The performance of various results is really good, testing GAC Trumpchi E9

　　[Autohome Professional Review] Some time ago, I saw a joke. When someone chose a new energy vehicle, the reason they gave was "this car can be refueled"… Everyone knows that "new energy" is the trend of the times, but before the pain point of replenishing energy has not been really solved, how to transition is indeed a problem. Therefore, in the past two years, we can see many plug-in hybrid models become popular. The Trumpchi E9 we tested today is also a plug-in hybrid model. Can it become a best-selling car like its family brother M8? Let’s find out the answer right away.

　　I believe many friends will be curious when they see the Trumpchi E9. Compared with the M8, it can only be charged. Why is it called E9? To say that the Trumpchi E9 is the pioneering work of the Trumpchi E series. E, which represents electrification and intelligence; "9", reflects the high-end flagship status. At present, the Trumpchi E9 has announced a pre-sale price range of 33-390,000 yuan.

■ Look directly at the key point: the power part

　　As a plug-in hybrid model, the Trumpchi E9 is equipped with a 2.0T plug-in hybrid special engine and a drive motor that everyone is familiar with, which is the M8 set. The maximum engine power is 140kW (190 horsepower) and the maximum torque is 330N · m; the maximum motor power is 134kW and the maximum torque is 300N · m; the system comprehensive power is 274kW and the system comprehensive torque is 630N · m.

　　It is worth mentioning that the Trumpchi E9 is matched with a two-speed DHT gearbox, which has better performance in terms of power response and energy consumption. The key point is that the Trumpchi E9 is equipped with a magazine battery, and the battery pack energy is 25.57kWh. According to official data, its WLTC comprehensive operating condition pure electric endurance is 106 kilometers, and the comprehensive driving range reaches 1032 kilometers.

◆ Energy consumption test

　　For the plug-in hybrid MPV of the Trumpchi E9, I believe that everyone is most concerned about its pure electric endurance and fuel consumption performance in the fed state. Therefore, this time we will share this part of the content with you in advance.

　　Before the test, we fill up the fuel and charge it up. When fully charged, its apparent battery life is 106 kilometers, which is consistent with the manufacturer’s claimed pure electric battery life value of WLTC comprehensive working conditions. Then we drove 112 kilometers at an average speed of 30km/h, and the engine began to intervene in the power supply. But it must be noted that even in the power priority mode, as long as you step on the accelerator pedal, the engine will still intervene, so if you want to drive completely "pure electric", you have to drive gently.

　　For plug-in models, especially this kind of MPV, everyone will definitely be very concerned about the fuel consumption of the feed, after all, long-distance travel is inevitable in the feed state. After our actual measurement, the fuel consumption of the Trumpchi E9 feed is 6.4L/100km, which can be said to be quite good for such a large car. So you can imagine that if a long-distance trip is 300 kilometers, the comprehensive fuel consumption of the Trumpchi E9 is about 4L/100km. The most important thing is that the Trumpchi E9 does not pick and eat, just add 92 oil!

How about the Trumpchi E9?

　　After talking about pure electric battery life testing and energy consumption performance, let’s take a look at how the Trumpchi E9 drives. The Trumpchi E9 has three driving modes and three energy modes, combined with suspension, steering, and energy recovery settings, so you can combine them and choose a style you like.

　　In practice, the difference between the energy-saving mode and the comfort mode is not big, they belong to a more relaxed and comfortable style. With the addition of the 2.0T engine, the power of the Trumpchi E9 is obviously more guaranteed. In the sports mode, its power response will be more direct. But as such an MPV model, I still like to use the energy-saving mode or the comfort mode every day.

　　According to the actual needs of users, Trumpchi E9 provides three different energy modes: pure electric priority, intelligent hybrid, and power protection mode. If daily charging is convenient, there is no doubt that pure electric priority can be used frequently; intelligent hybrid is the system that takes into account factors such as vehicle speed and power to intelligently distribute energy, which is suitable for users who are inconvenient to charge. If there is an electricity demand and need to maintain a high power value, then choose power protection priority. It is worth mentioning that Trumpchi E9 supports external discharge, which is useful for friends who like camping.

　　As the high-end flagship MPV of GAC Trumpchi, the Trumpchi E9 has shown good standards in all aspects, at least worthy of this price. Compared with the models of the same level of overseas brands, it can be said that it is not inferior, and even some details have surpassed the opponent. Next, let’s take a look at the various achievements of the Trumpchi E9.

Accelerated testing:

　　Maybe you don’t care too much about the acceleration and braking results of this medium and large MPV, but according to the usual practice, we will announce the results to your friends. Because in the future, on the highway, the one that "whizzes past" you may be a Trumpchi E9. In the two states of sufficient power and feed, we tested the vehicle separately, and first let’s see the performance of the Trumpchi E9 when the power is sufficient.

　　Before the test, the vehicle’s battery was about 80%, which is a relatively sufficient state of power. After many tests, its 0-100km/h acceleration score was 8.25 seconds, which is much faster than expected, so don’t be fooled by its gentle acceleration. With a 2.0T engine bonus, the Trumpchi E9 is still in the lead even compared to its peers.

● Acceleration performance in feed state

　　When the vehicle battery was close to 5%, we tested the Trumpchi E9 again. This time, the "Zero Hundred" acceleration score was 8.55 seconds, which was also quite impressive. Combined with the fuel consumption of the previous feed, I believe that everyone will have more confidence in the comprehensive performance of the Trumpchi E9 in the feed state.

◆ Brake test

　　In the 100-0km/h braking test, after several consecutive tests, the Trumpchi E9’s braking performance is relatively stable, with a final result of 39.98 meters, which is also better than the same level of models. It is worth mentioning that when braking at full force, the Trumpchi E9’s posture is also stable enough, and there is no obvious nodding phenomenon.

Noise test

　　The tranquility of the Trumpchi E9 also reflects the standard of flagship models, even at high speeds, it does a good job of suppressing wind noise and road noise. And at medium and low speeds, it is mostly pure electric driving, and NVH is naturally more guaranteed.

Static part review

　　After reading the various tests and the dynamic test drive part, we will briefly review the exterior and interior parts of the Trumpchi E9. The Trumpchi E9 will offer two different front face designs, the PRO and MAX are the front face grilles of the Kunpeng wing, and the grandmaster version uses the grille called the sky wing.

　　Many friends will regard the Trumpchi E9 as a rechargeable M8, and in fact it is similar. As a plug-in model, the Trumpchi E9 has a "PHEV" logo in terms of appearance. The fast and slow charging interfaces are integrated on the left side of the tail at the same time, unlike some plug-in models on the market that only have a slow charging interface.

　　Entering the car, you will find that the Trumpchi E9 is also a familiar design. The difference between it and the M8 is that the passenger seat is equipped with a screen, which takes better care of the passenger in the passenger seat. Therefore, the Trumpchi E9 has a total of three screens, namely a 12.3-inch meter + a 14.6-inch floating central control screen and a 12.3-inch passenger entertainment screen. At the same time, as a flagship model, the Trumpchi E9 has everything in terms of seat materials and functions.

　　As for space, the Trumpchi E9 and M8 are not very different, so we didn’t have much experience. For this medium and large MPV, it can be handled calmly whether it is a business reception or a family trip. You may want to see how much space it has when three rows of seats are used at the same time. At this time, the capacity is indeed limited, but it should be no problem to put down a few small pieces of luggage.

Full text summary:

　　As the high-end flagship MPV of GAC Trumpchi in terms of intelligence and electrification, the Trumpchi E9 can be said to have maintained a quite high level in all aspects. Through our actual measurement, its pure electric battery life and feed fuel consumption are also solid enough. Of course, on the market now, similar plug-in models are not weak, such as the Denza D9. So the question is, what kind of market performance do you think the Trumpchi E9 will have in the future.
