However, after the preheating of LaCrosse eAssist, Regal 30H and other hybrid models, Buick's Velite family made a comeback, deliberately adopting a simple literary name "Little Blue". Just at the past Chengdu Auto Show, Micro Blue 6? PHEV and Micro Blue 7 pure electric SUVs are officially launched, and the pricing is 15.98- 17.98 and17.98-199,800 yuan respectively.
A new pale blue face.
As a relatively new car for consumers, Micro Blue 7 has left a deep impression on us with its unique three-dimensional geometric cross-section and smooth body line outline, which is neither abrupt nor mediocre. Its most iconic is the penetrating LED strip, which echoes back and forth. It is modern enough and the style of boomerang is very recognizable.
Although Micro Blue 7 is positioned in a small SUV, its body size has reached 4264×1767×1618 mm, with a wheelbase of 2675mm and a wheelbase ratio close to 63%. Moreover, the rear floor is very flat, which makes its interior space very spacious, and the ride experience in the car is no less than that of a compact SUV. Light blue 6? The body of the PHEV has reached 4648×1817×1491mm, and the wheelbase is 2660mm, which is also a flat floor, and the head space is larger than that of an ordinary car.
In contrast, light blue 6? The design of PHEV is closer to the familiar Buick family style. However, its most striking thing is the cross-border style body, which Buick calls MAV (multi-activity? Vehicle), which means multi-functional sports car. It has the same driving experience as a traditional car, but it provides more riding and storage space. Compared with MPV and station wagon, the front suspension of MAV is more compact, and the completely different roof direction makes the body shape smoother and more dynamic.
The bodies of the two cars are elegant starlight blue, just right, and the color has also formed one of the iconic elements of the micro-blue family, which also highlights its identity as a new energy source.
Light blue 6? Both PHEV and Micro Blue 7 adopt relatively simple interior design, equipped with 8-inch full LCD instrument and 10-inch central control screen. Micro Blue 7 also uses a streaming rearview mirror and a brand-new key shifting mechanism.
On the basis of general OnStar, Buick eConnect intelligent interconnection technology has Super? ID personal account, Bluetooth key, cloud natural speech recognition and other functions, and support Apple? CarPlay and Baidu CarLife mobile phone map, iBuick? APP can also realize car charging operation, remote control, smart home, ar smart car book and other car and life services.
Light blue 6? PHEV adds a card menu to the main interface, while Micro Blue 7 is still an icon interface. Micro Blue 7 deeply integrates Baidu's artificial intelligence car networking. In addition to Baidu map, Baidu voice interaction and casual listening, you can also download cool music, listening partner, Himalayan FM, Fei Changzhun and other common applications. , can be associated and managed through personal accounts.
We can also directly query violations, stocks, movie tickets, news information and so on through the system. Of course, you will always get the support of OnStar. If you buy a car, you will get 100G of car-linked application traffic every year.
An electric car with one foot open.
Light blue 7 and light blue 6? PHEV and Chevrolet Bolt use the same BEV? 2 platform, adopting eMotion intelligent electric drive technology that GM is currently responsible for, which is also the most important application in the new energy field under the framework of universal emotional drive system.
On the Micro Blue 7, GM equipped it with a high-efficiency permanent magnet synchronous motor with a deceleration unit, with a maximum power of 130kW and a peak torque of 360Nm. It uses LG Chem's 55.6kWh ternary lithium battery, and the battery life of NEDC can reach 500km. At the same time, the system adopts a dual-channel water cooling system, and the battery pack can be cooled/heated to keep it at the optimal temperature through the intelligent temperature management system at the cell level. In addition, Buick also carried out battery cell foam isolation, then stamping ultrasonic welding, IP67 sealing and other treatments, and conducted more than ten limit tests that exceeded the standard.
In the standard mode, light blue 7 starts lightly, but it will not be too "impulsive". The acceleration and deceleration are very smooth, which makes it easier for you to get started without any sudden feeling. But in sport mode, the whole throttle responds faster and the steering force is heavier, which makes you fully appreciate the fun of electric vehicles. But these are conventional, and Che Yun's favorite is its OPD single pedal mode.
As long as you press the button behind the shift area and the dashboard gives a prompt, we can enter the mode of single pedal control acceleration and deceleration. Although we saw this setting for the first time in the wind a few years ago, many models now have this function, but the light blue 7 always stops the vehicle after you completely lift the pedal, and it has the Autohold function, which is basically unique.
This setting completely solves the problem that the right foot switches back and forth between pedals. Whether it is the smoothness of deceleration or the braking force after full lifting, it is no different from ordinary driving. Che Yun hardly touched the brake pedal in OPD mode, only the accelerator pedal was enough to control the vehicle driving in the city, and the passengers in the car didn't feel anything strange.
In addition, the position of the paddle on the left side of the steering wheel is the key to enhance the kinetic energy recovery of ROD. As long as you pull back, you can start a strong recovery mode. At this time, the deceleration degree and recovery intensity of the vehicle will increase additionally, which is equivalent to a disguised economic model.
So you can experience four energy recovery modes, namely "standard mode", "OPD single pedal mode", "pull rod one-button enhanced kinetic energy recovery" and "OPD single pedal mode+pull rod one-button enhanced kinetic energy recovery". The recovery intensity is from weak to strong, and the standard mode
The most textured PHEV in its class.
Buick light blue 6? PHEV also adopts Buick eMotion intelligent electric drive technology, but its core components have become the ternary lithium-ion power battery composed of E-CVT intelligent electronically controlled stepless gearbox, high-performance dual-drive motor, LG battery and 1.5L? DVVT four-cylinder engine. Among them, the double-row planetary gear set is a general patent design, two motors can participate in driving or generate electricity independently at the same time, and there are two continuous variable speed ratio intervals+1 fixed speed ratio, so both the engine and the motor are in the high efficiency area under high-speed working conditions.
This 1.5L? DVVT four-cylinder engine is specially developed for plug-in hybrid power system. A large number of lightweight and low-friction new technologies are applied to achieve more efficient and smooth power output, so power itself is not its strength. However, with the help of the motor (the capacity of LG ternary lithium battery is 9.5kWh), the comprehensive power of the system can reach 135kW, and the comprehensive torque is 380Nm, which is basically the mainstream level of 2.0T.
But more importantly, micro blue 6? PHEV adopts the best PS Power shunt technology in the industry (Power? Split), which continuously combines the energy of engine power source and motor power source under all working conditions. In fact, if Che Yun doesn't stare at the power indicator light on the dashboard, he will hardly notice any oil-electricity switching and gearbox shifting intervened by the engine, which is smooth and natural. Moreover, its 60km pure battery life can meet the commuting in most cities, and its comprehensive battery life can reach 780km. The system logic is more inclined to use electricity, so it is slightly blue 6? PHEV can also have the advantages of portability, quietness and economy of electric vehicles.
On the other hand, it's not much like an electric car. Light blue 6? PHEV is independently suspended by the multi-link structure before McPherson, which is very soft at the initial stage, and basically does not feel all kinds of bumps on the road surface, which adds a lot to the comfort of urban commuting. However, it is not blindly soft. When you turn quickly or experience ups and downs, the chassis is stable enough and won't give you too much shaking.
This is the advantage of Buick as a traditional OEM. In contrast, the new forces of building cars and self-owned brand electric vehicles often have some small awkwardness in some details, but the technical accumulation of GM for many years has made them more mature in vehicle adjustment. In addition, the materials and sound insulation level of the whole vehicle are excellent, so it is slightly blue 6? PHEV's driving experience is more advanced and textured, and it is more in line with our current expected feelings about a car. Except that it is too fuel efficient, it is no different from driving an ordinary fuel car.
In addition, light blue 6? PHEV and Micro Blue 7 also set three different charging modes. In addition to the most basic plug-and-play charging, we can also choose delayed charging to save money. We can set geographical location memory, target power and low electricity price period. Light blue 6? PHEV has also specially set the power lock mode, which can manually keep the battery power, and can use the power in time if there is traffic jam behind.
Che Yun abstract
While independent brands and newly-built cars are vigorously developing pure electric vehicles, joint venture car companies have not yet become a climate in pure electric vehicles. As a representative of the joint venture camp, Weilan 7 attracts more consumers who pursue maturity, texture and cost performance than the other two by virtue of its advantages in technology and experience. Although the application of many new technologies makes the cost of Micro Blue 7 and the price of17.98-199.8 million not low, what is more important is that it is worth the money.
Light blue 6? PHEV's main competitor is naturally Toyota's hybrid car. 15.98- 179800 is much more cost-effective than Corolla/Lei Ling E+ which started at 200,000, not to mention more space, stronger power and longer battery life. Facing the independent brands such as BYD, Geely and SAIC, the product quality and advantages of Buick brand are more obvious.
To tell the truth, the blue family of Buick really left a good impression on Che Yun this time. The combination goal of "Extraordinary 6+7" is clear, which is to reflect the value of new energy vehicles of the joint venture brand. Moreover, we also see the advantages of the combination of new energy and traditional car companies in them, and believe that they have sufficient potential and growth space in the market.
