It has been a while since Bitauto’s original GAC Trumpchi Yingku was released. During this period, I also drove the prefabricated car and ran a fuel consumption test, and the results were relatively satisfactory, but this 2.0ATK+GMC2.0 hybrid I'm as curious as everyone about the performance of the system, so I came to the track today to find out its ins and outs.
Introduction to Yingku GMC2.0 hybrid system
The GMC2.0 hybrid system equipped by Yingku is the second generation hybrid system independently developed by GAC. It is composed of a 2.0ATK hybrid dedicated engine + GMC2.0 electromechanical coupling system .
The 2.0ATK engine adopts the Atkinson cycle, with a maximum thermal efficiency of 42.1% and a maximum power of 103kW. The motor data has not been released yet, but the power of the entire system reaches 175kW, which is higher than the Japanese hybrid system. Advantages.
The GMC2.0 electromechanical coupling system adopts a P1+2AT+P3 structure, which on the one hand ensures durability and smoothness, and on the other hand reduces engine high-speed operating conditions to save fuel.
The battery of the GMC2.0 hybrid system can also achieve high-power discharge, with a peak discharge power of 70kW in 10 seconds (discharge at 70kW for 10 seconds in the temperature range of 25-40°C and above 50% SOC), which is even greater The discharge power allows the motor to have better room to perform and provide better acceleration performance for the vehicle.
0-60km/h acceleration 3.94s
Adjust to the sports mode and turn off the body stability system, and use the ejection start method. The engine will be forced to start at this time. The vehicle will raise its head very slightly during the start, and there will be no strong pushing feeling in the car. The whole process will be smooth. .
The acceleration curve is highly consistent with the driving experience. There is no obvious pushing feeling during the entire acceleration process. The cooperation between the engine and the electric motor is also very smooth. There is no large fluctuation in the g value. The acceleration experience from 0-60km/h is relatively good. It is stronger, the g value remains at around 0.4g, and the acceleration in the latter section stabilizes, with the g value stabilizing at around 0.28g.
From the perspective of acceleration time, the acceleration from 0-60km/h is 3.94s. The overall performance is brisk. It can be expected that there will be better dynamic performance in urban working conditions. The overall score is 8.42s. This performance is in line with expectations. After all, There is no large battery to provide large voltage, and it cannot have particularly strong acceleration performance like a pure electric car.
I also tested its acceleration in different ways, such as not using ejection to start or turning off the body stability system. The final results were relatively close. I tested a total of 5 sets of results, 0-60The km/h results are all around 3.9 seconds, and the zero-to-100 times are also quite stable. Moreover, in continuous tests, the vehicle's performance has not declined due to low battery power, which I think is excellent.
Elk Experience
During the test, the vehicle was highly controllable, the steering wheel pointed accurately, and the chassis and steering wheel fed back a wealth of information to the driver. The driver could easily judge where the vehicle's limits were; the body stabilization system intervened softly, There is no feeling of being forced to pull the car, and the rear wheels can be allowed to slip to a certain extent during continuous lane changes, making the body posture better and giving it a certain amount of fun.
Vibration filtering experience
There are two different simulated road surfaces in the vibration filtering experience, one is a continuously undulating road surface, and the other is a continuous speed bump.
In fact, in the previous fuel consumption test, I felt that the chassis of the Shadow Cool was very solid, so I had confidence in its performance when facing the test road conditions.
The actual performance is indeed the same. When faced with continuous large undulations on the road, the suspension system and high-rigidity body of the Shadow Cool can well absorb the small aftershocks of the vehicle, keeping the interior of the car as stable as possible, while facing When driving along speed bumps, there is only a small amount of vibration in the car. It can be said that this chassis maintains a certain road feel and provides good comfort.
AVDC experience
Yingku will be equipped with the AVDC shadow driver function on the 1.5T model. This set of AVDC shadow driver has been installed on the second-generation GS8. The main principle is to combine the body sensor signals and the driver's operation signals, and use the algorithm to real-timely Modify the braking force, accelerator, etc. to make driving the vehicle smoother.
In the field test, turning on AVDC shadow driver has a relatively obvious improvement in vehicle dynamics. After turning on AVDC, the vehicle's roll will be smaller when turning quickly, and the cornering posture will be softer. Passengers in the car Greater comfort.
After turning off AVDC, the vehicle rolls more obviously when merging back and forth quickly, making more detailed movements, and the vehicle behaves more flexibly.
In general, AVDC shadow driver does not improve the sports performance of the vehicle, but helps you drive the vehicle more smoothly. This is better for novice drivers and home users, and if you want to drive To be more radical, just turn off AVDC.
Yingku hybrid version track experience
I can tell you responsibly that the Yingku is an urban SUV. Whether it is the power system, steering wheel feel, or chassis performance, it is more comfortable for home use. I drove it off the track just to see its extreme dynamics. Performance.
The acceleration performance is the same as the performance in the previous zero-hundred test.Focusing on smoothness, this hybrid system can raise the vehicle speed to 130km/h in one breath, but the subsequent power is relatively average. After all, the 2.0 Atkinson engine is not designed for sports, but it can be used for daily high-speed driving. It's more than enough.
The braking feel is very good, and the braking force is also very linear. Basically, you can apply as much braking force as you want.
The vehicle's steering is precise, and the chassis' road feel is relatively clear. Although the vehicle's ability to corner at high speeds is not strong, the driver can clearly perceive the vehicle's limits and use a more appropriate speed to corner.
After stepping on the accelerator after exiting a corner, the power response is also very fast, and the entire hybrid system performs quite well. Overall, the Shadow Cool is an easy-to-drive and easy-to-handle car even on the track.
Yingku 1.5T track experience
The Yingku fuel version uses the same 1.5T+7WDCT powertrain as the Yingbao. The fuel version we tested is still a trial version. The power system matching has not been completed. The experience is only for this model.
Compared with the fuel version and the hybrid version, there are still obvious differences in driving. First of all, it is reflected in the acceleration. The acceleration of the 1.5T is not as fast as the hybrid version. I estimate that the acceleration of the 1.5T should be 9 seconds. Around, slightly slower than the hybrid version.
Furthermore, the power response of the fuel version is not as good as that of the hybrid version, and the response will be slower during rapid acceleration, but in other aspects it is consistent with the hybrid version. If the prices of the two cars are similar, I would recommend buying the hybrid version. moving version.
Full text summary
From long-distance fuel consumption test to track experience, I actually have a deeper understanding of all aspects of Yingku's performance. The Yingku hybrid version is indeed an SUV that is easy to drive and easy to use, mainly in terms of acceleration. It has smoothness, power, precise steering, good vibration filtering effect, and low fuel consumption. It is very suitable for daily driving. I believe it will become a very competitive product among the 150,000-class SUVs.
As a final rule, look forward to its price. How much do you think it is reasonable to sell? You are welcome to leave a message in the comment area, and you are also welcome to interact with me at Station B [Let’s Drive Brother].
