With the new energy + luxury becoming the mainstream of the auto market development, more and more brands have taken advantage of the trend to launch mid-to-high-end smart electric vehicles. Now, Weipai has also begun a comprehensive transformation journey to high-end new energy, launching a latte DHT-PHEV that is claimed to be equipped with "long-range DHT+ coffee intelligence" technology.
However, several models launched by Weipai have "not succeeded". I wonder what new ideas can latte DHT-PHEV show in product strength? Moreover, the market competition is becoming increasingly fierce nowadays. Faced with competitors with similar prices and are also committed to solving user battery life anxiety, such as the latte DHT-PHEV, which was just launched this year, what is the confidence of the latte DHT-PHEV? Let’s talk together today.
At first glance, the appearance style of the latte DHT-PHEV is more traditional, continuing the family design language, and the body shape has a sense of power, retaining the maturity and stability of the fuel car. Entering the car, the interior of the latte DHT-PHEV is simple and elegant, and the central control layout is very simple. It uses contrasting color design, large screen, soft wrapping and crystal shank to create an interior atmosphere, presenting a good texture.
In comparison, new players such as Wenjie M5 show typical new energy temperament. The front face design is simple, young and new. However, the interior style of the Instrument M5 is quite similar to that of the latte DHT-PHEV. They both use large screens to highlight the sense of technology, and the gear handle is small and exquisite. I have to say that now "sense of technology" has become a must-have item for the interior of domestic models, but the design and layout seem to be a bit the same?
It can be said that aesthetics have always been a matter of opinion. In terms of design style alone, the latte DHT-PHEV is more like a down-to-earth and reliable warm man. It does not look amazing at first glance, but it may be more in line with the public taste; the M5 in the world is more niche and trendy, and the design is controversial, but after all, it is positioned higher and has a slight advantage in size.
As mentioned above, the interior design of the automotive market nowadays follows homogeneous elements, and it is exactly the same from layout to screen design, which inevitably makes consumers feel a little aesthetically tired. Therefore, the car needs to improve the materials and win with its texture and rich configuration.
In order to be more intuitive, we chose the latte DHT-PHEV four-wheel drive super large cup with similar price (guided price: 259,800 yuan) and the standard version of Wenjie M5 rear-wheel drive (guided price: 263,000 yuan). In fact, both of them have played the strengths of domestic models and have outstanding configuration richness.
However, at the top price of latte DHT-PHEV, you can only buy the entry-level version of the Inquiry M5. Therefore, the former still has additional configurations such as remote parking, steering wheel heating, roof rack , WI-FI hotspots, etc., plus the industry's first DVR dash recorder and other equipment, the care and configuration is relatively comprehensive and more friendly to family travel.
With the rapid development of the new energy vehicle industry, major auto companies have also differentiated into different representative technical camps. In terms of hybrid technology, with the best sales of models such as Ideal ONE and Nissan e-POWER, the extended-range technology has gradually become well-known. Simply put, the range extension is to be equipped with an additional engine as a "range extension" in addition to the motor system, which is specially used to charge the battery without participating in driving the vehicle.
In comparison, DHT technology represented by latte DHT-PHEV can realize serial and parallel driving. For example, the two-speed DHT series and parallel architecture of the latte DHT-PHEV can enable the engine to drive in 1 gear directly when accelerating at high speed in the car, while allowing the battery and the drive motor to participate in the output, reducing energy consumption while making the power stronger.
Due to different technologies, the two cars also have differences in energy conversion efficiency, power burst and fuel consumption.Intuitively comparing performance data, we can see that the latte DHT-PHEV is better than the M5 in various parameters, taking into account both explosive and energy consumption, and under WLTC operating conditions (nearly closer to the actual situation than NEDC operating conditions), the pure electric battery life is 184km and the comprehensive battery life is over 1000km, effectively solving the user's anxiety and pain points of battery life.
In short, major brands in the market are now emphasizing "smart" and calling for "high-end", but the real high-end is not an empty slogan or pile of configurations. From a technical point of view, the new energy solution adopted by the latte DHT-PHEV is better.
However, transformation is not easy. While expecting the performance of latte DHT-PHEV, it should also be seen that it also faces challenges such as insufficient brand halo and numerous competitors, and its price is not low. Faced with the "fashionable trendy men" launched by new car-making forces, the latte DHT-PHEV is more like a "family warm man". It seems not eye-catching and has no highlights, but it cares for users very well... I wonder if such a "alternative" new work can conquer the market?
