As fuel prices rise, new energy vehicle models are attracting more and more attention. In the past, when consumers chose new energy vehicles, most of them preferred Japanese joint venture brands, but as independent brand new energy vehicles began to emerge in the market, the situation was also quietly changing. For example, the recently launched Haval beast Lemon Super Hybrid DHT has subverted people's stereotype that hybrid models are far more expensive than fuel vehicles. Such a pricing strategy can be said to have completely broken the market structure of existing hybrid SUVs. However, can such a popular hybrid model be as powerful as pricing? In addition to the fuel-saving advantages brought by hybridization, what other commendable performances are there?

In order to verify the true strength of Haval beast Lemon Super Hybrid DHT, we specially invited Shao Qing to join this test. Shao Qing is an absolute automobile expert. He has been the referee of the China Automobile Diagnostics Master Competition since 2015. He also has the "Auto Engineer Examiner Certificate" issued by the Ministry of Transport and has been specially invited by many provincial and municipal media as a car commentator or column writer for a long time.

The items in this test include: engine vibration test, vehicle acceleration test, non-paved road driving comfort test, and in-car noise test. In order to give everyone a more intuitive feeling, we did not adopt the relatively complex and boring test methods in the past, but tried to intuitively present the actual performance of this Haval beast Lemon Super Hybrid DHT in the above aspects in a simple, clear and easy-to-understand way.

Unfortunately, when testing engine vibration project, we encountered some "small episodes", because the Haval beast Lemon Super Hybrid DHT uses a very intelligent hybrid system, and the engine will not start and participate in the work in most scenarios when waiting for traffic lights in place or driving at low speed. Fortunately, the experts were present, and a little trick was used to solve this "difficulty". In the process of testing the engine vibration amplitude, we can not only place a pen smoothly and vertically above the engine, but also the professional vibrator also gives the amplitude parameters of this engine: 2.0 meters/s². This value is considered a relatively excellent performance in the four-cylinder engine . Expert Shao Qing also explained this: Since this engine adopts the Miller cycle working principle, its characteristic is that the compression ratio of the engine is smaller than the expansion ratio, which means that the engine is working, the gas in the cylinder will burn more fully and the thermal efficiency will be higher. Especially under low load conditions, the combustion effect is not only good and fuel-efficient, but also can suppress the occurrence of engine knocking phenomenon, so the smoothness of the engine operation will also be better.

The second test is the vehicle acceleration performance test. Although acceleration performance is not the strength of SUV models, and this car is equipped with only a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine, thanks to the intelligent DHT architecture, compared with other single-speed series and parallel architecture hybrid models, the wheel end torque of the Haval Beast Lemon Super Hybrid DHT is 300 Nm greater, so it can achieve 0-60 km/h and 4.0 seconds acceleration time, and 0-100 km/h is 7.7 seconds. It is not surprising that it can achieve such an excellent result.

Haval Beast Lemon Super Hybrid Although DHT is just an urban SUV, it is inevitable to encounter some harsh road conditions, so it is still necessary to test the driving comfort of this car on non- paved road surfaces. The traditional test method is to drive the car to a professional test site and fix the vehicle on the test equipment, and to evaluate the comfort through the vibration generated by the equipment and the values ​​and waveforms of the sampling instruments in the vehicle. This time, we adhered to the principle of "no matter how excellent the value is and how good the waveform is, the user must make a judgment", and adopted a "simple and crude" approach - by driving directly on non-paved roads, experts Shao Qing and Teacher Qi Yu who "read countless cars" made subjective evaluations on the driving texture of this Haval beast Lemon Super Hybrid DHT.

Haval beast Lemon Super Hybrid DHT has indeed lived up to expectations and has shown quite advanced texture and toughness on the rugged non-paved road surface. When encountering road impact, the suspension resolves vibration thoroughly, and the feeling transmitted to passengers is not stiff, and there will be no excessive noise. Especially when facing continuous bumps, the suspension movements show no signs of "panic", and it can still deal with high-frequency vibration impacts calmly. At the same time, the transparent chassis, steep slope descent, and uphill assistance provided by this car also left a deep impression on us.

During the test, the complete intelligent driving assistance function of Haval Beast Lemon Super Hybrid DHT played a big role. Its new advanced intelligent driving assistance system is a rare configuration even in higher-level models. Take the smart cornering function as an example. The software system will calculate based on the lane line curvature identified by the vehicle and reduce the vehicle speed to a comfortable cornering speed in advance, making the driving process more comfortable and safer. In the past, this kind of function was optional for mid-to-high-end models, and it was really surprising that it appeared on the Haval Beast Lemon Super Hybrid DHT.

This test is a "challenging" project for most compact SUVs: noise testing. Because the intelligent DHT technology adopted by Haval Beast Lemon Super Hybrid DHT can realize six power modes: EV driving, series drive, power direct drive, economic direct drive, parallel drive, and energy recovery. For example, the speed below 60 km/h is automatically switched in series: use EV if there is electricity, and switch to series when the power is low. When entering a cruise state of more than 60 km/h, the power system will switch to engine direct drive mode. When overtaking, the power of the direct drive mode cannot meet the needs, and it will automatically enter the parallel mode where the engine and the motor work together.

We conducted noise tests in EV mode and engine series at a speed of 60 km/h respectively. The test results are: 59 decibels in EV mode and 62 decibels in engine series mode, which is a very excellent noise level. In this regard, expert Shao Qing explained: "The NVH control of the vehicle is not just the stacking of sound insulation material , but also needs to be matched with good body rigidity." This Haval beast Lemon Super Hybrid DHT not only uses a large area of ​​ high-strength steel and 3DP body, but also has made more than ten optimizations for the engine's high-precision air distribution mechanism , silent chain, and high-silence structure design of the intake and exhaust gas, so it can present such an excellent silent effect.

Some people say that today's independent brands have many additional functions, but I don't know if the basic skills in automobile quality have been solid. Through our regular and unconventional tests, it can be said that the Haval beast Lemon Super Hybrid DHT is not only very solid in basic skills, but even reaches an excellent level. Judging from the excellent performance of Haval beast Lemon Super Hybrid DHT, today's independent brands have indeed made great progress and progress, and all of this is what we really hope to see, because consumers will be the beneficiaries of all this.
