In the past Three months, the mainland plug-in hybrid vehicles sold a total of 85,000 vehicles, enough to see that the plug-in hybrid models are growing rapidly, each car company has also released its own hybrid system, Geely, as the first echelon of its own brand, also released its own Raytheon hybrid system, the Star-Vietnam L hybrid version listed at the end of March is the HEV architecture of the Thor system, and the Emgrand L Raytheon hybrid version of the PHEV architecture will also open pre-sale on April 26.
Then as the second model of the Thor hybrid system, the first PHEV model, the Emgrand L Thor Hi · What strength does X have to dare to enter the current areas of BYD's advantages?
First of all, a brief look at the styling design of the new car:
In terms of appearance, the new car basically continues the design of Emgrand L, mainly adding a design that highlights the attributes of new energy, such as in order to distinguish it from the fuel version of the model, the new car adopts a logo with different materials and colors from the fuel version of the model, which can highlight the identity of new energy, the charging port is set at the left front fender, etc., and the rear of the car also adds the exclusive LOGO of Thor hybrid, and the overall shape is fashionable and attractive.
In terms of size, Emgrand L Thor Hi · X's length, width and height are 4735*1815*1478mm, wheelbase is 2700mm, positioning compact sedan, and Emgrand L is consistent.
In terms of interior, the color of the vehicle is more personalized, and the steering wheel and seats are combined with two colors. The use of black Thor exclusive electronic gear, with a 10.25-inch LCD instrument panel + 12.3-inch central control screen combination design is very highly technological. The design is relatively young and stylish.
In terms of power, it is equipped with a 1.5TD+3DHT Thunder God Engine system, with an official fuel consumption of 3.8L, 6.9s acceleration per 100 kilometers, pure electric endurance of more than 100km, and a comprehensive endurance of 1300km. The performance in terms of data is remarkable, and we look forward to the actual performance after the listing.
As the new car equipped with Thor Hi · X Super Mix is the biggest attraction:
The PHEV architecture is basically the same as the HEV architecture previously released based on the Hoshigoku L, which mainly includes the Miller cycle engine, the three-speed electric drive DHT Pro, dual motors and high-efficiency power control unit. It can intelligently switch and combine the engine power output, motor power output, motor reverse power generation and other modes according to the current working conditions under various working conditions to achieve the purpose of fuel saving and high efficiency. As a PHEV architecture, there are additional charging units, larger capacity power battery packs, and external charging ports.
In terms of engines, the new car also adopts the 1.5TD hybrid special engine of the Hoshigoku L hybrid version, which integrates high-pressure direct injection, supercharged intercooling, Miller cycle, low-pressure EGR and other technologies, with a thermal efficiency of 43.32%.
The 3-speed hybrid transmission DHT Pro based on two planetary gear sets can achieve full-speed parallel connection, and the system can enter parallel mode at a speed of more than 20km per hour, and the overall fuel saving, smoothness and power performance are also good.
From all aspects, it can be seen that Emgrand L Thor Hi · X is basically for the Qin PLUS DM-i, because the Emgrand L hybrid version has not yet been listed, we will make a comparison in terms of the system:
The electric drive module used by Qin PLUS DM-i, two motors for a dual-axis layout, one and the engine coaxial, the other side by side, with two models of motor power of 132kW, 145kW respectively. The advantage of this layout is that it can reduce the lateral width of the entire hybrid system, and at the same time, the drive motor is not easily disturbed by the engine during the heteroaxial layout, and the efficiency is higher in pure electric mode.
Geely in Emgrand L Hi · The X uses the DHT Pro electric drive module, the engine and both motors are on the same axis. This set of electric drive modules can output 100kW/320Nm of power, which is lower than qin PLUS DM-i, so the power performance in pure electric mode will be slightly worse.
On the Qin PLUS DM-i, the engine output shaft is not directly connected to the motor, but is coupled/decoupled by a set of clutches, and the clutch at a speed of more than 60km/h is closed to enter parallel mode. The range of engine intervention is limited, so the DM-i series generally uses a larger drive motor to improve power output.
Geely Raytheon through the two planetary gear sets of the 3-speed change, in the vehicle at low speed, can also be through the planetary gear group for different transmission ratio deceleration treatment, you can enter the parallel mode; in addition, pure electric mode, TM motor can also be adjusted through the planetary gear set, can play a role in amplifying torque, reduce the role of low-speed noise. This is also Thor's strength.
Overall, the strength of the two as the main competitors is indeed relatively close, and it depends more on the choice of consumers.
summary:
Emgrand L Thor Hi · The interior of the X is not much different from the fuel version, and the main highlight is that Thor Hi · X super electric hybrid system, through the thermal efficiency of the engine and 3-speed DHT transmission, taking into account the fuel economy and power performance, in all aspects of the comprehensive is not lost to the main competitors of the Qin PLUS DM-i, it is worth looking forward to the specific performance of the new car after the listing.
