In today's automotive consumer market, new energy vehicles account for a considerable share of sales. Although pure electric vehicles have been continuously improving in range and charging, many consumers are still unwilling to be tied down by charging piles or to worry about range. Based on this demand, many automakers have successively released new HEV solutions, and while other brands are still at the PPT stage, Changan Automobile has already brought the Blue Whale Super Engine Hybrid to consumers.
【Blue Whale Super Engine Hybrid Makes Its Global Debut】
As a global hybrid China solution, Changan Blue Whale Super Engine Hybrid is a new-generation leapfrog hybrid developed by Changan Automobile over 6 years with the full efforts of more than 1,000 top engineers and featuring 163 core technologies. Based on Changan's newly developed deeply electrified intelligent oil-electric hybrid architecture (iDE-H), Changan Automobile empowers traditional fuel vehicles with electric technology, breaks the traditional fuel-era Toyota hybrid technology route that is primarily oil-based, and innovates a leapfrog hybrid new model of "equal emphasis on oil and electricity, intelligent integration," opening a new chapter for the next fuel era.
【Four Core Advantages Reshape the Travel Experience】
Based on global user needs, Blue Whale Super Engine Hybrid allows users to enjoy the reliability of a fuel vehicle, the enjoyment of an EV, huge fuel savings, and no anxiety without changing their energy replenishment habits! It makes every user's travel more effortless and can be called the perfect choice for commuting and family trips!
【Economy: Measured fuel consumption 1.6L/100km, just over 2 mao per kilometer】
The "economy" of Blue Whale Super Engine Hybrid mainly comes from a disruptive breakthrough in fuel consumption. Its hybrid engine with ultra-high-pressure direct injection has a thermal efficiency of nearly 45%, and its injection pressure is 42% higher than the industry level (350Bar). At the same time, it is equipped with the industry-leading high-magnetic-flux high-power hybrid electric drive, with a maximum motor efficiency of 98.1%, making the engine operate more smoothly and efficiently in actual use and allowing every drop of fuel to burn more fully. In media test activities, many media outlets achieved energy consumption performance lower than the official fuel consumption, pushing blue-plate sedans into the "2L" era and blue-plate SUVs into the "3L" era. Even in typical urban scenarios such as morning and evening rush-hour congestion, low-speed creeping, and frequent stop-start conditions, the system can operate stably in the high-efficiency power generation range, achieving extreme fuel savings.
【Power: Start response in only 0.29 seconds, faster than others by a step】
The power experience of Blue Whale Super Engine Hybrid can be described as completely transformed. The drive motor's maximum speed is as high as 20,000rpm, the maximum power is as high as 180kW, and the battery discharge power is as high as 80kW, all leading in the same class. Compared with traditional hybrid architectures, this is equivalent to adding an extra 1.0L engine of power; at the same time, it introduces the world's only acceleration closed-loop control, making power output stronger and acceleration smoother. Taking the UNI-V HEV as an example, the vehicle's start response is only 0.29 seconds, and 0-60km acceleration is only 3.59 seconds. It leads from the moment the traffic light turns green, bursts instantly when overtaking, and delivers push-back sensation on demand, allowing users to enjoy the directness and exhilaration of a pure EV.
【Quiet: Library-level quiet experience, urban noise reduced by 3 levels compared with traditional fuel vehicles】
Blue Whale Super Engine Hybrid is equipped with a dedicated hybrid engine and adopts an industry-leading quiet structure design. Targeting the high perception of noise in urban areas, with the assistance of deep electrification, it prioritizes electric drive, while the battery enters a mode that allows deep discharge, reducing engine operation time and increasing the proportion of pure electric driving, making the vehicle quieter while driving. It has been verified that urban noise is reduced by 10 decibels compared with traditional fuel vehicles, equivalent to being wrapped in four layers of sound-insulating glass. Under high-speed and slope conditions, sound energy is reduced by 50%-90%. In measured idle parking conditions, the in-vehicle sound pressure is as low as 37.9 decibels, quieter than a library environment of about 40 decibels. At a speed of 60km/h, the in-vehicle sound pressure is only 57 decibels. This gives fuel vehicles the driving and riding feel of a pure EV and leapfrog comfort comparable to mid-to-high-end luxury cars.
【Reliability: Over 2 million kilometers of reliability verification, lifetime warranty for core powertrain components】
Changan Automobile insists on developing HEV products according to global standards. The powertrain and three-electric system have undergone over 2 million kilometers of reliability verification, more than 70 types of special road tests, 350 hours of uninterrupted bench testing, and a cumulative total of more than 1,000 hours of extreme operating condition testing. For system-level test benches targeting extreme operating conditions of the engine, electric drive, battery, and others, the overall verification reaches more than 10 times the user's actual vehicle use environment, and it is equipped with 24-hour cloud battery monitoring and early warning for real-time safety protection. Changan Automobile has further made a solemn promise: for all first-time non-operating owners who purchase Blue Whale Super Engine Hybrid models, under the premise of maintenance according to regulations, it will provide a lifetime warranty for the core components of the HEV hybrid system! With solid protection, users can drive with peace of mind.
【A New Height for Global Hybrids, China's Solution Opens a New Era】
Changan Blue Whale Super Engine Hybrid not only carries the development trend of the times but also fits users' real expectations. On the basis of continuing past honors and excellent market reputation, it will open a new chapter of development with stronger strength and join hands with a broad range of users to embark together on an era of efficient, intelligent, and convenient travel.
