Some time ago, The 95 gasoline rose to more than 9 pieces, and the 98 gasoline once exceeded 10 yuan, and I lined up for a long time before the price increase and sifted the last wave of wool. That night, I had the idea of changing my electric car.
But within a few days, the price of new energy vehicles also increased collectively, ranging from a few thousand to tens of thousands. This money is enough for me to run tens of thousands of kilometers, touch my pockets, or continue to drive my fuel car.
A colleague who bought the Model 3 before the price increase could not help but sigh: Tesla also has a day to become a wealth management product. However, in response to the price increase of Wuling Hongguang MINIEV, some netizens said that it was difficult to understand that "buying this car is to go cheaply, and then there is no cost performance if the price is increased."
Oil prices and trams are soaring, and how should consumers who plan to change cars or buy their first car choose in the near future? My advice: buy a hybrid model!
Theoretically, hybrid models (HEVs/PHEVs) can both use electricity and refuel, which should be an excellent choice for pure electric vehicles before they are truly mature, for consumers, and for the development of the industry.
In recent years, the new car manufacturing forces, as well as the brands based on new energy vehicles, are in a golden age of rapid growth, while the strong brands in the traditional camp are under the dual pressure of the downturn in the Hongguang market and the strong impact of new energy vehicle companies.
For these traditional car companies, "stability" is victory. The best in the mainstream joint venture brand camp is Toyota and Honda.
Not only that, Toyota's entire brand level has been in a state of growth in the past few years, and the sales volume of the two joint venture car companies in China has increased from 1.142 million units in 2017 to nearly 1.6 million units in 2021, a total increase of 40% in 5 years. Honda's sales have not increased significantly in recent years, but their annual sales have fluctuated around 1.5 million units.
As we all know, "Two Fields" can be so popular in China, in addition to stable quality, is the hybrid technology. And these two points happen to be the essential elements of a good family car.
If the budget is more than 100,000, Corolla/ Leiling double engine with closed eyes and choose casually. It is practical and practical enough to be able to hold a family owned. It is also fuel-efficient, and a tank of oil can easily run a distance of 800 kilometers. It's also durable, and people often joke that you can't drive a Corolla/Raling out of the way. It doesn't have too many surprises, and we're happy to embrace that security.
In addition, with the blessing of TNGA, you can also see their bold pursuit of driving, making the original boiling water driving experience become passionate.
Want to have a larger riding space, Lingpai hybrid is also a good choice, the addition of i-MMD hybrid system, so that the motor becomes the main force driving the vehicle, the engine is only in the need to intervene and always keep in the best working state. While delivering excellent driving quality, it also delivers fuel economy comparable to the Corolla/Ralink dual engine.
Of course, in order to meet the different needs of each family, "Two Fields" is also based on their respective hybrid systems, extending out various levels of models, covering all ages, different car scenes, if you are a pragmatist, "Two Fields" is a choice that will not go wrong.
If the "Two Fields" is too simple interior and slightly lacking intelligent configuration can not impress you, BYD DM-i's long waiting cycle makes you lose interest, then I will recommend you Macchiato DHT.
In my opinion, the Great Wall's lemon DHT hybrid system is completely underestimated, and the blame is that the delivery was too late, and it was completely stolen by BYD DM-i and seized the mind. But just as the so-called good meal is not afraid of late, the Great Wall set of lemon DHT is more precise and complex in comparison.
Unlike the relatively simple DM-i, which is almost entirely copied from the Honda i-MMD, the Lemon DHT adds a two-speed transmission in structure, which allows it to freely adjust the engine speed and load, allowing the engine to run at economic speeds over a wider operating range. So that the vehicle at high speed engine speed can be kept lower, is conducive to improving fuel economy.
Switch to the power gear when strong power is required, at which point the engine drives directly with the motor in parallel to drive the wheels, so the Macchiato DHT can take care of both power and fuel economy.
Although the Macchiato DHT is obviously not such a speed-oriented product, the official 100 km/h acceleration can also achieve 8.5 seconds, on this basis, the fuel consumption of 100 km/h is as low as 4.7L. I have measured, this fuel consumption score is not big moisture, in full accordance with normal driving habits to drive, and finally ran out of 5.2L of 100 km fuel consumption, if a little leisurely, to achieve the official NEDC fuel consumption results should not be a big problem.
Of course, consumers who buy Macchiato DHT are not only for fuel consumption, but also for the configuration of interior materials. Macchido's interior materials continue the WEY brand luxury standard, and the 14.6-inch central control screen is full of technology, which not only gives people a strong visual impact, but also the car and machine experience is also first-class.
The interface UI design is simple and clear, the screen clarity and response speed are fast enough, and the functional configuration inside is also available, which basically covers the daily needs of consumers.
So if you want a model that takes into account both intelligence and fuel economy, Macchiato is a good choice, and it is not inferior to Song PLUS DM-i in terms of comprehensive strength.
"If you want the horse to run, you want the horse not to eat grass" is very difficult, especially if the horse is still big and runs fast. But the second-generation Trumpchi GS8 dual engine version did it.
The Trumpchi GS8 twin engine is powered by a 2.0T+ Toyota 4th-generation THSII, which is the first power combination of a Chinese brand equipped with Toyota's new fourth-generation THS hybrid system, and the world's first powertrain to match the THS hybrid system with a turbocharged engine.
In order to verify that "run fast, eat less", Trumpchi GS8 Hybrid also carried out the WLC/NEDC standard fuel consumption test at the National Automotive Quality Inspection and Inspection Center. The results show that the fuel consumption of 100 km of NEDC condition is 5.31L, and the performance of WLTC condition is 5.93L.
In a wave of horizontal comparison, BYD Tang DM-i's minimum 100-kilometer fuel consumption under power loss is also 5.3L, and the Highlander/Crown Land Amp dual engine version is also at this level. If combined with the GS8 hybrid 6.9 seconds of 100 km/h acceleration performance, this system is really not simple.
Of course, as a main family model, comfort can not be sloppy at all. The hybrid system can keep the engine in the most comfortable working area as much as possible, as long as you do not step on the throttle, the engine can not carry a little wave.
In addition, a large number of sound insulation materials are also used in the car, which isolates most of the wind noise and tire noise, and also provides a quiet riding environment in the car. What impressed me the most was that the seats were really soft, and it was all about taking care of the passengers' comfort.
In addition, it also provides a 6/7-seat version, because the 7-seat version is a 2+3+2 seat layout, if it is fully loaded, passengers entering and leaving the third row will be cumbersome, so if you want to take care of the comfort of each passenger, I personally recommend the 6-seat version.
Looking at the price again, the entry price of the 6-seat dual engine version is less than 230,000 yuan, which is cheaper than the Highlander dual engine version by tens of thousands, and trumpchi GS8 will not lose to highlander in terms of power, configuration and comfort, if you are a consumer who pursues cost performance, then trumpchi GS8 is undoubtedly a better choice.
In the eyes of many people, hybrid is only a transitional product after all, and the future belongs to pure electricity after all. These views have been sublimated again by the big guys in the car circle with "I don't understand why there are still people buying oil cars".
Yes, in the long run, pure electric is the most likely inevitable outcome at the moment, and hybridization is only one of the transitions. But don't forget that everything that ignores the cost of time to talk about the future is a hooligan. After all, in the long run, we are all dead in the end, so is it necessary to...?
So don't confuse the future trend with the current consumption concept, if the cycle of a family changing vehicles is less than the "transition period" that everyone often says, then is it a better choice to choose a fuel vehicle or hybrid model at the moment? And even if you choose a hybrid model now, you must continue to choose a hybrid car decades later?
Is it because the future trend is pure electric vehicles, we must now immediately invest in the immature charging environment? Before the charging equipment cannot be fully covered, the charging efficiency cannot be qualitatively improved, and the battery technology has not really broken through, pure electric vehicles will often become a burden on family travel because of problems such as charging convenience.
For consumers who have to take on the task of traveling the whole family with one car, hybrid models are still the optimal solution at this stage.
