Independent brands have successively developed their own research and development achievements in the field of hybrid power, especially the traditional car manufacturing forces, and have successively launched many new models equipped with self-developed hybrid systems. Geely, as a veteran enterprise in China, also has a foundation in car manufacturing under the accumulation of years, and now, it has also added a new version equipped with Thor hybrid system in the models of Hoshigoku L and Emgrand L.
Emgrand series in the Geely brand has a very high status, is also one of the pillars of the brand, and Emgrand in the domestic auto market is a well-deserved "national model", so this model in the domestic market value in the forefront, with the domestic automobile consumer group on the new energy model more and more acceptance, Geely also brought a new model - Emgrand L Raytheon Hi · X。
Emgrand L Thor Hi · X uses Thor's super hybrid system, which is also the product of independent research and development by the Geely family. This model continues the characteristics of Geely's family design language, but adopts a new design approach. Emgrand L Thor Hi · The front face of the X has an X-shaped layout, and the grille occupies a large proportion of the front face.
The grille is divided into two layers of structure, the upper grille outline has auspicious family characteristics, the lower grille is quite large, but the two layers of grille structure use the same mesh texture, showing a 3D diamond-shaped pattern, not only has a fierce visual effect, but also has an obvious three-dimensional sense, which is the design style that the younger generation prefers.
Looking at this model from the side, it elongates the downward trend of the roof on the basis of the traditional sedan structure, and the visual effect presented is a slipback shape, although the upturned ducktail clearly shows its sedan structure, but it can also optimize the coordinated proportion of the whole vehicle. The wheels of the model are divided into 16 inches and 17 inches, the low-end model is 16 inches, and the remaining mid-mounted and top-of-the-line are 17-inch wheels.
Emgrand L Thor Hi · X's complete powertrain features a 1.5TD turbocharged engine, matched by a three-speed gearbox. This gearbox is quite different from the common single-speed gearbox on the market, and the three-speed gearbox can further optimize the power output effect, and users can switch its power output according to their own scene usage mode.
In addition, this three-speed DHT gearbox also has a high technical content, it has undergone a high degree of integration, the volume is further compressed, which can reduce the mechanical structure on the body space occupation, but also means that the gearbox structure has been lightweight treatment, can reduce part of the weight, thereby avoiding a large amount of energy loss during the driving process.
Emgrand L Thor Hi · X's 1.5TD engine also integrates a high-tech foundation, it adopts the Thor Elos efficient fuel system, which can fully compress the fuel, and the amount of oil used is small, the compression combustion efficiency is high, which can not only provide strong power to drive the model, but also reduce fuel loss, enlarge the value, thereby improving the fuel economy of the vehicle, which has a greater attraction for the current era of high oil prices.
Inside the car, Emgrand L Thor Hi The sense of atmosphere created by X is more of a lean, and also emphasizes the sense of technology. The symmetrical center console looks very regular, and the whole series is equipped with a 10.25-inch full LCD instrument as standard, the touch display is a 12.3-inch suspension design, and a bar arrangement of physical buttons is retained below to increase the control texture.
summary:
Emgrand L Thor Hi · The X is a plug-in hybrid model, so it has the qualification of being on the green card. This model was officially launched in April this year, and the listing time is not very long, so the relevant market feedback has not been fully reflected. However, the technical content it shows, as well as the performance of the model in terms of power, is enough to prove that its own product strength has a high level of competition in the market. It is clear that Emgrand L Thor Hi · The purpose of X positioning in the Emgrand series is to continue the series, even if it will be dominated by the new energy field in the future, but the dorsett's "national car" reputation is still unwilling to interrupt.
