It has to be said that in the new energy era, plug-in hybrid models are gradually becoming the mainstream.
According to the data of the Passenger Association, from January to October 2023, the retail sales of PHEV models in the new energy market will be close to 2 million, a year-on-year increase of 826%, much higher than the 192% growth. However, under such a market trend, consumers still have concerns about PHEV models, because they still have the problems of poor power loss performance and high energy consumption.
Now, the arrival of the all-new Accord e:PHEV has completely solved the pain points in the hearts of new energy users.
At the same time, it also brings us to think about the future: PHEV plug-in hybrids will be the future of B-segment cars.
Why do you say that?Today we're going to analyze the analysis.
There is no power, fast and stable, and the plug-in hybrid has to look at the new Accord
First of all, let's talk about how the new Accord e:PHEV completely solves the pain points of new energy users.
The all-new Accord e:PHEV is equipped with Honda's latest *** i-MMD plug-in hybrid system, and the engine part adopts a thermal efficiency of up to 41%.The 0L direct-injection Atkinson engine adopts a new dual-motor E-CVT gearbox for the transmission system, in which the drive motor adopts a balancer shaft structure design, and the torque output is increased by 20N·m compared with the previous one, reaching 335N·m, and equipped with 17The 7kWh battery pack can provide an all-electric range of 106km in the NEDC mode.
First of all, it is the technological advancement of the all-new Accord e:PHEV, which has the hard core power of "power without power, fast and stable". Specifically, even when there is no power, its acceleration performance is just as fast, and after professional testing, the 0-100km h acceleration score can be as low as 73 seconds, and in the case of running out of power, it only takes 74 seconds, even in Harbin with a temperature of 8 °, the acceleration of 100 kilometers only takes 762 seconds, which is faster than the official data, a proper "one-stop with and without electricity".
The second is the loss of fuel consumption that many users are concerned about, according to official data, the NEDC fuel consumption of the new Accord e:PHEV is as low as 40L 100km, the comprehensive range can exceed 1000km, but after actual measurement, the fuel consumption can even be as low as 34L 100km, this is completely "reverse false standard", and even someone drives the new Accord e:PHEV, just fill up a tank of fuel, across the whole 1012 kilometers of the Taklamakan Desert, the measured comprehensive fuel consumption is only 38l/100km。Therefore, the new Accord e:PHEV really solves the pain points of many new energy users.
In this case, the new Accord e:PHEV can also allow users to save money very much, according to the loss of electricity and fuel consumption of 40L 100km, plus No. 92 oil price, fuel consumption per kilometer is only about 3 cents. And if you have a home charging pile, it will be more saving, 106km pure electric battery life can already meet the daily travel of many people, for daily travel short distance users, you can even charge once a week, according to the slow charging price of 05 yuan calculation, each kilometer of electricity cost only 8 cents.
The new energy penetration rate of B-class sedans is nearly 3%, and the new Accord has successfully broken through the PHEV for the first time
Let's analyze why I would say that PHEV plug-in hybrids will be the future of B-segment cars.
As mentioned above, the growth rate of the PHEV market is very strong, but PHEV still has a very large room for growth, according to the data of the Passenger Association, the PHEV technology market accounts for only 32% of the entire new energy market8%, while for the overall automotive market, the penetration rate is 113%, it can be seen that PHEV still has a very large room for growth.
The B-class sedan market is a very large and important market segment, according to the data of the Passenger Association, from January to October 2023, the new energy penetration rate of the B-class sedan market is as high as 297%。At the same time, in the long run, the new energy of the B-class car market is an inevitable process, so the B-class car will inevitably begin to transform to new energy in the next year or two.
From the new Accord to join the plug-in hybrid camp, it can be seen that the future of the future B-class sedan market is plug-in hybrid, because the new Accord has been rising since the generation, with 15,338 units starting in September, and subsequent monthly sales have exceeded 170,000 units, from the market side proves the precise positioning of the new Accord.
Of course, there are several technical routes for the new energy transformation of B-class cars: PHEV, BEV, and range extender. However, judging from the current electrification scheme, plug-in hybrid is obviously a more advanced technology than range extender, because the range extender is a power bank, and the technical depth is not enough to support the pursuit of technology by B-class car users.
The all-new Accord e:PHEV is not the first B-class sedan to launch a plug-in hybrid, but it is definitely the most trustworthy, because the German, American, and French B-class cars have all launched plug-in hybrid versions, but basically no one cares. The all-new Accord e:PHEV is equipped with the *** i-MMD plug-in hybrid system, which is based on the world-renowned i-MMD comprehensive evolution, and the global sales have exceeded 4.5 million units, and the cumulative domestic sales of the Accord hybrid have exceeded 200,000 units, so the new Accord e:PHEV is already a mature, reliable, and excellent reputation product as soon as it is launched.
Therefore, in the entire B-class sedan market, whoever gives priority to providing more powerful technology will take the lead, and the more electrified B-class car market will have the top plug-in hybrid products to be the true B-class. At present, the new Accord has taken the lead in the transformation of the B-class sedan market, and those models that have not yet launched excellent plug-in hybrid technology have gradually fallen behind, and I believe that in the new round of involution next year, the new Accord will be very interesting.
