With a budget of 500,000 yuan and planning to buy a luxury brand hybrid model, what options will there be?
In fact, the choice is still relatively large, at present, BBA is in the same class to provide plug-in hybrid models to choose from, including Mercedes-Benz E-class plug-in hybrid version, BMW 5 series plug-in hybrid version and Audi A6L plug-in hybrid version.
Today, we will briefly interpret these three models to see which one is worth buying.
Mercedes-Benz E-Class plug-in hybrid version
At present, the Mercedes-Benz E-class plug-in hybrid version is available in two shapes, namely the large standard version and the vertical standard version, and the two models are consistent in terms of price, and the official guidance price is 522,300 yuan.
The exterior and interior are consistent with the Mercedes-Benz E-Class fuel version, so we will not repeat it and focus on its power system.
Mercedes-Benz E-Class plug-in hybrid version is equipped with a plug-in hybrid system composed of a 2.0T engine and an electric motor, with a maximum power of 211 horsepower and a peak torque of 350Nm; The maximum power of the motor is 122 horsepower, the peak torque is 440N·m, and the maximum power of the system is 320 horsepower, which is matched with a 9AT gearbox; The battery pack has a capacity of 25.4kWh, a pure electric range of 101km in WLTC conditions, and a fuel consumption of 6.8L/100km.
It should be noted that the Mercedes-Benz E-class plug-in hybrid version is still equipped with Mercedes-Benz's previous generation plug-in hybrid technology, and the engine model is M274, so the whole set of technology is slightly older, but the pure electric cruising range of more than 100km is relatively generous and can fully meet the needs of daily commuting.
The real disadvantage of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class plug-in hybrid version is in the configuration, including L2 level assisted driving functions, keyless entry and other configurations need to be optional, the former is understandable, the latter is not used as a standard equipment is really a little incomprehensible.
BMW 5 Series Plug-in Hybrid
Compared with the Mercedes-Benz E-class plug-in hybrid version, the BMW 5 Series plug-in hybrid version has a richer choice, providing three models to choose from, and the official guidance price range is 499,900 yuan - 536,900 yuan.
In terms of power, the BMW 5 Series plug-in hybrid version is also equipped with a plug-in hybrid system composed of a 2.0T engine and an electric motor, the maximum power of the engine is 184 horsepower, the maximum power of the motor is 109 horsepower, the peak torque is 265N·m, the comprehensive maximum power of the system is 292 horsepower, the comprehensive peak maximum torque is 420N·m, and the 8AT gearbox is matched. The acceleration time is 6.7 seconds per 100 km/h; the capacity of the battery pack is 17.7kWh, the pure electric cruising range of WLTC is 73km, and the comprehensive fuel consumption is also 6.8L/100km.
Compared with the Mercedes-Benz E-class plug-in hybrid version, the technology of the BMW 5 series plug-in hybrid version is slightly stronger, but the battery pack capacity is smaller than that of the Mercedes-Benz E-class plug-in hybrid version, so the pure electric cruising range is obviously not as good as the Mercedes-Benz E-class plug-in hybrid version.
In terms of configuration, air suspension and Mercedes-Benz E-class plug-in hybrid version are the same standard equipment of the whole series, with stronger pertinence, the high-end pioneer version of the M sports package version also provides L2 level assisted driving functions, keyless entry, front seat ventilation and no need for optional, so the overall configuration looks more sincere; Of course, there are also a little regrets in terms of configuration, such as the panoramic image of all models need to be optional.
Audi A6L plug-in hybrid
The Audi A6L plug-in hybrid version is currently only available in one configuration option, and the official guidance price is 508,000 yuan.
In terms of power, the Audi A6L plug-in hybrid version is equipped with a plug-in hybrid system composed of a 2.0T engine and an electric motor, with a maximum power of 252 horsepower and a peak torque of 370Nm; The maximum power of the electric motor is 143 horsepower, the peak torque is 350N·m, the system comprehensive maximum power is 267 horsepower, the peak torque is 500N·m, matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission and four-wheel drive system, the acceleration time is 6.7 seconds per 100 km; the capacity of the battery pack is 14.1kWh, the pure electric cruising range of WLTC working conditions is 44km, and the fuel consumption of the battery reaches 7.35L/100km.
The advantage of the Audi A6L plug-in hybrid version is that the only one of the three models is equipped with a four-wheel drive system, which is the only option if there is a demand for four-wheel drive; In addition, because the engine parameters are stronger, the power feeling will be better when the battery pack loses power, but the fuel consumption is relatively higher.
In terms of configuration, the basic configuration of the Audi A6L plug-in hybrid version and the Mercedes-Benz E-class plug-in hybrid version are basically at the same level, and the assisted driving function also needs to be optional, and does not provide air suspension, so in terms of comfort, there will be a certain gap compared to the Mercedes-Benz E-class plug-in hybrid version and the BMW 5 series plug-in hybrid version.
Conclusion:
Overall, among these three models, the Mercedes-Benz E-class has advantages in pure electric range, the BMW 5 series plug-in hybrid version has advantages in configuration, and the advantage of the Audi A6L plug-in hybrid version is equipped with a four-wheel drive system, and the three have their own merits.
For users, if you don't want to spend extra money to choose the assisted driving function, it is more appropriate to choose the BMW 5 series plug-in hybrid version of the high-end model, but the panoramic image must be optional, and the panoramic image function of such a large car is still necessary. If you care more about pure electric range, the Mercedes-Benz E-Class plug-in hybrid version is more worth considering; If you simply need a green card, and there is a demand for a four-wheel drive system, or if you are more sensitive to price, the Audi A6L plug-in hybrid version is more worth considering, which is also the largest discount of the three models.
So the question is, if you have a budget of about 500,000, would you rather buy a fuel version of BBA or a hybrid version of BBA?
