This winter, Harbin Ice and Snow World is popular all over the country, and "vegetables and fruits" from all over the country have become a must-visit place for self-driving travel enthusiasts. However, in the extremely cold weather in the Northeast, new energy vehicles have felt the crit of freezing magic, not to mention pure electric vehicles, the plug-in hybrid models that were originally sworn not to be afraid of the cold have also revealed their original shapes one by one, and problems such as increased fuel consumption, decreased power, and slow heating of air conditioning have surfaced, and even local car owners complained: buying a car will be double standard!
In Yakeshi, Inner Mongolia, the authoritative organization of the Automotive Center, has also conducted an extremely cold test on various brands of hybrid vehicles, including rookie models such as the CR-V e:PHEV, as well as the popular spicy chicken BYD Song PLUS DM-i. Judging from the results, the CR-V E:PHEV still performs well in extremely cold regions, refusing double standards!
As a comparison, the BYD Song PLUS DM-i has a measured minimum charged fuel consumption of 7 in a low temperature environment of -35 to -2544L 100 km, fuel consumption has been close to some 15T pure fuel vehicle. Dongfeng Honda CR-V e:PHEV measured minimum charged fuel consumption of 501L 100km, even higher than the official WLTC rated fuel consumption (5.81L 100 km) is 14% lower, and in a popular word it is called "reverse false standard".
It cannot be said that the BYD Song PLUS DM-i is not good, in such a low temperature environment, the performance of the power battery of new energy vehicles will be greatly attenuated, thereby increasing the output burden of the engine, so the plug-in hybrid vehicles participating in this test, the fuel consumption is basically high, and the new generation of CR-V E:PHEV can be unique, or because its thermal management technology is more mature and stable, which is a typical representative of the technology flow.
In fact, our consumers need more technology flow, especially in the north, where the population is sparse and the winter is long and cold, compared with consumers in the south, northerners are more inclined to choose plug-in hybrid models, on the one hand, the number of charging piles is relatively small, and more importantly, it is to cope with the cold winter. In addition to being fuel-fuel-efficient and power-free without range anxiety, the CR-V e:PHEV also has lower fuel consumption to meet the user's energy-saving needs.
Fuel consumption reflects the technical superiority of the CR-V e:PHEV in the powertrain, while the results of snow track testing and snow emergency obstacle avoidance reflect its advantages in handling performance. On a 2km snowy track, the CR-V E:PHEV has a fastest full speed of 1:09, compared to 1:20.8 on the BYD Song Plus DM-i.
In the 45km h snow emergency obstacle avoidance link, the Dongfeng Honda CR-V E:PHEV has a hedging speed of 42 when facing a dummy crossing8km/h。The obstacle avoidance speed of the BYD Song PLUS DM-i in the corresponding state is 372km。
Both cars have snow driving mode, traction control and stability control, but there is a huge gap in performance, not only in terms of the system, but also in the level of chassis tuning of the two cars. The chassis of the CR-V e:PHEV is more focused on driving and riding balance, which means that you must sit comfortably and at the same time have enough handling.
The chassis of the BYD Song PLUS DM-i, on the other hand, is more comfortable. If it is driving on a flat and barrier-free road, it is difficult for us to make a high or low evaluation of the two cars, but in the event of sudden danger or complex road conditions, whoever has better chassis performance can have more protection. When driving on urban and provincial roads, the "ghost probe" is one of the main causes of traffic accidents, many times the driver reacts in time and makes corresponding avoidance, but the vehicle performance can not support the sudden emergency evasion, which eventually leads to loss of control and major accidents such as collision and rolling, bringing injury or property damage to the occupants in the car.
Netizens who like to read car content often use the word "understand cars" to debate with each other. Views and positions can be different, but as an objective mechanical product, the core value of the car lies in the "mechanical performance", artificial intelligence, rich configuration is essentially the icing on the cake, and needs to be built on excellent hardware quality in order to bring users a richer car experience.
As a plug-in hybrid SUV, Dongfeng Honda CR-V e:PHEV can do an excellent job of challenging the extreme cold with its power and chassis system, which is a manifestation of not forgetting the original intention of building a car.
