With the continuous improvement of the market penetration rate and market acceptance of new energy vehicles, under the influence of word of mouth and public opinion guidance of existing users, more and more consumers are considering buying a new energy model for daily transportation or home. Among the many new energy models, the big five-seat electric SUV is undoubtedly the most popular category, they not only have spacious space and comfortable riding experience, but also have efficient power and the advantages of low-carbon environmental protection and low travel costs.
But in the automotive market, the big five-seat electric SUV also faces fierce competition and involution. So, what is a product that really meets the needs of users? What product features should a big five-seat electric SUV have? In order to answer this question, the author today selected two large five-seat electric SUVs with similar prices and a certain degree of popularity in the market for comparison, these two models are Weipai new Mocha DHT-PHEV and BYD frigate 07. Through case comparison, let's see what is the big five-seat electric SUV that consumers really need, and who can redefine the big five-seat flagship electric SUV?
space
First of all, the first point, is a determiner in its name - "big", for the big five-seat electric SUV, space is the most basic product feature, users buy such models, often to meet the needs of family travel or business reception, so "big" is the most basic expectation for the big five-seat SUV, then let's see which of these two cars is bigger?
In terms of body size, the Weipai New Mocha DHT-PHEV has advantages in length, width and wheelbase, and the frigate 07 is only ahead in altitude. Specifically, the Wei brand new Mocha DHT-PHEV has a size of 4881*1960*1690mm and a wheelbase of 2915mm; The corvette 07 is 4820 * 1920 * 1750mm with a wheelbase of 2820mm. Simply put, in terms of body length, width and wheelbase that determine the size of interior space and ride comfort, Weipai new Mocha DHT-PHEV is obviously more advantageous.
In terms of details, without encroaching on the trunk space, the horizontal distance between the rear seat and the front seat is 943mm, such a large space, "Erlang leg freedom" is not a problem at all. Not only that, Weipai New Mocha DHT-PHEV also uses high-quality soundproof glass and high-performance sound-absorbing materials to ensure the quietness of the car, spacious and comfortable, and the experience is also better. On the other hand, the 07,2820mm wheelbase of the frigate and the length of 4820mm are not small, but they do not show advantages in front of the Weipai new Mocha DHT-PHEV.
Power experience
The second point can also be found in the "big five-seat electric SUV", that is, "electric". As a "dark horse" in the new energy market now, plug-in hybrid power is undoubtedly the most in line with the current national conditions, and consumers buy such models, often hoping to enjoy efficient, fuel-efficient, environmentally friendly, flexible driving experience, so power is one of the most important needs of "big five-seat electric SUV", and Wei brand new Mocha DHT-PHEV and frigate 07 do how?
In terms of power, both are equipped with a 1.5T plug-in hybrid system, but the specific parameters are too complicated, the author will not repeat the parameters, mainly depends on their specific performance, in the power is more intuitive zero hundred acceleration comparison, Wei brand new Mocha DHT-PHEV 100 km acceleration time of 7.3 seconds, and the price of the corvette 07 two-wheel drive version is 8.9 seconds, stronger acceleration performance, but also shows that Wei brand new Mocha DHT-PHEV greater power and stronger power.
Let's take a look at the core experience of the green brand hybrid model - endurance and fuel consumption, among which the WLTC pure electric cruising range of the Wei brand new Mocha DHT-PHEV is 175km, and the WLTC pure electric range of the frigate 07 version of the same price (2023 DM-i 205KM Premium model) is 170km, the two are basically no gap, both are very excellent results; In terms of fuel consumption, the BYD frigate 07, which has always been based on "fuel saving and low energy consumption", has a minimum WLTC fuel consumption of 5.8L/100km, while the WLTC of the new Weipai New Mocha DHT-PHEV has a fuel consumption of 5.55L/100km, which is better than the frigate 07. Weipai New Mocha DHT-PHEV can achieve such "high energy and low consumption", also thanks to its two-speed hybrid DHT technology and three power modes, which can choose different power modes under different working conditions to achieve the best balance between power and energy consumption.
In addition, excellent driving experience is also an excellent model should have the main points, an excellent daily driving feeling, the author believes that there are two aspects, one is "stability", the other is "convenience", Wei brand new Mocha DHT-PHEV is also outstanding in this regard, master control chassis brings excellent driving stability; The variety of intelligent assistance brought by Coffee Pilot driving assistance makes driving a breeze, including automatic lane change assistance, automatic parking, etc., which are not available in the frigate 07.
Therefore, in terms of comprehensive comparison, in terms of power experience, Weipai New Mocha DHT-PHEV has scored another point with rich configuration and excellent experience.
security
Since it is a model that focuses on household use and daily commuting, safety is the most important point among the many performances of the vehicle, as a plug-in hybrid power model with a battery pack, not only to consider whether the structure and performance of the vehicle itself are safe and reliable, but more importantly, whether the battery and electrical system are safe and stable. After all, "safety is the greatest luxury of electric vehicles".
First look at the most basic body safety, these two cars use high-strength steel body skeleton, which is nothing to criticize, are basic requirements, but in the "life defense line" airbag equipment, Wei brand new Mocha DHT-PHEV is richer, standard equipped with 7 airbags, in addition to the conventional airbag, than the corvette 07 corresponding version of the model has an additional front knee airbag, more comprehensive protection.
Secondly, is the basic battery safety of new energy vehicles, whether it is Wei brand new Mocha DHT-PHEV or frigate 07 have adopted a relatively safe program, through a variety of ways to protect the battery from damage, but also passed a variety of safety tests to ensure that the battery will not cause secondary damage to passengers. So in terms of battery safety, there is nothing wrong with both, and you can choose with confidence.
Then there is intelligent safety, as a "new era" of new energy, intelligent safety is undoubtedly a very important configuration, both models are equipped with L2 level automatic driving assistance system, including adaptive cruise, lane keeping, collision warning, automatic braking and other functions, but Wei brand new Mocha DHT-PHEV in the intelligent safety system is more advanced, in addition to the above functions, but also increased lane centering, moving object warning, reversing side warning, automatic lane change assist and other functions. These features can make driving easier and safer, as well as avoid some potential hazards.
Written at the end:
On the whole, whether from space, power, or safety considerations, these two cars are very in line with the requirements for a large five-seat electric SUV, but in contrast, the Wei brand new Mocha DHT-PHEV is one position ahead of the frigate 07.
Moreover, in terms of price, the price of Weipai new Mocha DHT-PHEV is 231,800 yuan, and the frigate 07 of the same price compared with it is 245,800 yuan, such a price, considering its rich configuration and excellent comprehensive performance, is undoubtedly more value-for-money, so do you also think that Weipai new Mocha DHT-PHEV is to redefine the big five-seat flagship electric SUV?
