Hi, this is the first push of the new electric map NET (New Electric Trip). In 2022, we who "mixed" the automotive media for many years decided to go from 0 to 1 and make a brand new car number.
There are thousands of self-media, what should the new number do? We believe that there is nothing to hide from the "hot spots" of self-media, so we choose to pay attention to new energy vehicles and pay attention to the appearance of future travel. But more importantly, the value of the content, maintaining independent observation of the industry, decoding useful and fun new energy vehicle information, is our "background".
New energy vehicles are experiencing the development from "1" to "100", pure electricity and hybrid power have erupted separately, the relationship between consumers, media and OEMs has accelerated to reconstruction, and new and old forces have "loved and killed each other"... Starting today, the new electrograph NET will accompany you to punch in the great changes of new energy vehicles.
Good food is not afraid of late, enjoy~
When several friends around me were waiting in line for the bus, I knew how hot the BYD DM-i, known as the "super hybrid", was. The order growth far higher than the production capacity makes the entire pick-up cycle as long as three or four months, in addition to making users shout "refund money", it is also the envy of peers.
How long can DM-i fire? The short term is certainly not to worry. Just from the long-term perspective, after Geely, Great Wall, Chang'an, Chery and other brands have entered the game, mixing this cake may no longer be eaten by BYD alone. And Kunpeng e+ from Chery is one of the competitive opponents. After a short experience with the Tiggo 8 PLUS Kunpeng e+, I am even more convinced of this.
Talking about technology - what are the highlights of Kunpeng e+
Simply put, Kunpeng e+ is a two-motor plug-in hybrid system. The official has long summarized its core, called "3 engines, 3 gears, 9 modes and 11 speeds".
"3 engines" refers to one engine and two motors. The engine is still chery's old main force, 1.5T four-cylinder EFI, not new but mature and reliable. The two motors adopt a miniaturized design, which are P2 motor (connected to the engine output and the transmission input) and P2.5 motor (located at the transmission input), and the entire transmission structure is relatively compact.
The three engines in one can output 240 kilowatts of comprehensive power and 565 Nm of comprehensive torque, and the acceleration of 100 kilometers is only 7 seconds, which is fierce enough. If you want by-BYD DM-p's straight-line crazy level, chery will also launch a four-engine four-wheel drive version with a rear axle motor, breaking the hundred in 4.9 seconds. Wait, party, please start your performance.
As the name suggests, "3 gears" refers to a 3-speed DHT transmission. The speed ratio of the three gears corresponds to the three working conditions of less than 20km/h, 20-100km/h, and more than 100km/h, that is, the three commonly used intervals of low speed, medium speed and high speed.
Through the gear switching of the gearbox and the various states in which the power system is involved, the effect of "9 modes and 11 speeds" can be achieved, that is, 9 different drive modes and 11 corresponding driving conditions. I will not repeat what it is, look at the above PPT on the line (steal a lazy).
In short, the entire system can maintain the most efficient working state under different working conditions. According to official data, the pure electric endurance of Tiggo 8 Kunpeng e+ is 100 kilometers, the measured power consumption is only 16.7kWh/100km, and the comprehensive fuel consumption of 100 kilometers is lower to 1L/100km, which can really be described as fuel saving, power saving, and more money.
Talk about the experience - how does Kunpeng e+ perform?
I believe that seeing here, everyone wants to know how much fuel saving, electricity saving and money saving is how much Tiggo 8 Kunpeng e+ has. In fact, I am also like everyone else, but on the day of the test drive, the conditions are not allowed, and I can only drive a short section of urban roads and highways. If you want to get long-term data such as battery life and fuel consumption, you really can't do anything. Of course, if I can get a test drive in the future, I will definitely test it in detail for you.
So, let's put aside the energy consumption and talk about the experience of this powertrain! Although I said a lot of working conditions, driving modes and the like, for ordinary consumers, you only need to put the driving mode in normal mode (NORMAL). As for whether to use EV (pure electric mode) or HEV (hybrid mode), it needs to be discussed in different groups.
Pure electric mode, suitable for daily urban transportation, and convenient charging conditions for people. You know, 100 kilometers of pure electric endurance, most people should be able to use two or three days. If you make up the electricity once every two or three days, you can use it as a pure tram, and you can only spend the electricity bill. Today, when the No. 92 oil broke the 8-block mark, it is really a fragrant explosion.
And after my personal testing, even if you run to the early 100km/h on the expressway, as long as the power is not at a very low level, the engine will still not intervene, and the power loss speed is not fast. And because the engine does not intervene, the smoothness of the power system, and even the quietness of the sound insulation, can be compared with pure trams. So, for conditional users, I highly recommend using pure electric mode all the time.
For other users, especially those who do not have charging conditions (no pile or no time), then there is nothing wrong with the hybrid mode. As long as there is still oil, the power will not be in a state of depletion, and at low speeds, it can still be driven in the form of a pure tram, smooth and quiet. After the engine intervenes, the connection of the power is not abrupt, the sense of presence on the sound is not strong, and there is nothing cheap. Overall, I think the set of momentum is very well done and there are very few impeccable points.
As for other aspects, the performance of the Tiggo 8 PLUS Kunpeng e+ is also easy to accept. For example, the steering force is light enough, and the sound insulation level is also in the middle and upper reaches of the same level, which is certainly in line with the general public's preferences. Just to create a solid feeling, the suspension is still adjusted to be hard, there are more bumps in the incoming carriage, and the filter level is not outstanding.
Talk about the price - Tiggo 8 PLUS Kunpeng e+, actually than Song Plus Dm-i is still "buying"?
Finally, let's talk about the price. Judging from the two models currently on the market, the low-end is 151,800 yuan and the high-end is 165,800 yuan, which is just slightly lower than the direct competitor Song PLUS DM-i 110KM model. Looking further closely, the configuration of the Tiggo 8 PLUS Kunpeng e+ is slightly inferior, but the body size is larger, and there is a unique advantage of 7 seats, I believe that consumers are still easy to perceive its cost performance. From a penny-for-money perspective, the Tiggo 8 PLUS Kunpeng e+ has done well enough.
Coupled with the comprehensive experience, Kunpeng e+ is indeed a high-quality power, enough to make Chery a competitive brand in the future. Coupled with practical factors such as policy inclination, high oil prices, and consumers' anxiety about endurance, I can boldly say that Kunpeng e+, the future can be expected.
