[Shopping guide after owning a car] With the price of gasoline gradually rising, people are more interested in choosing models with lower fuel consumption and more cost-saving. As a result, hybrid models have become an important choice in people's minds and are deeply pursued by domestic consumers. They are also fuel-saving and worry-free. Today, the editor will take stock of two hybrid family cars with different technologies, FAW Toyota Avalon and BYD Han DM-i, which represent the backbone of joint ventures and local companies respectively, and analyze their respective advantages.

Appearance Comparison

In terms of appearance, everyone has mixed reviews, each with its own merits. In fact, the editor thinks that this belongs to the category of radish greens, and everyone has their own preferences. The front face of the Han DM-i adopts the Dragon Face2.0 design style, which is decorated with slender LED headlights on both sides and a large-mouth grille design in the middle of the front, which makes people feel that it has a strong visual impact and looks particularly unique.

The side of the car body has the popular small fastback style, with very clear and slender lines. The doors are equipped with hidden door handles, which can reduce the wind resistance of the entire car. The rear part of the car is much rounder and fuller than the old model. It still uses through-type taillights, which is in line with the current trend of the times. It also uses Chinese taillights, which has more local characteristics. Piano black decorative parts are added under the tail to make it more eye-catching. The new multi-spoke sports wheels also achieve the purpose of enhancing the sporty feel. Coupled with the obvious muscular rear waistline and slip-back shape, it even has a hint of Porsche .

The front face of Asia Dragon will look more mature and stable. The wide front face is designed with an exaggerated large-mouth honeycomb air intake grille in the middle of the front face. It has a trapezoid shape from top to bottom, with clear layers, and shrinks in sequence from the outside to the inside. The newly upgraded three-eye headlights after the facelift make the headlights sharp in shape and the "eyes" more fierce. The entire front face has a lot of Lexus ES feeling after the facelift.

The body length of the car is almost 5 meters, which further highlights its difference from cars of the same level. The design is very three-dimensional, slender and dynamic, and it is especially stretched under the sunlight. The taillights look very delicate and adopt a through-type design that is a modern trend. However, the section with the English name of Asian Dragon in the middle is only a red trim strip that does not light up, but it also allows it to have a lower visual center of gravity when there is sufficient light. The exhaust pipe uses a bilateral double-out design, and the rear of the car presents a sporty design style as a whole, as well as a dynamic curve design, making the whole look quite aggressive.

Interior Comparison

All Han DM-i series are equipped with a 12.3-inch full LCD instrument panel, equipped with a 15.6-inch large screen, supporting 360-degree rotation, with a sense of technology, and a good human-computer interaction experience. A large area of ​​the interior of the cabin is wrapped in leather, which is very delicate and delicate. However, the steering wheel feels hard to hold and the internal padding is not thick enough. The front row configuration is also all-inclusive. All series come standard with seat heating, ventilation, and electric adjustment. Except for the lowest configuration, other series are equipped with Dynaudio audio, which is almost "armed to the teeth."

On the other hand, the overall interior of the Asia Dragon appears simpler. The 7-inch full LCD instrument panel and 8/10.1-inch central control screen add a lot of points to the interior. The center console can also create a good sense of hierarchy after being outlined with straight lines. The more curved air-conditioning outlets on both sides make the driving vision wider. They are low-key and mature, which is the characteristic of Asia Dragon. In the car and machine part, it is equipped with Toyota intelligent interconnection, Internet of Vehicles OTA upgrade, active braking, lane keeping, reversing image functions. It is worth mentioning that all Asia Dragon series are equipped with 10 airbags as standard, which also ensures the safety of people in the car.

Space Comparison

The overall space of the Han DM-i is a bit poor for the positioning of a medium and large car. The editor, who is 1.85 meters tall, adjusted a comfortable driving posture in the front row. When entering the back row, there is only about four fingers of leg space, and the seat cushion height is low. When maintaining a normal sitting posture, the front end of the thigh is not supported and is slightly suspended. Fortunately, the Han DM-i's seat padding is relatively thick and soft, and it also has a side-reclined backrest, so the overall riding comfort is good.

After sitting in the back row of the Asia Dragon, the legroom is not much different from that of the Han DM-i, and the headroom is slightly better. The seat padding is very thick and soft, but the hybrid model will have thinner seat cushions due to battery layout problems, so it is naturally less comfortable than the fuel version. However, with the Avalon's comfortable adjustment and good quietness, the overall ride comfort is also remarkable. It can be seen that Toyota's design standards for the rear seats of the Avalon are in line with the Lexus ES.

Comparison of power and fuel consumption

Han DM-i is equipped with a 1.5T engine and a motor to form a plug-in hybrid system. It is matched with an E-CVT continuously variable transmission. The driving is smooth and linear, very similar to an electric car. There will not be much movement when the internal combustion engine intervenes. The official acceleration from 0 to 100 seconds is 7.9 seconds. This power is enough for ordinary household vehicles for daily transportation.

may be the biggest highlight of this car in terms of fuel consumption. Due to the blessing of the motor, the fuel consumption of this car has obvious advantages in the same level. Although the editor turned on the sports mode for more intense driving, the fuel consumption was only 6.6L/100km. This is the fuel consumption when the battery is only 20% short of power, which can be said to be at the upper level. The NEDC comprehensive cruising range is as high as 1,300km. For a medium and large car, this kind of fuel consumption and cruising range is obviously very good.

Asia Dragon is equipped with three power combinations of 2.0L pure oil/2.5L pure oil/2.5L oil hybrid, which are matched with CVT/Aisin 8AT/E-CVT gearboxes. The overall tuning still maintains comfort as the standard. In terms of acceleration, because the 2.5L has a motor, it is much lighter than the pure oil version at low speeds. The absolute power is average but the response is quick, which is very suitable for daily household transportation.

In terms of fuel consumption, this car will bring you many surprises. In the 2.0L and 2.5L pure oil versions, it only reaches 6.2L/100km, but if it is switched to the oil-mixed version, it is as low as 4.7L/100km. Can such excellent results not make people excited? There may be a slight gap between the Asia Dragon oil hybrid version and the Han DM-i, but considering the non-plug-in hybrid factor, this data is excellent enough.

written at the end

In fact, when choosing between these two cars, you must not only pay attention to the product strength of the vehicle itself, but also the license plate policy of the place where you purchase the car and the convenience of charging in the scope of use. As two very representative vehicles, they respectively represent the top technologies of gasoline hybrid and plug-in hybrid. It can be said that engineers have made great efforts in fuel saving to meet the needs of our consumers. So if you were in front of the screen, which car would you prefer?
