In 2023, all car companies have completed the preparation of plug-in hybrid technology, and next year will open the intensive bright sword mode.
Xingtu, which has outstanding performance in 2023, is poised to take off in the plug-in market. On December 26, the Xingtu M3X super-hybrid native hybrid platform analysis meeting was held in Beijing, releasing the information of this global plug-in hybrid technology platform in advance.
Dr. Xu Youzhong, Assistant General Manager of Chery Automobile Co., Ltd. and Vice President of Automotive Engineering Research Institute, and Dr. Zhang Zhifu, Chief Technologist of Chery Group's Powertrain, introduced the native technical strength of the M3X superhybrid platform in detail. At the same time, the first model based on the platform, the ultra-comfortable electric hybrid flagship SUV "Yaoguang C-DM", was also unveiled, and the new car will be launched in the first quarter of 2024.
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", starting from the Yaoguang C-DM launched in the first quarter, the M3X super-hybrid platform will continue to launch a series of high-quality and diversified native hybrid models in the future, bringing consumers a value experience of "always exceeding expectations and always having surprises".
As Wang Guanglei, deputy director and senior economist of the State Information Center, pointed out in the report, "China's new energy development speed has jumped to the first place in the world, as of November, China is ahead of the European Union, the United States and other global markets with a penetration rate of 40% 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 the era of continuous involution and super involution.
The M3X superhybrid platform integrates Chery's 26 years of technological exploration with the world's top strategic resources, and builds an ultra-comfortable native hybrid platform for the global mid-to-high-end new energy market based on the core technological advantages of intelligent chassis, electronic and electrical architecture, and "new three parts", which is the technical cornerstone of the Xingtu native hybrid era.
From the beginning of its research and development, the M3X superhybrid platform has been anchored with the goal of "born global, higher than the world", and has been built in accordance with the standards of covering the global market demand and benchmarking luxury brands. For the special use of hybrid vehicles, the test of high heat, high humidity, high cold, and high efficiency performance has been carried out in the world's most severe automotive environments such as Brazil, Indonesia, the Middle East, Germany, and China, ensuring the stable and reliable technical quality of the same level. For example, the waterproof performance of the whole vehicle is developed in accordance with the national standard 3 times, the waterproof battery pack reaches 48 times the national standard, and the battery and other vehicle systems meet the requirements of the ultra-wide operating temperature zone of "as low as -35 and as high as 60".
Designed for hybrid vehicles, the M3X super-hybrid platform is designed with the layout of the three-electric system in mind, allowing for a high degree of flexibility and scalability. The overall hierarchical structure, continuous iteration and modular development, and higher efficiency of car manufacturing, will play a vital role in the future layout of Xingtu's hybrid products. 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, the platform has the characteristics of flexible bandwidth, which can be freely combined and changed between medium-sized and medium-large vehicles with a length bandwidth of 4750 5100mm and a wheelbase bandwidth of 2750 2900mm, so as to meet the diversified and personalized development needs of users in the original hybrid era.
In terms of power architecture, the native hybrid system will be adapted to the power form of "front-wheel drive dual-motor 3-speed and 4-wheel drive 3-motor", among which, the dual-motor + 3-speed DHT technology has won the special certification of the national new energy science and technology project by virtue of its technical advantages such as 3-speed 9-mode 11-speed, dual-motor drive and dual-shaft drive. It is ahead of the industry in terms of overall parameters, and 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 a transmission efficiency of 976%, 4WD 001S-level response, the comprehensive performance can be called the "most advanced technology and the most dynamic" in the same level. In practical application scenarios, the system has also undergone 200,000 comprehensive simulations in harsh environments around the world, ensuring excellent driving reliability under nine full-scenario working conditions, such as morning peak traffic jams, full-throttle acceleration overtaking and emergency braking, and high-speed and long-distance driving.
The M3X superhybrid platform is built with the best native hybrid technology to bring users the ultimate ultra-comfortable experience. Safety is the threshold of the high-end, which is also the DNA of Xingtu. The model based on the M3X super-hybrid platform is built in accordance with the global N-CAP five-star standard, using a lightweight capsule design of high-strength steel + aluminum, and a two-horizontal and three-vertical encircling force transmission structure to create the protection of the golden bell jar for users. Battery safety is the threshold of high-end, and for the safety of new energy vehicles, the M3X superhybrid platform is also designed with strict standards. For example, the battery adopts a symmetrical arrangement in the center, adds a guard plate and a heat shield around it, and adds a lateral protection reinforcement beam and an energy-absorbing structure in the threshold of the body, so that even if the extreme vehicle collision conditions are encountered, the battery cell can still achieve zero extrusion and zero deformation. It is worth mentioning that the M3X super-hybrid platform will be equipped with CATL's latest M3P high-safety battery for the first time to ensure battery safety from the source.
Leading comfort is the value of the high-end. Through the integrated functions such as the electric hybrid system, the Flying Fish chassis with the CDC electromagnetic suspension system as the core, and the queen's co-pilot, the comfort upgrade is fully realized. What's more, the four domains of power, body, cockpit and intelligent driving integrate the EEA electronic and electrical architecture, which supports OTA upgrades, bringing a common and always comfortable driving quality.
Advanced performance, is a high-end tonality. Born on the M3X super-hybrid platform, the model can not only achieve high energy saving, high safety, but also achieve high performance, and the front-wheel drive model can accelerate from zero to 100 79s, electric four-wheel drive models can accelerate up to 426s。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, expanding the width of life for users at any time.
In 2024, the fierce battle in the hybrid vehicle market is coming, and Xingtu will also fully sound the clarion call to impact the new energy track, accelerate the construction of the 445 product matrix, and open a new era of ultra-comfort and beauty. For the new energy market, Xingtu has made a comprehensive sprint preparation, and next year will be a year worth looking forward to.
