Recently, domestic oil prices have soared all the way to the point of jaw-dropping, coupled with policy subsidies, the reduction of car costs and the improvement of the comprehensive product strength of new energy models have invisibly verified the true fragrance law of new energy models, which has made more and more fuel vehicle owners gradually have the idea of turning against new energy. At the moment when the mileage anxiety has not been completely solved, it seems that a hybrid model is the most compromise choice at present. So for consumers with a budget of 200,000, what are the good hybrid models looking at the market?
Speaking of hybrid models, there are currently two major factions in the mainstream of the market, the first type is the oil-electric hybrid (HEV), the other is the plug-in hybrid power (PHEV), and the 48V light hybrid is not within the scope of this discussion. Before starting the main text, let's briefly explain the main differences between the two at the level of daily use:
1. Do I need an external power supply to charge? Petro-electric hybrid models cannot be connected to an external power supply and rely directly on the engine to charge it, while plug-in hybrid models can be charged with additional power supply.
2, driving mode: gasoline-electric hybrid pure electric form distance is short, most of the cases are driven in a hybrid manner; and plug-in hybrid can support a longer distance of pure electric driving, short distance can be used as a pure tram (sufficient power).
3, the problem of the card: plug-in hybrid models can be on the new energy to take pictures (green card); oil-electric hybrid vehicles can not, some areas can be on the energy-saving license plate.
01
A list of car purchases with a budget of 200,000
Looking at the current hybrid vehicle market, in addition to toyota THS hybrid technology that is "only worth a dollar" and Honda's i-MMD hybrid system, there is also the e-POWER hybrid system that Nissan will introduce soon. Nissan e-POWER can be said to be a school of its own, its engine does not participate in the whole process of driving, only the motor power supply, is a fully electric drive hybrid system.
Among its own brands, BYD relied on its own DM-i hybrid system to apologize happily for its long delivery time; Great Wall Motor's "Lemon Hybrid DHT" entered the market as a spoiler, helping Weipai occupy more market segments; plus Chery's "Kunpeng DHT", Changan's "Blue Whale iDD" and Geely's "LeiShenzhi Qing hi · X」。
Speaking of the 200,000 budget to get into a hybrid SUV model, there is basically no chance for the joint venture brand, at least about 250,000. However, if you choose your own brand model, you can choose products with better configuration, mostly compact SUVs, and even medium-sized SUVs that are misplaced and competitive, such as Tiggo 8PLUS Kunpeng e+ and Changan UNI-K iDD.
Although the joint venture brand and the independent brand will have a relatively clear watershed, we must know that the biggest advantage of the independent brand lies in the cost performance, such as large space, more configuration, reasonable price, especially in the scientific and technological configuration of the progress is very large. And in the past two years, independent brand cars have their own advantages and unique technical highlights in terms of appearance, workmanship, comfort and hybrid system.
Therefore, below we will focus on the five domestic hybrid products of Xingyue L Thor Hybrid Edition, Song PLUS DM-i, Latte DHT, Changan UNI-K iDD and Tiggo 8 PLUS Kunpeng e+.

Who is more fuel efficient?
The technical highlights of each of the five models
As a hybrid model, fuel economy is a top priority, and an excellent powertrain minimizes fuel consumption without compromising range and power performance. Each car company will use its own black technology to integrate the hybrid powertrain into one, improve efficiency, optimize space and quality, and achieve the purpose of fuel saving.
But since we haven't done a fuel consumption test on every car, we'll be rummaging through this section
Official data and different forum posts to collect data from real netizens.
Looking at the official data alone, the most fuel-efficient is Changan UIN-K iDD. But these are only representative of the official best data, in fact, each driver's driving experience and road conditions are different, there will definitely be errors, so the above data is for reference only. So, what are the unique technical highlights of the hybrid system of these five models?
1. Star-over L Thor Hybrid Edition
Ray's Mind Hi · X
Geely Automobile's New Modular Intelligent Hybrid Platform - RayTheon Hi · X, as a modular hybrid platform, includes two hybrid-specific engines and two hybrid-specific transmissions, capable of covering Geely Xingrui, Hoshigoe S, Hoshigoe L and the Lynk & Co family.
Take the DHE15 (1.5TD) engine as an example, as the first mass-produced supercharged direct injection hybrid engine, using 360 bar high-pressure direct injection, low-pressure EGR exhaust gas recirculation, supercharged intercooler and Miller circulation mode and other technologies. The maximum power output of the engine is 110 kW, the peak torque reaches 225N·m, the thermal efficiency of the engine reaches 43.32%, and the indicated thermal efficiency reaches 52.5%, which once exceeded the thermal efficiency of 43.04% of the BYD Xiaoyun-Plug-Blend 1.5L engine.
Geely also adopted a new hybrid special transmission - DHT Pro. The hybrid special transmission integrates dual motors, transmissions, electric controllers, etc. 6 in 1 height, weighs only 120kg, has a maximum output torque of 4920N·m, and a torque ratio of 41N·m/kg.
Among them, the P1 generator is connected to the engine, and the power is greater than that of the BSG motor, which can take into account the functions of start-stop and power generation. The difference with BYD DM-i is the use of P2 drive motor, which also means that when the engine is directly driven, it must be through the participation of the transmission to select the appropriate speed ratio rear drive vehicle. But the transmission adopts a 3-speed layout, which integrates a gear shift mechanism and a double planetary gear set, giving the engine more opportunities for an efficient work area, similar to the principle of Chery's Kunpeng DHT, while the Lemon DHT only uses a two-speed shifter.
In addition, Geely's hybrid system also supports vehicle speeds of more than 20km/h, the system can enter parallel mode, using the efficient range of the engine to avoid energy loss, and can use the three-speed transmission to release 60% of the reserve energy when overtaking at high speed. The BYD DM-i car speed needs to reach more than 65km/h to enter parallel mode, and the lemon hybrid DHT enters parallel mode at a speed of more than 35km/h.
Different working modes
1. Pure electric mode: the vehicle is driven by a P2 motor with a maximum output torque of 320N·m;
2. Series mode: the engine charges the power battery pack through the P1 motor, and the P2 motor is responsible for driving the vehicle;
3, parallel mode: the engine will drive the vehicle directly, the motor will provide power supplement at the appropriate time.
In the battery part, the Geely DH15+DHT Pro hybrid system is equipped with a ternary lithium battery pack with a capacity of about 1.8 kWh, and the battery pack is placed in the passage in the middle of the seat, increasing the utilization of space. Hoshikoshi L Thor Hi · The X model is the first to use this new hybrid system, the official acceleration time of 100 kilometers is 7.9 seconds, and the fuel consumption of 100 kilometers is as low as 4.3L, which can achieve a cruising range of more than 1300 kilometers.
2、宋PLUS DM-i
BYD DM-i hybrid
ACCORDING TOD's DM dual-mode system is divided into two technical routes: DM-i and DM-p according to different use scenarios. Since the DM-p system is only a continuation of the DM3.0 system, from the overall technical content, the DM-i system is more "advanced", so this time only talk about DM-i super hybrid.
First of all, let's take a look at the power data of the system, its EHS160 electric hybrid system has a maximum speed of 16000 rpm, a maximum power of 160kW, a peak torque of 326N·m, a loss of only 3.8L/100km, and a maximum cruising range of 1245km. The most significant feature of the DM-i system is that compared with the conventional hybrid technology, the "oil hybrid" of the hybrid system is created from the perspective of the oil truck, and BYD is standing in the perspective of the tram to do the hybrid, using the "electricity-based" technical route, which is also directly related to BYD's long-term investment in the three electrics, meeting the performance indicators at the same time, the cost is also controlled.
The principle of BYD DM-i hybrid system is to use high-power motor drive + large-capacity blade battery energy supply on the architecture, and the engine is in the efficient speed range under most working conditions to generate generators, realizing the fuel-saving purpose of using less oil and more electricity.
Its components include the 7-in-1 highly integrated EHS Super Hybrid System, the 1.5L/1.5Ti Snap Cloud-Plug-in Hybrid High Efficiency Engine, the DM-i Super Hybrid Special Power Blade Battery, and the Vehicle Control System, Engine Control System, Motor Control System, and Battery Management System. The EHS electromixing system is also the core of DM-i super hybrid, which adopts a dual motor structure with series-parallel architecture, which can realize pure electricity, series, parallel, energy recovery and other working modes.
1. When the power is sufficient, it can be equated with a pure electric vehicle model, and the battery directly supplies the motor to drive the vehicle;
2. When the power is insufficient, the engine will drive the generator to generate electricity, ensuring that the motor drives the vehicle while charging the battery;
3. When it is necessary to accelerate overtaking, the engine and drive motor will drive the vehicle at the same time, which can provide abundant power;
4. When cruising at high speed, the engine is in the efficient speed range, and the engine will directly drive the vehicle.
It can be seen from this that 81% of the vehicle is driven by electricity; 18% of the working conditions of the engine is driven in series in the efficient zone; so that 99% of the working conditions are driven by electric motors, which is also the core of the DM-i system. This EHS electromix system is divided into three power versions: EHS132, EHS145 and EHS160, and the system of different power can be adapted to all models of A-C class.
The engine corresponding to the electric hybrid system with different motor power is also different, the EHS132 and EHS145 use the Snap Cloud-Plug Hybrid 1.5L engine, and the EHS160 uses the Snap Cloud-Plug Hybrid 1.5Ti engine.
The Xiaoyun-Plug-In 1.5L engine has a variety of highlights such as Atkinson cycle, ultra-high compression ratio of 15.5, high EGR rate of low-temperature exhaust gas recirculation, split cooling technology and wheelless train design, making the thermal efficiency of the Xiaoyun-Plug-Blend 1.5L engine as high as 43.04%. The Xiaoyun-plug-and-mix 1.5Ti engine has a compression ratio of 12.5, and the thermal efficiency of the 1.5Ti engine has reached 40% under the bright spots of Miller cycle, variable-section turbocharger and ultra-low friction.
In terms of batteries, BYD DM-i models use 10-20 dedicated power blade batteries, which are known to have different battery pack capacities such as 8.3kWh, 9.9kWh, 18.3kWh, and 21.5kWh.
Overall, bydIR's DM-i system will be similar to Honda's i-MMD system, both using the P1+P3 motor layout, but it is still different in terms of engine thermal efficiency. Among them, BYD's Snap Cloud-Plug Hybrid 1.5L high-efficiency engine has a thermal efficiency of 43.04%, while the iMMD engine has a maximum thermal efficiency of 40.5%.
DM-i super hybrid also adopts parallel shaft arrangement, the axial size is smaller, while the i-MMD system adopts a coaxial arrangement, the axial size is large, while limiting the size of the motor; BYD is also equipped with a super hybrid special power blade battery, which has also achieved superiority in terms of battery.
3. Latte DHT
Great Wall Lemon Hybrid DHT
The first thing to understand is DHT? DHT = Dedicated Hybrid Technology = Hybrid-specific technology, which can also be understood as the architecture of lemon hybrid DHT can also be summarized as "1-2-3", that is, a DHT highly integrated oil-electric hybrid system, two power architectures, and three powertrains.
Great Wall Motor's lemon hybrid DHT system is a hybrid technology system built with "seven-in-one" high-performance multi-mode hybrid as the core, including a 1.5L/1.5T hybrid special engine, a fixed-shaft two-speed transmission, GM/TM dual motor, dual motor controller and integrated DCDC.
The core of the system is to keep the engine efficiency at its highest point at all times, so that the efficiency of the entire system is optimal. Lemon hybrid DHT adopts a dual-motor hybrid architecture, which realizes the balance of power and fuel consumption in various driving scenarios through pure electricity, series, parallel connection, energy recovery and other modes:
1, pure electric mode: the engine and the power system disconnected, TM motor can directly drive the wheel;
2, 0-35km/h: pure electric mode and series mode intelligent switching, in the series mode, the engine drives GM power generation, TM motor alone provides driving force, to achieve pure electric driving experience, its fuel saving rate can reach 35-50%;
3, 35-65km/h: the use of power direct drive mode, the engine through the DHT power direct drive mode to drive the wheels, the drive motor is ready to intervene at any time to adjust the engine working point and auxiliary drive wheels;
4, 65km/h or more: the use of economic direct drive mode, the engine through the DHT economic direct drive mode to drive the wheels, the drive motor is ready to intervene at any time to adjust the engine working point and auxiliary drive wheels;
5, full load operation: in the four-wheel drive model, the three power units will output power at the same time, the strongest power.
Compared with the DM-i system, the lemon hybrid DHT system is only used for PHEV models, which can be applied to heV and PHEV two power forms, and can output 140kW-355kW of comprehensive power according to the two sets of hybrid special engines of 1.5L/1.5T, so that different levels of models can match the appropriate powertrain.
Three powertrains
1, 1.5L hybrid special engine + DHT100 powertrain, with Atkinson cycle, 13.1 compression ratio, external water-cooled EGR, fixed shaft two-speed transmission and other highlights, mainly used in A-class HEV/PHEV models, such as the entry-level Weipai Macchiato.
2, 1.5T hybrid special engine + DHT130 powertrain, with Miller cycle, matching VGT supercharger, external water-cooled EGR, fixed shaft two-speed transmission, cylinder head integrated exhaust manifold technology and other highlights, mainly used in B-class HEV/PHEV models, such as Wei brand latte.
3, 1.5T hybrid special engine + DHT130 + P4 rear axle motor powertrain, the maximum system total power up to 320kW, with four-wheel drive, Miller cycle, matching VGT supercharger, fixed shaft two-speed gearbox, external water-cooled EGR, cylinder head integrated exhaust manifold technology and other highlights, mainly used in C-class PHEV models, such as mocha PHEV.
In the battery part, the HEV architecture uses a 1.7kWh battery, while the PHEV architecture is equipped with a 13~45kWh battery, and the official said that the pure electric mileage can reach up to 204km.
The lemon hybrid DHT is designed to be different from a fixed gear ratio single-speed transmission, using a multi-gear engine direct drive, the highest efficiency in the full speed range. In terms of principle, DM-i super hybrid tries not to let the engine interfere in the power system, and the working mode of lemon hybrid DHT is based on working conditions, and does not skimp on the direct drive participation of the engine, but is aimed at optimizing fuel consumption.
Compared with THE BYD DM-i, which needs to reach a speed of more than 65km/h to enter the parallel mode, the lemon hybrid DHT only needs a speed of more than 35km/h to enter the parallel mode.
4. Changan UNI-K iDD
Chang'an Blue Whale iDD
The so-called Blue Whale iDD hybrid technology is the abbreviation of "intelligent Dual Drive", which can be directly translated as intelligent dual drive system, which means the combined drive of engine and motor. Blue Whale iDD hybrid system will cover a variety of hybrid technology solutions, including 48V (light hybrid system), HEV (hybrid), PHEV (plug-in hybrid), REEV (extended range hybrid) these petro-electric hybrid technology solutions, can be applied to all models of the A-C class.
The hybrid system is based on the Blue Whale 1.5T engine, the engine maximum power of 126kW, peak torque of 260N·m, thermal efficiency of 40%, the official said that the next 5 years is expected to achieve 45% thermal efficiency.
In terms of transmission system, it adopts technologies such as highly integrated wet three-clutch module, high-efficiency high-pressure hydraulic system and intelligent electronic double pump technology coupling, and its comprehensive efficiency is 90%. In addition, the Blue Whale iDD hybrid system adopts a global hybrid solution, which can provide stable power output regardless of low speed, high speed, full power and feed.
The first model equipped with the IDD hybrid system was the Changan UNI-K, which was also named UNI-K iDD. The system has a maximum comprehensive torque of 590N·m, a low fuel consumption of 5L/100km, and a comprehensive endurance of up to 1100km. At the same time, the battery level of the plug-in hybrid model is as high as 30.7kwh, the pure electric cruising range reaches 130km, and supports dc fast charging function.
5. Tiggo 8 PLUS Kunpeng e+
Chery Kunpeng DHT
Compared with the lemon hybrid DHT, the official interpretation of the Kunpeng DHT is more straightforward, the full name is "Dedicated Hybrid Transmission", which is the meaning of the hybrid special gearbox. Coupled with the word "Kunpeng", it is enough to see that this system is taking the route of performance and will be the first to be installed on the Tiggo 8 PLUS Kunpeng e+ model.
The system adopts a combination of 1.5T hybrid special engine + front dual motor + rear single motor, of which the front axle has a "dual motor drive" motor layout, which is also the most unique feature of the system. Based on the configuration of the dual motor drive, coupled with the three-speed transmission, Kunpeng DHT can achieve full-function 9 working modes with 11 combined gears to cope with the driving mode in a variety of operating conditions.
In the three-speed transmission, the one-speed ratio is relatively large, mainly used for starting acceleration. The three-speed ratio is very small, mainly to ensure that when driving at high speed, fuel consumption and noise are reduced. The two-speed ratio is mainly to take into account the shift of the first and third gears to ensure a smoothness of the gear shift, and at the same time take into account the fuel consumption at low and medium speeds and low speeds.
In addition, the engine of the Kunpeng DHT hybrid system also adopts an inverted layout, which makes the intake more direct and smooth, the combustion of the engine is more sufficient, the thermal efficiency is relatively higher than that of the upright type, and the fuel consumption is correspondingly reduced. According to the official data, the Tiggo 8 PLUS Kunpeng e+ can output a comprehensive torque of 510N·m, and the zero hundred acceleration time is 4.9 seconds.
At this stage, the Tiggo 8 PHEV version equipped with the Kunpeng drive/drive DHT system will be the first to launch the front-wheel drive model, that is, the "dual motor" model, and then launch a complete "three-motor" four-wheel drive model. In the future, large SUVs equipped with Kunpeng drive/drive DHT systems will reduce overall fuel consumption while taking into account performance.
Differences between five hybrid systems:
1, the difference in motor architecture: THE CORE OF BYD DM-i lies in the EHS electromissible system, the "dual motor + double electronic control + direct drive clutch + single gear reducer + oil cooling system" for a high degree of integration, the overall layout and Honda's i-MMD are similar, are the use of P1 + P3 motor layout, but in the layout of the motor and the capacity of the battery has changed.
From the current information, the Great Wall Lemon DHT, Chery's Kunpeng DHT and Changan's Blue Whale iDD are all integrated with the motor and the gearbox, thus forming a P2 configuration, and compatible with the P4 rear axle motor. Such a motor layout can give full play to the advantages of the traditional fuel vehicle industry, but it still depends on the performance of the gearbox, so that the performance of the whole vehicle will be limited in the case of power loss.
And Ray's Chi Chi Qing Hi · The X adopts the P1+ P2 motor layout, which makes the 3-speed gearbox more smooth when changing gears, and at low speeds, the engine can be driven in parallel to give full play to the advantages of the high-efficiency engine.
2, the logic of different working conditions: First, five different hybrid systems can achieve pure electric drive, series drive, parallel drive and energy recovery. The BYD DM-i is an "electric-based" hybrid system, so the speed can only be higher than 65km/h to allow the engine to intervene and drive the motor in parallel, which will allow the vehicle to be driven in the form of extended range in most working conditions, so that the engine is always in the range of optimal thermal efficiency, which is also related to BYD's advantages in the three-electric system.
The rest of the hybrid system is to let the working mode of the system enter the parallel state as soon as possible, using a 2-speed transmission or a 3-speed transmission, so that the fuel consumption of the engine in the direct drive state can be optimized.
This is two different hybrid strategies, BYD is in 99% of the working conditions to achieve electric drive, only in the case of high speed and rapid acceleration for the parallel mode; while the rest of the hybrid system at low speed for pure electricity and series mode, medium and high speed conditions for parallel mode, high-speed conditions for the use of engine direct drive, through the use of different speed ratios, to achieve the purpose of fuel saving.
03
Who has more room?
Regardless of mobility or household attributes, there is still a need to return to space
We collected data from real netizens in different forum posts and learned that for consumers who spend more than 200,000 yuan to buy a hybrid model, spatial performance is also one of the core points of their concern. In terms of body size, Changan UIN-K iDD has the most advantage in these five models; latte DHT is the highest of the five models.
In terms of actual riding space, due to the inability to unify the height and weight of the experiencer, the following effects are for reference only.
04
What are the highlights of each of the smart configurations?
Whether you want to buy a scooter or a family car, smart configuration will also be the place where consumers consider. Below, let's take a look at what are the eye-catching technology configurations of these five models?
In terms of intelligent interaction, Changan UNI-K iDD is equipped with the "IMS Intelligent Cockpit Interaction System". The system has practical functions such as high-speed lower road distraction reminder, fatigue driving active reminder, exclusive greeting for driving, multimedia active control, and line of sight screen.
In terms of driver assistance, some models of Changan UNI-K iDD are equipped with "IACC integrated adaptive cruise system". The system has single-lane automatic driver assistance, traffic congestion assistance, automatic deceleration cornering, intelligent speed limiting assistance and full-speed adaptive cruise.
After updating the 3.0 version, the car machine system has added 3 standby avatars and 4 weather conditions, and the special APP for hybrid models has been pre-installed, which can monitor the energy flow dynamics in real time.

Summary of the full text
When domestic products are self-reliant, these five hybrid products have their own characteristics and different styles, but they all have very ideal performance in terms of fuel economy, and their hybrid technology is not inferior to the joint venture brand. Importantly, they all integrate the common advantages of the current fuel vehicle and pure electric vehicle, which is a very recommended product in the same price point:
Hoshigoku L Thor Hybrid Edition: The interior materials are good, not to mention the configuration, plus the Thor Intelligence Engine Hi · The X system is based on, if you are pursuing a sense of luxury can be considered. However, some netizens said: which is good, but it is a three-cylinder engine.
Song PLUS DM-i: Rich in configuration, the DM-i super hybrid system gives it longer battery life and lower benefits, and can be exempt from purchase tax. However, some netizens said that the disadvantage is that the trunk is a bit small.
Latte DHT: The overall retention of the Wei brand series of workmanship, materials, sound insulation, comfort advantages. However, some netizens said that the fuel consumption is not as low as the official disclosure of 4.9L/100km, and the actual fuel consumption is 6-7L/100km.
Changan UNI-K iDD: It is good to choose it if you like a large space, the overall performance is very balanced and cost-effective. However, some netizens said that although the overall architecture of the iDD hybrid system is very mature, it is not a new technology.
Tiggo 8 PLUS Kunpeng e+: good handling, rich configuration and low fuel consumption performance, large space overall performance is also very balanced, and free purchase tax also sent green cards. But some netizens said: If you pay attention to the appearance, it probably won't get into your eyes.
As for how to choose, it also depends on personal preferences, it is recommended to go to a nearby 4S shop for a test drive test ride.
