2021 is not only the year of the outbreak of pure electric models, but also the year of the outbreak of PHEV models.
On March 1, 2022, the Mocha model under the Wei brand ushered in a plug-in hybrid model, the listing of the Mocha DHT PHEV was released, which was also the final unveiling of the price of the Mocha DHT PHEV; the Mocha DHT PHEV 0 Anxiety Smart Edition was priced at 295,000 yuan, and the Mocha DHT PHEV 0 Anxiety Performance Edition was 315,000 yuan, let's not discuss the final price of this car, what are the highlights of this car, let's re-review it.
In December 2021 and January 2022, the author experienced the different driving experiences of the MOCHA DHT PHEV in Xushui, Hebei Province and Shenzhen respectively, and had a very deep impression of this model.
The longest-lasting PHEV
The Mocha DHT PHEV is equipped with the largest power battery pack of the current plug-in hybrid model, with a power of 39.67 degrees, what is the concept? You know, the current 300,000 yuan or so flagship pure electric model, the battery is only 75-80kWh, to Weilai ET5, Xiaopeng P7 and Tesla Model 3 as an example, Weilai ET5 entry-level version, equipped with 75kWh battery, Xiaopeng P7 high-end version with 80.9kWh battery, Tesla Model 3 high-performance version with 78.4kWh, a PHEV model equipped with close to 40kWh battery, is indeed enough "Ben".
Surely many people will ask, why cling to a large battery?
Why are more and more consumers choosing to buy PHEV models? Consumers are not satisfied with the current pure electric vehicle energy and mileage, either feel that the mileage is too small and insufficient, or feel that charging is inconvenient, especially running long distances, but also waste charging time on the road, which is also the basic original of the PHEV model sales continue to rise; but now consumers are very picky about the product, even if they buy PHEV models, but also to be able to meet the daily transportation of the basic pure electric mode driving, in order to better economic energy saving and car costs, If a pure electric mileage is too short, it cannot meet the needs of consumers.
Mocha DHT PHEV equipped with a battery close to 40kWh, the two-wheel drive version in the pure electric mileage, can reach 204km, to the urban commuting for example, every day back and forth commuting 50km, this car can also meet the pure electric mode to meet 4 days of daily transportation, and at the critical moment of no power do not have to worry about the problem of "lying down" and charging difficulties, you can choose to refuel to continue driving.
Therefore, the large battery of Weipai Mocha DHT PHEV is to give consumers a variety of uses in more use scenarios.
Not like the performance of SUVs
In terms of performance, the author went to the Xushui Test Site in Hebei at the end of December 2021, and prepared a variety of scenes for the Mocha DHT PHEV in the venue, namely: high ring, 60 ° steep slope, elk test, pile winding, 100 km straight line acceleration and other performance tests, so that the author still has a deep impression on it.
On the high ring, the speed has exceeded 200km/h (field test), sitting in the car, the author has only one word evaluation of the high ring test, that is, "stable", many models have been "floating" at a speed of more than 140km/h, but the Mocha DHT PHEV is very "calm". In addition to the stable posture of the body, in the ultra-high-speed test, it can also be felt that the Mocha DHT PHEV car has made sufficient efforts in tranquility, and the chat and communication in the car are still very "relaxed".
The author later analyzed why the Mocha DHT PHEV SUV, at such a high speed has a very stable experience, the reason is that the Mocha DHT PHEV is not the "oil to electricity" that we see commonly, the power battery pack of this car is placed at the bottom of the vehicle, and the pure electric vehicle is very similar, and the battery close to 40kWh, the self-weight is very large, placed at the bottom of the Mocha DHT PHEV, in addition to the reasonable layout, it will also give this car a very good downforce, Let this car still use a very stable state when driving at super high speeds.
Due to the very stable chassis system and downforce, the author is full of confidence when experiencing the elk test, and there will be no "deviation" when changing lanes left and right, in one go, very fluent; on the 100 km acceleration, because the experience is a four-wheel drive performance version, according to official data, 100 km acceleration is only 4.8 seconds, derived from the powertrain of Mocha, the maximum power is 335kW, the maximum torque is 762, with the dual power of the engine and the motor, you can accelerate the 100 km to within 5 seconds, this achievement, compared to many pure electric vehicles will not fall into the downwind, so if you like the performance experience of the user, you can go to the 4S store after the listing to test drive experience.
Write at the end
Tonight to uncover the biggest mystery is the price of this car, the final price of mocha DHT PHEV is 295,000-31.5 million yuan, the price is indeed enough flagship, but think carefully, just close to 40kWh power battery cost is very expensive, plus Wei Pai on this mocha DHT PHEV must be enough effort, whether it is tuning or handling the ability, are carefully polished, so this car is indeed worthy of this price.
