Fuel consumption test
City fuel consumption
Buying a hybrid car, everyone is most concerned about fuel consumption. The fuel consumption test is divided into two road conditions: urban and high-speed. First of all, in terms of urban fuel consumption, we adjusted the test drive to comfort mode, cleared the subtotal mileage, and filled the test drive fuel.
In addition, the air conditioner was adjusted to 22 degrees, 2 windstops and internal circulation. The city road traveled 106.7km, took 3 hours and 43 minutes, the average speed was 29km/h, and the average fuel consumption was 5.6L/100km. The second refueling was 6.15L, which translates to the actual fuel consumption of 5.8L/100km per 100 km. Slightly higher than the apparent fuel consumption, but this performance is excellent, to know that the Star More L itself is a medium-sized SUV, its own tonnage is not small.
High-speed fuel consumption
Hybrids can play their own advantages of low fuel consumption in congested low-speed conditions, but their fuel economy at high speeds is often inferior to low-speed urban road conditions. The preparation before the test is consistent with the vehicle conditions and the road conditions in the measured city. The highway traveled 232.2km, with an average speed of 70lm/h, and the apparent fuel consumption was 5.4L/100km. The second refueling volume was 12.69L, which was converted into 5.49L/100km per 100 km. The fuel consumption value of the Xingyue L Raytheon Hybrid on the high speed has not improved significantly compared with the urban road conditions, but it is lower, indicating that the Geely Raytheon Hybrid has higher fuel efficiency than the "Shuangtian" in the high-speed fuel consumption performance.
Introduction to Geely Thor Hybrid Power
Shuangtian's hybrid is more using naturally aspirated engines, and the use of turbo engines is seen more in independent brands anyway. The DHE15 engine has a maximum thermal efficiency of 43.32%, surpassing the Japanese high of 41%. It adopts four technologies: high-pressure direct injection, supercharged intercooling, Miller cycle, and low-pressure EGR. Among them, the pressure of the high-pressure direct injection injection system is reduced to 350 bar, and the better the atomization effect of the high-pressure gasoline, the more fully the combustion; the supercharged intercooling can reduce the temperature of the intake air, thereby reducing the heat transfer loss. EGR is what we often call exhaust gas recycling, low pressure EGR can reduce the exhaust temperature and pressure, improve the cycle efficiency, reduce nitrogen oxide emissions, simple understanding is more environmentally friendly.

Among them, the Star-Cross L Raytheon hybrid energy can achieve pure electricity, series and parallel modes. Pure electric mode drives the vehicle individually by the P2 motor, which can be achieved when starting or accelerating with a small throttle. The series mode is to charge the power battery through the P1 motor, which is responsible for driving the vehicle and adjusting the engine load. Combining these two models, the system efficiency can be improved by 30% compared to other traditional models.
In parallel mode, the engine drives the vehicle directly, the motor assists the force, and during braking, the motor can also achieve 100% energy recovery. And sometimes the hybrid is not only electricity is fuel-efficient, but also in the efficient range to let the engine directly participate in the efficiency is the highest, to put it bluntly is that the gasoline engine and the power motor mix, the use of their respective physical advantages for each other to fill the gap, it is worth noting that Geely's hybrid system also supports full-speed parallel, the speed of 20km / h or more the system can enter the parallel mode, one to use the efficient working range of the engine to reduce energy loss, the second to use the three-speed transmission, can release 60% of the reserve power. This explains why the Star-Vietnam L Raytheon Hybrid has a lower fuel consumption performance at high speed than other brands.
Driving feels close to the Honda Hybrid, but better than the latter
However, if there are more gears, will it affect the driving quality of the whole vehicle, especially the problem of setbacks. During the actual driving process, at about 30km-40km, you can feel a slight shift, but this is not something that everyone can feel. In other states, the power performance is very smooth, even if it is a sharp acceleration of the engine, there is no obvious "into the play" behavior.
The Hoshigoku L Raytheon Hybrid has five driving modes: economy, comfort, sport, intelligence and snow. Different modes can adjust the response of the engine, the economic mode power output is gentle, but there is no too Buddhist performance, the sport mode is the most radical mode of power output, and the intelligent mode can be seen as the "automatic transmission" of these driving modes, which can adjust the power response degree in time according to the opening and closing of the accelerator pedal of the driver at the moment.
0-100km/h acceleration test
Turn the test vehicle into motion while activating the ESC OFF button. Since the Star-Etsu L Thor Hybrid DHT Pro can use the large speed ratio of 1st gear to achieve an ejection start, due to the large torque output, there will be a tire process of about 2 seconds in this process, and the final measured 100 km/h acceleration performance is 8.21 seconds.
Since it is a hybrid vehicle, there must be a battery, but how to deal with the position of the battery can avoid affecting the space, nor will it affect the entire chassis structure? Engineers cleverly placed the battery in the middle passage of the front seats, which made the most of the interior space. However, the core components of these power units are stacked in the front position of the car, which may affect the front and rear counterweights.
As for the daily filter shock, due to the fact that there are more battery packs, the relative weight is greater. Therefore, the Star-Cross L Thor Hybrid will be more resilient and more solid than the ordinary version of the Star-More L when dealing with vibrations. The whole car can get a nice comfort no matter where you sit in the car.
100-0km/h brake test
When braking at full force, although the body has a slight "nod" phenomenon, there is no abnormal left and right swing of the body during the braking process. The braking distance of 39 meters measured in the end is still good, and it should be known that the Hoshigoku L Thor Hybrid uses a silent and comfortable tire, referring to the ordinary version of the Hoshigoku L for a high grip control tire.
Noise test
In terms of hardware conditions, the Hoshigoku L Raytheon Hybrid is equipped with front windshield and front acoustic glass, as well as active noise-cancelling windows. In the case of the vehicle being stationary and the engine turned off, the whole car is like an EV model, even after the speed rises, including the subjective feeling of 120km/h, it is quiet, and the experience is better than the Toyota Dual Engine and the Honda Sharp Hybrid.
As mentioned earlier, the engineer optimized the battery layout of the Hoshigoku L Thor Hybrid, so that the battery pack will not have a significant impact on the space inside the car, and the Hoshigoku L itself is a medium-sized SUV, so the actual riding space performance is not to worry.
Full text summary: Geely is the brand with the most passenger car products in its own brand, so the experience and strength of car manufacturing naturally do not need to be doubted. The Thor hybrid system launched this time takes some advantages of the Japanese hybrid, the most important and greatly improved some of the shortcomings of the Japanese hybrid, low energy consumption, high engine output efficiency, in this Star Yue L Raytheon hybrid can be reflected, the most important thing is that its price and configuration are much better than their Japanese hybrid players.
