What are the domestic hybrid cars?
2 Answers
Domestic hybrid sedans include Geely Borui GE PHEV, BYD Qin Pro DM, MG 6 Plug-in Hybrid, and Roewe ei6, among others. Here is more information about hybrid vehicles: 1. Mild Hybrid: Mild hybrid models have the least modifications compared to conventional models. Currently, mild hybrid models mainly feature 48V mild hybrid systems, although manufacturers like Cadillac have introduced 90V mild hybrids. This means adding a 90V battery to the fuel-powered model, which can provide limited driving force during vehicle start-up and rapid acceleration, thereby reducing the engine's workload in high fuel consumption scenarios and lowering fuel consumption. However, the motor power in mild hybrid models is very weak and cannot independently drive the vehicle. Additionally, fuel consumption performance in mild hybrid models is not particularly outstanding. 2. Hybrid Electric: Hybrid electric technology is currently mainly mastered by Japanese manufacturers represented by Toyota and Honda. Hybrid electric vehicles have significantly larger batteries than mild hybrid models, and their motors are much more powerful. However, similar to mild hybrid models, hybrid electric vehicles do not require owners to charge the vehicle additionally. The onboard battery is primarily charged through energy recovery during braking or downhill driving, as well as additional charging by the engine during steady driving. 3. Plug-in Hybrid: Plug-in hybrid models are equipped with a relatively large capacity battery, and their engine power is sufficient to drive the vehicle independently. Therefore, unlike the previous two types of hybrid models, plug-in hybrid models can operate in pure electric driving mode.
I recently test drove several domestic hybrid vehicles and found BYD's hybrid series to be the most outstanding, such as the Qin PLUS DM-i and Song PRO DM-i, which offer fast acceleration and fuel efficiency, and are particularly quiet in city driving. Geely also has highlights, like the Emgrand L Hi·P, with ultra-low comprehensive fuel consumption. Other brands like Great Wall's Haval Shenshou and WEY Latte are also worth noting, featuring exquisite interiors and spacious cabins. Overall, domestic hybrids have made significant technological progress, no longer relying on imports as before, and can also benefit from policy subsidies. The daily driving experience is comfortable with responsive power, making them ideal for family commutes. There are increasingly more market options, ranging from compact cars to SUVs, and I recommend everyone to experience the actual vehicles to find the one that suits them best.
