Hello everyone, here is United Engine, a small car media hovering on the brink of bankruptcy.

Today's competitiveness analysis, let's take a look at the latest plug-in hybrid model on the market, the Haval H6 DHT-PHEV.

On September 28, Great Wall Haval officially launched its core model Haval H6 plug-in hybrid version, Haval H6 DHT-PHEV, the price range of the new car is 159,800-173,800 yuan, and a total of 3 configuration models were launched.

From the name, the Haval H6 DHT-PHEV is a plug-in hybrid model with a DHT power architecture and is equipped with a two-speed DHT gearbox. The advantage is that it can realize EV, series, power direct drive, economic direct drive, parallel drive, and power recovery. A total of 6 power modes can be switched freely to achieve more efficient driving and improve fuel economy. When the Haval H6 DHT-PHEV is powered, the fuel consumption in WLTC operating conditions is only 5.6L/100km, which is quite good among plug-in hybrid models.

Of course, as a plug-in hybrid model, in addition to the low power feeding fuel consumption, the pure electric battery life of the Haval H6 DHT-PHEV also has two versions: 55km and 110km, which can meet the daily pure electric travel needs of most users.

As for performance, the third-generation H6 DHT-PHEV is equipped with a 1.5T four-cylinder hybrid special engine with a maximum power of 113kW and a maximum torque of 233N·m. With the support of a two-speed DHT gearbox, the maximum power of the system is 240kW and the maximum torque of the system is 530N·m.

As for the overall design, it is basically the same as Haval H6. The appearance adopts a new borderless nebula front grille. The whole vehicle adopts an exclusive green alum coating to highlight its new energy characteristics. It is worth mentioning that the car logo also uses the blue background color new energy logo used for the first time.

interior design and configuration are basically the same as Haval H6, equipped with a 10.25-inch LCD instrument + 12.inch central control screen and HUD system, the overall interior design is calm and generous.

So, how competitive is Haval H6 DHT-PHEV?

Today, we will compare the Haval H6 DHT-PHEV 110km smooth version (173,800 yuan) with BYD Song PLUS DM-i 110km flagship PLUS (175,800 yuan) to see which car is more suitable for home users.

brand, although Haval is the SUV category sales champion, there is still a certain brand power gap in the hybrid SUV sector compared with BYD .

price, the two cars are basically in the same range. However, because all the series of Song PLUS is PHEV models and does not have fuel versions, its configuration is richer and the price range covers a little wider.

In terms of core power, although both cars are pure electric range versions of 110km, the technical routes of the two cars are completely different. H6 uses DHT technology, while Song PLUS uses E-CVT technology. The former is mainly oil-electric hybrid, while the latter is mainly electric drive, and only the high-speed engine can drive directly.

Therefore, although the engine performance of H6 is stronger and the motor performance is only slightly disadvantageous, the zero-hundred acceleration performance H6 is only 0.1s faster than the Song PLUS DM-i, which is basically not reflected in daily driving. At the same time, in terms of the minimum state of charge fuel consumption, that is, the feed fuel consumption, H6 should have an additional 1.1L/100km, and its economic performance is average.

As for pure electric battery life, although the two cars have different battery suppliers and different battery energy, they are both 110km, which is the mainstream level. It is worth mentioning that although both cars are equipped with fast charging, the fast charging of H6 can reach 24kW, and the full charge can be achieved in less than an hour, while the Song PLUS is only 18kW, and fast charging also takes more than an hour.

size, the body size of the H6 is slightly smaller than that of the Song PLUS DM-i, but the difference in length, width and height is only within a few dozen millimeters, and the wheelbase itself exceeds 2700mm. It is already a relatively large size among compact SUVs, and there is no problem meeting daily driving and travel. This aspect is not the shortcoming of H6. In terms of configuration of

, as flagships of the car series, the two cars are equipped in all aspects. The assisted driving functions are basically complete, but H6 can realize fatigue detection and lane centering, which are both functions of high-frequency use in daily life.

As for the comfort and technological configuration of the cockpit, they are basically all equipped. In comparison, the H6 has less comfort configuration including front ventilation, second row backrest angle adjustment, front soundproof glass and rear privacy glass. However, there is an additional USB interface, rain sensor wiper, CarPlay, etc. in the front row, which is also a relatively practical function.

Haval H6 DHT-PHEV provides a brand new cost-effective option for the mainstream PHEV market. However, the overall hybrid performance of Haval H6 DHT-PHEV is relatively average, without long pure electric battery life, high performance, and low power and fuel consumption. It is too balanced, so it lacks a sense of presence in the market and cannot build a technical brand. In addition, only top-end models are equipped with fast charging, which also reduces the practicality of mainstream products. If they can be adjusted in configuration and appear in an optional form, they may be more popular with users.

Summary: Haval H6 DHT-PHEV all series configurations are top-end sincerity, coupled with the appeal of Haval brand, I believe it will become the first choice for many old Haval owners to change hybrid models. If you are planning to buy a reliable scooter and are not very sensitive to technology, this car is very suitable for you.

And the biggest core advantage of Song PLUS DM-i is fuel saving. If you pursue fuel economy and cost-effectiveness of buying a car, then this car will not disappoint you.
