With the rapid development of the domestic new energy vehicle market, various plug-in hybrid and pure electric technologies have reached a new height. On this new runway, Chinese brand car companies are undoubtedly at the forefront, especially BYD, which has entered the game early and has become a leader in the field of new energy, and its earliest launch of "DM-i super hybrid" technology has achieved industry leadership in all aspects, and its products are popular and recognized by consumers. At the same time, there is also a domestic car company known for its "technology flow" - Chery, which has also been deeply engaged in the field of hybrid and electric vehicles for many years. So the question is, who is stronger of these two electric hybrid technologies?
To be sure, it's hard to judge which is better or worse in terms of technology, and perhaps products equipped with this technology have more say. The author intends to take the 120,000-level product as an example, respectively, from the two car companies to select a model with a similar positioning, Chery Xingtu C-DM and Song Pro DM-i These two cars are very comparable, and then compare from multiple dimensions in the field of appearance design, power performance, and intelligence, to see whose technology is more advanced and practical, and more suitable for becoming the first car for young families.
In terms of design innovation, the dynamic aesthetic design of Xingtu C-DM is more innovative
The main purpose of modeling design is the pursuit of innovation and transformation, and this is the charm of design. Chasing the wind C-DM super texture aesthetics is eye-catching. The front face of the new car has been newly designed, equipped with a borderless grille, and the interior is a diamond-shaped style, which shows a sense of refinement and freshness, and enhances the recognition of the vehicle. The side of the body also has both strength and beauty. The windows are perfectly integrated with the body lines, and the body waistline is the finishing touch, making the whole body look sporty. With the continuous taillights and square dual exhaust pipes at the rear of the body, it further reflects the sense of sportiness and refinement.
Not only the appearance, but also the new Emas streamlined interior inside the C-DM is simple, high-end and durable. The mid-to-high-end models are also equipped with functions such as integrated sports seats, multi-function steering wheel, electric adjustment for the driver, N95 antibacterial air conditioning filter, and AQS air quality monitoring, so that the interior of the car can always be kept fresh and comfortable, and truly "let luxury equalize".
Looking at the Song Pro DM-i, the styling completely follows the family design language, with a large trapezoidal front grille and chrome dotted line elements on the inside. On the side of the body, it has a multi-waistline design, and the roof shows a downward trend behind the B-pillar. The overall design of the rear of the car is full, and the current popular through-type taillights are adopted. The black scuff guard underneath enhances the vehicle's wildness. In terms of interior configuration, the Song Pro DM-i adopts a classic family-style design style, with a three-spoke multi-function steering wheel and a large central control screen that can be rotated as its signature design, and common functions such as car air purifier, keyless entry function, and automatic air conditioning are also standard.
In terms of power performance, the power reserve of Xingtu C-DM is deeper
Performance is the cornerstone of electric travel. 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 BYD Song Pro DM-i is relatively large due to its own characteristics, and the energy density is lower than that of ternary lithium batteries at the same weight, so the overall energy consumption of lithium iron phosphate batteries is higher.
Looking at the power reserve, the C-DM is equipped with a 1.5TCI plug-in hybrid special high-efficiency engine and dual motors, this combination can burst out with up to 240kW of power and 545N·m 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 maximum 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.
In terms of intelligent experience, Xingtu C-DM intelligent network connection is more forward-looking
The level of automobile intelligence is also the most concerned place for young people. In terms of intelligent configuration, C-DM is full of gold. The C-DM is equipped with a 24.6-inch floating surround curved screen as standard, with a built-in Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 flagship chip with powerful 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 C-DM, and the user can control the windows, air conditioning, etc. by issuing voice commands, so that users can focus more on driving and road safety without distraction when driving. 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.
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, but it can also realize online navigation, online audio and video entertainment system, car karaoke entertainment system and many other functions.
Compared with quality, Xingtu C-DM global quality can play better
As the first plug-in hybrid model to be launched in 2024, the C-DM is technically supported by Chery's technical background and the world's leading technology suppliers, and its vehicle parts are selected from the world's top technology alliances such as iFLYTEK, Bosch, Desay SV, Valeo, and Tianbao, and the product configuration is ultra-luxurious to ensure the quality of the vehicle.
The hybrid gearbox equipped with the C-DM is a special project of the "New Energy Vehicle" of the "13th Five-Year Plan" key research and development plan, with authoritative endorsement, and the ternary lithium battery equipped with aerospace anti-thermal vibration mica plate armor protection, has passed the battery crit test such as external fire, thermal diffusion test, mechanical impact test, bottom ball hit test, etc., with strong heat and cold resistance and higher safety level. In addition, Xingtu C-DM also has the functions of intelligent detection and replenishment, anti-power loss, intelligently protects the battery from damage, can prolong the service life of the battery, help users monitor the safety and health status of the battery at any time, and truly achieve anxiety-free travel.
Write at the end:
The C-DM has demonstrated excellent quality and powerful performance in various dimensions such as styling design, power performance, intelligent configuration and global quality control. This is the crystallization of Chery's insistence on positive research and development and continuous independent innovation. It can be said that in the field of 120,000-level electric hybrid SUV, C-DM is very competitive in terms of appearance and product strength, and it also prepares three major privileges for the first owner: lifetime vehicle warranty, lifetime free roadside assistance, lifetime free basic traffic, and a large number of car purchase rights and interests such as free charging piles at the beginning of the year, which directly fills the extraordinary product experience and value-for-money performance.
