Since I can remember, Japanese cars seem to be synonymous with hybrids. For more than 20 years, Japanese brands led by Toyota can be described as "only one hand to cover the sky" and have absolute dominance in the hybrid market. In the early years, European and American brands tried to break through this barrier, but they quickly lost and ended hastily, so they had to study pure electric technology hard. Looking back, the lack of product strength is the root cause of the defeat of the latecomers.
Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river. Nowadays, the situation of Japanese dominance has gradually begun to usher in the endgame, and the breaker is the Chinese brand. In the front, there are frequent rookies in the plug-in hybrid (PHEV) market, and then there is a ticket of oil-electric hybrid (HEV) queued up for listing.
2021 is the "first year of hybridization" for Chinese brands. Over the past year, many Chinese brands have launched their own proprietary hybrid systems. They generally achieve a pleasing performance in fuel consumption, but they rarely have a core advantage that is eye-catching. And on April 26 "Hi, Thor New Horizon, Star-Cross L Thor Hi · X Pure Realm Listing" Nanjing Station activity, I finally test-drove a model with a lot of ideas in the autonomous hybrid model.
It is the Auspicious Star Yue L Thor Hi · X oil-electric hybrid version (priced at 171,700-183,700). Hoshikoshi L Thor Hi · X oil-electric hybrid version has been officially launched on March 30, in order to better deliver the world-class hybrid Thor Hi · X's core value, Geely continues the millions of people to try Thor series of activities, with the popular camping, barbecue, painting, tea art and other lifestyles, and through urban roads, complex mountain roads, suburban roads, country roads, highways and other complex road conditions, in one day to let users feel the Thor Hi · X-power characteristics and high passability, this spring with low-carbon environmental protection of the new lifestyle of Thor Hi · X embarks on a pleasant "light trip" together.
Technological innovations
When you see the four words of oil-electric hybrid, you should understand that its type is the same as that of Japanese hybrid. This is the first recognition that needs to be established about this car in the first place.
A type of Japanese hybrid can better reflect its advantages over Japanese hybridization. If you have driven toyota's double engine or Honda's sharp hybrid, you will find that although they are fuel-efficient, but the power is really not good, maybe the initial section is OK, after all, there is the blessing of the motor, but the middle and rear section is quite weak, the high-speed re-acceleration ability is very weak, and the high-speed overtaking is not smooth. This is because both fields of hybrid use E-CVT gearbox, high-speed re-acceleration can not provide large torque output, while acceleration will rise sharply, bringing huge engine noise, so the experience is really very general.
Geely's Ray God Intelligence Hi · X uses a power-split design, which draws a clear line with the former P2 or P2.5. Ray's Mind Hi · The X is available in 1st gear DHT and 3rd DHT Pro, and the Hoshigoku L Hybrid Edition is equipped with the latter. The DHT Pro is equipped with two sets of dual planetary gear sets and a 3-gear ratio adjustment thanks to the control element (clutch). To understand it simply, the DHT Pro is roughly equivalent to adding a 3AT gearbox to the first-generation Toyota THS, so as to adapt to more diverse and complex car scenes.
Raytheon Power's 1.5T and 2.0T engines are turbocharged, which is different from many Japanese manufacturers and even domestic manufacturers, usually the hybrid system with Atkinson naturally aspirated engine more.
In addition to power technology, to be honest, Geely's design level in recent years is also getting higher and higher, the key point is to form a family language with its own characteristics, original this is worth affirming. Starting from Geely Borui 7 years ago, the ripple grille of water waves allows us to see the emergence of Geely's design level, and now the continuous advancement of geely 4.0 era appearance design, its design concept has always been accurate to the aesthetics of the Chinese people - "atmosphere, elegance".
As a hybrid version, Thor Hi The appearance of the X oil-electric hybrid version is basically a continuation of the design of the Hoshigoku L, but in order to highlight its different power identity from the fuel version of the model, it is equipped with a new style of front grille. Its grille interior is irregular dot matrix design, and on both sides of the grille adds a light source, echoing the new style of LED daytime running lights, while the front LOGO of the new car can also be lit. The interior is also a continuation of the design of the current Hoshikoshi L, the three large screens are the highlights of the entire new car, while the two-color interior, as well as a large area of leather fabrics, make the luxurious texture of the whole car more outstanding.
It is worth mentioning that this event also made me feel the changes in the car machine system, which not only carries the Galaxy OS Thor Hybrid Special Edition, but also debuts the Geely Galaxy OS 1.3 version. The automatic scanning of the whole vehicle has been added, which is the automatic scanning of the whole vehicle at the start, which detects the status of tire pressure, engine, coolant, brake fluid, and transmission and displays it.
The clean and elegant white background background is still the same, and the UI logic also uses the most popular "zero-level interaction", for example, its desktop is no longer a bunch of arranged icons, but a map is the desktop, which can achieve faster and more efficient interaction. In addition, its split screen function also takes into account the actual experience scene, such as the call split screen function, in the navigation of the incoming call automatic split screen, the map will not be blocked. In addition, the screen in front of the co-pilot has added a co-pilot cinema mode, after opening the co-pilot cinema mode, the vehicle will close the sunblind, close the window, and create an immersive viewing experience.
Moving is quiet, quiet is like peace
I believe that I said so much data, the riders may still be in the clouds, so let me talk about the feeling of its specific opening. Due to the limited space caused by the epidemic, the Jinniu Lake Olympic Sailing Camp test drive activity can only be test-driven in the park, but whether it is urban roads, complex mountain roads, suburban roads, country roads, or return highways, we have also experienced it very deeply. Hoshikoshi L Thor Hi · X oil-electric hybrid version of this car's throttle, brakes, steering are very light, so its first feeling is that it is absolutely very good to open, very easy to get started, if it is not nearly 1.9 meters wide, I would even recommend this car is very suitable for young ladies to drive in the city.
After stepping on the throttle, the motor torque intervention speed is very, very fast, and for a moment I thought I was driving a pure tram, which is another place that is very different from the Japanese hybrid - the Japanese hybrid will more simulate the acceleration of the pure gasoline engine.
When the speed comes up, you will feel that the engine is working, but Geely seems to have made a great optimization of it, so that even if it is accelerated sharply, the vibration of the engine will not be obvious, and the quietness in the car is still very good, at most, the sound of the high speed of the engine will come in. But don't worry, Geely thought of this for you, so the excellent NVH level played a role, the engine noise is very small, and there is basically no jitter. Although the Star-Over L hybrid positioning compact SUV, in fact, its sound insulation level has been in line with the mid-size SUV.
The calibration of the chassis texture is consistent with the fuel version of the model, taking into account the comfort and tenacity, which can soften the vibration of the road surface, and can also be calmly coped with in the face of continuous speed bumps, which can also suppress the excess bouncing sensation of the vehicle while softening the shock feeling.
The performance of the power performance is not very unexpected, since the Japanese system emphasizes fuel consumption, then the Geely Thor hybrid will obviously be better in power, and the actual driving is indeed the same, the 100 km acceleration is about 7.9s, which is almost a second faster than the same level of Japanese hybridization. In addition, the maximum mileage of full fuel is about 1279 kilometers, and the average fuel consumption of 100 kilometers is only 4.3L, which is much better than the Japanese HEV competitors, which shows the strength of this hybrid system.
Write at the end
Judging from the label given to it by Geely, The Star-Cross L Thor Hi · X oil-electric hybrid version is indeed full of surprises "the world's first 3-speed hybrid electric drive transmission DHT Pro", "the world's first mass-produced turbocharged cylinder direct injection hybrid engine", "thermal efficiency of more than 43%", etc., each of which has reached a technical level is impacting our impression of domestic hybrid technology.
Judging from the performance of this test drive, I think that Hoshikoshi L Thor Hi · X Oil-Electric Hybrid Edition for RayTheon Hi· X is a good start, it is a vehicle that allows you to drive easily and comfortably, from the throttle, brakes, chassis, steering wheel, etc. have adopted a calibration style from the beginning to the end, it can give you a comfortable experience, but also make you restless. The measured fuel consumption of 4.3L per 100 kilometers was unimaginable a few years ago, and the last dividend of the Japanese system seems to be disappearing. I believe that its arrival will make Japanese competitors feel a lot of pressure.
