Oil price welcomes 9 yuan era, this year’s listing saves money, inventory of hybrid cars.

　　[car home Information] The oil price is about to usher in the "9 yuan" era, and friends around us have begun to succumb and want to change to a more economical car. Unfortunately, not only the oil price has gone up, but also the price of electric vehicles. Tesla and BYD have just announced price adjustments. In the era of high oil prices, hybrid models seem to be an ideal transition choice. Just last year, many car companies also released their own hybrid models. Today, let’s take a look at those hybrid models that have been listed this year and will be listed within 200,000 yuan to help you find more economical cars.

　　Many consumers have very high requirements for cars, which require both strong power, money saving and large space. In the past, for pure fuel vehicles, it was very difficult to achieve strong power, large space and fuel economy, because it was a contradiction in itself. Strong power requires large displacement, and it is impossible to save fuel with large displacement. However, the arrival of new energy technologies has perfectly solved these contradictions.

　　At present, there are three main types of hybrid models on the market, namely, hybrid electric vehicle, plug-in hybrid vehicle and extended-range hybrid vehicle. These three types will be included in the models to be recommended today. The battery of hybrid electric vehicle is small, which mainly depends on pure electric drive at low speed to save fuel. It does not need to be charged separately, and the price of new vehicle is easy to accept, but in terms of fuel economy, it is only slightly lower than that of ordinary fuel vehicle.

　　Plug-in hybrid vehicles, compared with ordinary hybrid vehicles, have larger batteries, so they will have better performance in fuel economy. Because it not only works in pure electricity at the starting state, but can completely choose EV pure electricity mode. In this way, pure electric commuting is not a dream in the road sections with more traffic lights in the city. If the daily commuting distance is within a reasonable range, you can basically commute by pure electricity, so in this way, the fuel consumption is actually zero. However, plug-in hybrid vehicles need to be charged separately to give full play to its advantages. If there is no charging pile at home, it will cost some time.

　　The extended-range hybrid model is an electric vehicle that does not need to be charged. The engine mainly charges the battery or supplies the generator. Although the fuel consumption is not lower than that of the plug-in hybrid model, it is lower than that of the oil-electric hybrid model, and it also saves the trouble of charging. Next, let’s take a look at the money-saving hybrid models that will be listed within 200,000 yuan this year.

　● BYD destroyer 05

　　BYD is gradually forming a series of marine life mainly equipped with E platform 3.0 pure electricity and a series of warships mainly equipped with DM-i plug-in hybrid technology. The destroyer 05 will be the first model of the warship series, and it will be positioned as a compact car. Its model size is 4780/1837/1495mm, and its wheelbase is 2718mm, which is basically the same as that of Qin PLUS DM-i, and its positioning will also form a complementary relationship with Qin PLUS DM-I. The car is equipped with an 8.8-inch full LCD instrument and a 15.6-inch floating multimedia touch screen.

　　The sales of BYD DM-i are booming in 2021, which has a lot to do with BYD’s strategic change. BYD plug-in hybrid models have been sold in the market for many years, and the early publicity point is its powerful power, even the acceleration time of 0-100km/h will be marked at the rear of the car. Last year, BYD changed its thinking and launched a number of DM-i models focusing on fuel-saving routes. After years of deep cultivation in the plug-in hybrid vehicle market and pure electric market, BYD DM-i models were quickly recognized by consumers.

　　Compared with the past DM-p models, the DM-i model engine is mainly a naturally aspirated small displacement engine, which increases the cruising range in pure electric mode and makes the comprehensive fuel consumption lower. Although the power is reduced, it is still at an excellent level in ordinary models.

　　BYD Destroyer 05 is equipped with Xiaoyun-Plug-in special 1.5L engine, which adopts Atkinson cycle working mode and ultra-high compression ratio of 15.5:1. It is a fuel-saving engine. Compared with ordinary engines, it simplifies the engine structure, improves the reliability and makes the power more efficient. On the motor, EHS electromechanical coupling unit adopts double motor design, including driving motor and generator. At medium and low speeds, the motor is mainly used to drive the vehicle, and at high speeds, the engine is used to directly drive the vehicle, and the driving motor is used as power assistance. In addition, the battery is equipped with Ferrous lithium phosphate’s blade battery, which has higher energy density and smaller volume, reducing the occupation of vehicle space.

　● Geely Xingyue L Raytheon Hi·X Hybrid Edition

　　At the end of last year, Geely Xingyue L Raytheon Hi·X hybrid version officially announced the pre-sale price, and the pre-sale price of the new car was 173,700 yuan, which was positioned as a compact SUV. This is a hybrid model based on the Star Yue L model, which is different from the fuel version of Star Yue L in appearance design, mainly reflected in the design of the front grille. In the interior design, the three screens in the car are the biggest highlights, and the use of large-area suede leather fabrics shows the luxury inside the car.

　　Xingyue L Raytheon Hi·X hybrid version is equipped with a 1.5T three-cylinder engine code-named DHE15. The three-cylinder engine is smaller, which helps to reduce the volume of the whole hybrid system. For the working conditions where the three-cylinder engine is prone to jitter, such as starting, the system can be driven by a motor to avoid poor working areas. The temperature of compression and combustion process of Miller cycle engine is lower, thus reducing heat transfer loss and saving fuel.

　　With the appearance of DHT Pro, Geely hybrid system entered the era of dual motors. Of course, not all the double motors are used to drive the vehicle. The P1 motor is connected with the engine and mainly used to generate electricity, and the P2 motor is responsible for driving the vehicle. Geely has integrated a 3-speed transmission in the P2 drive motor of DHT Pro, which has more gears than ordinary models, and theoretically accelerates more smoothly, so the engine has more chances to be in an efficient working area.

　　Xingyue L Raytheon Hi·X hybrid version of the ternary lithium battery pack has a capacity of about 1.8kWh, and the battery pack is located in the channel in the middle of the seat. Compared with the strategy of putting the battery pack under the seat in mainstream hybrid models, this method has less impact on the space of riding and storage, giving consideration to practical performance.

　　In terms of parameters, Xingyue L Raytheon Hi·X hybrid version is equipped with a hybrid power system consisting of a 1.5T three-cylinder engine. The maximum power of the engine is 150 HP and the peak torque is 225 Nm. The transmission system adopts a 3-speed electric drive gearbox (DHT Pro). The thermal efficiency of the engine is 43.32%, the fuel saving rate is 40%, the maximum endurance is 1300km with full oil, the acceleration time from 0 to 100 km/h is 7.9 seconds, and the comprehensive fuel consumption is 4.3L/100km.

　● Nissan hacker e-POWER

　　After Nissan Sylphy e-POWER, a new generation of hackers will also bring e-POWER models and position compact SUVs. The appearance style of the new hackers is similar to that of the current Qijun, and the new cars look more sporty and flamboyant than the current models. In the interior, the overall design is layered, and the suspended central control panel and full LCD instrument are equipped.

　　E-POWER can be understood as an extended-range hybrid power system equipped with a small-capacity battery. It is an electric vehicle without charging. It is structurally composed of an engine, a generator and a drive motor. The engine is an extended-range generator, which only drives the generator to generate electricity. The generated electric energy will be stored in the battery or directly used as the energy input of the drive motor according to the vehicle working conditions.

　　E-POWER system has a simple structure and no complicated coupling device, which is beneficial to miniaturization and lightweight and is presented in series. In terms of working mode, under low load, the energy of driving motor is completely provided by battery, and the driving mode of vehicle is the same as that of pure electric vehicle. With the increase of vehicle driving load, the output power of the battery can’t meet the demand of the motor. At this time, the engine starts to drive the generator to generate electricity to meet the demand of the motor for electric energy. When the battery power is low, the engine will also start to drive the generator to generate electricity. Part of the generated electricity will be sent to the motor to drive the wheels, and the other part will charge the battery to ensure that the battery power is at an appropriate level.

There are no parameters for fuel consumption. At present, the comprehensive fuel consumption of Sylphy e-POWER is 3.9L.

　● Edit Comment:

　　Consumers should still decide which model to choose according to their own situation, for example, it is inconvenient to charge, or don’t consider plug-in hybrid vehicles. Hybrid models are more suitable for commuting in cities with congested road conditions. In addition to saving fuel and money, they can also bring you a better driving experience and a smoother feeling on the stop-and-go road. I believe that in 2022, it may be a new year for hybrid vehicles, and oil prices will promote the change of historical wheels, which is similar to the process of Japanese cars knocking on the door of the United States.
