A few days ago, Chery also launched its own plug-in hybrid technology with single-speed direct-drive DHT structure, the Kunpeng Super Hybrid C-DM system, and the first model, Chery Fengyun A8, was also officially launched.
There are no highlights in this powertrain. From the structural point of view, it is similar to BYD's DM-i, the drive work is mainly done by the motor, and the engine only drives the vehicle directly when cruising at high speeds. The engine is not new, but the one that has been used for many years5T, even the parameters have not changed, the maximum horsepower is still 156 horsepower, and the maximum torque is still 220 Nm. The parameters of the motor are also standardized, with a maximum horsepower of 204 hp and a maximum torque of 310 Nm.
Although it is simple, it is easy to use, and this power structure, which has been verified by BYD and Honda and other car companies, has good performance in terms of power and energy consumption. According to official data, the fuel consumption of Chery Fengyun A8 in the state of power loss is 42l/100km。At the same time, it carries 18The 3 kWh Fodi battery (from BYD) has an all-electric range of 127 km in CLTC mode and 106 km in WLTC mode.
The above parameters are the mainstream level of the industry. Although it is not backward, it has no advantages over competing products, so Chery Fengyun A8 began to live.
The Chery Fengyun A8 claims that its maximum comprehensive range can reach 1400km. Just when everyone thought it had some advanced technology, careful friends suddenly found that its technology was very simple, that is, a larger fuel tank. The fuel tank capacity of the Chery Fengyun A8 is 60L, while most other similar models are below 50L, such as the BYD Qin PLUS DM-i, which is 48L. Chery Fengyun A8 is not the first brand to think of this routine, before the ideal ONE in the facelift, the fuel tank was expanded from the old 45L to 55L.
While claiming to be a technology Chery and his image is a science and engineering man, not only can he not get any technology, but he also uses this way to fool consumers.
Returning to the Chery Fengyun A8, it is the hybrid version of the Arrizo 8.
The basic parameters of this car are quite good. First of all, the size is large, the length, width and height are 4780*1843*1487mm, and the wheelbase is 2790mm. We don't care about positioning, the benefits of large size are obvious, large space, plus the wheelbase and wheelbase are larger, and the basis of handling is also better. Speaking of which, we have to talk about a slot of Chery Fengyun A8, the rear suspension of Arrizo 8 is a multi-link independent suspension, and Chery Fengyun A8 has been replaced with a torsion beam.
In terms of configuration, the Chery Fengyun A8 is not pleasing. Although there are 4 configurations available, there are only 3 configurations worth taking. Because the minimum configuration is too low, in terms of safety, there are only two airbags, there is no reversing radar, there is no reversing image, air conditioning or manual air conditioning, and there is no rear exhaust air outlet, the overall configuration is still stuck in 10 years ago, just ask which independent brand has such a configuration now. The sub-low-end configuration also looks shabby, the number of airbags is not enough, only 4, and the steering wheel is still plastic, which can only be said to be barely enough. Only to the top configuration, the overall configuration can be considered complete, but ** has also come to 13990,000. The top configuration is indeed rich, and there are also intelligent driving assistance systems, but ** has also come to 14990,000. Directly from the 100,000 level, to the 150,000 level.
Then there are the slots in the design. It's 2024 now, and Chery's design still has obvious traces of plagiarism, the front face is directly an Audi A4 set, and the interior has obvious Mercedes-Benz traces.
Finally, let's talk about it
It is undeniable that Chery's engine technology is good, its fuel vehicle market performance is also relatively good, and as a pioneer of its own brand export to overseas markets, Chery's performance in overseas markets is also the best among its own brands.
However, in the field of new energy, Chery's performance needs to continue to work hard. If the technology is not good, it is necessary to specialize in technology, and if the marketing is not good, it is necessary to optimize the marketing, rather than taking the flickering route like Chery Fengyun A8.
