Chinese cars, 5 models with super hybrid technology
Byd Act 2
Byd Atto 2 is a compact SUV available in both electric and super hybrid versions.
As with the 100% electric version, the Atto2 Dm-i plug-in hybrid is available in two versions, Active and Boost, which differ mainly in terms of power output (166 hp for the former and 212 hp for the latter), battery capacity (7.8 kWh for the Active and 18 kWh for the Boost), maximum charging power and certain standard features such as wireless charging and heated seats and steering wheel, which are only available on the Boost version. This technology makes the electric motor work together with a particularly slim battery integrated in the floorpan (Battery Blade) and a 1.5-litre Xiaoyun petrol engine. In addition to the Ev mode, two different hybrid modes (Hev) are available: in the first, the combustion engine only intervenes to recharge the battery, while in the second, it acts directly on the traction to provide additional boost if necessary. The result is a system that functions most of the time as an electric car, allowing up to 90 km of zero-emission range (40 km for the Active version), a combined weighted average consumption of 1.8 L/100 km, and 1,000 km of combined range with a 45-litre fuel tank. In terms of performance, 100 km/h is reached in 7.5 seconds (9.1 sec. for the Active version) and the top speed is 180 km/h.
