"With a length of more than 4.7 meters and a wheelbase of more than 2.8 meters, you can buy a hybrid for 139,900, which is indeed a good deal." This is the evaluation I have heard more about the new car Haoji recently, more importantly, I inquired about the order volume of this car, 50% of it came from hybrid, you know, this car launched 6 models, of which only one hybrid, but occupies such a large number of orders, it can be seen that this hybrid is indeed very attractive, today we are also a good study of the hybrid version of Dongfeng Haoji.
In the design part, Haoji adopts the design concept of the Wind Mark family, the oversized air intake grille on the front face is very eye-catching, and the black padding creates a sense of sportiness. At the same time, Haoji also uses a color-block body, front and rear through-light strips, as well as black exterior mirrors that can further highlight the sporty atmosphere, black wheels and a total of two exhaust outlets on both sides, and the overall look is relatively young.
The interior part has a strong technological atmosphere and the materials used are also relatively generous. On the center console, Haoji is equipped with dual 12.3-inch joint screens, but unlike the embedded and floating designs used in other models, Haoji combines the two. At the same time, its center console also uses a large number of soft leather wraps, with stitching treatment and piano paint panel, which visually has a good sense of grade.
The configuration in the car is also relatively rich, the central control large screen and LCD dashboard are relatively playable, of which the LCD dashboard can display basic information, there are also panoramic map and AR navigation two modes, which are more fresh. The central control screen is equipped with Internet of Vehicles, voice interaction, Baidu Map, iQiyi, Singbar and HUAWEI Hicar. In addition, Haoji also supports mobile phone wireless charging, remote start and other functions, and the overall performance is more prominent in the same price model.
Although Haoji is positioned as a compact SUV, it performs a little larger than most compact SUVs in terms of body size. In terms of specific dimensions, its length, width and height are 4720x1910x1702 (mm), and the wheelbase is 2825mm. Among them, the wheelbase is particularly eye-catching, after all, as a mid-size SUV, the Highlander has a wheelbase of only 2850/2790mm, and the crown road is only 2820mm. What's more, the Haoji is only a five-seat layout at this size, so even if you just look at the parameters, you can predict that its spatial performance will not be bad.
Based on the actual ride of our 184cm tall experiencers, after adjusting the main driver's seat to the lowest, there is still one fist and two fingers left in the headroom, which is quite generous. Move to the second row, at which point there are still four fingers left in headroom and two punches in legroom. To be honest, since there is a wheelbase of more than 2.8 meters, I personally think that Haoji can actually consider providing 6-seat or 7-seat models, after all, six- or seven-seater cars are also just needed by many people.
Although there are no six or seven seats to choose from, Haoji is one of the few models in its class equipped with a "queen co-pilot". The so-called "queen co-pilot" means that the co-pilot's seat supports electric adjustment, with leg rest and other functions, which can provide a more comfortable sitting position for the co-pilot.
In terms of other seat configurations and comfort features, Haoji is equipped with electric adjustment for the main driver's seat, while the second row of seats supports backrest angle adjustment, and has a rear center armrest and cup holders. In addition, Haoji is also equipped with multi-color ambient lights, rear exhaust air vents, interior air conditioning/pollen filtration, PM2.5 filtration device in the car, and 1 USB charging port in the rear, which is generally in line with the performance of models at this price.
As a hybrid model, power is naturally at its core. The Haoji hybrid model is equipped with the Mach dual-engine MHD hybrid system, which consists of a 1.5T four-cylinder hybrid engine and an HD120 hybrid electric drive. The 1.5T engine has a maximum power of 130kW and a maximum torque of 240Nm, while the total power of the electric motor is 130kW. After the combination of the two, the maximum comprehensive power of the entire system is 180kW and the comprehensive torque is 540Nm, which is quite good power data. The transmission system part is the more common E-CVT continuously variable gearbox. This hybrid system has four working conditions: pure electric/series drive, parallel drive, direct engine drive and brake energy recovery, and the NEDC comprehensive fuel consumption can be as low as 4.8L/100km, which is remarkable.
From the actual driving point of view, when the battery power is sufficient, the low-speed range (within 40km/h) engine basically will not intervene, the driving experience of pure electric drive is obvious, and the starting acceleration is relatively easy; When the speed is up or adjusted to the sport mode, the engine will immediately intervene, and the throttle becomes more sensitive, and the car accelerates more agilely. At high speed (vehicle speed exceeds 100km/h), Haoji will enter the engine direct drive mode, in this mode, if overtaking is required, the power system of pressing the accelerator pedal deeply will enter the high-speed parallel mode, which can ensure that the overtaking action is completed quickly. After experiencing it, the feeling is still relatively good, with more obvious family SUV attributes.
It is worth mentioning that the Haoji hybrid version of the model is also equipped with L2 level driving assistance, the hardware part provides 5 cameras, 4 ultrasonic radars and 1 millimeter wave radar, including active braking, lane keeping assist system, road traffic sign recognition, full-speed adaptive cruise and other mainstream functions.
Summary:
After a comprehensive review, the answer has been quite clear, and the Haoji hybrid version is indeed really powerful. As far as the car itself is concerned, an SUV with a guide price of less than 140,000, a wheelbase of more than 2.8 meters, a relatively rich vehicle configuration, and a hybrid system can be equipped with a hybrid system, which is indeed more rare. Although there is still room for improvement in some details, the cost performance of the whole car is still very high.
