The low cost of new energy vehicles is recognized by everyone, after all, the price of electricity is much lower than the price of oil, but the problem of the cost of buying a car and the convenience of using the car can still not be solved. Therefore, if there is a fuel vehicle quota or license plate, it is still a traditional fuel vehicle that is more fragrant, so how to solve the problem of high oil prices? Car companies have also seen the needs of consumers and launched some smart hybrid models, such as the Wei brand latte DHT and Honda Haoying Rui Hybrid that we want to compare today.
Positioning compact SUVs come in different styles
Latte DHT
Haoying sharp hybrid
The design style of latte DHT and Haoying Rui Hybrid is very different, the former has a hexagonal mesh grid, angular headlights, more sporty lower surround, is the Weipai family design. The Haoying Sharp Hybrid is older and more stable, and the stout chrome trim at the front is the signature trim. Both have automatic headlights, adaptive near and far lights, and use LED light sources. In terms of external configuration, both are equipped with a certain degree of active safety system, including active braking, lane keeping assist, adaptive cruise, etc. In addition, latte DHT is equipped with front and rear radar and 360-degree panoramic images as standard, which is more convenient for novices. Haoying Rui Hybrid only has the same specification auxiliary configuration with the top configuration, and the entry-level version is not equipped with radar.
All are oil-electric hybrids The technical differences are not small
Although both use the form of oil-electric hybrid, but the technical route is different, latte DHT uses an intelligent DHT system, in addition to the engine, electric, there is a two-speed DHT gearbox, while Haoying Rui Hybrid uses a traditional E-CVT gearbox. Coincidentally, their NEDC comprehensive fuel consumption is 4.9L/100km (except for the Haoying Sharp Hybrid Phantom Night Edition), although they can achieve low fuel consumption, but the power performance, or intuitively speaking, the driving pleasure is a little different.
Latte DHT uses the Great Wall Intelligent DHT system, is the latest intelligent power system in the current Great Wall car series, the use of 130kW electric motor to drive the vehicle at low and medium speed, the engine is mainly responsible for power generation, and the 1.5T engine is used at high speed. In this way, taking advantage of the large torque of the electric motor, it can be lighter and quieter when starting and driving at low speeds. At the same time, engines with Miller cycles are in the most economical operating range, reducing fuel consumption. When stronger power is needed, the engine and the electric motor are connected in parallel and output at the same time. The latte DHT system has a comprehensive power of 181kW and a comprehensive torque of 532N·m, which is statistically stronger than most of the household SUVs of this class, and the official acceleration time of 0-100km/h is 7.5 seconds, which is much faster than the opponent.
The Haoying Rui Hybrid system also had a period of popularity at the beginning of its debut, but consumers were clearly more enthusiastic about their Earth Dream 1.5T version. The powertrain of Haoying Rui Hybrid consists of a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine and a 135kW front motor, as mentioned earlier, HaoyingRui Hybrid uses an E-CVT gearbox, similar to the single gear of a pure tram. The whole power system is more inclined to be driven by an electric motor, if you want, in pure electric mode Haoying Sharp Hybrid can be accelerated to 120km/h, but it can not last a few kilometers. Compared with the latte DHT, the i-MMD of Haoying Rui Hybrid relies more on the motor, which leads to a slightly weaker re-acceleration ability in the medium and high speed state. The latte DHT uses two gears of DHT with stronger acceleration in the rear section.
The interior atmosphere was different and couldn't fault it
Looking at the interior part, the style of the two cars is more different, but it is generally a symmetrical layout of the central control screen, which is not the same as some models that pursue sports, and the meaning of home is stronger. The latte DHT's central control screen size reaches 14.6 inches, and if it is the top, then the air conditioning control panel also has a 9-inch screen, which is unmatched by Haoying Rui Hybrid. There are also some differences in the shifting area of the two, the latte DHT uses an electronic gear lever, the operating logic is similar to the traditional mechanical gear lever, and the difficulty of getting started is low. Haoying Rui Hybrid uses a button-type gear shift mechanism, which is more novel and has a more scientific and technological sense. On the whole, the interior style of latte DHT is more like that of young families, in line with the characteristics of the times, while Haoying Rui Hybrid is more common, not too bright, but also can not fault too much.
The different styles of the two cars cannot be said to be good and who is bad, but it can only be said that they are suitable for different groups of people, but the difference in configuration performance is more objective.
Although the price of Haoying Rui Hybrid is more expensive, and the amplitude is not small, but the configuration level is more outstanding latte DHT. We compare the middle models of the two cars, namely the latte DHT 2022 1.5T DHT cup (guide price: 169,800 yuan) and the Haoying 2021 sharp hybrid 2.0L two-wheel drive sharp luxury version (guidance price: 229,800 yuan), the price gap between the two reached 60,000 yuan, but the configuration is more abundant in terms of latte DHT, especially in terms of intelligent driving assistance and intelligent in-car. Considering their own brand differences, one is independent, the other is a joint venture, in the configuration comparison is indeed Haoying Rui · hybrid more loss.
Cabin comfort performance is close
The Latte DHT and Haoying Rui Hybrid Positioning are both compact SUVs, which are the most popular grades for our domestic consumers, and usually have enough space for families. Both cars are not bad in terms of space performance, the latte DHT has a larger body, the 2745mm wheelbase is also ahead of haoying sharp hybrid, and Honda is known as a space magician, with a high utilization of internal space.
The length, width and height of the latte DHT are 4668*1890*1730mm, and the Haoying Sharp Hybrid is 4634*1855*1679mm, which can be seen that the latte DHT as a whole is larger than the Haoying Sharp Hybrid, but the amplitude is limited, and the wheelbase is the same. However, from the actual performance of the two cars, the internal riding space is close, including the bulge of the central passage of the rear row, which is not large. Then it is necessary to look at the comfort configuration, latte DHT is equipped with front soundproof glass, rear sunshade, top model with rear seat heating, active noise reduction function, for the car sound insulation and noise reduction has a great contribution. Haoying Rui hybrid side also has a rear sunshade, but the top is equipped, the rear seat heating starts from the secondary top, the second row of seats backrest angle adjustment is standard, and active noise reduction is also. So their interior ride comfort is really similar.
In today's soaring oil prices, an SUV that is fuel-efficient enough and has a smooth and energetic drive is the first choice for many families. Latte DHT and Haoying Rui Hybrid both meet the premise of fuel saving, and in terms of power performance, Latte DHT has certain advantages, and the traditional strengths of independent brands have not been lost, and the configuration level is better. The internal riding space, the two cars are not separated from each other, and the design concept and the sense of atmosphere in the car are also different from person to person. Finally, how to choose or depends on the needs of individuals, after all, there is no perfect car in the world, I hope that our comparison can help everyone's car selection.
