Recently, a spy war drama released by CCTV - "The Wind Chaser" successfully broke the circle, and the ratings continued to rise, which aroused discussion and attention among the whole people.
Rigorous script creation, exquisite service design and excellent production team have created the hit of "The Wind Chaser". Coincidentally, in the automotive circle, there is also a figure of "wind chaser" - TA is Chery Xingtu, which was launched at the beginning of this year.
The C-DM is positioned as an electric hybrid SUV in the city, with a price range of 129,800-149,800 yuan. As we all know, the current new energy competition in the domestic market has become normalized, and the 120,000-150,000 electric hybrid SUV is even stronger, especially the Song Pro DM-i. As a new entrant to the C-DM, what are its advantages, the author will analyze from multiple dimensions in the field of power performance and intelligence, and look at the advantages and disadvantages between the two, hoping to benefit users who have car purchase needs.
In terms of core technology, Xingtu C-DM comes from behind
Batteries are the cornerstone. Xingtu C-DM adopts Guoxuan Hi-Tech ternary lithium battery, which can achieve 2000 times of cycle charging, with the characteristics of low energy consumption and high life, combined with the new electronic control system, it can be parked for a long time, and the negative electrode of the battery will not lose power. The lithium iron phosphate battery used in Yadi Song Pro DM-i is relatively large due to its own characteristics, and the energy density is lower than that of ternary lithium battery under the same weight, so the overall energy consumption of lithium iron phosphate battery is higher.
Looking at the power reserve, Chery is undoubtedly a veteran in the field of hybrid technology, and its strength can compete with BYD.
The C-DM is equipped with a 1.5TCI plug-in hybrid dedicated high-efficiency engine and dual motors, which can burst out with up to 240kW of power and 545N·m of torque, which is comparable to the power data of the 3.0T V6 engine, and accelerates to 100 kilometers in 7 seconds. The Song Pro DM-i is equipped with a 1.5L engine with a high power of about 173kW, a peak torque of 325N·m, and an acceleration of 7.9 seconds per 100 kilometers.
In particular, the C-DM is equipped with the industry's first combination of 3 engine power + 3-speed DHT, 9 mode drives and 3-speed transmission combined into 11 gear options, comparable to the 3.0T V6 engine. Not only can it have a world-leading transmission efficiency of 97.6%, but it can also easily cope with different driving scenarios such as highways, long-distance travel, mountain roads, sand and gravel, and its power performance is perfect.
After zui, let's look at the battery life and charging experience:
The C-DM is equipped with a set of ternary lithium batteries with a capacity of 19.27kWh as standard, providing the new car with a pure electric range of 105km under NEDC conditions, and a comprehensive range of up to 1000km. In contrast, the Song Pro DM-i Honor Edition in the same price range is equipped with a lower-cost lithium iron phosphate battery with a capacity of 18.3kWh.
Not only is it outstanding in terms of battery life, but the C-DM also supports 29kW high-power fast charging, which only takes 25 minutes to replenish from 30% of the battery power to 80%. At the same time, the new car also supports an external discharge capacity of 3.3kW, providing users with a more convenient charging experience. This feature is undoubtedly a highlight for users who need to drive electrical equipment during weekend camping.
In comparison, the Song Pro DM-i is equipped with an 18kW DC charging port. In this way, Xingtu C-DM can not only achieve daily commuting without anxiety, but also reduce the waiting time for charging during the peak period of long-distance travel, saving time for playing or accompanying family, and the charging experience is better.
In addition, the C-DM is equipped with the first Bosch zui new IPB1.1 electronic control platform in China, which has the functions of intelligent detection and replenishment and anti-power loss, intelligently protects the battery from damage, prolongs the service life of the battery, and helps users monitor the safety and health status of the battery at any time. To put it simply, in the case of fuel consumption, battery life and other data are almost on par with Song Pro DM-i, the power of Xingtu Chasing Wind C-DM is stronger, and its strength should not be underestimated.
In terms of intelligent experience, Xingtu C-DM is far ahead
At present, all manufacturers pay attention to the intelligent configuration of automobiles. These configurations are also laying the "foreshadowing" for the future use cycle of the vehicle, and whether the intelligent foundation of the family car is done well determines whether a product can maintain vitality in the entire life cycle.
In terms of intelligence, Xingtu C-DM can be called full of gold. Let's take a look at the technological content of the smart cockpit first:
The whole series of Xingtu C-DM is equipped with a 24.6-inch floating surround curved screen as standard, and a built-in Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 flagship chip with strong performance, which brings great blessings to the smooth and silky operation of the Lion Zhiyun 5.0 system, which not only integrates mainstream ecological applications such as douyin, Toutiao, and Singba car KTV, but also is equipped with a deeply customized iFLYTEK intelligent voice interaction system, which can be seen and spoken.
At the same time, the iFLYTEK voice interaction system brings full-time wake-up voice interaction to the Xingtu C-DM, and the user can control the windows, air conditioning, etc. by issuing voice commands, so that users do not need to be distracted when driving, and can focus more on driving and road safety. In the upcoming hot summer, you can also use the mobile phone APP to remotely control the function and open the windows and air conditioning in advance to cool the car, so that you can enjoy a comfortable and pleasant temperature as soon as you get in the car.
On the other hand, Song Pro DM-i, which uses an 8.8-inch floating LCD instrument, is equipped with a 12.8-inch adaptive rotating suspension Pad, and the built-in Snapdragon 635 chip is slightly inferior to the Snapdragon 8155, and can also realize online navigation, online audio and video entertainment system, car karaoke entertainment system and many other functions.
