Finally, the hybrid that had previously been misjudged as a chicken rib had become a pot of porridge in the east, west, south, and north, and the various sects that were lined up had officially stood on their opposite sides. Of course, as one of the cores of the hybrid system, the motor and the battery are negotiable, and the problem and the point of opposition always appear in the middle of the internal combustion engine that "mixes" oil and electricity together. For example, the newly baked Hoshikoshi L Thor Hi-X and Changan UNI-K iDD are like this, although they all hang the title of hybrid, but the implementation method is simply eight immortals across the sea, and the choice pressure seems to have come to the user's side again.
Price first, it's always right
As the question goes, considering that the price accounts for a considerable proportion of the transaction, it is always right to choose the price first. First of all, the official guidance price of Changan UNI-K iDD is 17.69-192,900, and two models are available. The price range of Star Yue L Thor Hi-X is 17.17-18.37 million yuan, which is also a high and low matching of two models to choose from, if only from the price point of view, The star more L Thor Hi-X Here threshold is slightly lower.
Of course, the price difference will always be reflected in the product, where the positioning of the mid-size SUV UNI-K iDD in the size number than the compact Hoshikoshi L Thor Hi-X is better looking, the body length of the 4865mm is more powerful than the 4770mm of the Hoshikoshi L, but to say that the wheelbase of the UNI-K iDD 2890mm will produce a qualitative difference in space than the 2845mm of the Hoshiga L Thor Hi-X, it is still a bit exaggerated.
And if you remove the positioning from the design considerations, UNI-K iDD and Hoshikoshi L Thor Hi-X have to be drawn into the more radical avant-garde one. Of course, too avant-garde will always cause polarized word of mouth and evaluation, in this regard, these two competitors can only be said to be half a pound to eight two, too subjective appearance effect, can only look at personal aesthetic preferences.
Summary: Price Star Yue L Thor Hi-X is dominant, size UNI-K iDD is superior
iDD vs Thor Hi-X
Considering that after the price and positioning, the configuration has always been the traditional advantage of the autonomous camp, and the hybrid system of the two is also the first time to enter the market test, so the importance of the power is worth its position in the space.
From the perspective of the dazzling and unknown architecture, the iDD hybrid system adopts a three-clutch scheme, that is, on the basis of the dual clutch, a set of clutches is added to the motor to achieve switching between different working conditions, which is simpler to achieve. The Thor Hi-X adopts two sets of planetary gears coupled into a three-speed gearbox scheme, similar to the Toyota THS + Honda i-MMD version of the magic change, the control logic is more complex, but the degree of freedom in the control mode is also higher.
Based on two different architectures, and the relevant data released by the final official, the hybrid system on the Star Yue L Thor Hi-X is more powerful based on the 100kW motor, while the Blue Whale iDD side is more dependent on the engine, and the acceleration performance is not as crisp as the Thor Hi-X. Of course, the fuel consumption during power consumption may not be dominant to some extent.
However, it is worth emphasizing that the engine in the Raytheon Hi-X system is a 1.5T three-cylinder version, and the lack of charging makes it economically limited under the conditions of daily use of the car. The UNI-K iDD side is based on a 1.5T four-cylinder blue whale engine as the core, and it also supports a pure electric endurance of 130km. In this way, the choice is relatively simple, if there is no fixed charging parking space, Xingyue L Thor Hi-X is more suitable, if you have your own parking space, after installing the charging pile, low-cost daily travel, it is more fragrant.
Summary: How to choose, or look at the parking space and charging conditions
Configure this piece, the gap is very clear
Finally, looking at the configuration part, how to choose this proportional hybrid system is much simpler, there is a yes, no is no, between 0 and 1 is so simple.
Not much nonsense, look directly at the conclusion. If the car purchase budget is relatively limited and limited to the low-end version of the two models, then the Hoshigoku L Thor Hi-X will be worth a look, after all, the extra lane keeping and other auxiliary driving functions can provide more playability and active safety protection, while seat ventilation and heating, induction trunk, etc. can also provide more luxury experience.
But if the car purchase budget is more sufficient, there is no doubt that the higher price UNI-K iDD can give more experience possibilities. First of all, gesture control and facial recognition in the field of technology provide a better interactive environment, and HiCar extension can also give another kind of car experience. The comfort part is to make the texture more full with fur seats, car air purification, 14-speaker SONY sound, etc., which is almost interesting to the Hoshikoshi L Thor Hi-X.
Summary: Low budget to see Hoshikoshi L Thor Hi-X, high budget to see UNI-K iDD
Taste of the car:
For how to choose a hybrid vehicle, in fact, in the current situation, which does not have too much user data support, the choice can only follow the traditional way of demand first. Between hoshigoku L Thor Hi-X and UNI-K iDD, if you want a more comfortable and comprehensive driving experience and lower daily travel costs, the latter is the best choice, and vice versa, the former is superior, how to choose, in fact, there is no accurate answer, demand and budget, is the key.
