The recent heat of the Gilly Thor Hybrid is really high, especially in recent days, Gilly Emgrand L Thor Hi · X officially launched, but also attracted the attention of many consumers, the new car launched a total of three models, subsidies after the price of 1298-14.58 million.
About Emgrand L Thor Hi · X, let's first briefly understand a few basic information:
1, the new car is based on the fuel version of emgrand L to build, the biggest difference between the two is the powertrain;
2. This is the second model under Geely to adopt "Thor Hybrid Technology", the first is Hoshigoku L Thor Hi · X；
3, it uses plug-in hybrid, rather than star-crossing L Thor Hi · X's oil-electric hybrid, so you can be on the green card and free of purchase tax.
The same is the domestic compact family car, the same plug-in hybrid form, coupled with the overlapping price range, I believe many people will take the Emgrand L Thor Hi · X and BYD Qin PLUS DM-i make comparisons. And to understand this problem, we must first know the difference between the two hybrid technologies, from the table below you can know four points:
First, Emgrand L Thor Hi · The engine of the X is turbocharged, while the Qin PLUS DM-i is naturally aspirated, the former engine performance is stronger, but the latter has a better motor performance. The thermal efficiency of their engines is more than 43%, which is higher than that of Japanese hybrid engines.
Second, Emgrand L Thor Hi · The X uses a 3-speed hybrid electric drive DHT Pro, while the Qin PLUSDM-i does not have a traditional multi-gear transmission, only a one-speed electronic stepless transmission (E-CVT). Combined with the advantages of multiple gears, coupled with the supercharged engine, in theory, Emgrand L Thor Hi · X can get a stronger power response when overtaking at high speeds.
Third, the fuel consumption of the 100 km loss of electricity and fuel in both is excellent, both are 3.8L, and the endurance can exceed 1000 km when fully charged and full of fuel. However, from the perspective of zero hundred acceleration performance, Emgrand L Thor Hi · X is stronger than Qin PLUS DM-i.
Fourth, Emgrand L Thor Hi · X's pure electric endurance is not differentiated, the whole series is 100km, and Qin PLUS DM-i is divided into 50km and 120km according to the high and low matching, of which the long endurance version is also equipped with a fast charging port (need to rely on the adapter).
After understanding the difference between the two, let's talk about their similarities, Emgrand L Thor Hi · X This hybrid system is actually similar to the drive mode of BYD Qin PLUS DM-i, and also has four driving forms: pure electricity, parallel connection, series connection and direct drive:
1, pure electric mode, mainly used for starting and low speed, at this time the motor works, the driving experience is similar to pure electric vehicles;
2, series mode, this time the engine works, but it does not directly drive the vehicle, but drive the generator to generate electricity, and the ideal ONE range extension route is similar;
3, parallel mode, this time the engine and drive motor together to participate in the vehicle drive, in this mode, the vehicle's power is the strongest;
4, direct drive mode, as the name suggests, the engine directly drives the vehicle, this time tends to traditional fuel vehicles;
Of course, although I have expanded their driving mode here, for ordinary consumers, in fact, there is no need to pay too much attention to what the specific mode of the current vehicle is, because the system will automatically help you intelligently match.
In terms of interiors, Emgrand L Thor Hi · X adopts forest green double-panel interior, with Raytheon's exclusive electronic gear, plus 10.25-inch + 12.3-inch high-definition LCD double large-screen design, the overall interior technology atmosphere is still very good. In addition, officials also said that 90% of the interior of the new car is wrapped in soft materials.
Interestingly, Emgrand L Thor Hi X's Super Xun version (guide price: 135,800), and Qin PLUS DM-i's 120KM premium (guide price: 135,800) price is the same, I compared their configuration table, in addition to the difference in power level, the overall configuration difference is actually very small.
To be honest, Emgrand L Thor Hi · The X may be more dominant, because it is equipped with an inductive trunk and the electric adjustment of the main seat, which qin PLUS DM-i does not have.
Write at the end
Overall, although Geely's Thor hybrid is more complex than BYD's, it is derived from Emgrand L Thor Hi· The price of X, in fact, the cost of this piece is controlled, in general, with the Qin PLUS DM-i level, aside from other aspects, this itself is a very commendable thing.
And from the data point of view, Emgrand L Thor Hi · X also has the strength not to lose qin PLUS DM-i, including stronger performance, flat power loss fuel consumption performance and so on. The problem now is that bydie DM-i this set of hybrid technology has been verified by the market, and Geely's Thor hybrid, at present, still need to accept the further test of the market, and once the reliability is no problem, then in the later stage it will undoubtedly be the strongest opponent of BYD DM-i.
