Rookie and old gun! Who is ＂both inside and outside＂, Dongfeng Nano 06 or BYD Yuan PLUS？
[car home Performance Test] For many home users, although buying new energy vehicles can avoid the troubles of purchase restriction, due to the lack of charging conditions, it will be more or less inconvenient to use them later, especially in the case of long-distance running, and it is necessary to plan the route in detail in advance. For plug-in hybrid vehicles, this series of troubles may be alleviated a lot. The car I brought to you today is the Buick (|) plug-in hybrid model that Buick listed at this year’s Chengdu Auto Show.
● Review of exterior interior:
Previously, my colleagues had a field test drive on this new car model, and the exterior and interior of this car are basically the same as the pure electric version of the micro blue 6, so in this article, we only make a simple review of the exterior and interior of the vehicle and the space of the vehicle. First of all, let’s talk about the appearance design. The overall appearance design of the vehicle is no different from that of the pure electric version. The difference is that the middle net of the plug-in hybrid version has been changed to an open design, rather than a fully enclosed shape like a pure electric vehicle.
● Space experience
The experiencer is 173cm tall and enters the front row of the vehicle in a standard sitting position. At this time, the head space has one punch and two fingers, and the knee space in the second row has more than two punches, but the head space in the back row is not enough.
● Storage space
The storage space before and after is quite satisfactory, and there is no surprising configuration, but in general it is very sufficient. Although there is no popular design of hollowing out the bottom of the handlebar seat to make storage space, there is a storage compartment next to the passenger seat, which can hold some small things.
The performance of the trunk space of the vehicle is satisfactory. Under normal conditions, we can put down our three experience boxes, and there is no problem for daily use. The second row of seats can be laid down at a ratio of 4/6, and a flat space can be formed, which is not a problem to deal with some big items occasionally. At the same time, the equipped electric tailgate also provides enough convenience for daily use.
● Power system
The plug-in hybrid vehicle is equipped with a 1.5L four-cylinder naturally aspirated engine and two motors. The total power of the system is 135 kW and the comprehensive torque is 380 Nm. In terms of battery, the vehicle uses a ternary lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 9.5kWh. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology announced that the cruising range of pure electricity reaches 60km, and it takes 2.6 hours to charge slowly.
As for the E-CVT gearbox, it contains two permanent magnet synchronous motors, which can be used to drive or generate electricity independently. Among them, power split technology can provide two power split modes of high speed and low speed and more than 10 working modes. For the highlights of this brand-new eMotion electric drive technology, please refer to this article: "SAIC-GM announces the highlights of new eMotion electric drive technology"..
The vehicle adopts three driving modes (normal/sport/power conservation). Press the Hold key to keep the power as much as possible, and then start to use the power when it is needed (for example, in traffic jams). However, compared with many models, the engine can be used to charge the vehicle, and the power conservation mode of Micro Blue 6 can only maintain the current power.
● Power experience
When the vehicle is fully charged and in normal mode, it will give priority to electric drive. At this time, the driving experience of the vehicle is very similar to that of ordinary pure electric vehicles, and even if the throttle is relatively large, the engine will not easily intervene. When stepping on the accelerator pedal, the feeling of vehicle acceleration is very smooth and natural, and the whole is comfortable, and there will be no dizziness caused by the instantaneous force of many electric vehicles.
The dynamic response of the vehicle is also satisfactory, and the middle and rear sections can also have certain acceleration ability. After switching to sports mode, the response speed of the accelerator pedal becomes faster and the power output is more positive. In terms of braking, the vehicle doesn’t use the single pedal logic of pure electric vehicle, so it won’t have a very strong drag feeling when receiving oil or stepping on the brake. Generally speaking, its power performance is still very mature, but it is not without any faults to pick. Perhaps it left a good impression on people in the pure electric mode at first. Once the vehicle entered the low-electric mode, the engine began to intervene. At this time, although the whole driving experience is not much different, the noise of the engine will still be obviously transmitted into the vehicle, which will affect it.
● Accelerated testing
The official acceleration of 0-100km/h is 8.6 seconds, and the actual test results are satisfactory. Finally, the acceleration of 0-100km/h is 8.25 seconds, which is quite good compared with pure electric vehicles or competing vehicles.
● Pure battery life test:
In the energy consumption test, we tested its pure electric cruising range at an average speed of 30km/h, and turned on the air conditioner all the way, with automatic air volume and temperature of 24. In the end, we measured that the pure electric cruising range of the vehicle was 70km, which was longer than the official mark. After entering the low-power mode, we continued to test the fuel consumption.
● Low power consumption: 4.7L/100km
Next, let’s take a look at the fuel consumption performance of the car under the condition of low battery. After the vehicle automatically enters the hybrid mode, we keep the original settings and continue driving. Compared with the pure electric mode, although the low electric mode can also recover some electric energy and use it at the start, it mainly relies on the power of the engine to drive the vehicle, and will bring some vibration and sound, which is not as quiet and comfortable as the pure electric mode. In the end, we drove another 102 kilometers and consumed 4.84L of fuel, which translates into a low-power fuel consumption of 4.7L. If the pure battery life is counted, the comprehensive fuel consumption of Micro Blue 6 is 3.6L.
● Chassis structure+driving experience
The suspension structure is no different from the pure electric vehicle, and it is the configuration of front McPherson+rear multi-link. From the picture, we can see that the battery under the chassis of the original pure electric vehicle is no longer there, but moved below the trunk.
The chassis adjustment of the vehicle is not very soft, but some European cars are solid and tough. When passing through uneven roads, the comfort performance is remarkable. When passing through some potholes at high speed, although there will be bouncing, the vehicle can restrain the body and ensure the stability of high-speed driving. In terms of handling, the steering feel is neutral, which is suitable for most drivers. The performance of road feeling is not sufficient, but the performance of directivity is good, and it is flexible enough when driving in urban areas.
● Brake test
In the braking test, the posture of the vehicle leaning forward is still obvious, but fortunately, the rear wheel can pull the body in time. The braking distance of 42.03 meters at 100-0km/h can only be said to be quite satisfactory. Judging from the results of several groups of brake tests, after many times of full braking, the whole braking distance has not increased very much. The brake foot feels very feedback and the strength is easy to control.
● Noise test
Finally, the noise test shows that the quiet performance of the vehicle at medium speed cruising is still acceptable, and subjectively, there is not much noise introduced into the vehicle. With the increase of vehicle speed, the noise will become more obvious after the engine is involved, which reflects the sense of advanced vehicle.
Summary:
As a new energy vehicle, the launch of Buick Micro Blue 6 plug-in hybrid version enriches the original product line, giving consumers who are worried about battery life another practical choice. The vehicle design is not much different from the pure electric version, and it still maintains the unique shape of new energy vehicles. The performance in configuration is quite satisfactory, and the power performance is still worthy of recognition. The driving experience under the condition of electricity is very good, and overtaking at medium and high speeds can also give drivers enough confidence. The overall performance of the chassis and steering feel is in line with home use, which is comfortable enough, but the noise performance in low-power situations is relatively general. Compared with some competitors of the same level, it has a quite good pure electric cruising range, and it is a good choice for consumers in many cities with limited purchases or restrictions.
