In order to become popular in a short period of time, many new models will try to maintain a sense of mystery before they are launched, so as to arouse the curiosity of consumers as much as possible. The starting point is good, but as for whether you can grasp this degree, it is not necessarily, the time is too short and there is no gimmick, and it is easy for consumers to lose patience if the time is too long, and in the end there may be a situation where the wife is lost and the soldiers are broken. At present, the Roewe D5X DMH plug-in hybrid compact SUV seems to be a little impatient to wait, so long has passed, the car is still in a pre-sale state, from the initial expectation to the current helplessness, the most important thing for it seems to be to go on the market as soon as possible, at the same time, we also need to understand how the car's product strength is, to see if it makes sense to wait for such a long time.
As the first plug-in hybrid SUV of the Roewe D family, the birth of the Roewe D5X DMH has taken on the important task of enriching the model matrix, and also provides a very important reference for the next product layout. The model has launched a total of four configurations, the pre-sale price is between 119,800-146,800 yuan, and the price difference between each configuration is about 10,000 yuan. The moment I saw the Roewe D5X DMH, everyone was more convinced of this, the whole shape is still the inheritance of the family design language, but the identity of the SUV is there, and some details of the design will definitely be different. The overall theme is a calm atmosphere, not so many impressive designs, but it looks very comfortable.
Sitting in the car, you can feel that the Roewe D5X DMH is doing a good job on the face, at least it doesn't give people a sense of cheapness. Some areas are wrapped in a material similar to suede, which is embellished with stitching. Of course, the gear shift panel is still slightly cheaper, and the plastic feeling is relatively stronger. The overall sense of space is not bad, it is easy to immerse yourself in driving, and the whole system is equipped with a dual screen composed of two 12.3-inch screens as standard, and the black bezel around the screen is more obvious, and there is still some room for optimization on this.
Except for the entry-level, the rest of the configurations are equipped with rich technological functions, which belong to the mainstream level on the market, and the actual control experience is quite smooth. Considering the problem of practicality, some physical buttons are retained at the bottom of the screen, but I personally feel that the keys are not enough to be retained, and a few more commonly used functions can be added. Regarding the Roewe D5X DMH's driving space performance is not bad, you can refer to the Roewe eRX5 for details, which is more suitable as a daily family car.
This Roewe D5X DMH is claimed to be equipped with SAIC's strongest plug-in hybrid technology, so the power system has naturally become a highlight of it, equipped with a 1.5T engine, which is a typical P1+P3 dual-motor architecture with a higher degree of integration. After the efforts of all parties, it has abundant power output, and the official said that the acceleration of 100 kilometers has come to 6.9s, which has a more abundant power output than other plug-in hybrid power. The all-electric range is 105 km under WLTC mode, and the fuel consumption is 5.25 liters per 100 kilometers under the feeding state, taking into account both power output and fuel economy.
The actual handling experience is biased towards calm and comfortable, very close to a pure electric car, and you can immediately feel the abundant power output when you step on the accelerator deeply, and the power comes really directly. In the process of acceleration, the engine intervention is not very obvious, the chassis can effectively filter the bumpy vibration of the road, invisibly giving people a sense of heaviness, in the intelligent hybrid mode is basically based on electricity supplemented by oil. In addition, in the process of driving, it is also found that the human-computer interaction interface is slightly simple, and it is difficult to intuitively feel the state of the vehicle because it can neither see the energy flow nor set the power protection. In general, the Roewe D5X DMH is more suitable for users who have higher requirements for power output, coupled with a long cruising range, suitable for daily commuting at home.
Overall, the Roewe D5X DMH is a plug-in hybrid SUV with balanced product strength, and we can feel that the official has put a lot of effort into it. However, there are too many plug-in hybrid models with outstanding product power on the market, and they have already gained a firm foothold ahead of the Roewe D5X DMH, which has virtually added greater difficulty to its rise. So at the last moment, the Roewe D5X DMH is most likely to reduce the price, and the people-friendly price will also become one of its biggest highlights, in short, I hope the official will think twice, don't let consumers wait for so long into disappointment.
