It is not easy to make money, and now the price of oil is soaring, and the friends who drive to work around are bitter. But if you want to change to an electric car, you have begun to increase prices. What to do? I don't know if friends have considered plug-in hybrids, don't say that this type of model is a chicken rib, because the new cars are no longer the same, they really do the advantages of fuel vehicles and electric vehicles in one.
When it comes to plugging and mixing, many friends may think of some independent brands. So is there a good choice for joint venture brands with quality endorsement? Of course, the best sold in the joint venture plug-in mix is the Buick micro blue 6 PHEV, and the other is the Toyota Corolla Dual Engine E+. In particular, the micro blue 6 became the leader of the joint venture brand with nearly 8,000 units in the first quarter of this year. The two have their own advantages, choosing one is indeed a bit difficult, today the old horse will come to give you a good analysis and analysis, to compare who is better than it.
Fuel consumption is very low, and the micro blue 6 PHEV is more powerful
Plug-in and plug-in, the most important thing is naturally their hybrid system. In this regard, the two models have both similarities and differences. The similarity is that they are all equipped with hybrid-specific engines and match the E-CVT gearbox. These two aspects are definitely the core components of the plug-and-mix model, and they are also the key to fuel saving.
In the work, the special person can play a greater role, used in the automotive field, that is, "special aircraft special" in order to achieve greater efficiency. With the assistance of driving the motor, the fuel engine in the plug-in mix system does not have to take on so much work, it has to do one thing, run at a higher efficiency in more time, and the rest is left to the motor. Whether it is the 1.5L engine of the micro blue 6 or the 1.8L engine of Toyota, it follows this principle.
When the engine works, when the motor works, and when the two need to work together, a smart power distribution mechanism is needed, and the E-CVT gearbox plays this role. As a hybrid "big guy", the strength of Toyota's E-CVT gearbox is beyond doubt, and compared with the slightly blue 6 PHEV as a newcomer, it is definitely not to be underestimated, and even has the meaning of the Yangtze River back wave pushing the front wave.
Its E-CVT transmission has a universal patented two-row planetary gear set with 2 continuous variable speed ratio ranges + 1 fixed speed ratio, so the engine and motor are in the high efficiency zone at high speed conditions, which is better than the same level of single-row planetary gear insertion and mixing technology.
The differences in the powertrain between the two cars, one of which was mentioned above, the micro blue 6 PHEV engine displacement was 1.5L, while the Coronal Dual Engine E+ was 1.8L. Do not simply judge from this that the power of the micro blue 6 is weaker than the Corolla, the actual situation is just the opposite. Because the Corolla is a single motor, the Micro Blue 6 is equipped with dual motors.
In terms of parameters, the combined power of the micro-blue 6 PHEV system is 135kW, and the comprehensive torque is 380Nm, while the comprehensive power of the Corolla system is only 100kW, and the comprehensive torque data is not provided. The domestic authoritative media measured zero hundred acceleration, micro blue 6 PHEV is about 8 seconds, Corolla dual engine E+ is more than 11 seconds, the gap of 3 seconds has been very obvious.
Some people may say that I don't care about power when I buy a mixed car, and fuel saving is king. The combined fuel consumption of the Corolla Dual Engine E+ under NEDC conditions is 1.3L/100km. Under the same NEDC working conditions, the comprehensive fuel consumption of the micro blue 6 PHEV is 1.4L/100km, which is almost the same in terms of fuel saving, and it is also a draw.
In terms of other important parameters, also under the condition of NEDC, the micro blue 6 PHEV has a pure electric mileage of 50 km, and the Corolla dual engine E+ is 55 km. On the books, the Corolla Dual Engine E+ is slightly better, but the mileage of the measured micro blue 6 is more real, and more importantly, the price of the micro blue 6 PHEV is lower, how to see it is more worth starting.
Oh, there is another very important problem to say, that is, the NVH performance of the engine, the case of motor drive, once the engine intervenes, the noise and vibration will be very obvious if it is not well controlled, and friends who have driven Toyota hybrids should have a deep understanding. It just so happens that I have test-driven both the Toyota Hybrid and the Slightly Blue 6 PHEV, and I can responsibly say that the involvement of the Micro blue 6 PHEV engine is more imperceptible.
The design style is very different, and the intelligent micro blue 6 PHEV wins
Of course, we buy a car in many ways, good looks, functional configuration is also indispensable. To talk about looks, judged by my personal aesthetic, the slight blue 6 wins. Corolla double engine E+ needless to say, there is no obvious difference between the design and the ordinary Corolla, but the details are changed, such as the middle net has been replaced by a dot matrix, the internal structure of the headlights is different, and there are some mixed logos on the body, there is nothing new.
The slight blue 6 PHEV adopts a new design from the outside to the inside. I test-drove it when it first hit the market a few years ago, and it was amazing at the time, and it's still the same way I see it now. The source of the surprise is its unique body form, which combines the characteristics of hatchbacks, station wagons and MPVs, if you choose the exclusive turquoise blue color, then on the street, the most beautiful boy is you.
The slight blue 6 plug blend combines design and practicality, and it is indeed the case. The lower roof, as well as several distinct folds on the side of the car, bring a youthful and dynamic visual effect.
At the same time, its large tailgate determines that it is much more convenient to take items than the average sedan, and coupled with the flat platform formed by the folding of the rear seat backrest, the possibility of further expanding the space can be further expanded.
Inside the car, Corolla can also be described as "bland", really consistent in appearance, spending 200,000 yuan to buy such an interior, I certainly can't convince myself.
Although the slight blue 6 PHEV does not have the strong sense of technology of the current new car, the smart design is also very attractive. Buick family-style surround design, rich sense of layering. The full LCD instrument and the suspension central control screen are also more in line with the current aesthetic and use habits. The blue outer ring of the steering wheel LOGO, the blue start button and the blue elements at the seat door can highlight their new energy identity.
A car machine that is smart enough can bring more convenience to our daily car. Weilan 6 PHEV has built-in Buick eConnect intelligent interconnection technology, and we commonly use voice interaction, online navigation, Apple CarPlay and Baidu CarLife smartphone mapping, online entertainment, OTA upgrades and other functions.
OnStar full-time online assistant also provides 5 modules, 11 categories and 58 services, users can realize vehicle charging operation, remote control, smart home, AR intelligent car book, emergency rescue system and other multi-dimensional protection covering car life services and car life safety through iBuick APP, coupled with 100G lifetime free traffic per year, users can enjoy intelligent car experience.
As for Corolla, as we all know, Japanese car machines have always been a bit out of step with the times, not to mention that The Corolla Dual Engine E+ also uses the design of the previous generation.
summary
On the aspects that everyone usually pays more attention to when buying a car, a comparative analysis of the two cars has been carried out, and who is stronger in product strength, I believe everyone understands that the micro blue 6 PHEV is both young and practical, intrinsic and not vulgar, and the price is more affordable. It sold so well in the first quarter, and the quality was there for all to see. Still that sentence, after all, it is not easy to make money, I believe that everyone has their own answer.
