Qin L has been on the market for a while, and the popularity of this car has also dropped a lot.
Therefore, there can be a more rational judgment on this car, and the current controversy about this car is three points, fuel tank, fuel consumption and positioning.
01 65L fuel tank
There have always been doubts about the fuel tank of Qin L, why should the hybrid model be equipped with a large 65L fuel tank, what is the significance?
The 65L large fuel tank does not have much significance, but for some user groups who are not good at refueling, or often travel over long distances, the significance of the 65L large fuel tank is that it can reduce the number of times to go to the gas station and get rid of the shackles of the gas station in a certain sense.
In the market east of the population demarcation line, gas stations can indeed be 3 km each, but in the sparsely populated western region, especially in the areas west of Jiayuguan and Yumen Pass, there is often a gas station at intervals of dozens of kilometers.
Tell me a real thing.
In 2017, we drove from Yumen Pass, and the PM 2.5 soared all the way to more than 400, and the sand and dust were flying, and even when the door was closed, we could still smell the dust.
Because of the problem of high fuel consumption and small fuel tank of driving vehicles, it is very difficult to get out of the car to refuel every time, if there is a huge fuel tank, in the scene at that time, you can do the whole road without refueling.
Therefore, the significance of the large fuel tank is very important for a small group of users, and of course it must not be used for more people.
But as a car, it must serve more user groups with more needs, and the perception of the 65L large fuel tank is that I think the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
02 About fuel consumption
The 2.9L CLTC fuel consumption has no reference meaning, because more people can only drive about 3.5L-5L fuel consumption.
We bought the Taiqin L, the 120km version, and the current fuel consumption is about 3.5L-4L for urban driving and about 5L for high-speed driving.
Among them, the high-speed scene is a very pure high-speed running, running against the speed limit of 100km/h or 120km/h, which means that the ultimate fuel consumption of Qin L is about 5L.
In a sense, fuel consumption is already very low. After all, the cost of use in extreme car conditions is less than 40 yuan for 100 kilometers.
What's more, in more scenarios, it can be driven purely electrically, or the fuel consumption is only more than 3L, which is already very strong from the perspective of fuel vehicles.
03 Is it a mid-level car?
It is clear that it is not a mid-level car, or that there is no spatial performance of a traditional mid-level car.
The size of the intermediate cars in the era of fuel vehicles is very large, the size of Accord, Teana, and Camry is about 4.9 meters, and the structure of the fuel vehicle is that the front end is equipped with an engine and gearbox, and the rear end is equipped with a fuel tank, which gives the passenger compartment a relatively large space.
However, the size of products in the era of electrification is generally larger, because the battery pack needs to be designed, Xiaomi SU7 is a 5-meter car, the rear space is very unbearable, but the length has reached the size of an intermediate car, but there is no spaciousness and comfort of an intermediate car at all.
Qin L has a reason, although the size has reached 4.8 meters, but in the era of fuel vehicles, the interior space is only B-level, plus the height of the floor itself, the overall comfort is actually not good, at least compared with the intermediate car, there is still a certain gap.
In other words, the Qin L is still a very pure compact sedan, and space and comfort are not its strengths.
Summary:
So what are the advantages of Qin L?
It is to use 100,000-130,000 yuan to buy a hybrid car with a reasonable size, with a pure electric battery life of not short, low fuel consumption, intelligent performance and comfort.
It cuts the market segment of traditional fuel vehicles, and from the perspective of traditional fuel vehicles, Qin L does perform well. But to add, hybrid models in this class are very strong.
