Recently, there is a hot topic, which is the small potatoes in the south in Harbin.
Don't say it, the colder it gets, the hotter it gets, as we can see from the sharp increase in the number of self-driving trips in the Northeast this winter.
Since you have to drive in the ice and snow, what kind of car you drive really affects the travel experience.
If it is a tram, this winter range decay is so great, in case of lying in the nest that will not sweep the interest, if it is a fuel car travel, fuel consumption is much higher than usual, perhaps at this point in time, an economical and flexible, oil and electric hybrid model is undoubtedly the best choice.
So among the many hybrid models on the market, which one is more reliable?
Here we have to mention the two more technologically mature Japanese SUVs, the Dongfeng Honda CR-V e:PHEV and the Toyota Rongfang R**4 PHEV.
So how to choose one of these two cars?
We can make a good reference from the performance of these two cars in the winter challenge of the China Automotive Center.
Snow play control, can only be handed over to professional riders?
When they hear about the snow, many people will be a little timid, and they don't even dare to step down, for fear that if the speed is fast, the car will easily slide sideways in one direction.
So how did the Dongfeng Honda CR-V e:PHEV and the Toyota Rongfang R**4 PHEV perform?
In the winter challenge of the two-kilometre handling road test, the CR-V e:PHEV took just 1 minute 09 seconds, while the R**4 PHEV took 1 minute 21.8 seconds.
To be honest, on a two-kilometer icy road, driving in less than 2 minutes can be called an excellent performance, which is equivalent to driving on a snow road at a speed of 60 km/h, which is already very fast, not to mention that the CR-V e:PHEV has reached a speed of about 110km/h.
The reason why the Dongfeng Honda CR-V e:PHEV performs better than the Toyota Rongfang R**4 PHEV is actually the snow mode that comes standard across the board.
Thanks to this, the CR-V E:PHEV is firmly attached to low-friction snow, and the body control system intervenes in time to correct and fine-tune the body posture in the event of a side skid.
Since the attitude is stable enough, then the throttle will naturally dare to go down, the speed will go up, and the fun of control will come.
In fact, the Dongfeng Honda CR-V e:HEV with intelligent four-wheel drive system performs better, and the entire completion time is nearly 2 seconds shorter than that of the CR-V E:PHEV.
Ice pull-up performance, enough to see the real force?
Winter self-driving trip, there is one thing to pay attention to, especially in the suburbs, there may be some small animals suddenly out of the road, the driver will subconsciously make avoidance actions, and this moment is also relatively dangerous, because the road is slippery, the vehicle is in a hurry, it is easy to lose control.
In this regard, the CR-V E:PHEV and the Toyota Rongfang R**4 PHEV were also tested, when the vehicle was driving on the snow at a speed of 45km h, suddenly there was a dummy crossing laterally, and the two vehicles made a hedging maneuver at the same time, and the CR-V E:PHEV ended up with a score of 42The speed of 8km h is avoided, while the speed of the Rongfang R**4 PHEV is reduced to 351km/h。
It can be seen that the CR-V e:PHEV loses very little speed when avoiding danger, which further illustrates the car's higher precision and more reliable operation of the traction control and body control system.
In addition, the CR-V E:HEV and Rongfang R**4 PHEV completed the 20-degree slope and half-low attached ice and half-high asphalt climbing challenges in 6 and 7 seconds, which stood out from the test vehicles.
Without an excellent intelligent four-wheel drive system, it would be difficult to achieve such results.
As a result, some "wild" friends may not be so peaceful, frozen dirt roads, gravel roads want to try a little, maybe these two cars are really a good choice for winter off-road.
It is worth mentioning that the CR-V e:PHEV's ultra-high-strength cage body and 10 airbags are also equipped with 10 airbags as standard in the rear, which undoubtedly makes the car more secure.
Extreme cold fuel consumption, it won't be higher than this, right?
Of course, since it is a winter self-driving fuel consumption must be considered, in case it happens to be in the remote areas of the village and the store, then there is only waiting for rescue in the cold wind, so it is said that the pure electric game winter self-driving, the battery activity itself is insufficient, or be careful.
So, why are these two cars suitable for winter road trips today, because their fuel economy is really outstanding.
Let's start with a set of figures, in this winter challenge, the fuel consumption of Dongfeng Honda CR-V e:PHEV per 100 kilometers is only 501L, and the corresponding value of the Rongfang R**4 PHEV is only 6Although the 2L is a little higher than the CR-V, it is not an exaggeration to say that these two Japanese hybrid SUVs can have such fuel consumption performance under extremely cold conditions.
And, to know the Dongfeng Honda CR-V E:PHEV 150PS maximum horsepower of 2The hybrid system composed of 0L self-priming engine + 184PS maximum horsepower motor can achieve long-lasting power and fast response when starting or accelerating, and the acceleration is very linear.
In self-driving, you can really enjoy it.
Closing Remarks:
We can see the mature hybrid technology of the Japanese in the Dongfeng Honda CR-V e:PHEV and the Toyota Rongfang R**4 PHEV, as well as a solid tuning foundation, taking into account driving pleasure, performance and fuel consumption, which are not only used for daily family travel, but also can be used in mountains, seas and lakes, and outings everywhere, even in the cold winter, all reflect the practicality and reliability of these two cars.
And to say that the comparison between the two, in fact, the test results are also relatively obvious, the Honda CR-V e:PHEV is indeed better than the Toyota Rongfang R**4 PHEV.
