At the moment when the tide of new energy is sweeping, various brand manufacturers have launched models with "electricity", so Honda, which is very representative in the Japanese camp, has also brought plug-in hybrid products (PHEV) on the basis of ***i-MMD technology, among which Guangqi Honda plug-in hybrid twin star - Accord e:PHEV and Haoying e:PHEV have been highly recognized by consumers.
Recently, the author was invited to participate in the Guangqi Honda ** test drive activity with the theme of "The Road of Mountains and Rivers, Driving Fun in the Heart", and drove the Haoying e:PHEV Extreme Edition from the main city of Chongqing to and from Nanchuan Jinfoshan Scenic Area, through more than 200 kilometers of comprehensive road conditions, and had a more profound experience of the performance of the vehicle.
The reason why Haoying can become the sales pillar of Guangqi Honda is that "good looks" can definitely be regarded as one of the reasons. Haoying e:PHEV has further refined, handling all details more in place, and the proportions of each element are also very coordinated, and the vehicle looks like an urban "man".
In addition, because it is a plug-in hybrid model, it is easy to identify this as a plug-in hybrid model with a charging port at the left front fender, a "green card" and a unique logo on the tail mark.
In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the Haoying e:PHEV are 4716 1866 1681mm, and the wheelbase is 2701mm. Although positioned as a compact SUV, Honda's reputation as a "space magician" is not unfounded.
With the author's height of 1.8 meters, after adjusting the driver's seat, he sits in the second row, and the legroom is still more than two fists, and the headroom is more than one fist - it is believed that this kind of riding space can be easily grasped by most Chinese family car needs.
When driving at low speeds in urban areas, the E:PHEV mainly drives the vehicle electrically, and the power output is not sluggish at the moment when the accelerator pedal is pressed, and with the deepening of the accelerator, the Shadow e:PHEV has the same acceleration as the electric car.
It is worth mentioning that the Shadow e:PHEV is specially tuned for the motor output so that the occupants of the car do not feel dizzy, which is very friendly.
Driving on the highway, the engine involvement is minimal, and the engine noise is also suppressed relatively well, and the speed of 100kmh and then speeding up also has quite enough confidence, and there is no pressure to overtake in parallel under high-speed road conditions.
Thanks to the Haoying e:PHEV equipped with the *** i-MMD, the newly designed high-power e-CVT, and the dual-motor parallel shaft layout, the vehicle can burst out with a maximum output of 135kW and a peak torque of 335Nm.
In high-speed direct drive mode, the drive motor and engine work together to achieve a sustainable top speed of 177 km h, which is very easy to cope with daily overtaking.
In terms of handling, the Haoying e:PHEV has brought some surprises, mainly reflected in the steering feel of the steering wheel, whether it is driving at low speed or high speed, the steering wheel always has a slightly heavier steering force, and the connection with the front wheels can be clearly felt.
In short, it's stable at high speeds, accurate in mountain turns, and even a bit of a German car – an absolute plus for driving enthusiasts.
Finally, let's talk about energy consumption, because the vehicle can intelligently and seamlessly switch between the three driving modes of EV, hybrid, and direct engine drive, so as to achieve hybrid with and without electricity, and truly achieve "no oil and no worries".
As for the core of the hybrid system, it is undoubtedly the all-new 2The 0L Atkinson direct injection gasoline engine, combined with the dual-motor two-speed direct drive mode, has a fuel consumption of only 1 under the NEDC standard under comprehensive working conditions0L 100km, even in the state of feeding, the official fuel consumption is only 48l/100km。
Before the return trip, the author deliberately emptied the fuel consumption information. After 110 kilometers of comprehensive road driving, the actual fuel consumption is only 52L, which is not much different from the manufacturer's data - for everyday household consumers, the Haoying e:PHEV is undoubtedly a very economical SUV model.
With the blessing of hybrid technology, Honda's launch of the Haoying e:PHEV is completely homeopathic. In terms of space, handling and energy consumption, the car's performance can meet the needs of consumers, coupled with the high-value interior and exterior design, it can be said to have a strong competitiveness in its class.
So, if you're planning to buy a family plug-in hybrid SUV, the Haoying e:PHEV from Guangqi Honda is definitely worth paying attention to.
