Hybrid e+ is a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle, while Hybrid is a regular hybrid electric vehicle. Here are more details about the Leiling Hybrid and Leiling e+: 1. Both the Hybrid and Hybrid e+ are equipped with a 1.8-liter naturally aspirated engine and a 92-horsepower electric motor. 2. The 1.8-liter naturally aspirated engine has a maximum power of 92 kW and a maximum torque of 142 Nm. This engine can output maximum power at 5,200 rpm and maximum torque at 3,600 rpm. The engine features VVT-i technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. The electric motor paired with this engine has a maximum power of 53 kW and a maximum torque of 163 Nm. 3. The Leiling uses a MacPherson independent suspension at the front and an E-type multi-link independent suspension at the rear. The Leiling's exterior design is quite attractive, and the interior design also aligns well with the aesthetic preferences of young consumers.
When buying my first car, I researched the differences between the Leiling Hybrid and the Leiling e+. The Hybrid is a regular hybrid version that doesn't require external charging, has a smaller battery, and relies on the coordinated work of the engine and motor, offering low and stable fuel consumption, making it very convenient for my daily commute. The e+ is a plug-in hybrid version with a much larger battery, capable of external charging, and can run over 50 kilometers on pure electric power when fully charged, which suits people like me who have short commutes. It also offers a stronger acceleration feel and quicker starts. However, the e+ is significantly more expensive, costing tens of thousands more, and the installation of a charging station is a bit troublesome. In terms of maintenance, the Hybrid is simpler, with repair shops widely available, while the e+'s battery is more prone to wear and requires more careful handling. The choice depends on your needs; I chose the Hybrid for its convenience, though the e+ is truly impressive in terms of environmental friendliness.
