighting area of up to 0.89㎡ plus zero gravity design and filling technology for the whole car seats, and the front integrated sports seats also add a lot to the comfort of the whole vehicle.

Write at the end

In the past few years, the market's attitude towards plug-in hybrids has been cold. Compared with pure electric models that gradually consolidate the position of future development direction, plug-in hybrids will always be considered by consumers to be "too high prices" and "transitional products" launched only to meet policies. However, in today's oil prices and battery raw material prices are soaring, this Changan UNI-K iDD, which is the same as the mainstream fuel SUV products, can be said to be the name of plug-in hybrid with the concept of all-scenario, O anxiety.
