The recent spike in oil prices has made it worse for our already wealthy families. Then buy an electric car, but the price of electric vehicles has also increased due to the soaring price of battery materials, and it has risen a lot. So now may be the best time for the development of hybrid models, which are both fuel-efficient and not much affected by the rise in material prices.
Since last year, independent brands have begun to force the field of hybridization, and several head brands have opened a new arms race, and the listing of one new car after another has brought more choices to consumers. And it seems that the combination of hybrid + SUV is quite in line with the appetite of the Chinese people, with large space, high passability, and fuel saving, which integrates various advantages. Next, I will introduce you to several autonomous hybrid SUVs, interested friends can learn about it.
BYD Song Pro DM-i
Guidance price: 138,800-163,800 yuan
Speaking of autonomous hybrid, the most famous must be BYD DM-i, equipped with this hybrid system model, it can be said that it is acclaim and seat, and no one in the autonomous camp can match at present.
Song Pro DM-i is a relatively new member of BYD's SUV family, which was officially launched on December 22, 2021. In fact, the Song Pro is not a new car, but this is the first time that the model is equipped with a DM-i system, which also enhances the competitiveness of the Song Pro car series.
In terms of design, the new car is not much different from the Song Pro that was previously on sale, but the details have been changed. It is still the dragon face design language, but the proportion of the front grille area has increased from 60% of the old model to 75%, and the visual impact is stronger. At the same time, on the basis of the original body color matching, a new azure blue body has been added, providing consumers with a more personalized and fashionable choice.
The overall layout of the new car interior has not changed, but the central control adopts more curves, and the combination of materials and colors is also more abundant, showing a more fashionable carriage atmosphere, and the texture is greatly improved compared with before. The interior color of Kirin Brown + Sky Grey has been added, and the visual effect is more fresh.
In terms of power, we are very familiar with the DM-i system composed of 1.5L self-priming engine and motor, under the blessing of this set of power, Song PRO DM-i has 7.9 seconds of zero hundred acceleration, 4.4L/100km of feed fuel consumption, and 1090 km of comprehensive cruising range.
Changan UNI-K iDD
Guidance price: 176,900-192,900 yuan
For hybrids, the answer given by Changan is its own iDD system, and UNI-K is the first Changan model equipped with this system, and it is believed that iDD models will be listed one after another. In terms of design, the UNI-K iDD is almost the same as the regular version of the model, or the sci-fi look, and the borderless grille is its signature element, which is unforgettable.
And it also does not have reservations in the sports style because of the identity of new energy, 21-inch large rims, red calipers, 265/45 R21 horse brand MC6 high-performance tires, bilateral double out of large size exhaust, people can not tell that this is a model that pays attention to fuel economy. That is, the charging cover at the right rear fender and the "iDD" logo in the lower right corner of the tailgate, low-key highlight their differences.
The overall layout of the interior is also exactly the same as that of the ordinary version of the model, and the instrument panel and the central control screen are arranged in a staggered manner, creating a layered mood. The steering wheel with a flat bottom up and down provides a more dynamic visual effect, while also preventing the driver from obstructing the view of the instrument.
Unlike the high prices of many hybrid models, the UNI-K iDD takes the cheap route, almost in line with the price of the fuel version. Unlike the relatively complex mixed structure of others, Changan iDD adopts the form of P2 with a relatively simple structure, and the simple structure is basically equivalent to low cost.
Of course, everything has two sides, the advantage of Changan iDD is the low price, and it also has its own side that it is not good at. Because its drivetrain is still a traditional gearbox, and in pure electric drive mode, the engine is in a state of shutdown, so when the engine intervenes, it is inevitable that there will be some setbacks, not as smooth as the hybrid system using the E-CVT gearbox.
In addition to the price, Changan iDD also has some highlights in technology and parameters. The first is the use of a large battery with a capacity of up to 30.74 kWh, which allows the UNI-K iDD to achieve a pure electric cruising range of up to 130 km. The second is that it uses the Blue Whale NE 1.5T hybrid special engine.
What about its performance parameters? The performance is still good, its NEDC comprehensive fuel consumption of 0.8L/100km, feed fuel consumption as low as 5L/100km, while the comprehensive cruising range of up to 1100km. And it has not compromised in terms of performance, 8.1s of 100 km/h acceleration time, for a vehicle length of nearly 4 meters 9, weighing about 2 tons of medium-sized SUV, has been quite fast.
Weipai Mocha DHT-PHEV
Guidance price: 295,000-315,000 yuan
Unlike Changan, Weipai takes a high-tech, high-value route, which can be seen from the price of Mocha DHT-PHEV, which is about 100,000 yuan more expensive than the fuel version model, what makes Weipai have the confidence to sell such a high price? Because its indicators are indeed outstanding in the field of hybrids.
Its plug-in mixing system is composed of a 1.5T engine and an electric motor, which is not significantly different from the competitors. It is different in that it is equipped with a large battery with a capacity of up to 39.67 kWh, which is larger than the battery capacity of some small pure electric vehicles. This large battery brings the MOCHA DHT-PHEV a pure electric range of 204 kilometers (two-wheel drive version) under WLTC conditions.
The MOCHA DHT-PHEV is available in two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive, with two-wheel drive models equipped with single motors and four-wheel drive models with front and rear dual motors. The comprehensive fuel consumption of the two-wheel drive model WLTC is 0.45L/100km, and the feeder fuel consumption is 5.55L/100km; the four-wheel drive model is WLTC's comprehensive fuel consumption is 0.73L/100km, and the feeder fuel consumption is 6.3L/100km, although the fuel consumption has increased slightly, but in exchange for 4.8 seconds of 100 km acceleration.
The Mocha DHT-PHEV is designed to be consistent with the ordinary version of the model, and is still a stylish and luxurious style; the configuration also maintains the same high level, in line with the positioning of the flagship model.
However, even if the strength is strong, it should not be able to persuade consumers to pay for it, because most of the consumers with a budget of about 300,000 may not think of mocha, and there are so many models with extremely strong product power and brand power. So I admire Weipai's courage, but express concern about the prospects of the new car.
Hoshikoshi L Thor Hi · X Hybrid Edition
Guidance price: 171,700-183,700 yuan
Among the several cars in this article, Hoshigoku L Thor Hi · The X Hybrid Edition is the latest addition and just went on sale on March 30. From the price point of view, it is also relatively close to the people, so this makes the Mocha DHT-PHEV seem even more out of place.
In terms of design, the overall design of the new car maintains the style of the fuel version of the Star Yue L, the main difference is in the front face, the dot matrix grille has LED light strips on both sides, the grille remains the same color as the body, and the front surround is also different from the fuel version of the model, in general, the entire front of the car looks more technological. In order to further highlight the identity of new energy, Xingyue L Thor Hi · The X Hybrid also has its own body color, and the light blue tone is extremely fresh.
The overall layout of the interior is consistent with the fuel version of the model, the triple screen is still very eye-catching, and the new blue and white color scheme is the same as the light blue body coating, which is more in line with its new energy positioning.
In terms of power, the new car is equipped with a hybrid system consisting of a 1.5T turbocharged engine and an electric motor, in which the maximum power of the engine is 150 horsepower and the maximum torque is 225 Nm, which is matched with a 3-speed DHT Pro electric drive transmission. According to official information, the engine thermal efficiency of the new car can reach 43.32%, the comprehensive cruising range can reach 1300 kilometers under full oil and full power, the acceleration time of 100 kilometers is 7.9 seconds, and the comprehensive fuel consumption is 4.3L/100km.
Before Geely held a small range of endurance open competition, many participating media have used a tank of fuel to run out of 1300 + km of outstanding results, and even the first place mileage up to 1426km, converted down the 100 km comprehensive fuel consumption is 3.9 liters, lower than the official 4.3 liters, it seems that Geely is still very modest.
GAC Trumpchi GS8 dual engine series
Guidance price: 228,800-246,800 yuan
Among several plug-and-mix models, GAC Trumpchi GS8 is also more special, because it does not use the plug-in system, but directly uses Toyota's THS hybrid system, which is ready-made, why bother to develop a new system? Like other models, the GS8 is available in fuel and hybrid versions.
How to quickly distinguish between the fuel version and the hybrid version? Quite simply, compared to the "Spread Wing" grille of the fuel version of the model, the hybrid version of the "Dragon Scale Wing" grille is more powerful, and the integrated design area is extremely large, and the momentum is particularly sufficient, and may even make some people feel that it is too exaggerated. If you see such a non-angry "face" in the rearview mirror, you may be shocked.
The sides of the body are extremely square, and the feeling of knife slashing and chopping is full of masculine atmosphere. In terms of body size, the GS8 has a length, width and height of 4980 (5015)/1950/1780mm, and a wheelbase of 2920mm. So it's not just big, it's actually big, a circle bigger than Highlander.
The tail is still full of sharp lines, and the straight tailgate not only matches the overall contour of the box, but also makes better use of the height inside the car, resulting in more storage space. The taillights, double-sided exhaust and lower surround are all mech-style, a futuristic feel.
The interior of the new car is not as radical as the exterior, although it is slightly disconnected from the appearance of the feeling, but it is worth affirming. Because the interior design is to give people a comfortable look, too many sharp and straight lines will be too impactful, easy to cause visual fatigue.
There are almost no extra buttons on the center console, only a 12.3-inch full LCD meter, and a central control screen with a size of up to 14.6 inches. And these two LCD screens are standard in the whole series. Built-in ADiGO 4.0 car machine system, the function is still relatively rich.
In terms of power, the hybrid version is equipped with a hybrid system consisting of a 2.0T engine and a Toyota THS, in which the maximum power of the engine is 190 hp, the maximum torque is 320 Nm, the maximum power of the motor is 182 hp, and the maximum torque is 270 Nm, which matches the E-CVT transmission. The two-wheel drive version of the NEDC has a comprehensive fuel consumption of 5.3L for 100 kilometers, and a four-wheel drive version of 5.8L, which is so large and such a medium-sized SUV, such a performance can already be regarded as excellent.
summary
Once upon a time, hybrid was still chicken ribs in everyone's mind, because the hybrid models at that time had many common problems, such as high prices, and obvious increases in fuel consumption. But these problems have basically been well solved in the new car, and the real hybrid should be, that is, it has the advantages of both pure tram and fuel vehicle. If you feel that fuel fares and pure trams have mileage anxiety, then you can really consider hybrid models.
