The oil prices that have only risen in recent years have undoubtedly increased the cost of driving for fuel-powered car owners. Some car owners have reported that it costs thousands to burn oil every month. Therefore, new energy models with lower driving costs are now available. At this time it received more attention. Among them, hybrid models have become the new choice of many friends due to their advantages of no battery life anxiety and no charging worries.
However, hybrid models are more expensive than fuel models of the same level. So if you have a budget of about 100,000, can you buy a hybrid car? In line with the principle of "Wuling will build whatever the people need", Wuling Motors has launched a relatively affordable hybrid model - Wuling Xingchen Hybrid Edition. There are two models with different configurations. Official guidance The prices are 99,800 and 109,800 respectively.
Today we will take the 2022 Wuling Xingchen 2.0L DHT electric model priced at 109,800 as an example (hereinafter referred to as the Wuling Xingchen hybrid version). Let’s analyze it from multiple angles and take a look at this How is the performance of this car? Is it worth buying?
Basic vehicle information:
1. The appearance of the vehicle is still online. The front face adopts an inverted trapezoidal air intake grille design, and the interior is decorated with blackened chrome elements. , adding a sense of sophistication. In order to highlight the identity of the hybrid model, the HEV logo is added to the rear of the car to make it more recognizable.
2. In terms of body size, the length, width and height are 4594x1820x1740mm, and the wheelbase is 2750mm. It is positioned as a compact SUV.
3. The interior adopts a relatively classic "T"-shaped layout, with reasonable distribution of functional areas and easy operation.
The center console is equipped with a 10.25-inch large screen, built-in the Ling OS system independently developed by the Wuling family, which supports online navigation, voice interaction, car networking and OTA upgrade functions, and has a certain degree of entertainment and Practicality.
4. In terms of configuration, the vehicle is equipped with body stabilization system, tire pressure display, rear reversing radar, 360-degree panoramic image, cruise control, electronic handbrake, automatic parking, uphill assist and other configurations. Although It can’t be said to have rich configurations, but fortunately they are all relatively practical configurations that can meet daily car needs.
Take the 360-degree panoramic image as an example. It can well observe the situation around the vehicle, makes reversing and parking more convenient, and is more friendly to novice friends.
5. In terms of space, taking the experiencer’s height of 176cm as an example, there is more than a fistful of headroom when sitting in the front row. In addition, the front seat (main driver’s seat) supports electric adjustment. Overall it's quite comfortable.
When the experiencer comes to sit in the rear seat, there is still about two punches of legroom and more than one punch of headroom. In addition, the rear seats also support the backrest angle. Adjustment allows rear passengers to find a more comfortable sitting position, further improving ride comfort.
After reading the basic information about the vehicle, let’s focus on how the hybrid system of this vehicle performs?
In terms of power, the Wuling Xingchen Hybrid Edition adopts a gasoline-electric hybrid mode (HEV). The entire hybrid system consists of a 2.0L Atkinson hybrid-specific engine + motor + hybrid-specific DHT + high-power battery pack.
The engine has a maximum power of 100 kilowatts and a maximum torque of 175 N·m; the motor has a maximum power of 130 kW and a total torque of 320 N·m. The transmission is matched with Wuling’s unique single gear. Electromagnetic DHT gearbox. The official WLTC comprehensive fuel consumption is 5.7L/100km, which is more fuel efficient than the regular fuel version’s fuel consumption of 7.1L per 100 kilometers.
In actual experience, the Wuling Xingchen hybrid version gives people a "steady" feeling. Thanks to the drive of the motor, the power feedback is relatively positive, unlike the turbine which requires a little time to intervene. When driving at low speeds, it is almost like driving a pure electric car. It starts relatively briskly, shifts smoothly, and is generally more comfortable. However, after the speed exceeds 80km/h, the power feedback is weak, the engine sound is relatively loud, and the engine's intervention can be clearly felt.
In fact, this is directly related to Wuling Xingchen’s hybrid working mode. This hybrid system has four different driving modes: pure electric, series, parallel and engine direct drive.
When the battery is sufficient, it is basically pure electric drive at low speeds, and the engine does not participate in the work; when the vehicle speed is lower than 80km/h in urban cruising state, the engine only generates electricity, the motor drives the wheels, and the excess energy is stored in the battery; acceleration is required When overtaking, the engine and battery will be discharged at the same time, allowing the motor to release maximum power to complete the overtaking acceleration action; when the vehicle speed exceeds 80km/h, the engine will be directly driven.
Written at the end:
Overall, the Wuling Xingchen hybrid model has a relatively young appearance, the interior style is simple and elegant, and it has a certain sense of technology and space. Meet family car needs. In addition, with the blessing of hybrid technology, it is more fuel-efficient and energy-saving than ordinary fuel models, and the cost of driving will be further reduced. Finally, judging from the price of 109,800, it is indeed not expensive. It will be a good choice for friends with a small budget.
