Some time ago, the thor Hi · X is not a hybrid product that consumers are eager to buy. Not only is the price higher than that of pure fuel models, but the engine is replaced by a three-cylinder 1.5T, and it cannot hang a green card, which means that users cannot enjoy the universal benefit of free purchase tax, and users in some limited cities also need to pay an additional license fee. The superposition of car prices and various expenses has overshadowed the new energy saving label of Xingyue L Hybrid.
Recently, Geely's second model carrying the Thor Hi · The X Hybrid Technology model was launched, and it was also Geely's first hybrid sedan. However, compared with the Xingyue L hybrid, the newly listed Emgrand L hybrid seems to be more worthy of consumer attention. For hi · Why are the two models of X Hybrid Technology so differently interested in them?
It all had to start with Emgrand L Thor Hi· A green card of X said.
The Hoshikoshi L Hybrid and Emgrand L Hybrid are both equipped with the auspicious Thor Hi· X hybrid technology, can be more accurately said, the set of Star Yue L belongs to the oil-electric hybrid (HEV), as a whole and Toyota THS and Honda iMMD hybrid route similar, because it does not have charging and pure electric driving conditions, so it can only hang ordinary blue cards; and Emgrand L adopts the form of plug-in hybrid (PHEV), according to the official pure electric mileage of up to 100km, to meet the current green brand pure electric mode endurance of more than 50km standard.
You can hang a green card, and the situation of emgrand L hybrid is much more optimistic than the star-more L hybrid. In other words, in addition to enjoying the purchase tax exemption, the purchase of Emgrand L Hybrid can also further enjoy subsidy concessions according to the local policies of the place where the car is purchased. In addition, for some limited-license cities, the significance of the green card of Emgrand L hybrid is believed to be self-evident. Like the license bidding fee and the restriction of the line, for the two major constraints of ordinary consumers in the restricted city to buy a car, the role of the green card of Emgrand L hybrid is vividly reflected.
What's more, although Emgrand L and Star Yue L are compact positioning, the difference in categories gives Emgrand L a more affordable price as a car. Even if the price of the Emgrand L Hybrid Version will still be higher than that of the ordinary fuel version, the guidance price of the three models in the series is 129,800, 135,800 and 145,800, which is much cheaper than the 171,700 and 183,700 of the Hoshikoshi L Hybrid.
At the same time, it is worth mentioning that the price range of Emgrand L hybrid is basically at the same level as the independent brand car that mainly focuses on the young route, such as shadow leopard and UNI-V, and the biggest advantage of Emgrand L hybrid is of course energy saving. Even for the joint venture brand sedan at the same price, the energy-saving advantages of the Emgrand L Hybrid are still outstanding. Like the ordinary fuel version of Xuanyi, Corolla, Leiling, etc., the landing price is actually equivalent to the landing price of Emgrand L Hybrid. The same PHEV structure of the Leiling dual engine E+, the price of the entry-level version is close to 200,000, pure electrical endurance performance, interior texture is even worse than Emgrand L hybrid. Therefore, the author believes that the pricing of emgrand L hybrid is relatively reasonable and competitive.
Putting aside the price of the model associated with the green label, the product strength performance of the Emgrand L Hybrid is also crucial.
Especially in the case of styling design, space size, interior layout and other overall close to the ordinary version of Emgrand L, how to make consumers accept the premium of tens of thousands of yuan higher than the Emgrand L hybrid through more hardcore mechanical properties? In fact, from the perspective of energy-saving parameters, the hybrid performance of Emgrand L and Xingyue L can be described as excellent enough, and the data of the two are relatively close. For example, the official claim that the longest cruising range of both is 1300km, and in an extreme challenge competition, the Star-Vietnam L Hybrid has run a performance of 100 kilometers of fuel consumption as low as 3.9L.

Ordinary fuel Emgrand L
The Emgrand L hybrid is also unyielding, and it is reported that the fuel consumption of 100 kilometers in the feed state can also be as low as 3.8L. It is worth mentioning that even though it is known that the Star-Vietnam L Hybrid is based on Geely's higher-level CMA platform, the Emgrand L Hybrid from BMA seems to be superior in terms of mechanical literacy. Including a four-cylinder 1.5T engine, the power adjustment is more aggressive than the three-cylinder 1.5T of the Hoshigoku L Hybrid. For example, the maximum power can be output of 181Ps, the peak torque is 610N·m, and the zero hundred acceleration only takes 6.9s.
To be honest, thanks to the assistance of the motor, the sporty performance of the Emgrand L Hybrid is comparable to the traditional fuel sports car that claims to accelerate the attribute of the lamp. Like the Shadow Leopard's 6.95s, UNI-V's 7.3s, Lynk & Co's 03's 7.9s, etc., in the zero hundred acceleration column, they all fell in front of the Emgrand L hybrid. What is even more valuable is that it really achieves the need between performance and energy saving between fish and bear paws, and still crushes traditional fuel vehicles in terms of fuel consumption.
Considering that Toyota and Honda, which have been mixed in the field of hybridism before, the average fuel consumption of the same level of hybrid models (HEV) is also 5L away, and the well-known speed up and crotch, Emgrand L Hybrid (PHEV) can indeed take this opportunity to educate the joint venture brand in turn, and maybe it is another domestic independent brand cornering overtaking.
The reason why it is optimistic, I have to mention the heritage of Geely Emgrand and BYD Qin PLUS DM-i.
In the era when hybrid models have not yet blossomed everywhere, cars are the weakest link of independent brands. For example, the top ten positions in the car sales list are occupied by joint venture brand models for many years, and Geely Emgrand, as a representative of its own brand, often appears in the top ten lists as a single seedling. Although it is a bit of pressure to enter the top five, it is not easy to compete with a number of joint venture brands with a relatively stable base plate with more than 10,000 vehicles per month.
Today, Emgrand is also a classic model that can support half of a brand's sky for Geely; for consumers, it has long been a reliable model that has won the hearts of the people. Based on this, we have every reason to believe that Geely Emgrand L hybrid can take the company to a new level on top of Emgrand's sales. After all, Emgrand L is in the thunder god Hi · Under the empowerment of X hybrid, we see an Emgrand with stronger comprehensive competitiveness.
On the other hand, we can also refer to the sales volume of BYD Qin PLUS DM-i, which is also the most direct competitor of the Geely Emgrand L Hybrid (and its cognate destroyer 05). With the blessing of DM-i hybrid technology, the Qin series models, which previously sold mediocre sales, became the highest-selling car series in BYD's lineup last year, selling nearly 200,000 vehicles, of which qin PLUS DM-i's contribution was the greatest. In the same way, in terms of brand power and product influence are not inferior to BYD Qin PLUS DM-i's Geely Emgrand L Hybrid, its performance after listing is more expected.
At present, the domestic plug-and-mix market at this level is actually calculated to be two models of Emgrand L and Qin PLUS, and the competitive pressure environment is relatively relaxed. Looking at the strength between the two models, there are also advantages and disadvantages. For example, the price threshold of Qin PLUS will be lower, but the pure electric endurance performance is also discounted by nearly half, and the pure electric endurance is higher, and the overall price range of the version up to 120km is higher than that of Emgrand L.
The official announcement is also 3.8L of 100 km feed fuel consumption, in the case of full fuel, Emgrand L and Qin PLUS comprehensive endurance performance are more than 1000km. In my opinion, I would be more inclined to choose the Emgrand L Hybrid, which is more ahead of the Qin PLUS DM-i in terms of power output performance, which is more in line with the passion of young people.
Asteron summary
Under the premise that the conditions for pure electric vehicles are not yet fully mature, and the global policy for automobile environmental protection is becoming more and more imminent, plugging and mixing is indeed a transitional choice with the best of both worlds, and it is also a more mainstream choice for the transformation of traditional car companies for a long time to come. On the one hand, co-operative co-electric overcomes the anxiety problem of pure electric driving, and on the other hand, it optimizes the irreconcilable contradiction between performance and energy saving of traditional fuel vehicles. The emergence of Geely Emgrand L hybrid presents a harmonious picture of the trinity of people, cars and environments.
