All kinds of powertrains, such as pure fuel, pure electricity and hybrid, make today’s automobile market present a prosperous scene. However, pure fuel and pure electric vehicles have their own disadvantages, so HEV hybrid has become the new darling of consumers today. Facing the dazzling hybrid models on the market, how can we pick out the one with the strongest comprehensive strength and the best product strength? After watching Beijing Hyundai Tucson L Hybrid, I believe you will find this answer.
Undeniably, in the HEV hybrid field, Japanese cars have a relatively high popularity in the market because of the early application of this technology in the models, and even there was a rumor that "there are only two kinds of hybrids in the world, one is Toyota and the other is other". This statement may still be valid in the early stage of HEV hybrid technology development. After all, there were few options at that time, but today, with the continuous innovation of technology, this statement has long been broken, and Japan is no longer the absolute king in the field of HEV hybrid. The TMED hybrid system from Hyundai Motor has left a number of Japanese HEV hybrid systems far behind.
The modern TMED hybrid system equipped with Tucson L hybrid won the honor of "one of the most efficient hybrid systems in the industry" as soon as it came out. Compared with Toyota’s hybrid system, TMED hybrid system has all-round advantages such as higher transmission efficiency, lower energy loss, lower overall equipment quality, stronger structural optimization ability and smaller space occupation.
Not only that, Tucson L hybrid has also given a new understanding of the driving pleasure that HEV hybrid models are easy to ignore. The unique 6AT automatic gearbox at the same level can not only get rid of the slightly boring driving experience of HEV models, but also be incomparable in reliability and torque tolerance.
In the fuel economy that HEV hybrid models are proud of, Tucson L hybrid also has certain advantages compared with Toyota’s competing model RAV4 twin engine. Although the WLTC comprehensive fuel consumption of the two vehicles is at the same level, in urban conditions, Tucson L hybrid also has a separate HSG start-up generator, which can provide additional power for vehicles and make them more fuel-efficient in congested road conditions. Combined with the actual urban car scene, Tucson L hybrid is undoubtedly more fuel-efficient.
No matter how excellent the internal TMED hybrid system is, it also needs the face value of Tucson L hybrid to attract jade. Moreover, the face value of Tucson L hybrid is not a "brick", on the contrary, it is the face value ceiling of this class of vehicles. Not only that, Tucson L Hybrid has also launched the 20th anniversary edition this year, which incorporates the titanium gray body color that used to be a "luxury high-performance car" on the basis of the highest value of its class, and is equipped with sports kits with full performance such as red calipers, black wheels, black exterior rearview mirrors and red seat stitching, and customized the 20th anniversary logo at the back of the C-pillar and the seat back, further enhancing the dignity of the 20th anniversary edition of Tucson L Hybrid.
On the other hand, the design of Toyota RAV4 twin-engine and Honda Haoying hybrid models, although they have been trying to move closer to youthfulness and sportiness in recent years, has never been able to get the essence, far less than the natural sense of youth and sportiness of Tucson L hybrid, and the 20th anniversary edition model is a "crit" of Tucson L hybrid on this class of models.
It is worth mentioning that the 20th anniversary edition of Tucson L Hybrid comes standard with an intelligent safety bag worth several thousand yuan on the basis of the rich configuration of Tucson L Hybrid, which includes the functions of FCA front collision assistance, HDA highway driving assistance and NSCC navigation-based intelligent cruise system with the highest daily use frequency and excellent feedback. With the addition of these configurations, the 20th anniversary edition of Tucson L Hybrid has 23 safety-assisted driving configurations, ranking first in its class.
Although the safety configuration of Toyota RAV4 is advanced in the same class, it is still lacking in more intelligent aspects, such as highway driving assistance and intelligent cruise based on navigation. There is still a little gap between the overall advanced level and the Tucson L hybrid.
So refreshing the cognitive product power, will the price of Tucson L hybrid be "unattainable"? The price as low as 185,800 yuan directly dispelled most people’s concerns. Even the coveted 20th anniversary model only costs 206,800 yuan, while the starting price of the Toyota RAV4 twin engine has reached 225,800 yuan, and the configuration of the lowest model is not satisfactory.
Tucson L Hybrid not only has stronger product strength and more affinity, but also provides value-added financial and service policies such as interest-free for up to 3 years, free basic maintenance for life (limited to the first owner) and replacement subsidy of up to 8,000 yuan, further reducing the threshold for entry. At this point, who is the new king of this level of hybrid models, I believe you have been clear at a glance.
