Compared with pure fuel vehicles, hybrid vehicles have better fuel economy, and the advantages are particularly obvious in the period of high oil prices. Compared with pure electric models, there is no mileage anxiety, and there is no need to worry about the charging problem, which is a relatively reasonable choice at present, and now the threshold of hybrid vehicles is getting lower and lower, such as several cars to be introduced today, the starting price is only about 150,000 yuan, will you consider buying it?
The first, BYD Song Pro DM-i
Guidance price: 13.88-16.38 million yuan
Since the launch of the DM-i version of BYD Song PLUS, there has been a phenomenon that a car is difficult to find, at the same time, many consumers uphold a wait-and-see attitude, after all, the price of the 110km flagship PLUS version of the main model has reached 175,800 yuan, which has turned away many users with a budget of 150,000. The good news is that the emergence of the Song Pro DM-i has filled this price gap.
Song Pro DM-i adopts BYD's latest family design language, three-stage LED daytime running lights and silver decorative version with model name, and the grille adopts horizontal chrome style, which has a certain improvement in appearance compared with before, and it is also easier to distinguish from the Song PLUS series. The rear part of the car uses through-type taillights, the internal details are obviously different from other models of the same brand, the recognition is still relatively high, and the difference with Song PLUS is that the tail does not deliberately create a wide body effect, so it is still slightly inferior in visual effect, and it is more in line with the positioning difference between the two.
In terms of interior, it also has obvious BYD style, and details such as electronic gear rod and air outlet shape reflect the characteristics of Chinese style. There are three sizes of the central control screen, 10.1 inches, 12.8 inches and 15.6 inches, of which 15.6 inches are exclusive to the top models. Song Pro DM-i has a wheelbase of 2715mm, which is a medium-to-high level in the same class of models, the front and rear space are more sufficient, 4650mm of car length, trunk space can also meet the needs of daily travel, in line with home positioning.
The most critical power part, Song Pro DM-i uses the same powertrain as Song PLUS DM-i and other models. Composed of 1.5L Snap Cloud engine and motor, according to the different mileage, divided into 51km and 110km two versions, the official 100 km feeder fuel consumption is only 4.4L, the owner measured only about 5L, this fuel consumption performance is nearly double compared to the same level of pure fuel models, fuel consumption economic advantages are more obvious, combined with the starting price of 138,800 yuan, the cost performance is still quite high.
The second model, Star Trail Chasing ET-i
Guidance price: 14.98-159,800 yuan
Among its own brands, Chery Automobile has always attached great importance to engine technology research and development, and now catching up with the new energy wave, it is natural not to miss the outlet of the hybrid field, and the first to carry the star core hybrid technology is this StarWay Wind Chasing ET-i. The exterior design of this car is no different from the fuel version of the star chasing wind, the front face of the founder matches the simple three banner chrome decoration, and the brand LOGO that can glow in the middle of the headlights is a major highlight.
The interior part is still the familiar dual screen design, the air outlet adopts a penetrating design, which looks more atmospheric, and the air conditioner adopts the control method of touch plus knob, and the sense of technology is good. Space is one of the shortcomings of the Star Trail ET-i, with a wheelbase of only 2670mm and a length of only 4533mm, and the rear seat space and trunk space are in the middle of mainstream models.
In the power part, the Starway ET-i is equipped with a 1.5T engine with a maximum power of 115kW, in addition to a dual motor combination with a total power of 125kW, which makes its zero hundred acceleration time only 6.8 seconds, and the power is relatively powerful. Matching it is the 3-speed DHT special gearbox, which is of great help to improve the fuel consumption performance, and the official 100-kilometer comprehensive feeder fuel consumption is only 4.8 liters.
The third model, roewe RX5 ePLUS
Guidance price: 15.28-16.28 million yuan
After the launch of the ROEX5 model, sales have increased significantly, which has also prompted it to have more confidence to impact the hybrid market. RX5 ePLUS is based on a pure fuel version, the appearance of the design has not changed significantly, the front face uses a large area of scaly grille, the sporty atmosphere is relatively strong. A "e" is added to the rear logo to indicate its plug-in hybrid identity, of course, it is easy to distinguish it from ordinary fuel models after installing a new energy green license plate.
The interior layout of the car is basically the same as the pure fuel version of the model, but the power system parameters such as the power display are added on the 12.3-inch full LCD instrument, and the 14.1-inch vertical central control screen is a major feature of Roewe, the display effect is excellent, and it is more convenient to use. In the space part, the Roewe RX5 ePLUS has a wheelbase of 2708mm, and the riding space is relatively excellent, but the length is only 4571mm, so the trunk space has no advantage over mainstream models of the same class.
In terms of power, the Roewe RX5 ePLUS also uses a 1.5T engine, the maximum power reaches 124kW, in addition to a 100kW electric motor as an auxiliary, equipped with an 11.1kWh lithium iron phosphate battery pack, pure electric mileage of 52km, compared to the previous BYD Song Pro DM-i and Starway Wind Chasing ET-i, more inclined to the engine. Matching this powertrain is the less common AMT transmission.
The above are the three plug-in hybrid models that have the qualification of the green card, and the price is much more affordable than the joint venture hybrid models up to 200,000. If you have a budget of 150,000, which of them will you consider? (Text/UVIS Auto Ride)
