For family users with long-distance needs, when driving a pure electric model to go out, especially during holidays, without exception will suffer from "battery life anxiety". In order to solve this pain point, hybrid models came into being. WEY launched the Mocha DHT-PHEV last year, but only a two-wheel drive model with a two-speed DHT was launched, and there was no four-wheel drive version. This year, Mocha ushered in a new upgrade, equipped with an electric four-wheel drive + four-speed gearbox, how will the new car perform? This issue is a test drive of the new Mocha Hi4 of the Wei brand.
【 · Test Drive Experience · 】
What is so special about the new Mocha Hi4? That must be a new combination of four-speed gearbox + Hi4. Equipped with a four-speed gearbox, the engine can cover more working conditions, ensure efficient power output, reduce fuel consumption, and focus on saving money. According to official data, the new car WLTC fuel consumption is 5.95L/100km, and compared with Lynk & Co 09 EM-P, Ideal L7 and other models, the data of the new Mocha Hi4 is still very bright.
When passing through bumpy road sections, the vibration is filtered in place, maintaining the road feeling while not causing physical discomfort. Although the vehicle is positioned as a mid-size SUV, it is relatively easy to get started even if it is driven by a girl. Overall, the driving texture of the new Mocha Hi4 is still more comfortable and more suitable for families.
After being equipped with Hi4 intelligent four-wheel drive electric hybrid technology, the vehicle can realize the intelligent switching of 9 modes, including pure electric rear-wheel drive, pure electric four-wheel drive, two-speed direct drive, gasoline-electric parallel two-wheel drive, and parallel four-wheel drive, according to the driver's driving action, driving conditions and road conditions. Priority is given to electricity consumption when driving in urban areas, and priority is given to oil consumption when driving at medium and high speeds.
The front axle motor has a maximum output of 80 kW and a maximum torque of 170 Nm, while the rear axle is equipped with a permanent magnet synchronous motor with a maximum output of 135 kW and a maximum torque of 350 Nm.
After the vehicle accelerates, the front and rear axle motors begin to work at the same time, at this time the vehicle power mode is dual-motor four-wheel drive, which can also be said to be equivalent to the pure electric model, the power is very abundant, the power output is also very linear, and the acceleration is relatively silky. The new Mocha Hi4 is equipped with CATL's 35.04 kW·h battery pack, and has a CLTC pure electric range of 200 km.
At this time, the maximum power is 350kW, the maximum torque is 760Nm, and the 0-100km/h acceleration time is 4.7s.
When the accelerator pedal is released, the vehicle recovers energy from the rear axle to recharge the battery and increase range. There are three modes of kinetic energy recovery, but when the kinetic energy recovery is set to be strong, the sense of drag of the vehicle is more obvious, and if it is easy to get motion sickness, it is more recommended to choose the standard mode.
At the same time, the new car is also equipped with Great Wall's "black technology" - iTVC intelligent torque vectoring control system. By analyzing the driver's power demand, vehicle speed, driving mode, road ramp, steering wheel angle, motor speed, yaw angle speed and other driver operation and vehicle status information, and fusing camera, radar and other road condition information, it intelligently identifies different vehicle use scenarios and carries out optimal torque distribution between the front and rear axles. In short, after this system is put on the car, it can cover more car use scenarios, so that the vehicle handling, escape and safety are improved, and the driving quality will be better.
And even if the kinetic energy mode is switched, there is no obvious shaking or vibration in the body when the engine is involved in the work.
In terms of intelligent driving system, the new Mocha Hi4 vehicle has 22 perception units, including 5 millimeter-wave radars, 12 ultrasonic radars, 1 ADAS camera and 4 surround view cameras. It can realize HWA highway driving assistance and NOH high-speed intelligent navigation assistance. In addition, functions such as intelligent lane change protection, intelligent entry and exit ramps, intelligent identification of easily mixed forks, and intelligent avoidance of intersection entrances can also be realized.
【 · Appearance · 】
In terms of appearance, the new Mocha Hi4 continues the appearance of the two-wheel drive model, adopting the family-style design of "natural new environment aesthetics". Compared with the old Mocha, the new design is more in line with the current new energy appearance style. Compared to the previous VV series models, it looks more refined.
【 · Interior · 】
The interior has not changed much compared to the current model, the design style is relatively simple and durable, although simple, but the material is still relatively comfortable and soft, and the visual effect and touch are good. Moreover, most of the interior materials of the new Mocha Hi4 are made of infant-grade materials, and the air in the car is relatively fresh, and there is not much "new car smell".
The voice system jointly developed with iFLYTEK has also been upgraded, adding a new anthropomorphic IP image of Xiao Wei 2.0, making the communication between people and vehicles more object and warmer. The new car supports HUAWEI HiCar 4.0, which is very convenient to operate and smooth.
【 · Summary · Since the Haval Thunder MAX is equipped with Hi4, Great Wall's models have gradually changed from lemon hybrid system to Hi4 intelligent four-wheel drive electric hybrid system, and the new Mocha Hi4 has also been upgraded from the previous 2-speed DHT to 4-speed Hi4, which is more fuel-efficient and more efficient than 2-gear. At the same time, the emergence of the new Mocha Hi4 also marks that the Wei brand has entered a comprehensive electric four-wheel drive era, the new car is about to be launched, the current two-wheel drive model guide price of 231,800 yuan, as the flagship masterpiece of the four-speed Hi4, how much do you think the price of the new Mocha Hi4 will make you excited? Let's discuss it in the comment section.
