In recent years, it is a rare victory for independent car brands. Not only has it made outstanding achievements in the new energy market, but it is inseparable from joint ventures and imported models. It has successfully entered the high-end automobile market and changed the cheap attributes of the past. This makes Uncle Che, who is "his own family", also quite proud.
Recently, BYD's 2022 Tang EV was officially released, the price range of new cars is 300,000 to 350,000, and it is expected to be listed in mid-May, and the emergence of new cars will also become a bridgehead for BYD to attack the high-end market.
Seeing this, Uncle Che can't help but wonder, when the new energy high-end model meets the fuel high-end model, who has a brighter performance?
As a few high-end models in the fuel market, the Hongqi HS5 has been officially listed in September last year, with a price range of 183,800-249,800 yuan, which belongs to the same level of "traffic players" in terms of appearance, interior and configuration.
So, when these two models meet, what kind of visual feast will be brought to us? Today, let Uncle Che find out for everyone.
"Joint venture viewing pieces (three major pieces), domestic face (exterior design)", although it is a joke, but the independent brand has a lot of experience in appearance design, and this is also reflected in the two models. Last year's updated 2022 Hongqi HS5 has become more and more exquisite and advanced in terms of design. The honeycomb + straight waterfall design of the middle net, with the chrome elements surrounding it, lays a strong high-level foundation. Of course, the matrix headlights designed in harmony with the grille, the penetrating lower encirclement of the built-in fog lights and the blackened decorative panels that play a decorative role have added a lot of brilliance to the front face.
The side of the 2022 Hongqi HS5 generally follows the previous design, using a design that runs through the double waist line + suspension roof, which can well highlight the bone and bone feeling of the SUV model. The chrome elements on the side skirts, windows and luggage racks allow it to successfully accommodate a sense of premium and sportiness.
In terms of size, the length, width and height of The Hongqi HS5 are 4760/1907/1700 mm, the wheelbase is 2870mm, which belongs to the standard medium-sized SUV size, the driving space is spacious and comfortable, the storage space is reasonable and orderly, and it can meet the requirements of domestic users for "big".
The tail performance is decent, with a total of two exhaust gases + matrix headlights + chrome elements on both sides, which is not tacky or trendy. High-end models will also be equipped with an induction-opening electric tailgate, which improves convenience.
In contrast, The performance of Tang EV is more "young" and "science fiction", and its use of the family standard "Dragon Face" pure electric series low wind resistance front face, closed grille, black split headlights, and throughout the surrounding, all make Tang EV have a sense of youthful vitality.
The side is similar to the Hongqi HS5, with a suspended roof, an upturned double waistline body, and a large number of chrome elements. Although the elements of the two models overlap, the visual effect is indeed more refined.
In terms of size, the length, width and height of Tang EV are 4900/1950/1725 mm, and the wheelbase is 2820mm, which is 30mm more than the length of the previous model, which greatly improves the available space of the whole vehicle, so that the new car undoubtedly ranks in the T0 ranks of the same level of models.
In terms of tail, the performance of Tang EV is quite eye-catching, and the red and black interspersed light strip, large size spoiler, and rich color contrast make Tang EV not end up with a "bad tail".
There is no doubt that whether it is the fuel version of the Hongqi HS5 or the new energy version of the Tang EV, it is more spiritual in appearance and can well show the mechanical beauty of the car. But for Uncle Che, Tang EV is more in line with the appetite, after all, Uncle Che is a young man, how can he refuse the temptation to close the front face.
Not only do people have to repair both inside and outside, but the same is true for cars. After looking at the appearance of the two models, we will focus on the power performance.
Among them, all models of Hongqi HS5 are equipped with 2.0T turbocharged engines, matching the 6-speed manual transmission, the maximum power is 165 kilowatts, the maximum torque is 340N·m, the maximum speed is 210 km / h, in the same class of models belong to the T1 ranks, with the latest intelligent network 3.0 car machine system and rich active driving configuration, so that hongqi HS5 shines in the handling texture. However, at the moment of "oil price breaking nine", the comprehensive fuel consumption of 7.7 (8.2) L/100 km OF NEDC is really a bit uneconomical.
In contrast, The Don EV will be available in two- and four-wheel drive versions. The two-wheel drive version has a maximum power of 180 kW and a peak torque of 350 Nm. The four-wheel drive version is equipped with a permanent magnet synchronous motor with a maximum power of 180 kW and 200 kW on the front and rear axles, with an acceleration time of 0-100 km/h of 4.4 seconds.
In terms of battery life, Tang EV will provide a rich battery life matrix. Among them, some models will be equipped with a capacity of 108.8 kWh lithium iron phosphate blade battery, and the cruising range of 730 km and 635 km under the comprehensive working conditions of the two-wheel drive version and the four-wheel drive version of CLTC are respectively.
Such power data, such brilliant endurance performance, so that Tang EV not only power output is not inferior to The Hongqi HS5, but also occupies a great advantage in the cost of the car.
Uncle Che summed up
Although the Hongqi HS5 and Tang EV are excellent products of the domestic automotive market. However, from the above comparison alone, the comprehensive cost performance of Tang EV is higher, whether it is the appearance, spatial performance, or power output and endurance, it is more in line with the appetite of young people today. Therefore, when the budget is sufficient, Uncle Che still recommends that you buy BYD Tang EV.
