The importance of the layout of PHEV by Chinese car companies is self-evident, BYD with DM-i super hybrid in the terminal car market to kill all sides, Geely, Changan, Great Wall, GAC, Dongfeng and other traditional manufacturers have also fully bet on this, the current domestic car market, quite a PHEV to get the future meaning.
SAIC Passenger Vehicle's Roewe brand actually laid out PHEV products early, but due to the relatively niche hybrid structure adopted in its early days, the products failed to set off much storm in the end market. In Brother Yi's view, although it cannot be asserted whether Roewe's previous PHEV technology was underestimated, it must be admitted that instead of spending greater marketing costs to improve user acceptance, it is really better to follow the mainstream and make efforts in the PEHV technology that has been affirmed by users, that is, the layout adopts the PHEV technology of P1+P3 series-parallel architecture.
Seeing others rise to a tall building, Roewe has no reason to hesitate, if the Roewe D7 DMH launched last year is a wave of testing the water, then the upcoming Roewe D5X DMH is undoubtedly a bombshell that Roewe has put into the PHEV market.
Brother Yi has almost test-driven more than 90% of the PHEV products on the market, it is no exaggeration to say that almost all PHEV models with independent brand layout are significantly better than the brand's traditional fuel vehicles in terms of driving quality, and the reasons behind it are also easy to understand: in the field of fuel vehicles, independent brands started late, and the technology mastered is relatively limited, especially the transmission technology, which leads to the product in terms of power response speed, smoothness and other aspects There is still a lot of room for improvement; In the field of hybrids, including HEVs and PHEVs, due to their fewer gearbox gears and faster motor response, this is enough to greatly improve the driving quality of the vehicle.
The first impression of the Roewe D5X DMH is also very good, as another PHEV model of the Roewe brand that adopts P1+P3 series-parallel architecture, Brother Yi is not surprised by this, but what Brother Yi wants to say is that the new car is much better than the PHEV products with the same architecture in the market segment, including a number of head models.
As mentioned earlier, PHEV models with independent brand layouts are generally better to drive than their own fuel vehicles, mainly at the power level, but is power the only criterion for measuring whether a car is good enough to drive? Obviously not, and the Roewe D5X DMH's better opening is reflected in other levels.
For example, the chassis. If you have to ask Brother Yi to say why the chassis of the Roewe D5X DMH is better, Brother Yi can't actually answer, maybe it's mainly due to experience, after all, SAIC Group has been deeply involved in joint venture brands for many years, and its own brands have more references and references when developing products.
In short, the chassis of the Roewe D5X DMH can make Yige's eyes shine, which can ensure comfort while also having good support. In a closed section, Brother Yi drove the car to 200km h, but he did not panic at all, which is obviously inseparable from the excellent chassis, and when the new car maintains a speed of 120km h, the new car chassis presents a sense of stability comparable to the same level of German cars.
For example, NVH. The NVH performance of the Roewe D5X DMH is also very outstanding, thanks to the generous materials, although you can't see or touch, but as long as you experience this car, you will definitely feel the difference.
Driving at 120 km/h at the same high speed, the occupants of the car can even whisper, and despite the non-top-of-the-line Magis tires, the tire noise is very well isolated, and thanks to the styling advantage, the wind noise is almost imperceptible in the car.
Before participating in this test drive event, Brother Yi also did not understand the arrangement of the event, obviously the high-speed fuel consumption of hybrid cars is not superior, why the official still chooses the cross-city high-speed route, it turned out to be the chassis of the Roewe D5X DMH, NVH is particularly confident.
In Brother Yi's view, good opening is the biggest selling point of Roewe D5X DMH. Of course, as for the power and energy consumption that other major brands generally focus on publicity, Roewe D5X DMH is not lagging behind.
It should be noted that the Roewe D5X DMH is also the first series-parallel hybrid product of the Roewe brand to use a 2DHT hybrid transmission, and the purpose of the existence of the 2DHT gearbox is to make the vehicle more outstanding in terms of power and energy consumption.
The engine used in the new car is 1The 5L turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 110kW, is officially called a superhybrid engine, which is also specially tuned for the hybrid system, with the same aim of reducing energy consumption.
The drive motor of the new car has a maximum power of 145kW, a peak torque of 350Nm, and a power battery capacity of 21It has a 4kWh and can travel up to 135 km in CLTC mode.
In fact, it can also be seen from the engine and motor data of the new car that although the power performance of the new car cannot be said to be much ahead of the competition of the same level, it is definitely at the middle and upper reaches of the level, after all, this is a hybrid car that can step on a speed of 200km h, and its power is beyond doubt.
As for energy consumption, due to the fact that the road conditions of this test drive are mostly high-speed sections, and have been driving against the speed limit, the fuel consumption data that ran out is actually not too meaningful, according to official data, Roewe D5X DMH in the WLTC working condition feed fuel consumption is 525L 100km, compared with the same class of models, this achievement is also remarkable.
On the whole, the Roewe D5X DMH is definitely a good product, at least aside from the appearance that cannot reach a consensus, from the dynamic performance of the new car.
Write at the end. Objectively speaking, in this form, it is not easy for the Roewe D5X DMH to become a hit, although the overall performance of the new car is excellent, but it is never new for excellent products to be underestimated and buried.
Of course, it is not guaranteed that Roewe D5X DMH will eventually come up with a very powerful** system, in the opinion of Brother Yi, if the new car can be priced against Song Pro DM-i, and the official is willing to increase publicity, then the potential of the new car is still very large.
