For the sake of a new energy green card, many consumers may have made certain choices when purchasing a car. Either you can’t choose the appearance you like, or there is no suitable brand, or the performance and economy are not satisfactory. A green brand new energy vehicle that can satisfy the whole family, just like your girlfriend/boyfriend Hard to find. Now, the Buick Micro Blue 6 plug-in hybrid version from SAIC-GM is trying to challenge this position. It will not only make many people fall in love at first sight based on its "appearance", but its profound and broad "connotation" will make you unable to extricate yourself after long-term exposure. eConnect2.5 intelligent interconnection, eMotion intelligent electric drive, and Power Split power splitting make Buick Weilan 6 plug-in hybrid version a typical "technical man".
The Weilan 6 plug-in hybrid version still inherits the high-looking design of Weilan 6 in appearance. It is different from the traditional sedan, station wagon and SUV shapes and adopts the MAV (Multi-function Vehicle) The styling design of a sports sedan is highly recognizable on the road and is easy to remember.
Due to the addition of the engine, the micro-blue 6 plug-in hybrid version has further enlarged the area of ??the central air intake grille, adopting a horizontal stripe design, and the upper part extends to the flying wings in the light group. The chrome-plated trim strips are well integrated, stretching the horizontal visual sense of the front part of the car. There is a "hidden secret" inside the air intake grille. It has an active opening and closing function, which allows the engine to reach operating temperature faster when starting to reduce emissions. The grille can also be closed at high speeds to further reduce the drag coefficient.
In terms of size, the length, width and height of the Weilan 6 plug-in hybrid version are 4648×1817×1491mm respectively. Compared with the pure electric version, there are only millimeter-level modifications, so the difference between the two is almost indistinguishable. There is no change in the wheelbase, which is still 2660mm.
The top model of the new car uses larger 18-inch wheels than the pure electric version, and the style has become more dynamic. Paired with it are PRimac Y?4 tires from Michelin, emphasizing quietness and wet handling, with specifications of 225/45?R18.
The rear is the most attractive part of the light blue 6 plug-in hybrid version. The rich side lines outline the shape of a MAV multifunctional sports sedan. You can understand it as a "quasi" station wagon , but it is taller and the rear design is more compact, so it has both large space and the smooth feeling of a hatchback.
In terms of interior, the Azure 6 plug-in hybrid version maintains the same design as the pure electric version. It also adopts a suspended wing-encircling layout. The center console has a large area of ??piano black, with matte plating and Three-dimensional surface decoration simulates carbon fiber material, fine-textured soft-cover material on the dashboard and large-area imitation suede skin-friendly material on the seats. In terms of comfort configuration, the new car is equipped with single-zone automatic air conditioning and rear exhaust vents, and the seats also have heating functions.
The material and comfort of the seats inside the cabin are excellent. They are made of genuine leather combined with suede and blue stitching, which is full of texture.
The Weilan 6 plug-in hybrid version is also equipped with Buick’s latest eConnect2.5 intelligent interconnection system. The 10-inch high-definition central control screen interface is simple and smooth to operate. Functionally, it can realize OTA remote upgrade, Bluetooth mobile phone key, voice recognition, and support smartphone mapping of Apple CarPlay and Baidu CarLife. In addition, services such as NetEase Cloud Music, Koala FM, Amap, etc. can also be found in the car.
Buick has also optimized the intelligent driving assistance system for domestic road conditions and driving habits. The new car is equipped with FCA forward collision warning, CMB collision mitigation system, LDW lane departure warning system, SBZA side blind zone warning, second It replaces advanced active safety systems such as APA automatic parking system.
Buick Weilan 6 plug-in hybrid has a very nice name for its power system - eMotion intelligent electric drive technology. Compared with the electric version of eMotion, intelligence is the most important thing about Weilan 6 plug-in hybrid. reflect. This power system consists of a 1.5L engine, an E-CVT intelligent electronically controlled continuously variable transmission integrated with dual drive motors, and a ternary lithium-ion battery. The system has a combined maximum power of 135kW and a maximum torque of 380Nm, which can achieve a range of 60km. It has a pure electric cruising range and the longest comprehensive cruising range of 780km. The official fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is only 1.4L, and the acceleration time to 100 kilometers is only 8.6 seconds. Both performance and fuel consumption are very attractive.
The engine power of the Weilan 6 plug-in hybrid version comes from a 1.5L displacement naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine. It uses the Atkinson cycle and has a maximum power of 75kW (102 horsepower). Although the data parameters are not Outstanding, but expensive in that it has high combustion efficiency and is very fuel-efficient. This engine eliminates the starter motor, which greatly reduces the weight of the engine; the piston rings, crankshaft and connecting rods also use low-friction technology; the intake manifold is newly designed to focus on improving the torque performance at medium and low speeds, making it easy to Meet the National VI b emission standards.
Buick’s eMotion intelligent electric drive system is Buick’s patented technology, the most critical of which is the high-performance dual-drive motor and dual planetary gear train structure. Simply put, the main motor and auxiliary motor can work alone or together. , and the specific method of intervention is determined by the computer. The double-row planetary gear set is mainly used to make the transmission range wider and achieve better power output under different working conditions.
The E-CVT electronically controlled intelligent continuously variable transmission equipped with Buick eMotion intelligent electric drive has a more compact structure. The main motor is more responsible for driving the vehicle, with a power of 82kW, and the auxiliary motor is more responsible for charging, but it can also generate 49kW of power. Finally, with the help of power split technology (Power Split), this power system has multiple working modes. Its advantage is that it can eliminate power reduction when the battery is low, allowing the driver to feel the power at all times. abundant.
In terms of battery, Weilan 6 plug-in hybrid version also shows off its special skills. It uses a ternary lithium-ion battery provided by LG. The battery pack composed of 104 battery cells has a rated power of 9.5kWh. . The most distinctive feature is its cell-level intelligent temperature management system. This is due to the water channel thermal conductivity layer between each two cells, which is like a capillary blood vessel and can accurately control the temperature of each cell regardless of the temperature. Whether the ambient temperature is a severe cold of -35°C or a scorching heat of 55°C, the temperature of the battery can be maintained between 20-30 degrees? This ensures the life and safety of the battery.
The Weilan 6 plug-in hybrid version only has three driving modes-normal, sport and locked. The normal mode is suitable for urban driving, and pure electric driving is used when the battery is sufficient; the throttle response in the sports mode will be more sensitive and can be used for some intense driving; the more distinctive one is the lock mode, which can also be understood as battery maintenance. mode, the vehicle will let the engine work to drive the generator to maintain the current battery power.
In daily urban commuting, the electric motor drives the Weilan 6 plug-in hybrid version most of the time in the initial stage. At this time, the advantages of electric vehicles are reflected, and the power output is very light and steady. . Even if the engine is involved in work, the noise and vibration that can be felt in the car can be well suppressed. The driving texture of the vehicle is very close to that of a traditional fuel vehicle. Even in electric drive mode, the throttle does not feel abrupt at all, and the overall performance is very linear.
When switched to the locked mode, the Weilan 6 plug-in hybrid version will be "forced" to use a gasoline-electric hybrid drive, and the engine will participate in the drive. At this time, the Weilan 6 plug-in hybrid version will be a standard car. It is a hybrid model, but you can hardly feel the intervention of the engine, and the power output is still very smooth. ?
In addition to the D gear, the Weilan 6 plug-in hybrid version also provides an L gear. When the vehicle is driving in D gear, kinetic energy recovery is basically unnoticeable, which can provide the most comfortable driving experience; when using L gear, the intensity of kinetic energy recovery will be greatly increased, and the drag caused by deceleration after releasing the accelerator pedal The feeling is more obvious.
Editor’s comment: Weilan 6 plug-in hybrid version has a lower price, longer battery life, and easier to obtain license plates, etc. As a sports utility vehicle, it also has excellent space and practicality. After being equipped with the eMotion electric drive system, the driving experience of the vehicle has even been improved compared to the pure electric version. If you want to buy a plug-in hybrid SUV with good overall strength in the RMB 150,000-200,000 range, the Weilan 6 plug-in hybrid version is obviously a good choice.
