On June 3, Venucia Big V DD-i Super Hybrid officially opened pre-sales, with a total of 2 new models launched with a pre-sale price range of 13.00-142,000 yuan. Among them, the pre-sale guidance price of the Venucia V DD-i 60km iD version is 130,000 yuan, and the pre-sale guidance price of the Venucia V DD-i 110km iE version is 142,000 yuan.
How DDi and DMi differ
The author has 2 impressions of the DDi hybrid system, the first is that the pricing is good, the Venucia V 110km pre-sale guidance price is 142,000 yuan, this price to buy other plug-in hybrids, can only buy 50km or 55km version. From this point of view, Venucia Big V is also quite rolled.
The second is the technical endorsement of large manufacturers, according to reports, Venucia hybrid technology is independently developed by Dongfeng Nissan, which is also a major selling point from this point of view.
Talking about a few more key parameters, the Venucia Big V has a battery capacity of 18.4kWh for 110km and 10.3kWh for 60km. In addition, both versions use lithium iron phosphate.
In terms of fuel consumption, the official description shows that the fuel consumption of the Venucia Big V DD i is 4.3L/100km, and the power consumption is 12.2kWh per 100km. After the actual measurement of the "Electric Horse" team, the fuel consumption of 5.9L/100Km and the power consumption of 13.4kWh/100Km were obtained. Electric horse Xiaobian believes that this data is still quite powerful.
However, it is a pity that this car does not have an external discharge function.
Let's get down to business and talk about Venucia's DDi.
Venucia's hybrid system, which adopts a single-speed direct drive hybrid technology route, is a hybrid hybrid architecture driven by a high-power motor, a large-capacity battery and a high-efficiency engine.
That's right, in terms of hybrid structure, Venucia DD-i super hybrid, like BYD DM-i, adopts single-speed direct drive hybrid technology. Its drive unit is composed of a 1.5T engine +150kW high-power motor, the power output is stronger than the DM-i, and it can ensure power under extreme working conditions, even if it runs at high speed in a state of power loss, it can not stall.
Like DM-i technology, Venucia DD-i adopts the power take-off principle of "more electricity, less oil, pure electricity first, and efficient oil use". Of course, this is also the basic strategy of all hybrids.
The details are as follows:
In daily driving, pure electricity is given priority below 60km/h, when the engine does not start, and the battery provides electric energy to drive the motor to run.
In the case of a feed (e.g. SOC less than 15%), the system enters "range extension mode", where the engine generates electricity through a generator to drive the wheels while replenishing the battery.
In high-speed mode, the system will directly enter the engine direct drive mode, the engine will neither drive the generator to generate electricity, nor charge the battery, but to ensure an economic speed, directly drive the wheels, so as to achieve the purpose of high-speed fuel saving.
In the case of sharp acceleration, that is, in the case of floor oil, the engine and motor are working at the same time. However, the engine will instead drive the motor, which will bring additional power to the motor through the generator.
According to the official explanation, the new car adopts pure electric drive in nearly 90% of the working conditions, and only when the speed is more than 70 km / h and needs strong power, the engine will be involved to reduce the daily cost of the car.
The author summarizes the differences between DD-i and DM-i:
In the DD-i's operating mode, the "series discharge" will be the core of the sharp acceleration condition, that is, the engine drives the generator to supply power to the drive motor, and the battery is also discharged to the drive motor, so as to maximize power.
Among them, the engine only directly drives the wheels in the "direct drive mode", which is also the biggest difference with the BYD DM-i, and this system is closer to our understanding of extended-range hybrid.
In addition, the system has a technical highlight. That is to solve the problem of high-speed fatigue of single-speed DHT hybrid models.
We all know that single-speed DHT hybrid models often have high-speed fatigue, and some models can hardly provide fast power feedback even after 100km/h, and it is difficult to overtake at high speed. The Venucia large V DD-i super hybrid that uses a high-power motor to increase the power of the 1.5T engine makes up for this shortcoming.
The strategy adopted by the Venucia DD-i was mainly to tune the engine. Officials said that this 1.5T engine has specially formulated an energy management strategy to deal with high-speed, no matter the level of battery power, it can ensure that the power output of the whole vehicle is not discounted, eliminating the problem of telling stalls.
Finally, the DD-i Super Hybrid also supports single-pedal mode.
The Auto.E single-pedal system equipped with the Venucia Big V DD-i Super Hybrid is somewhat similar to BMW's energy recovery strategy. Its energy recovery ability can be adjusted adaptively, the camera outside the car can sense the distance and driving state of the car in front, automatically adjust the strength of kinetic energy recovery, slide longer when there is no car, and the strength of kinetic energy recovery when there is a car is stronger, which will be a very convenient function in use.
In addition, the official also said that this system can intelligently match the acceleration and deceleration algorithm according to the needs of the scene and the characteristics of working conditions, and realize the smooth switching of acceleration and deceleration on the same pedal, simplifying driving operations, reducing the frequency of operation in specific scenarios by 50% and improving comfort by 30%. This alleviates the problem of easy motion sickness in single-pedal mode.
V-Link intelligent connection system
The new car adopts the popular dual-screen design, which is 12.3-inch touch center control screen + 12.3-inch full LCD instrument cluster. The vehicle has a built-in Venucia V-Link intelligent connection system.
In terms of vehicle intelligence, it is also several dimensions ahead of its own Nissan, which can realize intelligent voice interaction, massive in-vehicle online services, One ID personalized account and other intelligence, and V2X Internet of Everything can also realize seamless connection of cars, homes, and mobile phones.
However, according to actual experience, this system logic is not simple and clear enough, for example, the system does not have a main interface, all are submenus, such a design is somewhat impersonal, and requires a certain learning cost.
Secondly, there are no opponents rich in APP, mainly Himalaya and QQ Music common apps. In this regard, the staff told us, because their research found that many of the developed APP users actually do not use. However, the editor believes that this is indeed the case, but apps such as Douyin and Weibo can still be had.
As for smart driving, there is not much official content, so I won't introduce it here.
Space: 1917mm width is the highlight
In terms of dimensions, the Venucia V DD-i has body dimensions of 4607/1917/1624mm and a wheelbase of 2700mm. Thanks to the 1917mm ultra-wide-body body, the wheelbase is 2700mm. Whether it is the front row or the back row, there is excellent performance.
In addition, the car adopts a large area of soft bags, so that passengers have a comfortable riding and driving environment, and a large area of panoramic sunroof also brings a good view to rear passengers, sitting in the back will not feel dull, while the comfort of the rear row is better, the cushion is soft, and the angle of the backrest is more appropriate.
Static: Fashion that keeps pace with the times
In terms of appearance, the new car adopts a family-style front face shape, but adopts a straight waterfall V-shaped middle net different from the fuel version and slender and slender lights on both sides, and the overall look is more stylish and technological.
The side of the body is similar to the design of the fuel version, the front and rear side wings are slightly wider out of the body, and the concave rib line design under the doors makes the new car look full of power.
The concave and convex rear end makes the sides more varied. At the rear, the new car is equipped with a roof spoiler, the shape of the tail light group is relatively simple, and the rear surround also adopts a multi-layer design, showing a good sense of layering.
Entering the car, the interior of the whole car is very simple, the new car's dual screen with physical buttons, and a new shape of the lever shift mechanism, creating a sense of technology and practicality. It is worth mentioning that the Venucia Big V DD-i cancels the one-button start switch and is equipped with a contract-level unique main driver seat ODS function to achieve non-sensory interaction, and power on as soon as you get on the car, simplifying the process of using the car.
Electric horse summary
History is always strikingly similar, and today's hybrid market is very similar to the SUV market of 2015-2018. Demand blowout, car companies ALL IN, and consumers are the biggest winners.
The launch of the Venucia Big V DD-i will bring a new boost to Venucia's sales growth, and let's look forward to whether the Super Hybrid Big V can win in the hybrid car market.
