Haval Beast DHT, performance fuel consumption double benefits

In order to prepare for the era of hybrid inner roll, Haval is accelerating the layout of the lemon DHT architecture, following the red rabbit, H6S two models to take the lead in testing the water, the beast DHT version of the model also arrived as scheduled. So with the blessing of hybrid technology, what benefits did the Divine Beast reap?

In addition to the "DHT" logo, there are almost no other exclusive elements, but the design concept of "Time-space Sharp Aesthetics" has been recognized by the market, including the new infinity box net, through-line ADB matrix headlights, and the three-dimensional and sharp shape of the tail, which greatly caters to the aesthetic preferences of young people.

The interior is also highly consistent with the ordinary version of the model, using the ultimate minimalist style to enhance the sense of design, you can see that most of the functions of the central control area are integrated in the 14.6-inch multimedia screen, while the driving area retains the physical buttons for the more frequently used functions, cleverly balancing the contradiction between ergonomics and design trends.

It is worth mentioning that the current popular flat UI style is also used in the 12.3 + 14.6-inch dual screen, at the same time in the use level, the overall operation of the system is smooth, the operation logic is clear, the collection of commonly used car networking functions and Tesla-like road real-time 3D model, in addition to the system also supports the vehicle global FOTA upgrade.

Of course, the change in powertrain is the biggest highlight of the DHT model, the new car is equipped with a 1.5T + DHT130 hybrid system, the maximum power of the engine is 113kW, the maximum torque is 233Nm, the motor part provides a maximum power of 130kW and a peak torque of 300Nm, in the joint work of the two, can bring 179kW/530Nm power reserve, the official acceleration time of 100 kilometers is 7.7s. Compared with the 165kW and 345Nm book data of the 2.0T version, the power level has been surpassed. In addition, thanks to the Miller cycle, the thermal efficiency of the engine reaches 38%, and the fuel consumption will naturally decrease.

Compared with DM-i, the technical route of this hybrid system is obviously different, which tends to let the engine get more participation, that is to say, in addition to the EV mode of low-speed working conditions, and the engine completes the power generation task in series mode, the two-speed transmission also provides a wider working platform for the direct drive of the engine, which means that when the vehicle is driving at high speed, the engine cooperates with the high gear direct drive, so the fuel economy performance will be further improved.

In the initial stage, the EV mode will bring the same acceleration pleasure as the pure electric model, the power output is linear and direct, at this time, if the pressure continues to be applied to the accelerator pedal, the engine and the electric motor will instantly enter the synergistic hybrid mode, thus exerting the dual driving ability of fuel and pure electricity.

During this period, the intervention of the engine is not very obvious in the somatosensory, and the acceleration force provided covers all the acceleration ranges in the initial and middle sections, but the acceleration ability will be attenuated when the speed exceeds 100 km/h.

The Mythical Beast DHT offers four driving modes of standard, economical, sporty, and snow, as well as three energy recovery levels, and comes with a single pedal mode. In the actual feeling of the single pedal mode calibration is relatively soft, the system usually in the release of the throttle 1 to 2 seconds after the provision of a certain braking force, and the braking effect is not immediate, so in the daily driving it is difficult to achieve a real sense of single pedal driving, in most cases also need the driver to control the brake pedal intervention.

In addition, the steering also offers three force options, which are light, comfortable and sporty. When switching modes, you can intuitively feel the changes. Turning to adjust the style tends to daily driving, the feel is gentle, the feedback is linear, the initial section also ensures a certain directivity, and the overall favorability is at the middle and upper level in the independent brand.

The chassis adopts the suspension form of the full McPherson rear multi-link, adjusting to the comfort, whether it is a fine bump or a large road impact, it can basically be calmly coped with. However, relatively speaking, the support of the back section is slightly awkward, and the confidence in the high-speed cornering is somewhat insufficient, and it is obvious that the movement is not the main appeal of this mythical beast DHT.

In addition to the beast DHT, this activity also includes a new DHT version of the H6S, but due to the limited time, only a short road test drive, the intuitive feeling is that the overall driving texture of the two is very close, but the response speed of the initial stage of the H6S throttle is relatively conservative, and I personally think that its foot feel is slightly inferior to the beast DHT.

Entering the market is the trend of the times, and major independent brands are eager to gain a foothold in this emerging market segment. Compared with the preconceived DM-i, the advantage of the mythical beast DHT lies in Haval's reputation halo in the field of SUVs on the one hand, and on the other hand, DHT emphasizes both power and fuel economy, which is exactly what the Japanese hybrid road does not have. It is worth noting that "Great Wall Lemon" can also be compatible with pure electric and hydrogen energy power solutions, and the future will also show more possibilities based on technology iteration.
