The 129,900 Dongfeng Fengshen L7 has a battery life of more than 2,000km?

On May 24, Dongfeng Fengshen L7 was officially launched and delivered. The new car is currently launched in 5 models, with limited-time preemptive prices ranging from 124,900 to 156,900 yuan. In addition, the new car will also launch surprise listing benefits at the same time. Users who place an order of 2,000 yuan and lock the order before 24:00 on June 30, 2024 can enjoy five benefits of up to 30,999 yuan.

Dongfeng Fengshen L7, positioned as a compact SUV, has a simple and elegant overall design, and its super good looks leave a deep impression on people. However, for Fengshen L7, the most eye-catching thing is that the new car is the first model equipped with Dongfeng Mach electric hybrid PHREV technology. Not only does it have strong power, but its measured comprehensive range is more than 2,000km.

Energy saving and consumption reduction in all scenarios

In order to solve the energy consumption problem under different working conditions, Mach electric hybrid PHREV adopts the "six trump cards" of high-efficiency electric drive, dual-mode extended range, high-speed multi-speed, three-engine parallel connection, super energy recovery and smart electronic control to achieve full speed. The purpose is to save energy in all areas and all scenarios.

Simply put, it is to adopt a pure electric priority strategy on urban roads and use pure electric mode to drive vehicles as much as possible. The pure electric range of up to 205km under CLTC operating conditions is sufficient for daily use. If calculated based on a daily commuting distance of 40km, no additional charging is required for five working days a week.

When the power in the power battery is about to be used up and it is in a medium-low speed feed state, the dual-mode extended range mode will intervene. Different from the ordinary range extension mode used by other hybrid models, dual-mode range extension is based on series connection and adds power splitting to achieve dual-mode range extension. The engine utilization rate in the high-efficiency zone is increased to more than 95%, which can reduce fuel consumption by 4%.

At high speeds, such as when the vehicle speed exceeds 100km/h, high-speed multiple gears can effectively reduce the engine speed, keeping the engine speed in a more economical range, and fuel consumption can be optimized by 5%.

When the vehicle requires stronger power output for rapid acceleration or climbing, the P1 motor, P3 motor and engine will enter the three-engine parallel drive mode. While ensuring economical energy consumption, power optimization is achieved to avoid energy loss caused by insufficient power.

In addition, super energy recovery is also a highlight of Mach electric hybrid PHREV. It achieves the industry's highest power generation energy efficiency of 3.66kWh/L, and can achieve an "extended range" mileage of up to 130km with full power recycling, which is far better than the industry average.

Of course, the dedicated hybrid engine with a thermal efficiency of up to 45.18% and the AI predictive energy management system-i-Control smart electronic control have also made positive contributions to reducing energy consumption.

Therefore, it is different from many models whose energy consumption will increase significantly at high speeds or under intense driving conditions. The Mach electric hybrid PHREV equipped on the Fengshen L7 can achieve both power and energy consumption in any scenario. "No matter how you drive, you can save money" so that car owners are not afraid of high gas prices and can truly save consumers money.

High configuration, higher cost performance

In fact, most hybrid SUVs of the same level as the Dongfeng Fengshen L7 only have a pure electric cruising range of just over 100km, but it has a pure electric cruising range of up to 205km. And in fast charging mode, it only takes 26 minutes to charge the battery from 30% to 80% SOC. Such performance is unique among compact SUVs in the 120,000 to 150,000 yuan range.

In terms of configuration, Dongfeng Fengshen L7 also continues the Fengshen brand's fine tradition of "large quantity and sufficient management". Such as seat ventilation/heating, 1.08㎡ giant-screen smart panoramic sunroof, Wind-HiFi high-fidelity sound with independent amplifier and 13 speakers, i-Talk smart cockpit with standard Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip, integrated FCW front The L2-level intelligent driving assistance system with collision warning, AEB automatic emergency braking, ACC-S&G full-speed adaptive cruise, LDW lane departure warning, LKA lane keeping assist and other functions, as well as the 3.3kW external discharge function, etc., make Fengshen L7 Quite cost-effective.

Fierce competition and unique advantages

Obviously, Dongfeng Fengshen L7 happens to be in the most competitive compact hybrid SUV market, so it will face a lot of pressure. The most direct competitors are Geely Galaxy L7, BYD Song PLUS DM-i, Changan UNI-Z Smart Electric iDD and other models.

When the prices are roughly the same, we can see that the Fengshen L7's pure electric range, charging speed, and comprehensive range are all "far ahead". For Galaxy L7 and BYD Song PLUS DM-i, they have more advantages in some comfort configurations and technological configurations, and of course the price is slightly more expensive than Fengshen L7. As for Changan UNI-Z smart electric iDD, its biggest advantage is its low price, even the top model is only 131,900 yuan.

Therefore, I think that if you pay more attention to the "hardware" of the car, the Dongfeng Fengshen L7 does have advantages among models of the same level. And if you are willing to spend more money on comfort and technology, Geely Galaxy L7 and BYD Song PLUS DM-i are even better.(xingaonai)
