You think just fuel-efficient? Detailed Honda CR-V i-MMD mounted hybrid system

Author: Sage

In today’s “electrified” the trend for consumers, want to buy SUV models, optional power mode as much as ever. For example, the traditional fuel vehicles, plug-in hybrid vehicles, pure electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles, hybrid vehicles, and light and extended-range models, and so on.

But even if electrification technology has become more sophisticated, pure electric vehicle endurance and strength of the product bigger and stronger, but given the current basis for charging infrastructure network remains to be perfect, range anxiety remains a sore point electric vehicles . Of course, we should also note that hybrid model seems to be the best solution to the current energy consumption and use of trade-offs feelings. It not only has a more excellent fuel economy, while in terms of driving experience compared to traditional fuel vehicles should be more outstanding.

The mention hybrid SUV models, we have to mention the pioneers in this field – Honda CR-V. However, as the safety of pure electric vehicles, like hybrid reliability and actual performance has been one of the users we are very concerned about issues of concern, let’s take a closer today to talk about this Honda CR-V.

hybrid power, no doubt

as a hybrid SUV opened up a precedent of “benchmark model” Dongfeng Honda CR-V sharp middot; hybrid technology in terms of power is beyond doubt. Equipped with Honda’s i-MMD two-motor hybrid system and has already won three “Ward Ten Best Engines” title, on behalf of the current world-class hybrid technology.

Of course, the mentioned hybrid system we will think Toyota THS technology, and then compared with THS technology, i-MMD Honda hybrid technology has What are the advantages of it?

First Honda i-MMD hybrid system to achieve more driving mode can be smoothly switched between electric, hybrid, three kinds of engine driving mode. In contrast the latest Toyota hybrid system THS-II can only be achieved purely electric drive, electric hybrid oil, and can not achieve pureMode of engine operation.

Second, because the purpose of research and development at the beginning of Toyota’s THS system is to fuel-efficient, and not too much long-term layout, Toyota THS want from mixed system upgrading to insert dynamic mix faced enormous technical problems.

For THS is a planetary gear system is used for power splitting, which result in pure electrical mode, the rotational speed of the generator will overdrive. That is difficult for a pure electric vehicle driving state reaches 120 km / h or more, it is not up to the standard state subsidies for the PHEV models.

i-MMD and Honda system abandoned because of its planet gear traffic policy, but the hollow shaft torque coupling strategy employed Cadogan disc clutch, so the more leading from the structure, the more easily derived a plug-in hybrid version of the model.

Meanwhile, the first few days plug Honda CR-V hybrid version of the exposed media conference in China Honda, Honda car is domestic first plug hybrid models, plug with the introduction of hybrid version of the CR-V will also complement and Honda opened a new layout in the domestic energy market.

so it comes to the “plug-in hybrid era”, because the pre-made Honda a long-term considerations, coupled with hybrid system has the advantages of “innate” and insert mix will continue after the introduction of version CR-V leading the expansion of the same level of opponents and advantages.

a good product, in any market will be welcome,

familiar friends all know that the automotive market, both on the domestic auto market slump ever, the entire market downward trend, where the SUV models in this segment fell more serious. And in this environment, the Honda CR-V still maintained a “first 10 months of accumulated sales over 170,000, annual sales break 200,000,” the proud achievements, and hybrid versions of the CR-V all in 2019 annual sales of more than 30,000.

able to do such a result, naturally there is a reason. First, as we mentioned at the beginning, although the hybrid system has many advantages, but its actual performance and reliability has been one of the users we are very concerned about issues of concern.

but in fact Honda’s hybrid technology from the initial i-MA to the current i-MMD has made a leap of progress, and now i-MMD hybrid technology is already very secure, so far at Honda global hybrid models sold close to 200 million units, but there have been no failures or accidents of any one case because of technical reasons.

Caused battery while we are most worried have never occurred, because the battery Honda hybrid system uses a battery module composed of a monomer, since the battery is not, so the reliability side will be much more reliable than using a large number of pure electric vehicle battery pack. Therefore, safety and reliability of the Honda CR-V i-MMD mounted hybrid system is that we do not worry.

In addition to robust security, hybrid version of the CR-V also gives us more excellent compared to fuel cars fun to drive. i-MMD system is equipped with the latest generation motor, the world’s first permanent magnet drive motor heavy metal-free rare earth.

moves through innovative square copper, to better improve the power density of the motor. Moreover, Honda also insert molding and other details of the operation to optimize the copper wire, so that the new motor torque and power than previous generations were increased 8Nm and 11kW, 135kW and 315Nm achieved, but at the same volume and weight is reduced by 23 percentage, in order to achieve a more brisk, responsive driving experience.

at the same time as is the hybrid vehicle, at the initial stage and the power adapter, the motor will have involvement, so the overall power in addition to feel more fun and more smooth and quiet.

thanks to the success of the domestic hybrid version of the CR-V, in order to make the best products spread to the broader market, Honda will launch a hybrid version of the decision CR-V in the North American market overseas. I believe hybrid version of the CR-V can also obtain the trust of consumers in the North American market, after all goodProducts, will be popular in any market.

Honda CR-V sharp middot; hybrid launched in 2017, the same level as the hybrid pioneers in this field, after two years of market testing, enough to prove its stable and reliable. The so-called excellent technology, in addition to excellent, sophisticated technology, the most important thing is to return to the user’s approval, it is clear that the Honda CR-V hybrid done this.

Dongfeng Honda CR-V sharp middot; hybrid in bear risk as “developers” at the same time and under the double test of a large downward trend, still able to maintain sales, contrarian substantial growth, can have such a result, brand of charm, history, heritage, product strength, customer base, these are indispensable. Of course, there Dongfeng Honda’s attention to domestic users, such as the CR-V has a worldwide first hybrid version of the market, is the Chinese market, and is the world premiere, giving priority to Chinese users to experience and enjoy.

CR-V made from now, 15 years, nearly 2 million total sales, which is a very great data. This means, CR-V has been a full range of consumer recognition. More importantly, it is nearly two million owners of CR-V has laid a good reputation, word of mouth reputation that is a virtuous cycle, which no other competitors can not replicate advantage.

Finally, in the Honda CR-V is driven by strong, Dongfeng Honda’s performance in this year’s very good, Dongfeng Honda’s 2019 sales of 788,916 vehicles, an increase 113.2 percentage, and cumulative sales crossed the 5 million mark. From the sales structure, accounting for four percent of sales CR-V NATURAL contributed.

while the hybrid version of the CR-V as this market segment of developers, leading the Chinese SUV market and even the global SUV market development trend, more and more SUV launch hybrid version of the model in succession, but to go beyond CR-V models have not always appear. Because classic is always a classic, not to mention this classic cars are constantly iterative, continuous improvement. I want to be able to go beyond the CR-V models may CR-V, it was only right.
