Bitauto Original Last time my friends and I drove the Accord e:PHEV in pure electric mode for 195.8km, and successfully advanced to the finals of the fifth extreme challenge of the Guangqi Honda Rui·Hybrid Alliance, and this time we will I will drive Haoying e:PHEV all the way from Xining, Qinghai to Yichang, Hubei, and see how its battery life is?
Vehicle Introduction
Haoying e: PHEV has been on the market for some time. The biggest change of this generation of models is the lengthening of the wheelbase. The vehicle size has reached 4716/1866/1681mm and the wheelbase is 2701mm. Although it is still called a compact SUV, The actual performance has reached that of a medium-sized SUV, and after adding a plug-in hybrid system, it is more suitable for current car buying needs.
The biggest highlight of Haoyinge:PHEV is that it is equipped with a PHEV based on Honda's fourth-generation i-MMD hybrid technology. system, it has dual motors E-CVT, adopts a two-speed direct drive structure, and the optimized layout of the drive motor and generator motor is changed to a parallel axis structure.
The most obvious change of this new dual-motor hybrid technology is the adoption of a 2-speed mechanism to achieve a high/ two-speed direct drive structure. In addition to the new low-speed direct drive, the mid-to-high-speed re-acceleration performance has been enhanced, and the top speed for high-speed driving can reach 193km/h.
With a battery with a capacity of 17.7kW·h, the vehicle can maintain a long-term EVMode driving, CLTCPure electric range reaches 91km, and pure electric drive covers full-speed driving scenarios .
Ultimate battery life 1659.7km
In order to ensure the fairness of the competition, each vehicle participating in the competition will have its battery fully charged and fuel filled until the liquid level is visible, and then the car will be sealed and the endurance test will begin.
The race started from Xining, Qinghai, passed through Lanzhou, Tianshui, Xi'an, Shiyan and finally reached Yichang, Hubei. The entire planned route was more than 1800km, passing through rural roads, national roads, mountain roads, urban expressways and highways. Although we did not follow the established We planned to complete the entire race, but we also traveled 1659.7km. This result is quite unexpected.
In order to ensure excellent results during the competition, we did not adopt daily driving habits. We lightly stepped on the accelerator and maintained the speed at 20-30km/h. Only high speeds would increase the speed, so this result cannot be used as a daily driver. reference.
Haoying e: PHEV driving experience
In recent years, there have been more and more plug-in hybrid SUVs on the market, but it has to be said that Haoying e:PHEV still has two qualities.
Driving the Haoying e:PHEV, you can clearly feel that the entire driving state is relaxed and pleasant, which is mainly reflected in the wide field of vision and brisk power performance.
The low hood, thin A-pillars, and rearview mirrors on both sides are positioned lower and farther out. These optimizations give Haoying e:PHEV a very good view of the entire front cabin, as anyone who drives often knows. , only with a good field of vision can driving become more secure.
The second is power. Although the power of the motor is not large, it is still quite brisk to drive. Combined with Honda's consistently precise steering, it doesn't feel like it is a big car at all.
But the shortcomings are also very obvious. First of all, the sound insulation performance of the whole vehicle is average. Both static and dynamic sound insulation are not good. You can clearly hear the tire noise from the car next door on the road, and the noise is coming from the car while driving. It reaches the ears from all directions, which is really not as good as today's independent SUVs.
There is also an obviously stiffer suspension adjustment, perhaps because Honda has always been pursuing a sporty setting. The chassis of the Haoying e:PHEV can transmit even the smallest vibrations from the road to the cabin, which has benefits as well. That is to say, the suspension can hold the car body when facing a jump, and the vehicle roll is relatively small when cornering quickly.
Write at the end
It must be said that among Japanese cars, Honda is currently the fastest to respond to the Chinese market. Mainstream cars such as the Accord and Haoying owned by Guangqi Honda have launched plug-in hybrid versions, and they are based on Honda's better models. Adjustment, every car is easy to drive, but now that independent brands are fully exerting their strength, some previous shortcomings will be magnified. I hope that Guangqi Honda can improve it in the future and make models more suitable for the Chinese market.
