Trumpchi E8 Honor Edition 166,800, change the HEV system!

GAC Trumpchi E8 is sure that everyone is not unfamiliar with it. Since its listing, this car has quickly become an absolute hit in the 200,000-class new energy MPV market. To some extent, it has formed a very large competitive pressure on the Odyssey under the same GAC. On various platforms, the E8 is often used for direct comparison with the Odyssey.

Boss, the Trumpchi E8 new energy information you want.

Not long ago, Trumpchi E8 launched a new version, called the glory version. This glory version is completely different from BYD’s glory version. Compared with the original plug-in version E8, the biggest change of the E8 glory version is that it replaces the entire power system. The original is a 2.0LPHEV plug-in system, and the glory version has become a 2.0L oil mix system. The price has also changed compared to the plug-in version. The new car is now priced at 16.68-17 9,800 yuan.

So for this new version of Trumpchi E8, the price has changed, and the power system has also changed. How should I choose between its two versions?

As mentioned earlier, the biggest change in the Trumpchi E8 Honor Edition is its power system. In fact, to be fair, this oil mixing system is actually quite interesting. First of all, the engine is the same as the plug-in hybrid version, or the hot topic efficiency 2.0L self-priming hybrid special engine, with a maximum horsepower of 140 horsepower. Let’s not say that its engine power is not good, let’s read it down first.

This car is equipped with a front 182 horsepower single motor, and the 140 horsepower of the engine adds up to a maximum output of 322 horsepower, which is not weak at all. You may think it is strange when you see this. Don’t oil-mixed cars use the engine as the main force, and the motor is generally very small in horsepower? Why is the motor of the E8 Honor Edition so powerful?

In fact, what’s more interesting is that if you just look at the whole power system, you will find that whether it is engine horsepower or motor horsepower, it is almost no different from the plug-in hybrid version. To put it bluntly, the overall structure of the oil-mixed system on the Honor version is similar to that of the plug-in hybrid version, with only two changes: first, because this is an oil-mixed system, its battery is much smaller than the plug-in hybrid version (which is also the source of its cost reduction and car price reduction), and secondly, because it is an oil-mixed and the battery is small, it cannot be charged directly with a charging pile like a plug-in hybrid. The logic of the entire electronic control system is also a typical oil-mixed logic. In other words, its high-power motor and small battery necessarily mean that the car does not have much pure battery life. It is a very typical oil-mixed car working mode.

However, according to the official data of GAC Trumpchi, the WLTC comprehensive fuel consumption of this car can also achieve 5.58L, and the comprehensive cruising range is not mentioned, but the fuel tank of this car is 60L, and as a fuel hybrid car, the actual fuel consumption is very close to the official standard data (the fuel hybrid car does not have any feed fuel consumption), so this car can actually calculate the actual cruising range of at least 700 kilometers.

The Trumpchi E8 Honor series is divided into two versions, namely the 166,800 Zhizai version and the 179,800 Honor version. These two versions are completely consistent in terms of body size, wheelbase, etc. Equipped with the oil mixing system introduced above, the front McPherson rear torque beam suspension has not changed, but the appearance can still distinguish these two versions, low with front and rear 17-inch wheels, high with front and rear 18-inch wheels.

In addition to the above, there is naturally no difference in the basic configuration such as basic airbags. The price difference between the two versions 13,000 is actually mainly reflected in the intelligent driving system. Highly equipped with a full-featured L2 auxiliary driving system, all mainstream L2-level functions are available, but limited by positioning, this L2-level system does not have any NOA autonomous driving function.City NOAOf course, there is no high-speed NOA. And the L2 system has no low-end configuration at all, so it can be said that the existence of the L2 system is the most obvious configuration difference between the two versions.

Of course, they also have some other configuration differences, such as high with electric tailgate and low with no, high with LED daytime running lights, low with no daytime running lights, the structure of the E8 car does not have a panoramic sunroof, but high with front and rear segmented multiple sunroof, low with only one sunroof in the front row. Of course, high with front sound insulation glass low with no, high with induction wipers low with full manual wipers, high with front with 50W mobile phone wireless charging board low with no at all, high with front seats with heating and ventilation, low with no, high with front co-pilot electric seat, low with co-pilot please adjust manually. High with second row with zero gravity seat, low with no.

To put it simply, the two versions are actually very different in configuration. Obviously, Trumpchi’s positioning for these two versions is very clear. If you are buying a car for home use, it is natural that you should choose a high-end model. After all, the low-end model lacks too many configurations, and these missing configurations are quite important for home use.

But can you say that the low-end car has no purchase value? No, no, the low-end car is actually for business reception purposes. To put it bluntly, it is bought by the rental car company as a reception car, or the company buys it as a company reception car. People with this purpose are very sensitive to price. On the contrary, configurations such as L2 system, zero gravity seats, and whether there is double-layer sound insulation glass in the front row are not important to the needs of business. Anyway, this kind of use is basically driven by a full-time driver.

In fact, we believe that there is still room for adjustment in the price of the low-end version, or Trumpchi actually has the relevant price of government and enterprise vehicles for the low-end version of this car. After all, its low-end version seems to be tailor-made for government and enterprise vehicles.

Seeing this, you will naturally recall the Odyssey, which is an old rival of the E8 car series. In fact, to put it bluntly, these two cars have a history. But since the E8 is now directly competing against the Odyssey, let’s briefly talk about how it and the Odyssey should be selected.

In fact, it is also very simple. The appearance difference between the E8 Honor Edition and the Odyssey is very obvious. If it is a more composed style, then the Odyssey is the first choice. If you prefer a young maverick, then the E8’s headlights can also satisfy you. The appearance alone is actually enough for consumers to make a choice.

As for the low-end version of the E8 Honor Edition, as I just said, this version is for government and enterprise use, and it does not need to compete with other competitors.
