Today, unlike in the past, the mainstream consumption of the auto market has gradually changed from fuel vehicles to new energy vehicles such as plug-in hybrids, range extenders, and pure electric vehicles. In my opinion, it is more reassuring to choose plug-in hybrid models in the current environment, after all, the convenience of refueling can go, which is much stronger than charging, and thanks to the series and parallel design of multiple working conditions, there is a good fuel economy in various working conditions, and if you take into account both, it is tantamount to a "double insurance". So today, I've got a brand new plug-in hybrid compact SUV for you to see if you'll like it.
The model selected in this issue is the Roewe D5X DMH, the new car has now opened pre-sale, priced at 119,800-146,800 yuan, a total of 4 models to choose from, all equipped with a 21.4kWh battery pack, CLTC working conditions pure electric range of 135 kilometers. In terms of price, as a compact plug-in hybrid SUV with a body length of 4.7 meters, the price of the new car is not expensive, after all, in its price range, there is BYD Song PLUS DM-i "hard carrying", in addition, the car is also based on the power needs of the domestic mainstream car scene, the whole system is equipped with a 1.5T hybrid engine, and the power performance has better performance in the scenario of rapid acceleration or high-speed cruise request re-acceleration.
In terms of design, the Roewe D5X DMH adopts the closed front face design of new energy vehicles, its size looks flat and wide, and the LED headlights have a smooth shape, which can be accepted by the public's aesthetics. In contrast, the lines on the side of the body are also very smooth, and the hidden door handles add to the stylish sense of the whole vehicle, which may be easier to attract some young consumers. The design of the rear of the car also maintains a smooth style, and the through-type LED taillights should be liked by both male and female users.
In terms of body size, the performance of this car is also in line with expectations, with a length of 4.7 meters and a wheelbase of 2765 mm, except for the length of the car is slightly shorter than the Song PLUS DM-i 75 mm, the other size data are very similar, and it is also a family scooter with a space advantage. Judging from my height, the front seats are fixed in a normal sitting position, the second row has plenty of longitudinal legroom, and there is no hair sweeping feeling on the top of my head. It's just that the length of the cushion is average, and it would be better if it could be longer.
The design of the interior is relatively simple, although the layout of the dual screen is somewhat traditional, but the functional configuration that should be there are all there, such as voice recognition control, Bluetooth phone, GPS navigation, etc., plus the UI interface is clear and easy to read, so it is still relatively convenient to use. But unfortunately, this car does not provide an app store function, so it is impossible to download and install third-party applications on the original machine, so I have to look forward to OTA upgrades in the future. In terms of materials, the center console uses a large area of slush molding material, the central tunnel is silver-gray trim with a metallic luster, and the beige door panel interior is matched, and the sense of grade is not bad.
In terms of power, the Roewe D5X DMH is equipped with the fourth-generation DMH super hybrid technology, compared with the Roewe D7 DMH, the most important upgrade is that the engine is upgraded from naturally aspirated to turbocharged, and the power reserve is more solid in the face of re-acceleration requests under rapid acceleration or high-speed cruising conditions, and the official 000 acceleration time is 6 seconds 9. The matching transmission system is a 2-speed DHT gearbox, which is different from a single-speed DHT gearbox, and can choose a precise power mode under different working conditions, when a large power is needed, the gear is switched to a high-speed ratio, and when it is necessary to ensure economy and smoothness, the gear is switched to a low speed ratio. It is worth mentioning here that in Sport mode, the car's dynamic coherence is also very good, and the presence of the engine is almost imperceptible. In terms of range, this car is equipped with a pure electric range of 135 kilometers as standard, and the comprehensive range under CLTC working conditions can reach 1,300 kilometers under full fuel conditions.
Editor's review
It is not difficult to see that the Roewe D5X does have a unique side in terms of power performance, and it also has a relatively balanced performance in terms of space comfort and intelligent configuration. In addition, although the new car has average performance in terms of comprehensive configuration, it also has certain advantages in long-distance travel or short-distance car use scenarios by relying on high fuel economy and long endurance. Combined with the pre-sale price of 119,800 yuan, the new car is more cost-effective, what do you think?
