Link 08 new energy performance/range/fuel consumption/off-road analysis

　The SUVs of different hybrid forms are competing in the same field, there are boxy hardcore players that can go up mountains and down rivers, as well as urban SUVs that are completely family orientated. side-by-side comparisons are convenient for comparing models in the same class, but for the introduction of the results of individual models, I believe that you are still more inclined to the form of graphic. In this article, I will introduce the Link 08 New Energy 2023 220km 4WD Performance Halo's performance analysis in four items: feeder acceleration, high-speed feeder fuel consumption, 1,000km extreme range challenge, and off-road hill climbing.

● Feeder acceleration
Link 08's power system consists of a 1.5T engine and front and rear dual electric motors, the system's maximum power and torque are 436kW and 905N-m respectively, when the power is sufficient, its fastest 0-100km/h acceleration time is 4.80 seconds, compared to the official 4.60 seconds is only 0.2 seconds slower, the physical feeling is almost no difference. However, when fed, the front and rear two motors can only be said to have the heart but not the power, the battery at this time also almost completely into the ‘counterweight’, the final 0-100km/h acceleration time of 7.83 seconds, compared to the power when slowed down 3.03 seconds, the acceleration ability to attenuate the 39%, can be seen that the power on the performance of the Link 08 impact is still relatively large.
● High-speed feeder fuel consumption

Arriving at the high ring section of the test track, we tested the fuel consumption of each vehicle on a high speed feeder of roughly 240km over a 2 hour period. The vehicles were drained to a forced engine start before the test, then fuelled up and started the test. The Link 08 had a -% charge before the test, and eventually drove 243.0km at an average speed of 120.1km/h. After filling up again and cranking the car until the petrol level no longer dropped, the car was filled with a total of 23.93L of petrol, which resulted in a measured fuel consumption of 9.85L/100km, and the new energy performance of the Link 08 with the 3-speed DHT gearbox was good enough to rank third out of third among the ten cars. In addition to this, the battery level has also increased from --% to 4%.
1000km range challenge

The high-speed feed test really makes these hybrids a bit more difficult, and I'm sure you'll rarely encounter such extreme conditions in daily use, while long-distance travelling is their forte. With an official range of more than 1,000 kilometres on a full tank of fuel and a full charge, can it actually run?
　　The Link 08 has an official 60L fuel tank and a 39.6kWh battery, and we set the driving mode to Super Extended Range before we set off. In the end, after 13.76 hours of driving, the subtotal mileage of 1119.5km when completely lying down, the average speed of 81.4km / h. In the refuelling session, it injected a total of 63.83L of gasoline, with 92 gasoline 7.85 yuan / litre price of oil and 1.2242 yuan / kWh price of electricity to calculate, the Link 08 per kilometre of the integrated cost of driving is only 0.49 yuan, the lowest in the field, the three-speed DHT transmission plays a key role.
● Off-road Hill Climbing

　People buy SUVs firstly because of the large space, and secondly because the chassis is high and the passability is better than that of a sedan. Even an urban SUV should have a certain ability to traverse unpaved surfaces, so next we are going to put it through its most basic hill-climbing test.
　　The Link 08 is equipped with a special off-road mode, 36 ° and 42 ° slopes are not difficult to resist it, 905N-m torque makes the car bottom, climbing process is relatively easy. The shorter length and wheelbase of the car also showed its advantages in this section, and there was no bottoming out throughout the whole process.

Full Summary
　　The above is the performance of the Link 08 in the four non-standard items of this cross-section evaluation. Among the ten cars, its fuel consumption is relatively good, and its comprehensive driving cost per kilometre is the lowest in the field. Not only that, it can also deliver a ‘zero hundred’ acceleration of 4.5 seconds when the battery is full, which can be said to be ‘both the fish and the bear's paw’. At the same time, as an urban SUV, it also shows a certain strength in the unpaved road climbing process, daily family trips to walk some bad roads can also be capable of.
