Saving fuel and not saving money is the inherent cognition of many people for hybrid models.
As early as 2012, when Toyota introduced THS hybrid technology to domestic Camry models, everyone found this problem. The ordinary fuel version of the Camry costs less than 200,000 yuan, while the hybrid version of the Camry costs as much as 300,000 yuan, and there is no discount. The price difference of nearly 100,000 yuan, according to the oil price of about 5 liters at that time, almost 20 tons of gasoline can be bought, that is, the fuel version of the Camry can travel more than 200,000 kilometers, so what is the significance of hybrid fuel saving?
Subsequently, Honda launched i-MMD hybrid technology on the Accord model, breaking the situation that Toyota is dominant in the HEV field, and finally ushered in a wave of price reductions for Toyota hybrid models. Still taking the Camry as an example, the hybrid dual engine version of the model is only about 30,000 yuan more expensive than the fuel version.
You may still be a little dissatisfied with the price difference of 30,000 yuan, but in the current era when The 92 gasoline is close to 9 yuan / liter, the hybrid model is becoming more and more fragrant.
As we all know, once a Chinese brand enters a field, it means a significant reduction in the price, which is undoubtedly a good thing for consumers. On the evening of March 30, Beijing time, Xingyue L Thunder God Intelligence Qing Hi · The X oil-electric hybrid version was launched, and two versions of the new car were launched, priced at 171,700 yuan and 183,700 yuan respectively.
Autonomous compact SUV, the starting price dares to exceed 170,000, Geely is not crazy?
Crazy or not crazy, but also look at this set of thunder god intelligence Hi · The true fuel consumption performance of the X hybrid system and the price gap with the approximate configuration model can only be known.
Let's talk about Thor's Mind Hi· X This oil-electric hybrid system consists of a Miller cycle engine and a 3-speed DHT hybrid gearbox, as well as a series of batteries, motors, and electronic control systems.
At the engine level, the engine load is controlled by changing the inlet valve closing angle, thereby reducing the loss of engine pump air, so as to achieve efficient operation. Coupled with the 350 bar high-pressure direct injection and low-pressure RRGR exhaust gas recirculation system, as well as a series of technologies to improve the efficiency of the engine, the 1.5T engine has a thermal efficiency of 43.32%, and is currently in the world's leading position.
The second is this 3-gear DHT Pro hybrid exclusive gearbox, its appearance makes Ray's mind and power Hi · X entered the era of dual motors. Among them, the P1 motor is mainly connected to the engine and is mainly used to generate electricity, and the P2 motor responsible for driving the vehicle is the P2 motor. The DHT Pro hybrid transmission is connected to the P1 motor and acts as a generator and start-stop motor at the same time, and part-time allows the engine to start more smoothly and reach the efficient working range.
The C0 clutch connected to the engine and GM motor decouples the engine and gearbox, and the C0 clutch is disconnected when driving purely electrically and idling the engine, as well as charging the battery pack. The P2 motor integrates a gear shift mechanism and a double planetary gear set, which acts as a power shunt and provides different transmission ratios.
Simple technical explanation is a bit boring, say something about the fuel consumption that consumers are most concerned about, in the previous two valuable test drives, this Star Yue L Thunder God Intelligence Engine Hi · The comprehensive fuel consumption of the X hybrid version model is only 5.X liters per 100 kilometers, which is indeed very fuel-efficient for a large man weighing nearly 1.8 tons.
In contrast, the Hoshikoshi L equipped with a 2.0T engine has a combined fuel consumption of 8.X liters under similar conditions, saving nearly 3 liters for almost 100 kilometers. According to the current unit price of 92 gasoline 8.6 yuan / liter, the same driving 100 kilometers, Xingyue L Thunder God Intelligence Engine Hi · The X hybrid version can save 25.8 yuan, and the more traffic jams and urban road conditions, the more fuel costs will be saved.
Let's talk about the price configuration of the two hybrid models.
First of all, comparing the hybrid high-end with the two-wheel drive high-end with the 165,200-yuan price, the two cars at the configuration level are not much different, and their price difference is 18,500 yuan. Then look at the low-end model, the hybrid low-end price of 171,700 yuan and the two-wheel drive mid-matching price of 155,200 yuan are compared, and the same configuration level is very similar, and their price difference is 16,500 yuan.
It can be concluded that Hoshikoshi L Thunder God Intelligence Engine Hi · The X Hybrid Edition rose by about $17,000 after putting aside the cost impact of the configuration.
The price gap in this part, almost 30,000 kilometers to return to the cost, and with the increase of mileage, the cost gap of the car will become larger and larger, so that the owner can fully appreciate the low fuel consumption fun brought by the hybrid system.
It is worth mentioning that in the field of Japanese brands in the past, the power performance of hybrid models is weaker than that of pure fuel models, because they prefer to use naturally aspirated engines with relatively low power output considering the thermal efficiency of the engine. On the Hoshigoshi L model, whether it is a hybrid model or a traditional fuel model equipped with a 2.0T engine, the acceleration time of the two models is 7.9 seconds from 0-100km/h, which maintains a high degree of consistency. As a result, the same power performance is guaranteed while achieving lower fuel consumption.
At the same time, the characteristics of the electric drive make the acceleration of this car more linear, smoother and quieter, achieving a perfect improvement in comprehensive performance. Therefore, in the product of Hoshikoshi L, it is equipped with Thor's Intelligence Engine Hi · The hybrid version of X is more worth buying.
Of course, the Hoshigoku L hybrid only kicked off the prelude to the Geely HEV banner, followed by Hi · X-hybrid Emgrand L is the real staple food. If the pricing is reasonable and the energy efficiency is outstanding, I believe that it can make a big difference in the compact family car, which is a must-fight place.
