"Can new energy vehicles eliminate fuel cars", this topic has been debated for many years, first of all, my point of view, at this stage, if you rely only on pure electric vehicles, to eliminate fuel cars, then it is really difficult. However, if you rely on plug-in hybrids, that eliminates fuel cars or there are some possibilities. In the past two years, plug-in hybrid cars are becoming more and more "inside volume", we use the money of fuel cars, almost can also buy a plug-in hybrid car, such as the two protagonists in our comparison link today - BYD Song PLUS DM-i third generation Haval H6 DHT - PHEV, both are currently very hot models, and the price of the two moderate, so how to choose these two cars?
First look at the specific price, BYD Song PLUS DM-i full guideline price range of 152,800-216,800 yuan, the car provides two-wheel drive, four-wheel drive options; the third generation of Haval H6 DHT-PHEV full guideline price range of 159,800-173,800 yuan, the car only provides two-wheel drive models. Overall, the Song PLUS DM-i has a richer choice of trim levels, and the third-generation Haval H6 DHT-PHEV has a lower overall price range, but both are more sincerely priced, almost on par with comparable fuel cars.
The battle between BYD and GWM, most people choose Haval H6
For the sake of fairness of comparison, we try to select two cars with close price and close pure electric range, namely Song PLUS DM-i 2021 DM-i 110KM 2WD Flagship PLUS (hereinafter referred to as: Song PLUS DM-i), and the third generation Haval H6 DHT-PHEV 2022 1.5T DHT-PHEV 110km Smooth Edition (hereinafter referred to as. The third generation Haval H6 DHT-PHEV), taking these two models as examples, let's make a comprehensive comparison of the two vehicles. (Note: Song PLUS DM-i is the 2021 DM-i 51KM 2WD Premium model)
The exterior design of Song PLUS DM-i and the third generation Haval H6 DHT-PHEV may be known to everyone, after all, they both belong to the main models under their respective brands, I think the appearance of both cars are more in line with the public aesthetic, let's briefly talk about the design style of the two cars. Song PLUS DM-i's body lines have a strong sense of three-dimensional, the front of its "big mouth" grille, with the harsh headlights, has a strong visual impact, while the side of the car adopts a through design, the visual effect is also very smooth. In addition, the rear of the Song PLUS DM-i adopts a flat design and the design of the through-vehicle family, and the overall recognition is quite high.
The body lines of the third-generation Haval H6 DHT-PHEV are fuller, and the overall appearance is very big and solid. The front end of the third generation Haval H6 DHT-PHEV also adopts a "big mouth" grille with dotted decoration inside, and the vehicle also adopts a blue background logo to emphasize its identity as a new energy vehicle. On the side, the lines of the third generation Haval H6 DHT-PHEV are fuller and the taller body also looks quite imposing. The rear part of the car, the third generation Haval H6 DHT-PHEV has rounded lines, and the overall appearance is more solid, and the through tail light group can also enhance the overall recognition. I think both the Song PLUS DM-i and the third generation Haval H6 DHT-PHEV can meet the aesthetics of most consumers.
Electric cars interior: as family SUVs, the comfort of the BYD Song plus and Haval H6 is comparable
In the interior segment, the design style of Song PLUS DM-i and the third generation Haval H6 DHT-PHEV is clearly trying to balance practicality and technology at the same time, and in the final product presentation, I think the design of both cars are more in line with my personal preference. The Song PLUS DM-i has a suspended center screen (rotatable) design, which, together with the full LCD instrument cluster, can enhance the sense of technology inside the car, and the physical buttons around the gear knob can also take into account the convenience of blind operation. In addition, the center console of Song PLUS DM-i is designed with multi-layered lines, and the overall sense of hierarchy is richer; The center console of the third generation Haval H6 DHT-PHEV has a simple layout, and the car adopts the design of suspended center control screen and suspended LCD instrument panel, and the visual effect also has a sense of technology. At the same time, the third generation Haval H6 DHT-PHEV also retains some physical buttons in the lower part of the center console, which can also enhance the convenience of blind operation. It is worth mentioning that both the Song PLUS DM-i and the third generation Haval H6 DHT-PHEV have a suspended front island, both of which leave more storage space for the front row, both of which deserve praise.
Configuration has always been the competitive edge of independent brand models, to 2022, in addition to the conventional configuration, we should pay more attention to the intelligent technology configuration, for this type of configuration, my personal philosophy is: I can not use, but not without, this part of us to see the Song PLUS DM-i and the third generation of Haval H6 DHT-PHEV configuration performance. Intelligent driving and active safety level, Song PLUS DM-i and the third generation of Haval H6 DHT-PHEV both support L2 intelligent driving, while both with parallel assistance, reverse car side warning and other functions, the third generation of Haval H6 DHT-PHEV also has more lane centering function, but both are not equipped with automatic parking function, which is a slight regret.
In terms of human-computer interaction, both the Song PLUS DM-i and the third-generation Haval H6 DHT-PHEV come with the Telematics system, and both support OTA upgrades. In terms of specific functions, both the Song PLUS DM-i and the third generation Haval H6 DHT-PHEV can realize voice interaction and cell phone APP control, but the third generation Haval H6 DHT-PHEV has an additional CarPlay screen casting function; in terms of conventional features, both the Song PLUS DM-i and the third generation Haval H6 DHT-PHEV have a panoramic sunroof and electric tailgate, but the Song PLUS DM-i also has an additional front soundproof glass. PLUS DM-i also has additional front acoustic glass and rear side privacy glass, and the third generation Haval H6 DHT-PHEV has additional automatic windshield wipers. Overall, both the Song PLUS DM-i and the third-generation Haval H6 DHT-PHEV are richly equipped, only the details of the two differ.
From the point of view of use, Song PLUS DM-i and the third generation Haval H6 DHT-PHEV belong to the family SUV, space and comfort are also the part that people are more concerned about, let's also look at the performance of the two vehicles. In terms of size, the Song PLUS DM-i is 4705, 1890 and 1680mm in length, width and height respectively, with a wheelbase of 2765mm, while the third generation Haval H6 DHT-PHEV is 4683, 1886 and 1730mm in length, width and height respectively, with a wheelbase of 2738mm, the size of both is still relatively close. Reflecting on the actual space, the performance of Song PLUS DM-i is similar to that of the third generation Haval H6 DHT-PHEV.
As for the front seats, the Song PLUS DM-i supports power adjustment for both the driver and passenger seats, and the front seats are heated and ventilated, while the third generation Haval H6 DHT-PHEV only supports power adjustment for the driver's seat, and its front seats are only heated.
In the rear, both vehicles have air conditioning vents and USB charging ports, but the Song PLUS DM-i has an additional backrest adjustment function.
As for the trunk, the rear seats of both the Song PLUS DM-i and the third-generation Haval H6 DHT-PHEV support proportional lowering, and their carrying capacity is basically at the same level due to the small difference in their exterior dimensions.
Power for plug-in hybrids: the third generation Haval H6 DHT-PHEV is better
For two plug-in hybrids, the powertrain is the key part, and although both the Song PLUS DM-i and the third-generation Haval H6 DHT-PHEV are plug-in hybrids, there are some differences in the structure of the powertrain between the two. The Song PLUS DM-i is equipped with a 1.5L engine, an E-CVT electronic transmission, a front motor and a battery pack, while the third-generation Haval H6 DHT-PHEV is equipped with a 1.5T engine, a two-speed DHT transmission, a front motor and a battery pack. Since the third generation Haval H6 DHT-PHEV is equipped with a two-speed DHT transmission, it will have stronger acceleration in its rear section and it is equipped with a 1.5T engine, which will also bring better power performance. As for the working logic, both vehicles are capable of EV, series, parallel, direct drive and kinetic energy recovery modes, except that the third generation Haval H6 DHT-PHEV can realize two modes: economic direct drive and power direct drive.
In the final product presentation, the Song PLUS DM-i has an engine with a maximum power of 81kW and a maximum torque of 135N-m, its electric motor has a maximum power of 145kW and a maximum torque of 325N-m, the vehicle's 0-100km/h acceleration time is 7.9 seconds, the feeder fuel consumption is 4.5L/100km, and the NEDC pure electric range is 110km; the third generation Haval H6 DHT-PHEV has a maximum system power of 240kW and a maximum torque of 530N-m. The vehicle has a 0-100km/h acceleration time of 7.8 seconds, a feeder fuel consumption of 5.6L/100km, and a NEDC range of 110km.
Another point I think is worth talking about, although Song PLUS DM-i also claims to use the "blade battery", but the essence of its battery pack is still the use of soft cells in series to form a battery pack, theoretically its safety will be lower than the real "blade" used by BYD pure electric vehicles. The third generation Haval H6 DHT-PHEV adopts the "core armor" battery, whose battery pack is wrapped in a high-strength steel case, and the internal module also adopts an aluminum alloy energy-absorbing design, so in theory the battery safety of the third generation Haval H6 DHT-PHEV will be higher than that of the Song PLUS DM-i.
Summary: Since the price difference between the Song PLUS DM-i and the third-generation Haval H6 DHT-PHEV is not much, and both of them adopt plug-in hybrid power, the overall product power of the two vehicles does not differ much in the final product presentation. In terms of configuration, both the Song PLUS DM-i and the third-generation Haval H6 DHT-PHEV perform well; in terms of power, the Song PLUS DM-i has slightly better economy, while the third-generation Haval H6 DHT-PHEV has better power output performance, and the third-generation Haval H6 DHT-PHEV will have some advantages in terms of battery pack safety. In summary, I would personally recommend the third generation H6 DHT-PHEV in the same price range of about 170,000-180,000 yuan.
