Compared with last year's pure electric first, in 2024 today, we are fed up with the range anxiety of pure electric models, and we don't want to spend more money on fuel for internal combustion engines, plug-in hybrid models are our best choice to balance the two in the purchase of a car, we have a hard-earned deposit of more than 100,000 yuan, how will we choose? Song PLUS and C11 from the new power brand Leap. Let's see who's the best choice on the plug-in hybrid track!
The main factor that determines the quality of a hybrid car is the hybrid system it is equipped with. The first to introduce the hybrid concept and introduce it to the development of models is definitely Toyota, which has been deeply involved in hybrid systems for 25 years and has undergone four generational changes. Equipped with the latest fifth-generation THS hybrid system, the Fenglanda is still flawed by Toyota's hybrid technology iteration based on fuel models in the new energy era where the word "volume" is at the head of the domestic "volume".
Although compared to the fourth-generation hybrid system, the new THS power structure is smaller, more powerful and consumes less energy. The battery has been reduced from 1.4 kWh to 1 kWh, the combined system power has increased to 144 kW, and the combined fuel consumption has been reduced to 4.58 liters per 100 km. On paper, its performance can be said to be very good, but Toyota's understanding of hybrid technology has always been based on the optimization of fuel efficiency, and the core of the technology has always been to serve "oil", not "electricity".
BYD's proud Song Pro and Song PLUS combination, with Xiaoyun 1.5L engine and EHS electric hybrid system in the hybrid market to quickly seize the market share of Toyota, has now become the 150,000 range of hybrid models can not be avoided However, at present, Shuangsong still has unsolvable problems, that is, it is impossible to ensure the normal output and smoothness of power in the feeding state, which is not only a problem for BYD, but a challenge for all hybrid models on the market, that is, how to ensure the power output in the feeding state.
Leap C11 is indeed not weak in power configuration and optimization, motor power 200kW, maximum torque of 360Nm, as far as a medium-sized SUV is concerned, it is a qualified data performance, and as an extended range model, the engine it is equipped with is only used for power generation and does not participate in direct drive, in actual performance, the engine shake of a large number of feedback from users also makes the user's driving experience greatly reduced in terms of comfort.
In contrast, Changan UNI-Z has achieved a technological leap compared with BYD Shuangsong, Changan UNI-Z is equipped with Chang'an's self-developed iEM intelligent high-level control, and the ECMS algorithm is mass-produced for the first time in the industry, so that Changan UNI-Z can realize a set of plug-in hybrid and extended range drive power two selection modes, in the urban driving state, the forced range extension mode is used, and the system will automatically adjust the driving mode according to the power consumption, bringing pure electric driving comfort to users; 。 In addition, the stepless transmission technology of the new Blue Whale Power ensures a silky smooth driving, and the perfect match between the engine and the generator allows you to enjoy a quiet and comfortable driving environment when charging. The comfort of electric drive makes frustration a thing of the past, and rear passengers say goodbye to motion sickness and enjoy the pleasure of every trip.
At the same time, the engine equipped with Changan UNI-Z uses Changan's latest Blue Whale Power HE 15 engine, which has the world's leading 150mJ high-energy ignition, 16:1 high compression ratio, and a series of advanced technologies, with the blessing of many black technologies to achieve 43.31% ultra-high thermal efficiency, which also means that Changan UNI-Z has 5.15L/100km ultra-low feed fuel consumption. Tricky issues such as ride efficiency can also maximize fuel efficiency!
In the competition with the above power performance, the new Blue Whale hybrid high-efficiency special engine equipped with Changan UNI-Z undoubtedly shows the advantages of crushing. As a result, the comprehensive performance of Changan UNI-Z in all aspects can not only play, but also cover various scenarios of users' daily travel, bringing users the best car experience.
Safety is still a part of today's new energy track that users are very concerned about!Here I want to put Changan UNI-Z in the first place, as for why, it is worthy of our praise as the standard L2 level assisted driving! Including ACC full-speed adaptive cruise, FCW front collision warning, AEB-C/I automatic emergency braking - vehicle, AEB-P automatic emergency braking - pedestrian, CSL automatic speed limit assist, LDW lane departure warning, LKA lane keeping assist system, ELK emergency lane correction, TSR traffic sign recognition, IACC integrated adaptive cruise and other 11 active and passive safety configurations, intelligent driving configuration!
In addition to the active and passive safety configuration, Changan UNI-Z is equipped with the unique full-voice AI parking assistant and APA automatic parking 6.0 in the same class, which not only has an intergenerational advantage, but also makes parking a breeze with accurate and efficient recognition capabilities. At the same time, the mobile APP remote driving function also greatly improves the convenience of using the car, users can remotely start the vehicle within 200 meters and set the memory starting point, the whole operation process is smooth and efficient.
The Leapmotor C11 is also equipped with the leapmotor pilot intelligent driving assistance system, which also has 23 intelligent driving assistance functions launched at one time, including 360-degree panoramic image, hill assist, automatic parking, lane merging assist, lane departure warning, lane keeping, road traffic sign recognition, etc.
Song Pro, Song Plus and Changan UNI-Z are all trying to create a smart cockpit for consumers through cutting-edge "black technology", but in this technology competition, Changan UNI-Z undoubtedly showed a better performance. In particular, the core concept of "entry is high configuration" of science and technology equality, Changan UNI-Z is equipped with L2 level assisted driving as standard, so that IACC integrated adaptive cruise, FCW front collision warning and other 11 active safety functions, but not become the "privilege" of Song Pro/Song PLUS high-end models. In terms of functions, including full voice AI parking assistant and APA automatic parking 6.0, the AI voice assistant can wake up quickly within 0.3 seconds, which is a generational difference with Song Pro and Song Plus.
Toyota Fenglanda's T-Pilot intelligent driving assistance system is also L2 level assisted driving, but compared with Changan UNI-Z and Leap C11, Toyota has put more effort into mitigating and avoiding accidents, including PDA predictive active driving assistance system, EDSS emergency driving stop system, and PCS pre-collision safety system. While security is important, other features need to go hand in hand. In terms of intelligent driving, I have reason to believe that domestic models understand domestic consumers better.
In terms of appearance, each of the three cars has a family-oriented heritage, and also has a fashion and maverick for the young market. As for why, like his brand, the overly traditional design, although it has a clear family face, is difficult to associate with avant-garde fashion.
The corresponding Leap C11, in the design is more inclined to today's young market, the design has abandoned the redundant modeling features, with the natural aesthetics of science and technology reflects the sense of science and technology with temperature, round and smooth overall design, more three-dimensional lines, highlighting its three-dimensional sense, and at the same time more full of tension. It can be said that in terms of design, the C11 trend does not lose the stability of an SUV model.
With its Dragon Face 2.0 design language, BYD Song captures the calm and restrained aesthetic needs of many Chinese consumers. The front grille is integrated into the concave design, and the armor dot matrix shape is very powerful. The double-C vent design on both sides of the grille adds a touch of dynamism and vitality to the vehicle. The interior of Song PLUS adopts a minimalist style, effectively blending simplicity and practicality.
Looking at Changan UNI-Z again, the design language of avant-garde technology in the model design continues the gravitational sequence, the huge middle net at the front of the car is decorated with dot matrix dense pieces, the trapezoidal lower air hole and supplemented by the triangular deflector grooves at both ends, the overall design is very sporty, and the visual impact is very strong!
In terms of exterior design, I think BYD's Song Pro and Song Plus and Toyota Fenglander are more models that retain the family's face, Leap C11 and Changan UNI-Z have their own characteristics, Leap is not as radical as Changan UNI-Z in design, and Changan UNI-Z is indeed more fashionable than Leap C11 in terms of visual experience!
The exterior may make you stop, but the interior space is the part you come into contact with the most every day, not only yourself, but also your family and your lovers. In terms of exterior dimensions, Toyota Fenglanda: 4485/1825/1620mm, wheelbase 2640mm. Song Pro: 4738/1860/1710mm with a wheelbase of 2712mm. On the basis of the Pro, the wheelbase of the Song PLUS has been increased to 2765mm, and the Changan UNI-Z: 4730/1890/1680mm, and the wheelbase is 2795mm. Leap C11: 4780mm/1905/1675mm, wheelbase 2930mm.
In terms of parameters, the Leap C11 has the longest wheelbase and the longest body size of the three cars, but as a mid-size SUV, it does not have much bright spot in terms of data. As a compact SUV, Changan UNI-Z has the longest wheelbase of 2795mm in the same class, and the 0.878 class-leading aspect ratio also makes the rear seat more spacious and comfortable!
In addition to the large space, Changan UNI-Z also shows full sincerity in the configuration of the smart cockpit! such as intelligent voice interaction outside the car, face recognition system, GRS gesture control system 2.0, 14.6-inch technology central control screen, etc., almost all the interaction methods you think of are arranged for you!
In addition to space, the chassis is also the top priority, Changan UNI-Z adopts the ark architecture chassis, low stiffness suspension design, double-layer silent glass, and more than 30 sound-absorbing materials. It is definitely unique in the same class of models, and in fact, whether it is driving or riding, the experience can be called luxurious and quiet!
Obviously, in this part of the comparison, it is not difficult to see that although the Leap C11 is a medium-sized SUV, both the ride experience and the space texture are weaker than Changan UNI-Z! Toyota Fenglanda, as a product of an old joint venture car company, conservative data performance and traditional concepts make it not have too many advantages in the current market.
In fact, we have compared so much, whether it is in appearance, space, power or intelligent driving, we can clearly see the rise of domestic brands! In the past 3 years, BYD Song Pro/Song PLUS, as a leader in the market, has won wide recognition for its balanced product quality. But in this new era, Changan UNI-Z not only pursues comprehensive product performance, but also gives consumers an unprecedented experience in intelligence and driving pleasure, showing the domineering spirit of "a generation of new people is better than the old"! There are also great advantages in intelligent assistance systems. Changan UNI-Z first enjoy the price of 127,900-134,900, in terms of price, Changan UNI-Z is also lower than zero run C11, I would like to call it "spend a little money, do a big thing!" In the case of limited funds, you can get the enjoyment of jumping, why not?
