At this stage, pure electric cars and fuel cars have their own drawbacks, pure electric cars, although saving money, but there will always be range, replenishment anxiety; pure fuel cars, although no range anxiety, but in the era of rising fuel prices, the cost of car and relatively high. In contrast, plug-in hybrid cars can achieve long-distance range, but also to ensure the economy, can be said to be "left and right". Today, we also found two 250,000 yuan or so hot domestic plug-in hybrid SUV, they are BYD Frigate 07, Latte DHT-PHEV, today we will discuss the two models who are more worthy of starting.
The price range is 202,800-289,800 yuan for the Frigate 07, which is positioned as a medium-sized SUV, and 229,000-263,000 yuan for the Latte DHT-PHEV, which is positioned as a compact SUV. it is worth mentioning that the Frigate 07 and Latte DHT-PHEV both offer two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive models, both of which are quite rich in options. At the same time, compared to the same level of joint venture models, the price of the Frigate 07 and Latte DHT-PHEV have obvious advantages.
Today we take the frigate 07 2023 DM-i 205KM Premium and latte DHT-PHEV 2022 1.5T 2WD Super Cup (hereinafter referred to as: frigate 07, latte DHT-PHEV) with a budget of about 250,000 yuan, both of which belong to the mid-range models in their respective car series and are relatively popular, so let's take these two models as examples and start today's comparison. (Note: Frigate 07 with the picture for the 2023 DM-i 100KM flagship model)
Exterior: as a family SUV, the shape are in line with the aesthetics of the public?
Appearance link, the frigate 07 and latte DHT-PHEV belong to the family SUV, the appearance of the atmosphere is naturally very important, and both should also meet the public aesthetic, let's start with the appearance of the two talk. The overall lines of the Frigate 07 are very full, visually still has a strong sense of volume, the front of the car with a "big mouth" grille design, and equipped with a large area of LED lights, the visual effect is also relatively impressive. The side of the body, the frigate 07 is relatively heavy, the overall visual effect is very solid. The rear part, the Frigate 07 has a more rounded shape, and the vehicle uses elements such as through-tail light clusters and hollow tail fins, and the overall visual effect is also very individual.
The body lines of the Latte DHT-PHEV are relatively sharp, and the overall visual effect is very tough. The front part of the car, Latte DHT-PHEV adopts a hexagonal style grille, with slender headlight clusters, the overall momentum is more in place. On the side, the lines of Latte DHT-PHEV are relatively spacious, and the design of multiple waist lines enriches the sense of layers on the side of the car, and the overall appearance is not monotonous. The rear part of the car, Latte DHT-PHEV has a thicker shape, but does not lose the sense of layers, and its overall design is more able to meet the public aesthetics. In terms of appearance, I think both the Escort 07 and the Latte DHT-PHEV have a strong presence, and both can meet the public aesthetic.
Interior: space are large enough, Frigate 07 and Latte DHT-PHEV have their own advantages
The interior level, the Frigate 07 and Latte DHT-PHEV overall sense of technology, while the materials used in both are relatively solid, the overall quality of their respective prices, let's also look at the performance of the two cars in detail. The interior layout of the Frigate 07 is very neat, through the outline of lines, as well as the stitching of different materials, enriching the sense of internal layers. At the same time, the Frigate 07 adopts the design of the suspended center screen + suspended LCD instrument panel, the overall sense of technology is also relatively outstanding. In addition, the Frigate 07 uses a large number of leather and tumbled leather materials, with the stitching process, the overall has a strong sense of class.
The interior layout of the Latte DHT-PHEV is also regular, and the car also offers the option of dual color interior trim, and the overall sense of hierarchy is also rich. At the same time, the Latte DHT-PHEV is designed with three large screens, which can directly enhance the overall sense of technology, and its information display is more intuitive, and I think the ease of operation is still good. In addition, the Latte DHT-PHEV also uses a lot of leather materials, and the car also adopts a crystal-style electronic gear knob, the overall sense of class is also quite outstanding. As far as the interior is concerned, the Escort 07 and the Latte DHT-PHEV have different styles, but I think the interior design of both hit my aesthetic spot.
As mentioned earlier, the Frigate 07 and Latte DHT-PHEV are both family-oriented SUVs, so space, comfort, and practicality are naturally the points of concern, so let's read this part in detail. From the size point of view, the frigate 07 length, width and height were 4820, 1920, 1750mm, wheelbase 2820mm, latte DHT-PHEV length, width and height were 4668, 1890, 1730mm, wheelbase 2745mm, the frigate 07 dimensions have a slight advantage. Reflected in the specific space, the overall ride space of the Frigate 07 is also slightly more spacious, Latte DHT-PHEV is also very adequate.
At the seat function level, the front seats of both the Frigate 07 and the Latte DHT-PHEV support electric adjustment, and both have heating and ventilation functions, but the Latte DHT-PHEV has an additional main driver seat massage function.
As for the rear functions, the rear seats of the Escort 07 support backrest adjustment, while the Latte DHT-PHEV comes with seat heating function and "boss button".
The rear seats of both the Frigate 07 and Latte DHT-PHEV support proportional lowering, and the depth of the rear compartment of the Frigate 07 is 980-1950mm, while that of the Latte DHT-PHEV is 975-1855mm. overall, the Frigate 07 is slightly more spacious, while the Latte DHT-PHEV is slightly more comfortable.
Latte DHT-PHEV has more advantages in terms of intelligence
Configuration level, for the frigate 07 and latte DHT-PHEV two prices more than 200,000 independent brand models, we can also put forward higher requirements for the two technology configuration, this part of our detailed look at the configuration of the two cars performance. Intelligent driving level, the Escort 07 is equipped with 14 perception sensors, Latte DHT-PHEV for 23, both can achieve L2 level intelligent driving assistance functions, but Latte DHT-PHEV more automatic parking, automatic lane change assistance, toggle lane change, track reversing and other functions.
At the level of intelligent interaction, both the Frigate 07 and Latte DHT-PHEV are equipped with Telematics system and OTA upgrade function, both of them support voice interaction, online navigation, mobile APP control, and APP expansion, both of them can reach the upper middle level of the industry, but Latte DHT-PHEV has more facial recognition function; in terms of conventional configuration, both the Frigate 07 and Latte DHT-PHEV are equipped with electric tailgate, external discharge, and built-in driving recorder.

Power: Domestic plug-in SUV strong duel! Latte DHT-PHEV' s range surpasses Frigate 07
The power part is our focus today, and the Frigate 07 and Latte DHT-PHEV both use the P1 + P3 architecture, for the basic performance of the two, I personally do not worry, but there are still some differences in the structure of the two, let's also talk about it in detail. From the hardware point of view, both the Frigate 07 and Latte DHT-PHEV are equipped with a 1.5T engine, a large battery pack, a front drive motor, while the Frigate 07 uses the E-CVT electronic transmission, while the Latte DHT-PHEV uses a 2-speed intelligent DHT transmission, which is the difference between the two. In terms of working logic, both the Frigate 07 and the Latte DHT-PHEV are capable of EV, series, parallel, and kinetic energy recovery modes, but the Latte DHT-PHEV has an extra gear after all, which theoretically has better acceleration capability and high-speed economy in its rear section.
In the final product presentation, the Frigate 07 can break 100 in 8.9 seconds and the Latte DHT-PHEV can break 100 in 7.2 seconds; in terms of pure electric range, under WLTC conditions, the range of the Frigate 07 is 170km and that of the Latte DHT-PHEV is 184km, both of which basically belong to the top level in the industry, but the Latte DHT-PHEV has a slight advantage; in terms of economy, the fuel consumption of the Frigate 07 and Latte DHT-PHEV is 5.8L/100km and that of the Latte DHT-PHEV is 5.4L/100km. Overall, the Frigate 07 and the Latte DHT-PHEV have excellent power and economy performance, but the Latte DHT-PHEV still has a small advantage.
Summary: To be honest, both the Frigate 07 and the Latte DHT-PHEV are among the strongest in the 200,000+ price range, both have balanced product power and excellent powertrain performance, but there are some differences in their product power, such as the space level, the Frigate 07 is more spacious, but the Latte DHT-PHEV has richer comfort features; the configuration level, the Latte DHT-PHEV's intelligent driving system, and the Latte DHT-PHEV's intelligent driving system. PHEV's intelligent driving system and comfort features are more comprehensive; at the power level, both the Frigate 07 and Latte DHT-PHEV perform very well, but the Latte DHT-PHEV is more efficient overall. In summary, I personally would recommend the Latte DHT-PHEV more under the premise of a 250,000 budget.
Mouth, the center console large vertical screen is eye-catching, LCD instrument panel is leaning to connect the front windshield layout, through the instrument panel is through the upper part of the steering wheel, and the shape of the steering wheel is also very individual.
