2 Answers
The working principle of the Hongqi H5 48V mild hybrid system involves the addition of a 48V electric motor, which can both start the engine and generate electricity. Below is an introduction to the Hongqi H5: 1. Exterior: As a product specifically designed for young consumers, the new car features an inverted trapezoidal grille with vertical chrome-plated strips, similar to the new H7. The upper corners of the grille seamlessly integrate with the full LED headlight assembly, complemented by bold lines outlining the grille, exuding a youthful vibe. 2. Powertrain: It is equipped with a 1.8T turbocharged engine featuring automatic start-stop functionality, delivering a maximum power of 131kW (178PS) and a peak torque of 250N·m. The transmission is paired with a 6-speed automatic gearbox. Other safety configurations include the Traction Control System (TCS) and Electronic Stability Program (ESP), along with a newly tuned suspension system.
I drive a Hongqi H5 mild hybrid, and the principle of its 48V mild hybrid system is quite simple. It adds a 48-volt battery and a small motor to the car, with the motor connected to the engine. During startup, the motor helps quickly ignite the engine without waiting for it to fire up alone. When accelerating, the motor provides extra power to give you a boost. At red lights or when decelerating, it can recover braking energy and store it as electricity in the battery, preventing waste. The driving experience is exceptionally smooth, with no jerking, and it helps me save a lot on fuel costs. It’s especially useful in city driving, recovering more energy during peak traffic jams. Overall, this system reduces the engine’s workload, extends its lifespan, and enhances driving comfort. However, the battery condition needs regular checks to avoid aging affecting its performance.
