Intelligent electric hybrid is advanced again! Test drive GAC Toyota new generation Lei Ling
Among them, Lei Ling, which entered the China market from 20 14, has always been the backbone of the hybrid power market, ranking 1 in the hybrid power market in China for three consecutive years from 2020 to 2022. Of course, this is also to continue to strengthen the product competitiveness of Lei Ling family. On March 23rd, GAC Toyota's new generation Lei Ling was officially launched, among which the guide price of three new cars with intelligent electric hybrid dual-engine version was 65,438+03.38 ~ 65,438+048,800 yuan.
The most important change of this new Lei Ling hybrid is that it has changed from "double engine" to "intelligent electric hybrid double engine", which means that it is the first to carry the fifth generation intelligent electric hybrid double engine system of Toyota family, and the new car is also the first landing model of this system in China. In addition, the new car also brings the latest generation of Toyota intelligent driver assistance system, intelligent cockpit, intelligent interconnection and many other intelligent technologies, which also indicates that GAC Toyota will continue to accelerate the all-round electrification strategic layout this year.

When Toyota's fourth-generation THS technology was introduced into the electric hybrid vehicle market, GAC Toyota officially brought a new generation of Lei Ling hybrid on March 23rd. More importantly, the appearance of the new car is the first model of the new fifth-generation intelligent electric hybrid twin-engine. The new hybrid technology makes the era of electric hybrid dual-engine officially come, becoming more efficient and explosive!
The power parameters of the fifth-generation intelligent electric hybrid twin-engine on the new Lei Ling hybrid remain unchanged, but the comprehensive power of the 1.8-liter twin-engine system is increased by 12% compared with the previous generation (the maximum comprehensive power of the system is increased by 1 1kW), and the fuel economy is optimized again. Water level (water line or waterline)
According to official information, due to the comprehensive optimization of the three-power system, the new Lei Ling hybrid 100 kilometers has been accelerated to 9 seconds, which is a huge improvement compared with the old models. Moreover, in the 0-60 km/h interval of the initial acceleration stage, the acceleration can reach 4 seconds, and the power output of the accelerated start is more fierce than before, and the improvement of the sense of coolness is very obvious.
In fact, the PSD planetary gear structure of the fifth generation intelligent electric hybrid dual engine is still its core. This time, we mainly optimize the motor, battery and electronic control. Abandoning the old Ni-MH battery, the new hybrid system adopts the newly developed ternary lithium battery, which has reduced the weight and volume and further improved the electric energy. Reducing the energy loss of high-speed motors and power control units and improving the output power are also one of the key parts of new cars. It can mainly help vehicles to improve the possibility of more motor intervention in high-speed environment, so as to realize more motor intervention opportunities, thus improving fuel economy and power output performance.
What many people don't understand is that economic plug-in hybrid cars are so popular now, why isn't the new Lei Ling hybrid directly based on the plug-in hybrid of the fifth-generation intelligent electric hybrid dual-engine? The official explanation is that it is unnecessary. On the one hand, the fifth-generation intelligent electric hybrid dual-engine system on the new car has no endurance anxiety, on the other hand, it is not afraid of cold and extremely hot weather. The most important advantage is that the ternary lithium battery it is equipped with is lighter, which can make the whole vehicle lighter than the plug-in hybrid model at the same level, which is more conducive to fuel economy performance. In other words, when the battery of the plug-in hybrid car is dead, Toyota's intelligent electric hybrid dual-engine has an advantage in theory in the feeding state.
Because it is still based on Toyota's PSD planetary gear structure research and development, after the comprehensive optimization of the three-electric system, the brand-new Ralink dual engine still obtains "full speed domain true hybrid". Simply put, Toyota has equipped its hybrid system with an extremely intelligent PCU, which can make the hybrid system in pure electric or? Pure oil, driving and charging, or in hybrid drive mode, always maintain the highest efficiency. For example, when the vehicle accelerates uphill, the engine load will increase and the fuel consumption will also increase. At this time, Toyota's hybrid system can help the engine bear more loads as much as possible through the intervention of the motor, so that it can be in the most efficient and energy-saving operation range, thus achieving the purpose of reducing fuel consumption.
From the practical experience level, the response and output of the new Lei Ling hybrid start are obviously improved compared with before, and the acceleration of the middle and low speed section is more refreshing to the direct response of the tram. More importantly, its acceleration ability is not as weak as before under the working condition of the latter output, especially in sports mode, its acceleration overtaking experience is finally less laborious, which is commendable.
However, in sport mode, the steering wheel weight strategy will be readjusted. In this driving mode, the feel of electronic power steering is actually quite general, and the electronic smell is too strong. In addition, it should be noted that all new Lei Ling cars have replaced the leather steering wheel with a plastic steering wheel. For people who don't like to wear steering wheel covers, plastic materials are really a bit slippery. For those users who just need it, they can go to the auto parts city and spend dozens more.
In addition to driving faster, the new Lei Ling hybrid becomes quieter, and the new PCU logic suppresses the excessive increase of engine speed this time. Obviously, the engine can still feel the sense of intervention even after the throttle is turned on, but it is not as hoarse as before, and the sound coming into the car is smaller than before.
The chassis of the new car is still the pre-McPherson and post-E-type multi-link. The whole chassis has a strong sense of integrity, which is similar to that of the old models, but the handling part has been improved, mainly because the suspension support is obviously stronger, which is very helpful for building driving confidence in daily road environment.
▲ What other upgrades are there in New Lei Ling?
Note: The appearance of the new Lei Ling car series has not changed much, so we don't do too much analysis. Its overall shape is basically the same as the old one. There are eight options for body colors and three for interiors. Next, we will only introduce the key parts of Lei Ling's product strength upgrade.
In addition to the driving level, the new Lei Ling is mainly equipped with a new generation of T-PILOT intelligent driving assistance system. In addition to the minimum version, the whole system comes standard with the latest Toyota? Sense of security 3.0 zhixing security suit.
The assembly of this function is also the first in the family. In addition to strengthening and upgrading the original five functions (PCS, DRCC, LDA, LTA and AHB), T-PILOT has added three new functions pioneered in the world, namely PDA, EDSS and RSA, which enable it to predict and avoid dangers in advance, and the new driver assistance system also supports OTA upgrade, which is not available in previous Toyota family models. Officials said that this new function will be available in the future.
At the same time, the T-SMART smart cockpit has also ushered in a comprehensive transformation and upgrade. Not only will voice interaction be much stronger than before, but it also has a newly provided 10.25-inch central control screen, which is fully compatible with CarPlay, CarLife and HiCar mapping, and has hundreds of applications. With 12.3 inch full LCD instrument, a brand-new intelligent interactive experience can be realized.
The brand-new Lexus keeps up with the times and almost supports the mainstream functions on the market at present, such as Beep Beep, Gaode, WeChat and so on. Moreover, the display effect of the central control screen is clear, and the UI design is quite good, but the car response is a bit slow, but it may be due to cost considerations. If you want a sense of fluency, it may only appear on other high-end models of the family in the future.
In addition, the new Lei Ling also supports numeric keys, which are based on the "Fengyun Yuexiang" car interconnection system. In addition to realizing basic functions such as remote control, this time it can also realize remote mobile phone control to unlock and check the car condition. Moreover, after the new car supports OTA, with the support of this function, what official functions will be upgraded in the future, and car owners will continue to experience new functions in the future.
Summary of "I have a car": Thanks to Toyota's accumulation in the field of hybrid technology in the past 25 years, from the earliest Prius to the fifth-generation THS II dual-engine hybrid launched for the first time on the Rayling dual-engine, we can really feel Toyota's strong technical endorsement of energy drive.
Standing at the historical high point, GAC Toyota did not stand still. With Lei Ling's product strength, we can see that GAC Toyota will continue to further promote the transformation in the three major areas of electrification, intelligence and technology, and move towards the next million sales volume with the attitude of innovation and change.
