On March 29, the M3X superhybrid | The original hybrid platform technology tasting and Yaoguang C-DM media test drive meeting was successfully held in the beautiful Huangshan Mountain. Following the 100% real commuting scene public test at Guangzhou Station, Yaoguang C-DM once again deeply reproduces the real user travel scene, restoring 100% real travel scenes with long-distance crossing and rugged mountain roads, and the public test of fuel consumption is only 4.1L, which once again makes the professional media feel the ultimate fuel economy performance of Yaoguang C-DM native hybrid platform.
In the new energy era, whether it is WLTC range or fuel consumption under comprehensive working conditions, the reference data given under the so-called "optimal working conditions" is often unconvincing to consumers. Therefore, in order to make this event closer to reality, Yaoguang C-DM restored the long-distance travel scene to the greatest extent in the design of the rules, and the challenge route included complex sections such as Panshan National Highway and rugged mountain roads, which can be described as "more difficult" for a challenge competition to test energy consumption.
Restoring the real mountain travel scene, the average fuel consumption of 4.1L/km is well deserved
Compared with the lengthy technical analysis, consumers often pay more attention to the "simple and easy-to-understand" real battery life, real energy consumption, and real safety obtained under the "optimal working conditions", which is also the reason behind Yaoguang C-DM's insistence on creating extreme challenges. Before and after the launch of the new car, Yaoguang C-DM has successively completed many industry record-setting limit tests such as "-30°C extreme cold high-speed north-south long endurance test", "6.6kW external discharge challenge", and "super national standard chassis continuous impact challenge". These tests not only verify the reliability, ease of use and safety of Yaoguang C-DM far beyond industry standards, but also establish a good reputation in the market.
The concept of restoring the "real" car scene and accepting the "extreme" test has always run through the whole life cycle of Yaoguang C-DM, and this challenge is no exception.
The first is that the vehicle itself is 100% restored to the driving state when traveling long distances. All participating vehicles will be driven in pure electric mode before the race until the remaining battery level drops below 30% to simulate the feeding state during daily driving. At the same time, each vehicle starts with full fuel, and the power loss is converted into equivalent fuel consumption through GB/T 37340-2019 "Energy Consumption Conversion Method for Electric Vehicles", and participates in the final calculation of comprehensive feed energy consumption per 100 kilometers.
In fact, it is a challenge route, the participating vehicles will be driven in a variety of scenarios such as high-speed, national highways, mountain roads, and rural areas, among which steep climbing sections and mountain roads with more blind spots will force the driver to often use the "big throttle" and "sudden braking".
However, the key point is that the terrain of Huangshan is complex, the mountain road is steep, in the challenge scene, the frequency of the national highway is higher, and the phenomenon of overtaking will inevitably occur, such as in the case of overtaking, the vehicle will slow down and slow down for safety, increase the attention of the driver For example, overtaking in corners will block part of the line of sight when driving, and the line of sight will be affected locally, so that the driving process will inevitably be obstructed; the different levels of the ramps are a major test for both the dynamic performance of the car and the stability of the chassis handling.
It is worth mentioning that the section of Huangshan is not like the traditional non-paved road, and there is no protective fence on both sides of the road, which will lead to a temporary "sudden attack" during driving, such as a car suddenly driving from the side, or encountering a small animal that suddenly runs out, which will have an impact on the driving process.
With top technology and excellent performance, Yaoguang C-DM finally finished the race with a total of 14 vehicles, the initial power was controlled by the contestants before the race to less than 30%, and the average power after the race was 17.07%, the total mileage was 2727 kilometers, the average mileage was 194.79 kilometers, the lowest fuel consumption per 100 kilometers was 3.76L, and the average fuel consumption was 4.1L, which was far lower than the official fuel consumption level of 5.4L.
Why can Yaoguang C-DM achieve such good results? It all starts with the M3X superhybrid platform dedicated to high-end models of the Xingtu brand. Yaoguang C-DM is a model built on the "native hybrid" platform, which is different from the oil-to-electric platform, and the fuel-saving logic of the original hybrid platform product is not a rough "run the electricity first and then run the oil, and take the average fuel consumption of electricity", but through the cooperation between the electronic control system and each unit, so that the motor can better assist the engine in driving.
Take, for example, the lowest 1.42L winner. Their starting point fuel consumption is less than 30%, and according to the logic of running electricity, they can't run 20 kilometers at all. However, the two of them use the hybrid mode to run the line with half the effort: in the low-speed and high-torque interval with frequent start and stop, the motor pushes the engine, and the motor waits for the opportunity to replenish energy when the engine output is abundant and the vehicle is braking. In this way, the remaining electric energy is not only a low-grade fuel, but also plays a role in the "1+1>2" power compensation for the entire driving process. Such a "smart" fuel-saving logic is quite attractive to consumers who are concerned about fuel consumption.
The native platform is comfortable and creates a better driving experience
Of course, if the development of a car puts fuel economy as the first priority, it is obviously putting the cart before the horse. Returning to the essence of the car, a good driving experience is more important.
Looking at the "driving and riding" separately, the first thing is the driving experience, and this naturally cannot be avoided by the strong power. Relying on the fourth-generation global hybrid technology of the M3X super-hybrid platform, the Yaoguang C-DM is equipped with a dedicated hybrid engine and a dual-motor 3-speed DHT gearbox dedicated to hybrids. The "China Heart" 2023 Top Ten Engines with a thermal efficiency of up to 44.5%, coupled with a national key new energy technology gearbox with a transmission efficiency of up to 97.6%, allow the Yaoguang C-DM to output efficiently in the full speed range. The two-wheel drive model is equipped with a dual-drive motor, with a maximum total power of 270kW and a maximum total torque of 605 Nm.
In addition, the smooth output of power during driving is also crucial, thanks to the advantages of "hybrid", Yaoguang C-DM has a particularly obvious advantage in this regard. At the start, the electric motor arrives with silky power and responds quickly, with the engine intervening at speeds of up to 16 km/h, but there is no pause or pause during the connection. Especially in the process of overtaking, the process from the start of the motor to the intervention of the engine is as smooth as milk chocolate.
The second is the ride experience, as the only model equipped with the "Flying Fish chassis" in the 200,000 class, the chassis comfort of the Yaoguang C-DM also allows the passengers to enjoy it. The chassis includes CDC electromagnetic suspension system, Soft Stop system, chassis hydraulic vibration isolation system, intelligent brake-by-wire system and other luxury equipment. According to official data, this chassis system can make the vehicle achieve a 36% increase in starting without looking up, a 30% increase in braking without nodding, a 5% increase in turning without rolling, and a 40% increase in bumps without sprinkling.
In addition, the Nappa leather seats of Yaoguang C-DM are delicate to the touch, and the main and co-pilot also add comfortable configurations such as double massage. ”
It can be seen that in this test drive activity of Huangshan Station, Yaoguang C-DM fully embodies the core advantages of high cost performance, comfort and stability, and well interprets the role of high-end hybrid "ceiling". Just imagine, when you drive a Yaoguang C-DM to Huangshan to travel, play a few popular attractions, you need to drive about 200 kilometers, at most consume 4 fuel, but if you drive an ordinary fuel car, 100 kilometers consume about 7 fuel, plus the influence of mountain roads, it is expected to consume 9 oil, so in contrast, Yaoguang C-DM is super cost-effective for the general user, more saving, users can also use the money saved to improve the quality of life, to add color to family life. For people who want to bring material security to their family life but do not want to have a burden, Yaoguang C-DM can be said to be the best choice.
