When it comes to the "national car" in the domestic brand, it is estimated that the first thing that comes to mind is the car products within 100,000 yuan such as Geely Emgrand and Changan Yidong, but I did not expect bydding BYD's Qin PLUS DM-i to quickly become popular with its fuel consumption level comparable to the Japanese hybrid and the relatively balanced price and configuration. When sales are rising, the plug and mix market has also ushered in its "spring". However, most of the plug-and-mix models first launched by Chinese brands are SUV products, such as WEY, Changan and other brands. Fortunately, Geely finally listed Emgrand L Thor Hi · X, which is priced at 129,800-14.58 million yuan after subsidy, has a large overlap range with the price of BYD Qin PLUS DM-i. As we all know, the delivery of Qin PLUS DM-i is a big and difficult problem, that is aimed at Qin PLUS DM-i, Emgrand L Thor Hi · Can X use this as a breakthrough and Qin PLUS DM-i break the wrist?
The fuel consumption of the feed is the same, and the strong power can win?
Back in the Emgrand L Thor Hi · Before the X was listed, it attracted a lot of attention with the 100-kilometer feeder fuel consumption level of Qin PLUS DM-i. Judging from the specific parameters, Emgrand L Thor Hi · X and Qin PLUS DM-i officially give the fuel consumption of 3.8L/100km. In terms of fuel consumption performance, both are still relatively advantageous under the current status quo of oil prices.
And in terms of power level, Emgrand L Thor Hi · The X seems to be superior, with a 1.5T engine and motor drive, a system with a combined power of 233 kW and a maximum torque of 610N·m, which can achieve an acceleration performance of "6.9 seconds to break the hundred". Compared with the two high-end models with a battery life of 120km, the maximum 100-kilometer acceleration performance of 7.3 seconds, the more powerful Emgrand L Thor Hi · X is sure to be more pleasing to younger consumers. Meanwhile, Emgrand L Thor Hi The X uses a 3-speed hybrid electric drive DHT transmission, while the Qin PLUS DM-i currently matches the E-CVT with only one gear. Combining the advantages of multiple gears, coupled with a more powerful turbocharged engine, in theory, the Emgrand L Thor Hi · The X has an advantage in high-speed sections.
Does Emgrand L Plug Mix Look Better?
In fact, Emgrand L Thor Hi · X and Qin PLUS DM-i can be said to be evenly matched in appearance, but because they follow the shape of the fuel version of Emgrand L, so The Emgrand L Thor Hi · The X's style in appearance is also more inclined to a fuel car. However, because the visual impact brought by the large size grille of the front face is good, with the popular sneakback body shape, its sense of sport is still not inferior to qin PLUS DM-i. Although Qin PLUS DM-i also adopts the design idea of large-area middle net and sneakback body, the taillights are more slender and the front face looks more concise, so the visual sense of new energy will be stronger. In terms of overall styling, both are quite in line with the tastes of young consumers.

However, the interior part is still Emgrand L Thor Hi · X is more dominant, like the Small SIZE LCD Instrument of Qin PLUS DM-i in Emgrand L Thor Hi · The X 10.25-inch full LCD meter is more "stingy" in comparison. Fortunately, there is also a BYD's iconic rotatable central control screen, which makes it not "lose color" too much. Comparing the spatial performance of the two, Emgrand L Ray Hi · X has a length, width and height of 4735/1815/1495mm and a wheelbase of 2700mm. The qin PLUS DM-i has a length, width and height of 4765/1837/1495mm and a wheelbase of 2718mm. As you can see, the Qin PLUS DM-i has a larger body size. But of course, the size of the space can not be determined by the size data, according to the actual experience, their space can meet the vast majority of normal body type users, because of the use of slipback design, the two cars may have some cramped head space.
Is the Qin PLUS DM-i more practical with fast charging?
As a must consider when buying a car, the level of configuration has a considerable impact on consumers. We chose Emgrand L Thor Hi · The Super Xun model with a price of 135,800 yuan after X subsidy is compared with the 120KM premium model with the Qin PLUS DM-i, which is also priced at 135,800 yuan.
Through the table, it is not difficult to find that the two are almost comparable in configuration, Qin PLUS DM-i has a higher pure electric mileage, richer driving modes, more types of keys, and temperature partition control. And Emgrand L Thor Hi · X adds an induction trunk, electric adjustment of the main passenger seat, and a negative ion generator, and more speakers. In addition, Qin PLUS DM-i 120KM Premium also has an advantage of fast charging, consumers who can choose 120km pure electric endurance models, in fact, many still have the demand for short-distance pure electric transportation. Generally, there are charging piles at home that can indeed be slowly charged by themselves, but there are also some consumers who need to go out to charge. Emgrand L Thor Hi · Although all models of X have a pure electric mileage of 100km, the efficiency of going out to charge is still a little low for those users who do not have charging piles at home.
This situation was found in the Emgrand L Thor Hi · The same is true of X's other models, which are priced at 129,800 yuan after subsidies for its entry-level model. Although the battery life is higher than the 55KM flagship of Qin PLUS DM-i, compared with the cheaper Qin PLUS DM-i 55KM flagship, the number of airbags is less, and there is only one type of key, which is less wireless charging of mobile phones, electric adjustment of the main passenger seat and other functions. All in all, its configuration and price balance did not bring major surprises.
summary
Overall, Emgrand L Thor Hi · X's performance is actually very good. Although the price and configuration are not as balanced as Qin PLUS DM-i, the power is stronger and the interior is better under the same fuel consumption level, and perhaps it can have a good market performance in the future. However, Qin PLUS DM-i is the "forerunner" of this market segment after all, just like Wuling Hongguang MINIEV has an absolute "right to speak" in the field of WeChat electric vehicles, and its number of users is even larger, so sales may not have much impact. And those consumers who feel that the Qin PLUS DM-i car pick-up cycle is too long, may also turn to Emgrand L Thor Hi · The arms of X. However, to choose between the two, it is best to test drive yourself, because there are still some differences in the driving texture.
