In recent years, with the continuous innovation of independent brand hybrid technology, it has gradually changed the situation that the joint venture brand is dominant in the domestic hybrid market, and gradually began to occupy a dominant position, and behind this, it is absolutely indispensable to the voice of consumer recognition.
In my opinion, the main advantage of a good hybrid model is energy saving, especially the technology dominated by plug-in hybrid. Due to the soaring international oil prices today, more and more people are hovering in the ideological struggle of "can't afford to drive and dare not drive", and this also reflects a reality, under the just demand of national cars, what kind of car can make users not do the choice of whether to drive in such a severe environment? Emgrand L Thor Hi · X gives the answer.
Let's briefly understand this model, the new car is Geely's second model to adopt "Thor hybrid technology", and the first model is the Hoshigoku L Thor Hi · X。 But the difference is that the Emgrand L Thor Hi · X is the first sedan super hybrid model under this technology, the biggest feature is the use of plug-in hybrid power in Raytheon hybrid technology, which has further improved the energy-saving effect.
In terms of appearance, Emgrand L Thor Hi · X as a whole basically continues the design language of the fuel version, but in the details have been optimized and adjusted, in which, the two side headlight groups use blackening treatment, the internal integration of lenses and pulsed LED lights, and the grille is connected, the visual sense of integration is relatively strong, more than some of the new energy vehicle sense of science and technology.
In terms of interior, the new car adopts a relatively simple design language, providing a three-spoke multi-function steering wheel, a full LCD instrument panel, a suspended central control screen and an electronic gear; the air conditioning outlet also adopts a penetrating design, which plays an excellent role in embellishing the interior grade.
Finally, let's talk about the power of this car.
Emgrand L Thor Hi · X features Thor's Mind Hi· X hybrid technology, equipped with a 1.5TD engine, the drivetrain is matched with a 3-speed electric drive transmission (DHT Pro). According to the official, the maximum endurance under full fuel is 1300km. What should be mentioned here is that compared with the inherent cognition of "only saving fuel and not exerting force" of plug-in hybrid models in the past, the driving experience such as power, control, and speed increase of the vehicle is all left behind. And Emgrand L Thor Hi · X changes this thinking, its 0-100km/h acceleration time only needs 6.9 seconds 1 power is strong, and can maintain a power loss of 3.8L/100km fuel consumption under the premise of this ability, so it is enough to show that this set of "Thor hybrid technology" does have extraordinary strength, so how does it do it?
First of all, this Thor 1.5TD turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, and the use of Geely Raytheon Aeros combustion system, optimize the intake energy, greatly increase the intake energy, so that the fuel and air quickly mix, improve fuel economy, to achieve a combustion rate of <0.01s. In addition, the engine is also equipped with a 350 bar fuel high-pressure direct injection system, which can improve the quality of fuel atomization, so that the gasoline atomization particles are only 8 microns, the continuous injection time is < 1.3 milliseconds, and the exhaust emission is reduced to 50%. The combustion efficiency of oil and gas is fully improved.
Not only that, this engine is equipped with a low-inertia electronically controlled turbocharger, and its reaction time is 18% higher than that of the same class, and the power has achieved a substantial leap forward, improving the driving pleasure.
It is worth noting that the new car has 4 hybrid modes, including pure electric mode, parallel mode, series mode and direct drive mode. Among them, in pure electric mode, the new car can use its own 100km pure electric endurance to apply for short commuting, and users can select pure electric mode in the setting to drive as a pure electric vehicle. In parallel mode, the engine of the new car is driven together with the motor, and the acceleration time of 0-100km/h is 6.9 seconds. According to the official, the engine can enter at a speed of more than 20km/h in this mode. In series mode, the engine generates electricity to drive the wheels, which is actually a way of battery charge management, similar to the pure electric mode above. Finally, when the working conditions are suitable or the engine is working efficiently, the direct drive of the engine is more used through the 3-speed ratio, and the power is transmitted directly to the wheels.
In addition, with the help of the power shunt device, DHT Pro transmission can also achieve a total of 20 driving modes in addition to the above four, the system can identify the driver's driving habits, road congestion, realize driving mode adaptation, self-learning and self-adjustment, automatically select and switch 20 driving modes, and exert the energy-saving effect of the vehicle to the extreme.
Editor's Summary: Overall, I personally think emgrand L Thor Hi · X is a test of Geely's use of Raytheon hybrid technology in the mid-range model market, as can be seen from the model platform and configuration. So when this car is listed later, I predict that there will be a price range of about 150,000 yuan. However, Emgrand L Thor Hi · The arrival of X can be said to have blocked the hybrid models of the joint venture brand out of the door, making the domestic hybrid car market the world of independent brands, and Emgrand L Raytheon Hi · Whether X can stand out in this competition, we will wait and see.
