With the expansion and improvement of new energy market, it is more and more accepted by people. With the limitation of some local indicators, the sales volume has become the main force of new energy vehicles. However, the vehicle model still occupies a large seat in the market. Compared with the vehicle, it is more flexible in energy selection and generally does not have mileage anxiety. At the same time, the advantages of low fuel consumption and strong power also make the plug-in hybrid model unique in the market. Therefore, many host manufacturers have successively launched the plug-in hybrid model as their star products. Among the 200000 level domestic plug-in hybrid models, Japanese and Korean brands have always had a strong sense of existence and good reputation. Among the Japanese brands, the plug-in hybrid models are famous for their fuel saving and reliability. Among the Korean brands, there are also a number of plug-in hybrid models that focus on high efficiency and fuel saving. Today, let's compare the Toyota leiling double engine E + and Kia K3 PHEV to see which is stronger in the field of plug-in mixing. Compared with the double engine, though the overall shape of leiling double engine E + still follows the design of the previous generation, it also changes obviously in the front face. The front face is decorated with a large number of black decorative plates, which increases the forward air grille, and the lines of the middle net are more sporty. In terms of the side and rear of the car, the design of leiling double engine E + is standard and conservative, and the overall youth and fashion sense are slightly inadequate. Kia K3 PHEV adopts the appearance design of the fuel version, the slim and upward inclined headlamp group is very sharp, the air intake grille adopts the family Huxiao design, the grille size is larger, the visual impact is strong, giving people a sense of strength, and the recognition is relatively high. Compared with the front faces of the two cars, leiling double engine E + is more stable, and more complex lines are used to outline the sense of hierarchy. Kia K3 PHEV looks more fashionable and dynamic, with a more concise front face, and a more "sense of aggression" in large-scale grille. Similarly, both cars are equipped with LED light sources. Among them, leiling double engine E + adopts the LED high and low beam integrated headlamp group, and the upper edge of the lamp group is decorated with a blue decorative strip to show its new energy identity, which can be seen everywhere in leiling double engine E +. It is worth mentioning that Kia K3 PHEV is equipped with automatic headlamp and headlamp delay off function as standard, which is slightly insufficient for leiling double engine E +. Leiling double engine E + has a body size of 4645 * 1775 * 1480mm and a wheelbase of 2700mm. Leiling double engine E + has a round side line, which does not create a sense of youth and movement. The design is standard and conservative, which conforms to the public aesthetic. The car side of Kia K3 PHEV is more young and dynamic. The waistline is straight, but the layers are prominent. The lines extend all the way to the rear of the car, which also increases the layer sense of the rear of the car. In a certain light, you can see the contrast between light and shade. The wheel size of leiling double engine E + is 205 / 55 R16, and the double five spoke wheel rim is stable. Kia K3 PHEV also adopts 205 / 55 R16 wheel, and its wheel hub adopts semi closed design, which has a stronger sense of technology. The difference in tail is consistent with the difference in style. Leiling e + tail maintains a round style, and the shape is not radical. The overall appearance is more calm and low-key. Kia K3 PHEV has a more "feel" at the rear. It adopts a through tail light design, with the tail slightly cocked up. At the bottom, chrome plated trim strips are used to connect the exhaust together, and the overall visual center of gravity is raised. In terms of interior decoration, leiling double engine E + is still our familiar Toyota style, adding brown color, using new color on seats, door panels and central control trim, improving the interior texture. The interior design of Kia K3 PHEV is consistent with the fuel version. However, no matter the blue chrome strip or the blue sewing thread of the seat, the use of blue can be seen everywhere. It seems that people want to recognize the attributes of their new energy vehicles at a glance. The upper part of the center console is wrapped with a large area of soft material, with a higher overall level. Both cars have three spoke steering wheels, of which only the high-end model of leiling e + is made of leather, while all Kia K3 PHEV series are equipped with leather steering wheel, with a better touch. Leiling e + center control panel is 8 inches in size, with the built-in fengyunxing Internet system of GAC Toyota. The logic design of the car and system is reasonable, and the interface is easy to use. However, the actual quality of the screen is not very high. It is a little difficult to deal with the daily car functions and the complex entertainment needs. Kia K3 PHEV adopts a 10.25 inch suspended central control screen design, which is in line with the current popular trend. The high configuration model is equipped with an intelligent Internet System 2.0, which supports QQ music, baidu map and voice control functions, and is more outstanding in entertainment expansion. All the models of leiling double engine E + use mechanical pointer instrument, but the tachometer of fuel model is changed into energy indicator to present more economic driving mode to the driver in a more intuitive way. Kia K3 PHEV is equipped with a 7-inch LCD instrument panel. Although it is not a full LCD, it is large enough to display more information and more in line with the use habits of new energy vehicles. The driving mode switch button is set in the e + central control area of leiling double engine. The size of the key cap is moderate and the possibility of misoperation is small. Kia K3 PHEV provides active safety configuration such as lane keeping, parallel assistance, collision alarm, etc. for the buyer to choose. In terms of seats, the leiling double engine E + high configuration model is covered with leather materials, with good support for the back of the seat and strong wrapping feeling of the seat. However, it is not equipped with electric seat, lumbar adjustment and seat heating functions. The seat of Kia K3 PHEV is made of leather and fabric, which is soft as a whole, but the same configuration is low. The seat can only be adjusted manually, so the convenience of use is greatly reduced. Leiling double engine E + also has a good rear seat texture. The middle position is also equipped with foldable armrest. When the rear seat is not full, the comfort is not a problem. Kia K3 PHEV rear seat maintains the soft wrapping feeling of the front row, but only provides 2 headrests, and there is no folding armrest in the middle position. Although the capacity of leiling double engine E + group is larger than that of the previous double engine model, so its luggage compartment space has made a certain compromise, but as a family car space is also enough, but the only regret is that the rear seat cannot be put down. The rear compartment space of Kia K3 PHEV is deeper. Because the battery pack is distributed under the rear compartment, it has no impact on the height and flatness of the rear compartment, and the rear seats support to be put down in proportion. In terms of power, leiling double engine E + is equipped with a 10.5kwh battery pack and a plug-in hybrid power system composed of in-line 4-cylinder 1.8L self-priming + motor, with a comprehensive maximum power of 100kW (136ps). Kia K3 PHEV is equipped with a 12.9kwh battery pack. The power system is composed of a 1.6L GDI engine and a permanent magnet synchronous motor, matched with a 6-speed dual clutch gearbox. The engine thermal efficiency is as high as 40%, the maximum output power is 77KW (105ps), and the peak torque is 147nm. The maximum power of the motor is 45KW and the maximum torque is 170nm. Editor's comments: on the whole, the product strength of the two models is relatively close, and they are outstanding as plug-in hybrid models. Among them, with the popularity and public praise accumulated by Toyota in the field over the years, Toyota leiling double engine E + has received a high degree of attention once it was launched. The model has also been updated on the basis of integrating the advantages of the previous generation, but in addition to the excellent power system, it is relatively common in terms of technology configuration, driving assistance, etc. Kia K3 PHEV's fame is not as loud as leiling's e + engine, which makes it to a certain extent free from the "burden" of the past, no matter in appearance modeling or power system design. In the same way, there is a phenomenon of "shrinkage" in the seats, interior materials and other aspects of the model. However, as the representatives of Japanese and Korean plug-in hybrid models, the two vehicles are still very worthy of selection.
