According to the data, as of November this year, China is ahead of other global markets such as the European Union and the United States with a 40% penetration rate of new energy vehicles, of which plug-in hybrids account for more than one-third, and there is still a lot of room for growth. Behind this data, it also indicates that in 2024, China's new energy vehicle market is about to enter an era of continuous involution and super involution.
At the 2023 Chery Technology Day held in October this year, Chery Group brought a series of achievements of the "Yaoguang 2025 Strategy" and announced that it would bring 24 new super hybrids and 15 new E0X high-end electric products within two years. Among them, as a high-end brand of Chery Group, Xingtu Automobile recently brought the native hybrid technology of the M3X super-hybrid platform after bringing the first pure electric intelligent sedan Star Era ES to the market not long ago.
The optimal solution for hybridization is native
The M3X superhybrid platform released this time integrates Chery's 26 years of technology accumulation and global resources, and builds a global ultra-comfortable hybrid platform for the mid-to-high-end new energy market based on core technological advantages such as leading intelligent chassis, electronic and electrical architecture, and "new three parts". At the beginning of R&D, Xingtu Auto anchored the goal of "born global, higher than the world", and built it in accordance with the global market demand and the standard of luxury brands.
For example, for the special use of hybrid vehicles, Xingtu Auto has carried out tests on high heat, high humidity, high cold, and high efficiency performance in the world's most demanding automotive environments such as Brazil, Indonesia, the Middle East, Germany, and China, ensuring the stable and reliable technical quality of the same level. In addition, the waterproof performance of the whole vehicle is developed in accordance with the national standard 3 times, the waterproof of the battery pack reaches 48 times the national standard, and the battery and other systems of the vehicle meet the requirements of the ultra-wide operating temperature zone of "as low as -35 and as high as 60".
In addition, the M3X superhybrid platform is designed with the layout of the three-electric system in mind, and has a high degree of flexibility and scalability. The product matrix can cover SUV, MPV, SD and other variable models, including PHEV and REEV, and is compatible with ICE and other variable drive modes. At the same time, it can also be freely combined and changed between medium-sized and medium-large vehicles to meet the diversified and personalized development needs of users in the original hybrid era.
In terms of power architecture, the system will be adapted to the power form of "front-wheel drive dual-motor 3-speed and 4-wheel drive 3-motor", among which, dual-motor + 3-speed DHT technology has won the special certification of national new energy science and technology projects by virtue of its technical advantages such as 3-speed, 9-mode 11-speed, dual-motor drive and dual-shaft drive.
Leading the industry in terms of overall parameters, the system can achieve a maximum power of 165kW, a maximum input torque of 510N·m and an output torque of 4000N·m at the wheel end, and the transmission efficiency reaches 976%, 4WD 0Level 01s response.
It should be pointed out that the models born from the M3X superhybrid platform not only achieve high energy efficiency and safety, but also do not lag behind in terms of high performance. Among them, the 000 acceleration score of the front-wheel drive model can reach 79s, and 4 for electric four-wheel drive models26s。In terms of cruising range, it can achieve pure electric 168km (WLTC), comprehensive 1300km (WLTC), and 50% energy replenishment in 20 minutes of fast charging.
2024 sprint "343" sales structure
With the release of the M3X superhybrid platform, the first product based on the platform, Xingtu Yaoguang C-DM, is scheduled to be officially launched in the first quarter of next year. In order to further verify the strength of the native hybrid of the M3X super-hybrid platform, Xingtu Auto also launched the "Yaoguang C-DM 10,000 Crowd Test" plan.
It is understood that in the crowd testing plan, the first model of the platform, Yaoguang C-DM, will be used as the test object, and users from different industries and different car needs across the country, as well as first-class cross-border KOLs and other people, will be widely convened to temper the original quality of the M3X superhybrid platform "real gold is not afraid of fire" through inspection items covering extreme challenges, reliability tests, performance tests and other inspection items.
Since the beginning of this year, the market performance of Xingtu Automobile has continued to improve. It has achieved positive growth for 10 consecutive months, with sales exceeding 10,000 for 5 consecutive months. Total sales from January to November this year reached 111,352 units, a year-on-year increase of 1295%。At present, the average price of a bicycle is over 1720,000 yuan.
By 2024, as the competition in the hybrid vehicle market becomes more and more fierce, Xingtu Automobile will also accelerate the construction of the 445 product matrix and fully sound the clarion call to impact the new energy track. Huang Zhaogen, assistant general manager of Chery Automobile Co., Ltd. and general manager of Exeed Xingtu Marketing Center, said: "It is expected that in 2024, Xingtu is expected to achieve a 343 sales structure of 30% fuel + 40% hybrid + 30% pure electric. ”
It can be seen that the M3X super-hybrid platform launched by Xingtu Automobile this time has relied on its excellent technical strength, hoping to bring users the optimal technical solution in the hybrid era. According to the plan, after the launch of Yaoguang CD-M in the first quarter of next year, Xingtu Automobile will also launch a series of hybrid models around the M3X super-hybrid platform, using advanced native hybrid technology to fundamentally change the competitive landscape of the plug-in hybrid market.
