Since entering the era of new energy vehicles, we can often hear the keyword "thermal management", especially in winter, the thermal management system will be particularly important, after all, it has the ability to coordinate and balance the heat exchange of the cockpit, power battery, drive motor and electronic control system, in the face of frost, rain and snow in winter, it can undertake multiple tasks of efficient vehicle operation, system safety and driver and passenger comfort.
However, at present, many car companies rarely conduct targeted tests on thermal management systems, after all, they are not confident that they can achieve enough bright results. Dongfeng Honda does not play false, dare to test the truth, in the Yakeshi Automotive Center Extreme Test Center test site, by simulating the user's daily car use scene in winter, the new generation of CR-V e:PHEV thermal management test, it is reported that the average temperature was lower than -20 °C, the minimum temperature was lower than -40 °C, which is undoubtedly a severe challenge for the performance and energy consumption of the vehicle.
So, what exactly does this thermal management test project include? Let's take a look at it together.
It is very important to solve the slow heating of the air conditioner
What is the most frustrating configuration of the car in winter? I believe that many friends who use new energy models will say: hidden door handles. Indeed, it is not uncommon for the hidden door handle to be frozen and unable to bounce open, and many netizens and even big V are complaining about this design.
However, the new generation CR-V retains the traditional door handle design, so it will not encounter the dilemma of being unable to open the door due to ice.
I think everyone will say that it is the air conditioner, after all, most people will turn on the heater as soon as they get in the car. Fortunately, thanks to the powerful thermal management system of the all-new CR-V e:PHEV, the new CR-V e:PHEV was able to adjust to the right temperature in less than three minutes.
It is reported that the temperature during the test is -13.7 °C, the air conditioning of the test vehicle is set to 26 °C, the wind direction is horizontal, the wind speed is the maximum, and for the external circulation, the actual test results, from -13.7 °C to 26 °C, it takes only 2 minutes and 50 seconds, the performance is eye-catching, and the temperature in the car can reach 43.6 °C after 30 minutes, which is very warm, and it is also the most comfortable temperature for winter riding.
In addition, the new generation of CR-V strong electric intelligent hybrid car can realize remote turn on air conditioning heating, this function is also extremely important, just imagine, before going out through the remote turn on air conditioning heating, from the house to the car is warm, in the cold winter is how happy.
The snow freezes and is no longer a bother
In addition to people being afraid of the cold, in fact, cars are the same. Every time it snows, the car is covered with a thick layer of snow, and the snow needs to be cleared when you pick up the car. In order to test the speed of snow melting, the official test vehicle was left to stand overnight at a temperature below -25 °C, and the next morning, the vehicle was covered with snow and the glass was frosted.
At low temperatures, engineers made a cold start, and the vehicle could respond instantaneously, start quickly, and melt the snow through the heat of the engine, which quickly melted.
In addition, the front windshield is also a headache, but also because of the engine heat, the ice can melt faster, so there is no need to shovel the ice in advance, in addition to tiring, there is also a possibility that the front windshield will be damaged due to misoperation, and the gains outweigh the losses.
It is worth mentioning that the new generation of CR-V strong electric intelligent hybrid dual car adopts a physical air conditioning defogging button, which can not only help melt the ice on the front windshield, but also solve the problem of fogging of the driving glass in winter, ensuring a comfortable environment and safe driving vision.
Low energy consumption for better economy
Seeing this, some netizens may be worried that turning on the air conditioning in advance and running the engine in place for a long time will consume too much energy consumption, although the comfort is improved, but the cost of using the car will increase a lot. In fact, after all, the fourth-generation i-MMD dual-motor hybrid system equipped with the new generation CR-V is a well-known province.
In this winter challenge, the new generation of CR-V strong electric intelligent hybrid car also carried out the energy consumption test of urban, national highway and mountain road conditions in low temperature environment, and in order to make the data closer to life, the air conditioning of the test vehicle was set to external circulation during driving, the temperature was 26 °C, the wind speed was maximum, and the wind direction was horizontal, while the fuel consumption measured by the new generation CR-V e:PHEV in the feeding state was only 5.01L/100km, which was 5.81L/ 100km (WLTC) is 14% lower.
As for the all-new CR-V e:HEV, the measured combined fuel consumption is only 6.69L/100km, which is only 3.9% higher than the official standard of 6.44L/100km (WLTC). It can be found that the two sets of energy consumption data are at the leading level in the same class, which can save more car costs for users on a daily basis.
Write at the end
It can be found that the new generation of CR-V e:HEV and CR-V e:PHEV showed good "thermal management" strength in this test, and the extreme energy consumption performance is also its advantage. In addition, compared with other brands, its rigorous testing in an extremely cold environment, the comprehensive data can still be close to the official calibration data, refusing false standards, and even playing "reverse false standards", which is commendable. Of course, this also confirms the maturity and reliability of the CR-V strong electric intelligent hybrid dual car in terms of technology, solves the pain points of consumers' winter car use, and makes the car more secure and comfortable.
