How does the upgraded Fenglanda intelligent electric hybrid twin engine carry out the value-added to the end? We will find the answer through a test drive.

   "evolution" to the electric depth, providing full-speed electric drive sense+full-temperature long battery life.

    In this test drive, from the actual driving experience, the power performance of Fenglanda intelligent electric hybrid twin-engine is satisfactory, and the power response comes more quickly. Abundant power can bring the acceleration ability comparable to pure electricity. During driving, the oil-electricity cooperation is very tacit, and the engine and motor switch or work together smoothly, without any frustration. When overtaking, stepping on the accelerator, strong power output and sustained acceleration ability will be reflected. Because the battery outputs more extra electric energy to the motor when the vehicle accelerates, the engine and the motor drive the vehicle at the same time, so the acceleration performance is better. It is understood that as the first SUV equipped with the fifth-generation intelligent electric hybrid twin-engine, the three-electric system of Fenglanda intelligent electric hybrid twin-engine has been completely innovated. By optimizing the electronic control logic, replacing the lithium battery and improving the efficiency of the motor, it has achieved stronger and more sensitive power output. The maximum output power is 144kW, which is close to 200 horsepower. At the same time, the oil and electricity cooperate tacitly, and the acceleration of 80-120km/h is increased by 15%, which perfectly balances power and efficiency. Whether it is low speed, medium speed or high speed, it has smooth acceleration and easily realizes the extension of acceleration.

    In the corner, the vehicle’s posture is steady, pointing accurately, the suspension supports the body strongly, there is no obvious shaking feeling, and the maneuverability and driving experience are very good. In addition to the road test drive, we also had a performance experience at the venue. Its minimum turning radius is 5.2 meters, and it can be easily controlled in a narrow space. On the bumpy road section made by speed bumps, there is no unnecessary shaking or swaying, and there is no obvious jumping feeling in the back row. With the space brought by the wheelbase of 2640mm, the ride comfort is ensured.

    On the basis of providing users with better driving quality and power experience, Fenglanda intelligent electric hybrid twin engine also provides higher fuel efficiency. During the test drive, during the driving test of more than 100 kilometers, the actual fuel consumption of the vehicle is 4.3L/ 100 kilometers, and the fuel consumption performance is impressive. According to reports, the fully updated three-electric system of the fifth-generation intelligent electric hybrid dual-engine system has made the vehicle more powerful and achieved lower fuel consumption. The energy loss of the high-speed motor equipped with the intelligent electric hybrid twin engine in Flanders is reduced by 19%, the output power of the "strong motor" is increased by 32%, and the fuel consumption of WLTC under comprehensive working conditions is as low as 4.58L/100km. It can travel nearly 1000 kilometers at a time, eliminating endurance anxiety and truly achieving strong power and long endurance.

    Fenglanda intelligent electric hybrid twin engine also uses the newly developed ternary lithium battery. According to reports, the power output has increased by 8%, and the miniaturization of 34% and the lightweight of 44% have been realized, which makes the battery have higher freedom of mounting. The battery of Fenglanda intelligent electric hybrid twin-engine is installed under the rear seat, which does not affect the interior seating space and trunk volume, and also has higher safety.

   Equipped with intelligent driving assistance, it is really smart and safer.

    Using intelligent system to ensure driving safety is another highlight of the intelligent electric hybrid twin-engine in Flanders. The vehicle comes standard with a new generation of T-Pilot intelligent driving assistance. It is understood that it is based on Toyota’s global user big data, based on 12.5 billion kilometers of intelligent driving zero accident data development, with the goal of "zero error", which can avoid 41% of fatal accident driving scenarios. Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 Zhixing Safety Suite is standard, which supports multi-scenario prediction. The newly created PDA predictive active driving assistance system and EDSS emergency driving stop system will greatly "pre-position" risk identification, support OTA remote upgrade, and continuously improve the intelligent travel experience. In terms of passive safety, the whole system comes standard with 7 or more SRS airbags (9 SRS airbags for high-profile models). The new GOA high rigid body based on TNGA architecture is adopted, which has higher safety and more stable driving. During the test drive, it is found that the system can accurately identify the stationary vehicles parked in front, pedestrians crossing the road or slow-moving electric cars and bicycles, and take emergency braking and other measures according to the situation to greatly improve the safety performance.

    The level of intelligence is also reflected in assisted driving. Fenglanda intelligent electric hybrid twin engine is equipped with the same intelligent driving assistance system as the flagship model. Compared with competing products at the same level, Fenglanda’s intelligent driver assistance system has the characteristics of maturity, reliability, comprehensiveness and low threshold. At the same time, adhering to the concept of "equal rights in science and technology", the smart safety technology of luxury car class is poured into compact SUV models, and the overall "smart price ratio" is better.

    It is understood that the Fenglanda intelligent electric hybrid twin engine has realized hardware enhancement, with high-precision cameras and radar sensors all over the car, and a more stable and higher-cost distributed ECU chip sensor, which has stronger perception and prediction ability. Equipped with a 5.4 megapixel forward-looking camera, the monitoring angle reaches 112 degrees, and the sweeping area is increased by 8 times; At the same time, four 1.3-megapixel cameras, four ultrasonic radars and a millimeter-wave radar with a monitoring distance of 340 meters are used. For the first time, the deep neural network DNN technology with AI algorithm is adopted, which can recognize stereoscopic images, and can cope freely in lanes with blurred or unmarked traffic lines, and the cruising duration of lanes is as high as 95%. Further strengthen and upgrade PCS pre-collision system, DRCC dynamic radar cruise control system, LTA lane tracking auxiliary system and LDA lane departure warning system, and add RSA road sign recognition auxiliary system. Two pioneering technologies, PDA predictive active driving assistance system and EDSS emergency driving stop system, are added, which can greatly "pre-position" risk identification and make travel safer. At the same time, it supports OTA remote upgrade to continuously improve the intelligent experience.

    In addition to endurance and intelligent safety, the Fenglanda intelligent electric hybrid twin engine is equipped with Toyota’s latest Toyota Space intelligent cockpit and Toyota Connect intelligent interconnection technology, bringing a number of leapfrog intelligent experiences. Equipped with 12.3-inch brand-new LCD instrument panel, 10.25-inch touch screen, panoramic sunroof, voice recognition control system, "digital key" and other hardware and functions, we are committed to creating a cooler, more fun and more user-friendly third living space for users.
