Thirty years of Hedong, thirty years of Hexi, this sentence is very suitable in all walks of life, domestic cars in the traditional era of fuel vehicles due to a late start, in terms of professional technology has been surpassed by joint venture cars or foreign-funded vehicles. Today's independent brands have achieved corner overtaking on the new energy track, and many car companies such as Geely and BYD have emerged. There is a common market and consumer group, so there is also competition between Geely and BYD, today we take a look at the more popular Qin PLUS DM-i Honor Edition and Geely Emgrand L HIP Longteng Edition.
Qin PLUS DM-i Honor Edition and Geely Emgrand L HIP Longteng Edition are both compact cars launched in February 2024, and the entry version is 20,000 yuan lower than the current car, which shows that both parties are full of sincerity. Qin Plus DM-i Champion Edition has good sales in the car market in 2023, although sales have declined in January this year, but it still exceeds 20,000 units, and Geely Emgrand L HIP is obviously not so lucky, since August last year, the average monthly sales have not reached 1,000 units, so what is the problem?
Since both cars are equipped with a plug-in hybrid system, let's start with the power aspect, the Qin Plus DM-i Honor Edition is equipped with 15L engine + drive motor, the maximum output of the engine is 81kW, while the Emgrand L HIP Longteng version is equipped with 15T engine + drive motor, the maximum power of the engine is much greater than that of Qin PLUS DM-i, with a parameter of 133KW, but the maximum power of the motor is only 100KW, which is much smaller than the 132KW of Qin PLUS DM-i. The Emgrand L HIP has a combined WLTC fuel consumption of 14L 100km, while Qin Plus DM-i is 217L 100km, the difference between the two is not very big.
In terms of battery life, the Qin Plus DM-i Honor Edition entry model uses a battery capacity of 832kWh, corresponding to a WLTC pure electric range of 46km, the Emgrand L HIP Dragon version uses 15The 5kWh ternary lithium battery is not only more expensive, but also has a longer WLTC pure electric range of 80km. Under the same mileage, the charging frequency of Geely Emgrand L HIP Dragon Edition is lower, and the two only have a slow charging mode, and the time is 252 hours and 25 hours, daily use will not delay too much time cost. In addition, the fuel tank of the Qin Plus DM-i Glory Edition is 48L, while the Emgrand L HIP reaches 52L, so the comprehensive cruising range of the Emgrand L HIP can reach 1300km with full fuel and full power.
Entering the cockpit, the Qin PLUS DM-i Glory Edition adopts the BYD family-style design language, 88-inch full LCD instrument cluster and 10The 1-inch central control screen is suspended above the center console, in contrast, the cockpit layout of the Emgrand L HIP Longteng Edition is much more low-key, following the current popular minimalist design language, and a large amount of storage space is given, 1025-inch full LCD instrument cluster and 12The 3-inch central control screen looks more atmospheric, with a built-in Galaxy OS intelligent system, and 6+64GB of system storage can fully cope with daily multi-scene use.
Qin PLUS DM-i Glory Edition's system storage is only 4+16GB, the risk of jamming after long-term use is greater than that of competitors, the car's physical buttons are mostly concentrated on both sides of the electronic gear handle, and the Emgrand L HIP Longteng Edition is distributed under the through-type air conditioning outlet, and the hidden design looks beautiful and generous.
Today's consumers are more inclined to choose large-space models, the wheelbase of the Qin PLUS DM-i Honor Edition is 2718mm, and the Emgrand L HIP Longteng Edition is 2700mm, obviously the Qin PLUS DM-i will have a slightly better ride space. The seats of both cars are covered in imitation leather, and the Qin Plus DM-i has eliminated the front headrests due to the integrated sports seats in the front row. The Emgrand L HIP Dragon Edition is equipped with a single sunroof from the top of the entry, while the Qin Plus DM-i Glory Edition is given from the second lowest configuration, for those who have a limited budget or prefer a large sunroof, the Qin Plus DM-i entry version is not a good choice.
The above is a comparative analysis of Qin Plus DM-i Glory Edition and Emgrand L HIP Longteng Edition, it can be seen that even if both sides reduce the price by 20,000 yuan, the price of Emgrand L HIP is still 10,000 yuan more expensive than Qin Plus DM-i Glory Edition, but this 10,000 yuan can be exchanged for stronger power and long-lasting pure electric battery life, perhaps for people with a limited budget, ** is the most important, plus BYD Qin Plus DM-i is more well-known, so I**Emgrand L The sales volume of the HIP Dragon Edition this year will also be much lower than that of the Qin Plus DM-i Glory Edition, if the Emgrand L HIP Dragon Edition wants to break the game, in addition to continuing to fight, I really can't think of any good way for the time being.
