Putting aside the low-end models like Wuling Hongguang, the MPV segment market has been dominated by joint venture brands for a long time. However, with the strong rise of new energy vehicles, Chinese brand MPVs are becoming more and more popular, especially in the high-end segment, the high-end MPVs represented by VOYAH Dreamer, Tengxiang D9, JiZEEKR 009 and Hongqi HQ9) are becoming the mainstream of the market. So among so many products, in the end, who performs better?
Because the price and power system of the four models are different, so let's try to choose their guide price gap is not much configuration for comparison, specific models, choose the Dreamer PHEV 2022 low-carbon version of the dream, DENZA D9 DM-i 2022 970 four-wheel drive flagship type, Hongqi HQ9 2022 Ji Lian flag enjoy version and ZEEKR 009 2023 WE version of the four configurations The four configurations are compared. The Polar ZEEKR 009 is slightly more expensive due to being the only pure tram, while the remaining three models are not too far apart in price.
ZEEKR 009 exterior technology, Hongqi HQ9 exterior advanced, VOYAH Dreamerer exterior powerful
Starting with the VOYAH Dreamer, the car's design is quite sedate and has quite a balance between home and business. The large straight waterfall grille brings a strong enough sense of impact visually, and the large multi-spoke wheels, along with the straight body lines and suspended roof, also bring a good sense of power.
The DENZA D9 also has a strong aura, with a fairly large front grille and a large amount of metal used to outline a sense of refinement. Likewise, with the larger body size and the design of the suspended roof and running tail lights, it brings a strong visual impact.
The Hongqi HQ9 uses the family language of the Hongqi brand in its design. The four flat lines of the body, together with the grille, which is also designed in a straight waterfall style, create a strong enough aura. The car's appearance is still very strong because of the brand effect of the Hongqi logo itself.
The ZEEKR 009 is the only pure electric model among the four models, and it is also the only model with a closed front design. However, its grille shape is quite sharp and can bring a strong impact effect, with the same personality of the headlights, shaping a good sense of future technology. Also the wheels and taillights of the ZEEKR 009 are quite sharp, making this MPV look quite individual.
ZEEKR 009 has a stronger sense of design in the interior
The interior of VOYAH Dreamer is characterized by a triple screen, which does not support automatic lifting like VOYAH FREE, but the design of a large screen is still quite technological, and with the colorful color scheme and simple UI design, the modern atmosphere is still quite strong.
The interior of the Tensil D9 uses many curved designs, a rectangular full LCD instrument panel and a large central control screen, with a double-spoke steering wheel, the design is still very strong. The use of materials inside the car, DENZA D9 is not single, using a variety of materials such as leather, wood grain veneer, chrome, etc., the sense of hierarchy is not bad.
Hongqi HQ9 interior is relatively traditional, under the symmetrical shape, the entire center console has a strong sense of the whole, two large wooden trim panels to create a traditional luxury atmosphere. However, overall, the interior of the Hongqi HQ9 is still relatively simple, unlike traditional luxury brand models that are relatively complex.
The interior design of the ZEEKR 009 is also relatively strong, the interior elements are relatively rich, the use of materials is a collection of leather materials, carbon fiber textured panels and other materials, plus the flat-bottom steering wheel, electronic gear knob and other details, the overall visual effect is still quite good.
Combined with the price, VOYAH Dreamer configuration has a slight advantage
Configuration, part of the active safety warning configuration, active braking, parallel assistance, lane keeping assistance system, fatigue driving tips, full-speed adaptive cruise control, electric rear tailgate, wireless charging of cell phones and other mainstream with, four models are equipped. Other configurations are different, the performance of the Hongqi HQ9 is slightly worse, a number of configurations it is not equipped with, not high cost performance. ZEEKR 009 because the price is relatively high, so it has more electromagnetic induction suspension, heated steering wheel and electric suction doors than the remaining three cars. For the VOYAH Dreamer, it has more night vision system, vehicle summoning system and gesture control function than the other three cars; the DENZA D9 has more lane centering and head-up display system. Overall, the price is slightly more advantageous than the Dreamer.
The seats are wrapped in leather, except for the VOYAH Dreamer, which is wrapped in faux leather, but the rest of the models are wrapped in leather, only the seat layout of Link 009 is six seats. In terms of seat functions, the main and passenger seats and the second row seats are electrically adjustable, and all four models are equipped with heated front seats, main driver seat memory, and heated and ventilated second row seats. Front seat ventilation and second row seat massage functions are only not equipped in Hongqi HQ9.
In terms of space, all three models are larger in size, but there is no overly significant difference. In terms of length, the VOYAH Dreamer is superior, in terms of width and wheelbase, the ZEEKR 009 is superior, and in terms of height, the Hongqi HQ9 is superior, so with a three-row seating layout, there is not much difference in the space performance of the four models.
Compared to the VOYAH Dreamer and DENZA D9, the ZEEKR 009 acceleration performance is relatively bright
The power gap is relatively large, starting with the only fuel model in the four cars, the Hongqi HQ9, which is equipped with a 2.0T engine, matched with a 48V light hybrid system. This engine, matched with an 8-speed manual transmission, has a maximum power of 185kW and a maximum torque of 380N-m, with an official 100km acceleration time of 9.5 seconds. In terms of power output, its performance can only be considered moderate, not much highlight.
In contrast, the acceleration performance of the purely electric-powered ZEEKR 009 is relatively bright. The vehicle is equipped with two front and rear electric motors, with a total motor power of 400kW and a total motor torque of 686N-m. The official 100km acceleration time of the vehicle is 4.5 seconds, which is not only advantageous in MPV models, but also leading in the whole auto market. As for the range, the Link 009 can achieve a pure electric range of 702 km.
Both the VOYAH Dreamer and the DENZA D9 are plug-in hybrid models, of which the Dreamer is an extended-range hybrid. The car is also mainly driven by two electric motors involved in the front and rear, with a total motor power of 290kW and a total motor torque of 610N-m, and an official 100km acceleration time of 6.6 seconds. In addition, it is equipped with a high-capacity battery that can achieve a pure electric range of 82 km, which is moderate.
The DENZA D9 is equipped with a plug-in hybrid powertrain in the traditional sense, mainly consisting of a 1.5T engine, front and rear drive motors, a large-capacity battery, and an E-CVT continuously variable transmission system. Unlike the Lantu Dreamer, the engine of the DENZA D9 will also be involved in the drive, and its system has a combined power of 299kW and a total torque of 681N-m. However, its 100km acceleration time of 7.9 seconds is not particularly outstanding, while its pure electric range (WLTC) is 145km, which is not bad.
Comparison Summary: Each of the four MPVs has its own advantages. The ZEEKR 009, as the only pure tram among them, does not have much advantage in terms of range; the Hongqi HQ9, as a traditional fuel car, has inferior acceleration performance. From a comprehensive point of view, the performance of VOYAH Dreamer and DENZA D9 is more in line with consumer expectations. In other words, I think it's worth considering the VOYAH Dreamer among the four cars.
