Avalon PK Han DM-i, the backbone of the family sedan, domestic really rose!

Han DM-I looks like Porsche, Avalon looks like Lexus ES

In the case of gradually rising gasoline prices, people prefer to choose lower fuel consumption, more cost-efficient models. Thus, hybrid models have become an important choice in people's minds, by the pursuit of domestic consumers, but also in line with the characteristics of fuel-efficient, energy-saving. Today, I'm going to take stock of the two different technologies of the FAW Toyota Avalon and BYD Han DM-i, which represent the backbone of the joint venture and local forces, and analyze where their respective advantages lie.

Han DM-I looks like Porsche, Avalon looks like Lexus ES

In terms of appearance, we all have mixed reviews, each has its own characteristics. In fact, I think, this belongs to the carrot and green, each has its own love. Han DM-i front is Dragon Face2.0 design style, with the two sides of the slender LED headlights to embellish, as well as the middle of the front with a large mouth grille design, so that people feel a strong visual impact, especially chic.

The side of the body, there is now a popular small sliding style, the lines look very clear, slender, the doors are equipped with hidden hidden door handles, can reduce the wind resistance of the whole car. The rear part of the car is much more rounded and full compared to the old model, still using the running tail lights, in line with the current trend, and also used the Chinese knot tail lights, which has more of its own local characteristics, the bottom of the rear increased the piano black decorative parts, looks more eye-catching. The new multi-spoke sport wheels also serve the purpose of enhancing the sense of sportiness, together with the muscular and obvious rear waistline and the sliding back shape, even some Porsche taste.

The front face of Avalon will look more mature and stable. The wide front design, the exaggerated large mouth honeycomb grille in the middle of the front face, from top to bottom in the shape of a trapezoid, layered, and contracted in turn from the outside to the inside. The new upgraded three-eye headlights make the headlights sharper and more fierce, and the whole front has a lot of Lexus ES feeling after the facelift.

The body is almost 5 meters long, which highlights its difference from other cars in the same class, and the design is very three-dimensional and slender and dynamic, which is especially stretching under the sunlight. The taillights look very delicate and also adopt the modern trend of through design, except that the middle section with the English name of the Avalon is only a red trim that does not glow, but it can also make it have a lower visual center of gravity in the case of sufficient light. The exhaust pipe uses a bilateral dual-exit design, and the rear of the car as a whole presents a sporty design style, as well as a dynamic curve design, making the overall appearance quite aggressive.

Interior: Avalon space is more spacious than Han DM-i

Han DM-i is equipped with a 12.3-inch full LCD instrument panel, equipped with a large 15.6-inch screen that supports 360-degree rotation, with a sense of technology, but also has a good human-computer interaction experience. The interior of the cabin is wrapped in leather, very fine and delicate, but the steering wheel feels hard to grip, and the internal padding is not thick enough. The front configuration is also everything, all standard with heated seats, ventilation, electric adjustment, in addition to the lowest, other series are equipped with Danner audio, almost to do "armed to the teeth."

On the contrary, the Avalon's interior as a whole appears to be simple, 7-inch full LCD instrument panel and 8/10.1-inch center screen for the interior to add a lot of points, the center console after straight lines outline can also create a good sense of hierarchy. The more curved air conditioning vents on both sides make the driving view more open, and the low-profile but mature look is the characteristic of the Avalon. The car part is equipped with Toyota Smart Connect, Telematics OTA upgrade, active braking, lane keeping, and back-up camera functions. It is worth mentioning that the Avalon is equipped with 10 airbags as standard, which also ensures the safety of the car's occupants.

Han DM-i overall space is a little bit sorry for the positioning of the medium-sized car, I'm 6'5" body type in the front row to adjust a comfortable driving position, and then into the back of the ride when the leg space is only about four fingers, and the seat height is low, maintain a normal sitting position, the front of the thighs are not supported, slightly overhanging. The good thing is that the Han DM-i seat padding is thicker and softer, and there is a reclining backrest, so the overall ride comfort is still good.

The rear row of the Avalon is not much different from the Han DM-i in terms of legroom, and the headroom will be slightly better. Seat padding is very thick and soft, but the hybrid model due to the battery layout problems will lead to thin seat cushion thickness, in the comfort of the natural than the fuel version slightly inferior. However, with the Avalon comfortable tuning and good quietness, the overall ride comfort is also noteworthy, you can see that Toyota's design standards for the Avalon rear ride is on par with the Lexus ES.

Fuel consumption and Range: Are the Avalon and Han DM-i enough as electric cars?

The Han DM-i is equipped with a 1.5T engine plus electric motor plug-in hybrid system, which is matched with E-CVT continuously variable transmission, smooth and linear enough when driving, very similar to the tram, and there is not too much noise when the internal combustion engine intervenes. The official zero-hundred acceleration is 7.9s, which is enough power for the average family car to get around on a daily basis.

The NEDC combined range is up to 1300km, which is a very high level for a mid-size car. 1300km, for a medium-sized car, this kind of fuel consumption and range, is obviously very good. Avalon is equipped with 2.0L pure oil / 2.5L pure oil / 2.5L oil hybrid three power combinations, with which are matched with CVT / Aisin 8AT / E-CVT transmission. The overall tuning remains comfortable as the standard, and in terms of acceleration, because the 2.5L has a motor support, compared to the pure oil version in low-speed conditions will be much lighter, the absolute power of the general but rapid response, 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 version, only reached 6.2L/100km, but if you switch to the oil-hybrid version, it is as low as 4.7L/100km, such excellent results, can not let people be impressed? Maybe the Avalon oil-hybrid version is a little bit different from the Han DM-i, but considering the non-plug-in factor, this data is good enough.

In the end

In fact, the choice between these two vehicles, not only to focus on the product power of the vehicle itself, but also to look at the license policy of the place where you bought the car and the convenience of using the charging range. As two very representative vehicles, respectively, representing the top technology of oil hybrid and plug-in hybrid, engineers in this aspect of fuel saving, it can be said that a huge effort to meet the needs of our majority of consumers. So if it's you in front of the screen, which car would you prefer? Let's talk about it in the comments section!
