Driving Pie's classic column to test fuel consumption, "100 Mile Challenge", this issue tests a green player - Lincoln Adventurer New Energy, a PHEV plug-in hybrid model. This test is very cruel - we directly discharge the power to 0%, and then run 100 kilometers to measure the fuel consumption of 100 kilometers under the power loss state.
Static evaluation:
Compact SUV with 2-ton class kerb weight
The exterior interior design of the Adventurer PHEV is basically indistinguishable from the fuel version of the Adventurer. The body positioning of a compact SUV with a length of more than 4.6 meters and a wheelbase of more than 2.7 meters. It looks similar to the tonnage of the Lexus NX plug-in hybrid.
But the price is a lot cheaper - I only went to see the NX 400h+ before May Day, the low-end model exceeded 420,000 yuan and did not have a penny discount, and the car had to wait for half a year, while the risker PHEV's high-end model price was about 340,000 yuan, which was 70,000 yuan lower.
The shape and details are basically the visual sense of the "trumpet pilot". The 19-inch rim on the side is very wide, the PHEV can use a larger rim because of the "power support", and the tail is equipped with through tail lights, and the tail box space is not shrunk compared to the fuel version.
The interior can be divided into 3 levels. The first is the inheritance of American luxury, reflected in a higher proportion of leather wrapping area and wide leather seats; the second is the young element, the instrument panel uses metal trim and interior atmosphere lights combined with the design, 12.3-inch full LCD instrument + 12.8-inch central control large screen Combination of science and technology is good, the addition of the fragrance system is conducive to attracting the attention of some young girls.
The car machine system can be operated by voice, its support for navigation, voice of the basic traffic is free, we test drive this car entertainment system at the beginning of the month will provide 1 more than G of traffic for free, do not know how much traffic to private owners to give away.
When there is traffic, playing QQ music is very smooth, but if you choose a lossless source, the free traffic will soon be gone. Choosing to connect to a wiFi hotspot on your phone is one way to do it, but it's a little more complicated.
The rear legroom and head space are superior in compact SUVs, while the seat width performance of American cars is always excellent.
Dynamic Performance:
Both acceleration and fuel consumption are satisfactory
In terms of powertrain, the Adventurer PHEV is equipped with a 1.5T engine + dual front and rear motors.
The 1.5T engine configuration is very important, and THE PHEV models tend to have a large quality of maintenance, generally starting at the 1.8-ton level. The Adventurer PHEV and Lexus NX are both 2-ton levels. In the state of power loss, the engine needs to undertake the main task of providing power for the vehicle, if the engine is 1.5L, 1.6L natural suction, which is a weak performance configuration, it is likely to face the unfavorable working conditions of the "small horse-drawn cart".
In addition, the technical school of the adventurer PHEV hybrid system is a split type, and the front axle is arranged with a POWER-SPLIT hybrid split dual motor structure, which is the same technology school as the Toyota dual engine.
The core of power-SPLIT is eEVT, which connects the engine and two permanent magnet synchronous motors through a planetary gear set, which can efficiently distribute the power flow output of the motor and the engine, and can use the motor to adjust the engine speed, good at fuel saving.
And this time our fuel consumption test of the adventurer PHEV is:
The first 50 km using the normal mode of driving, recording a fuel consumption of 6.6L/100 km; 50-70 km using the "energy storage mode", the fuel consumption level rose to 7.1L/100km, but the battery power was charged from 0% to 9%; the 71-100km range was driven in energy-saving mode, although it had reached the evening peak of Chengdu at this time, but the fuel consumption level finally dropped to 6.3L/km.
Also available is long-distance high-speed fuel consumption. During the small long holiday, driving the adventurer PHEV self-driving, most of the nearly 1100 kilometers of travel was high-speed road conditions, recording an average fuel consumption of 6.1L/100km, during which only twice when staying at the hotel, a total of 38 yuan.
In addition to fuel consumption, the accelerated performance of PHEV is also of concern to consumers. Previously, PHEV was called "full of electric dragons, no electric worms", because the previous PHEV models were mainly series and parallel structures, and the technology was not advanced enough.
The adventurer PHEV's POWER-SPLIT hybrid power shunt system can basically combine the performance of the motor and the engine together, and the maximum output power can theoretically reach 203kW. So when the power is sufficient, its acceleration ability is very bullish - accelerating more than 7 seconds from 100 kilometers.
And even if the acceleration performance of the adventurer PHEV is not bad under the electrical conditions, in fact, its battery still has electricity, which is reserved at the design level - although it cannot activate the pure electric mode, there will still be some power released when starting and accelerating sharply, of course, it is also looking for opportunities to recharge itself during driving, including kinetic energy recovery when braking and going downhill, and replenishing power when the engine is idling to run the air conditioner.
The driver concluded with >>>
Overall, the impact of test driving the Lincoln Adventurer PHEV is very strong, and the PHEV model can be so fuel-efficient under the condition of loss of electricity, especially for long-distance driving, it has no mileage anxiety and low fuel consumption, which is very prominent in the current high oil price background.
