In recent years, affected by national policies and the global environment, domestic new energy models have sprung up in an endless stream, and many traditional manufacturing companies have also seen the development potential of this market, of which Gree, Midea, Skyworth and other home appliance brands are the loudest shouts, but until now still have not seen midea, Gree to build a decent car, only Skyworth as early as September 2020 launched its first model - Tianmei Auto ET5. However, as the old saying goes, "interlaced like a mountain", even if Skyworth has many years of reputation in the color TV industry, it is still a small white in the automotive field.
Therefore, in the following two years, Skyworth has not given up from Tianmei Automobile ET5 to the later Skyworth EV6 until the upcoming release of Skyworth HT-i. According to the official statement, the new car is expected to open pre-sale this month and be released on August 28 of the same year. In addition, the new Skyworth HT-i will also be equipped with BYD's DM-i hybrid system, which has also aroused the attention of many media and consumers, after all, BYD's DM-i hybrid technology in China is still good, so Skyworth HT-i equipped with the same technology must be another new choice for many consumers considering BYD hybrid.
From the official release of the picture can see the skyworth HT-i design and two years ago Tianmei automobile ET5 and the later Skyworth EV6 is very similar, it can also be said to retain the family design language, inverted "L" shaped LED daily running lights with semi-enclosed grille, giving people the most intuitive feeling is a strong sense of technology, coupled with the five-spoke wheels on the side of the car, so that its overall model positioning in line with the level of medium-sized SUVs, the taillights with brand LOGO in the rear part of the taillights and ET5, EV6 similar, It is also a popular style nowadays. Overall, the appearance is not ugly, but the design sense is because of the Tianmei Automobile ET5, Skyworth EV6 and other models, people always feel that there is little change, and the positioning between several models is also very vague.
Although the official did not announce the information in the car, but together with the hybrid version of HT-i announced the pure electric version of the new Skyworth EV6, the new car has not yet announced the power parameters, but announced that the comprehensive mileage can reach 620km, the biggest difference between the new car and HT-i is the front face intake grille, the pure electric version uses a closed air intake grille, and HT-i because of its engine to choose a semi-closed style. Therefore, it can be known that Skyworth HT-i is actually a hybrid version of Skyworth EV6, not a brand new model, so its price can also refer to the current EV6 14.68-25.28 million yuan price range.
Speaking of the power part of Skyworth HT-i that everyone is most concerned about, the new car will be equipped with BYD's DM-i plug-in hybrid system dedicated To Xiaoyun-plug hybrid 1.5L, its maximum power is 81kW (110Ps), the maximum torque is 135N·m, and equipped with EHS electromix system, and its pure electric mileage can reach 200km, and finally the endurance can reach 1267km in the hybrid state, and the fuel consumption is 5.3L/100km. That is to say, this power level is basically consistent with the 1.5L on BYD Song Pro New Energy.
Although, in the past few years, Skyworth Automobile has built SUV with its own enthusiasm, but in terms of brand marketing and product strength, Skyworth has always had a gap with the mainstream new energy car-making forces and technology-based car companies such as BYD, and now Skyworth seems to be leaning on BYD's thigh to open the "flight mode", but in fact, in the automotive industry brand influence, word of mouth and core technology Skyworth Automobile still has a long way to go, Therefore, It may not be realistic for Skyworth Auto to complete the road of counterattack only by relying on DM-i technology.
