Nowadays, consumers' demand for cars is increasing day by day, compact cars have become more and more unsatisfied, and intermediate cars, fuel-efficient, and strong comprehensive performance are more optimistic. The medium-sized sedan of about 200,000 yuan has become the first choice for many families with its comfortable and spacious space performance and excellent energy consumption. And with the increasing demand of consumers for environmental protection, energy saving and intelligence, plug-in hybrid (PHEV) models are attracting the attention of consumers at present. In this market, several mid-size sedans from joint ventures and domestic brands are popular, namely the all-new Insperia T e:PHEV and BYD Han DM-i. So who is better? It's worth a look.
The new generation of Inspie covers both plug-in hybrid and pure fuel markets, and is available in two versions, the E:PHEV and the Insperia T-Engine, bringing consumers a variety of choices. There are quite a few users who have 1The 5T version is praised for its powerful power and excellent handling. But in this era of new energy, it is natural to pay attention to the new Inspie e:PHEV model. In 2012, Honda's first-generation i-MMD system was released, and in the following 10 years, it went through four iterations, and in 2022, the **i-MMD hybrid technology was released. Unlike the previous three generations of technology versions, it uses 2The 0-liter Atkinson cycle in-cylinder direct injection engine has a thermal efficiency of 41%, and all components have been further downsized and lightweight. The working principle of BYD Han DM-i hybrid system is relatively close to that of Yingshipai e:PHEV, but it should be noted that this working mode is more complex, and the technical requirements for the engine and motor are relatively high.
Of course, the strength of each company is obvious to all, and the most important thing is to see the real test. In the test drive test in southern Xinjiang some time ago, the E:PHEV measured a comprehensive cruising range of 1235 under the complex road conditions of full fuel and battery and the temperature close to 0 degrees6km, exceeding the official standard value of 963km as much as 283%；Pure electric battery life measured 1141km, which is also 39% higher than the official standard of 82km; Fuel consumption of feed is measured to be 32L 100km, 34 lower than the official standard4%, which can be described as a big reverse false standard. In comparison, the official standard feed fuel consumption of the BYD Han DM-i is 51L 100km, the measured data is 55L 100km, slightly higher, but 0.The difference of 4L is actually not significant, and both cars perform very well.
The BYD Han DM-i is equipped with the Snapcloud Turbo 15T high-efficiency engine, its thermal efficiency reaches 4012%, the maximum power is 102kW, the peak torque is 231N·m, the maximum power of the motor is 160kW, the peak torque is 325N·m, and the WLTC comprehensive fuel consumption is 171l 100 km. The measured acceleration time of 0 to 60km h is 423s, Inspie e:PHEV equipped with 2The 0L engine has a maximum power of 109kW and a peak torque of 182N·m, and the drive motor has a maximum power of 135kW and a peak torque of 335N·m, and the measured acceleration time of 0 60km h is 376s, WLTC combined fuel consumption of 154l/100km。From the comparison, it can be seen that the acceleration ability and energy-saving performance of the Inspie e:PHEV surpass that of the BYD Han DM-i, which is also the hard power brought by the electric drive hybrid technology that it has cultivated for many years.
Dongfeng Honda's first-of-its-kind engine direct connection mode is more economical than that of extended-range hybrid under high-speed working conditions with high power consumption and low fuel consumption. To put it simply, in the most power-intensive high-speed cruising road conditions of electric drive, it will automatically switch to engine mode when running with oil, if the engine has spare power at this time, it will divide a little force to generate electricity, and when the battery power is surplus, it will switch to electric drive and run for a while, and then enter the engine mode, so reciprocating, intelligent switching, this is a truly "smart" hybrid system.
In terms of chassis tuning, the Inspie e:PHEV is equipped with a front MacPherson and rear multi-link independent suspension, providing an ADS adjustable suspension system, and the driver can automatically adjust the hardness of the shock absorber, which is generally only used in luxury models, which can also be seen the sincerity of the Inspie plug-in hybrid version. Elements such as a sturdy lower swing arm are used. When driving at high speeds, the attitude is stable and the texture is comfortable, taking into account both sport and comfort. Han DM-i is also equipped with front MacPherson and rear multi-link independent suspension, but it uses a four-link rear suspension, and the structural parts are relatively slender.
In terms of intelligent driving assistance configuration, the Inspie plug-in hybrid version is equipped with Honda Sensing 360 driving assistance system, the whole car is equipped with 5 millimeter-wave radars, lane departure warning, active braking, fatigue driving reminder, reversing side warning system, parallel assist, lane keeping and other functions are standard for all models. In addition, the newly upgraded Honda Connect 40, real-time monitoring of vehicle status and remote control of multiple functions can be carried out through the mobile phone APP. Equipped with iFLYTEK voice recognition technology, it has smooth human-computer interaction capabilities and adds multiple scenarios without wake-up words.
Summary: Judging from the above analysis, the new generation of Inspie e:PHEV has shown good hard power and quality in terms of hybrid technology and configuration. Of course, BYD Han DM-i may be a little deficient compared with the Inspie e:PHEV in actual testing, but it also has good highlights in the field of space and intelligence. So in the car demand, see what you value more. For example, as a representative model of Honda's hybrid family, the E:PHEV has many years of technical support, which may be more worthy of serious consideration by consumers.
