Among them, the annual Ward's Top Ten Engine is the most representative selection, which has a history of 25 years, and is made by Ward's Automotive World (Ward's? Cars? The world? ) was established and it is also the oldest engine choice in the world.
However, seeing today's list and the die-hard powder of No.92 gasoline in the bones, it is estimated that you will vomit an old blood. After all, some strange models came in-
For example, Honda without a red-headed machine, Hyundai without a piston engine ... for example, Honda without a red-headed machine, and even Hyundai with a charging gun. ......
In fact, this is not the first time that the list has been baptized by the new energy wave. While the potential of traditional internal combustion engines is constantly being tapped, various forms of pure electric drive systems are constantly emerging. So today, let's take a good look at the new energy vehicles on these lists.
Add a motor battery quietly, and no one should find it.
In fact, as early as 200 1, the Toyota Prius first appeared in the list as a THS hybrid, which opened the prelude to the entry of motor batteries into the list. However, due to the age is too long, let's talk about 15.
■ Honda i-MMD Hybrid System (Accord Sharp Hybrid)
Enter the top ten list of 2017,2019,2020.
Firstly, the Honda 2.0L Atkinson cycle naturally aspirated inline four-cylinder engine +i-MMD hybrid system is introduced, and the representative model is naturally Honda Accord. After all, it entered Ward's top ten winners list, and it was always compared with Toyota's THS, but this time Toyota didn't win the prize, and Honda won the championship again.
In principle, Honda i-MMD system is relatively simple and rude, without Toyota THS? The planetary gear mechanism of II is so complicated that the engine can drive the wheels directly through the clutch and output through the motor, which is such a dual-motor indirect hybrid power system. Slow and steady, even catching up, unconsciously entered the list in three years.
■ Toyota 1.8L self-priming engine +53kW motor (Prius)
Enter the top ten list of 20 10 and 20 16.
Maybe Honda has been showing off on the list in recent years, but don't forget that the pioneer cow is the THS of Prius, 1.8L straight four-engine (Toyota Prius). Toyota's Atkinson cycle technology makes its thermal efficiency reach 40%, which is also the reason why Toyota is relatively fuel-efficient.
As a pioneer in the hybrid market, Toyota Hybrid has been intensively cultivating. Toyota's hybrid engine won the top ten engines six years ago. However, after the arrival of the fourth-generation Prius, although the core is still the same thing, it can be said that it has achieved the ultimate through the continuous optimization of Toyota.
■ Toyota THS? II (Camry twin engine)
Enter the top ten list of 20 18.
Since we are talking about Honda, how can we not talk about Toyota's THS? Two. Through the unique planetary gear set, the speed of the vehicle itself does not determine the engine speed, and the load of the vehicle does not determine the engine torque. As long as the vehicle is running, the power must be output through two motors of the planetary gear mechanism. The advantage of this is that no matter the driving conditions or the state of the battery, the best engine speed can be obtained according to the current working conditions, so that it is always in the most economical working range.
In addition, although it is a hybrid system on the list, it is undeniable that the performance of its single 2.5L fuel engine has increased many points for this list, and in terms of version, the combustion thermal efficiency has increased to 465,438+0%, which is also the engine with the highest combustion rate in the world at that time.
■ Toyota 2.0L naturally aspirated engine+dual-motor hybrid system (Lexus UX260h)
Enter the top ten list of 20 19.
Please don't forget Toyota's luxury brand-Lexus, whose UX260h is equipped with the latest developments? Force series 2.0L engine peak power 107kW, peak torque180N m ... The motor maximum power is 80kW, the maximum torque is 202n·m, and the system comprehensive maximum power 132kW is matched with an E-CVT gearbox. The biggest feature of this hybrid system is that the thermal efficiency is as high as 465,438+0%, and the comprehensive fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is 4.6 liters, which is particularly economical.
It is worth mentioning that the hybrid system has always existed as the top configuration in the car series, but the Lexus UX250h is not. Lexus UX was officially launched, with a guide price of 268,000 ~ 376,543,800+RMB. Lexus UX is built on GA-C platform under the framework of Toyota TNGA. * * It is divided into six models, including five hybrid vehicles and 1 fuel vehicles.
There is only one fuel model in the car series, so it's really not embarrassing to mix them first!
As long as the product is powerful enough, even charging is acceptable!
Yes, it is true that two fields dominate the hybrid industry, just like the China market and even the list of American companies. However, in order to prevent monopoly and encourage innovation, some powerful hybrid systems can still be broken through, and the disadvantage is plugging in.
■ Chevrolet 1.5L engine+120KW motor (volanda; Extended program mixing)
20 16, 20 17 and 20 18 entered the top ten list.
Chevrolet's first generation Volanda is just a test product, so the effect is not very good, but GM insisted on continuing to study new energy vehicles, so there is today's second generation Volanda. Of course, the core thing of Volanda is the combination of 1.5L self-priming engine and dual motors. Since then, I have been on the list for three consecutive times and have to accept it.
Unfortunately, compared with other new energy vehicles, the development of extended-range electric vehicles can not be described as "very smooth", and its corresponding competitiveness is relatively small.
■ Chrysler 3.6L naturally aspirated V6 engine+motor (Pacifica；; Plug-in hybrid vehicle)
Enter the top ten list of 20 17 and 20 18.
Grand Jetron PHEV with a set of 3.6L? The plug-in hybrid system consisting of V6 Atkinson naturally aspirated engine, dual-drive motor and 16kWh battery * * * has a pure battery life of 68km, and the official claim is that the acceleration of 100km is 8.8 seconds, and the comprehensive fuel consumption is 2L/ 100km. You should know how precious the 3.6L self-priming V6 is in this politically correct era of small-displacement turbines. However, the plug-in hybrid version does not match the 9AT gearbox, but uses the E-CVT gearbox. This power system can output a comprehensive power of 225kW.
Dajielong PHEV puts the engine, dual-motor electric drive transmission and inverter in the engine compartment, while the lithium-ion battery pack is placed under the second row of seats, which can reduce the occupation of the interior space. Because the battery is arranged under the chassis, the chassis is also equipped with a thick metal guard plate, which can further reduce the center of gravity of the car body.
■ Modern 2.0L naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine +50kw motor (Sonata; Plug-in hybrid vehicle)
Enter the top ten list of 20 16.
Sonata plug-in hybrid equipped with TMED hybrid system consists of five core components: 2.0L engine, HSG motor, clutch, permanent magnet synchronous motor and 6-speed automatic manual transmission. The pure cruising range is 75 kilometers, and the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is only1.3l. Moreover, the Sonata PHEV is also a cost-effective model recommended by this small series-the subsidized price is18.98-223,800. To buy a green medium-sized car, this discount requires a bicycle.
It is not easy for Korean cars to grab a position in the hands of foreign powers! (Warning: Korean cars will continue to steal the camera)
■ Hyundai KONA? electric vehicle
Enter the top ten list of 20 19 and 2020.
The next three award-winning cars are all serious models without internal combustion engines. For the engine list with a history of more than 20 years, the cars that can be listed are of great significance to the times.
Kona? EV has 39.2kWh and 64kWh battery specifications, and the maximum cruising range is 300 km and 470 km respectively. Power, Kona? The maximum power of the motor equipped with EV entry model is 135PS(99kW) and the peak torque is 395n·m, while the maximum power of the motor equipped with EV entry model is 204PS( 150kW), and the acceleration time of 0- 100km/h is 9.3 seconds and 7.6 seconds respectively, with the highest. Kona? EV has 39.2kWh and 64kWh battery specifications, and the maximum cruising range is 300 km and 470 km respectively.
I put it at the beginning of a pure electric vehicle because Bian Xiao still has a little thought to introduce its sister model-Onsinoev. 1October 4th, 165438+ The pure electric version of Beijing Hyundai Anseno was officially launched, and the new car * * * launched three models, with the price range of 17.28- 19880 yuan and the NEDC battery life of 500km. Want to experience Ward's top ten power systems? Anginot might as well give it a try.
■ Chevrolet bolt
Enter the top ten list of 20 18.
Chevrolet bolt? EV is a hatchback pure electric compact car launched by General Motors 20 16, aiming at the soaring Nissan Leaf and BMW i3. Facts have proved that its strength is really good, and its sales have been leaping forward since its release. Chevrolet Bolt with basic configuration? The starting price of EV in the United States is $37,000, which is not cheap, but it still attracts many consumers to pay the bill. In the first half of 20 18, the sales of this model alone in the United States reached nearly 8,000.
In terms of reliability, Consumer Report also gave it a 4-point evaluation. Chevrolet bolt? EV is equipped with a 60kWh lithium battery pack, with the maximum 149kW, the acceleration time of 0-96km/h is only 6.5s, and the battery life of EPA is 383 km.
■ BMW i3
Enter the top ten list of 20 15.
The maximum power of the motor on BMW i3 model is 127kW( 170 HP). With this motor, the acceleration time of BMW i3 model is only 7 seconds per 100 kilometers, and the vehicle performance is excellent. 127kW motor is the only motor among the top ten engines of Ward 20 15, which is worthy of recognition. Moreover, as the first step of electric shock for luxury brands, BMW i3 is of great significance to the promotion of new energy vehicles.
What's more, you can be on the list without burning electricity or oil.
In other words, even pure electric vehicles will be criticized for battery pollution and difficulties in subsequent treatment. But at present, there is one kind of energy that is least controversial from the perspective of environmental protection, and that is hydrogen energy.
How can the authoritative list miss this hot spot? Although it doesn't burn electricity or oil, as long as the technology is good enough, it is a matter of minutes to get on the list!
■ Tucson ix35? FCEV
Enter the top ten list of 20 15.
In the conventional impression, you may be impressed by Japanese hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, but in fact, the modern hydrogen fuel cell vehicles mass-produced as early as 20 13 are based on ix35, two years earlier than Toyota's Mirai. At that time, the price of this car was as high as 855,000 RMB. In addition to selling in Korea, it is listed in California by lease for the promotion of hydrogen energy, which has little commercial significance but great strategic significance.
■ Hyundai NEXO
Enter the top ten list of 20 19.
In 20 18, the modern new generation fuel cell vehicle NEXO came out. NEXO has adopted a brand-new fuel cell vehicle platform, which has made a qualitative leap in all aspects compared with Tucson fuel cell version. The endurance jumped from 426 km to 609 km. This figure is better than Honda Clarity's 589 km and Toyota Mirai's 502 km. NEXO originated from the release of a fuel cell concept car named FE in 20 17, which still looks fashionable after mass production.
■ Honda Clarity? 130kW fuel electricity?
Enter the top ten list of 20 18.
As early as 2008, Honda FCX? Clarity has entered the market. It is the world's first hydrogen fuel cell car, which can achieve 390 kilometers of battery life in 5 minutes. The power of this product is simply beyond the times at that time. Top？ James, the former host of Gear and one of the three inferior people? May once said in the program, FCX? Clarity is the car of the future.
On 20 18 Ward Top Ten, Honda shines brilliantly, not only its internal combustion engine is widely praised, but also its fuel cell electric drive system is recognized. This 130kW fuel cell electric drive system is installed on Honda Clarity fuel cell vehicle. The maximum power of this system is 130kW and the maximum torque is 300Nm. The comprehensive cruising range of the whole system can reach 589 kilometers and the maximum cruising range can reach 700 kilometers.
Editor's summary: The future of electricity is not just a slogan.
Let's go back to ward's list. Every year, the jury will test-drive the new cars sold in the United States that year and the price does not exceed $60,000, and evaluate the fuel economy, power performance, noise control, vibration and technical application of the vehicle engines, and select 10 engines with the best performance to provide consumers with purchase reference.
So to put it bluntly, it is not only the choice of engine, but also the choice of model.
It is undeniable that the addition of new energy power is a qualitative leap in terms of fuel economy, power, noise control, vibration and technical application. If you are not selected, it makes no sense! Even this year, Ward's Top Ten Engines were officially renamed as "Ward's Top Ten Engines and Power Systems" to "accommodate" those new energy power systems.
Then, according to our slogan of "all electricity in the future", I wonder when the new energy powertrain will achieve the grand slam of the list?
