During the driving challenge at Mount Longhu, the Tiggo 9 PHEV and Arrizo 8 PHEV became the center of attention thanks to their remarkable power performance and intelligent control systems. Faced with the winding roads of Mount Longhu, the Tiggo 9 PHEV’s 1.5T engine paired with the third-generation DHT hybrid transmission proved its prowess. The 4WD version boasted an output power of up to 450 kW and a peak torque of 915 N·m, effortlessly handling steep slopes and complex terrain, allowing drivers to experience the thrill of driving fully.
The Arrizo 8 PHEV has an advanced 1.5TGDI fifth-generation hybrid engine, a market highlight due to its ultra-low fuel consumption and high performance. The engine demonstrates outstanding energy utilization with a thermal efficiency of up to 44.5%. It also delivers a maximum power of 115 kW and a peak torque of 220 N·m, ensuring a powerful and smooth driving experience.
The intelligent control systems of both models played a crucial role in the driving challenge. The Tiggo 9 PHEV features an all-dimensional intelligent driving safety system equipped with 30 active safety configurations, including L2.9-level ADAS, highway navigation, and memory parking, offering comprehensive safety for drivers. Meanwhile, the Arrizo 8 PHEV, with its advanced intelligent control system, provides real-time vehicle monitoring and precise adjustments, allowing drivers to enjoy driving fun while feeling secure.
During the Poyang Lake ecological protection experience, the Tiggo 9 PHEV and Arrizo 8 PHEV showcased their long-range capabilities, low energy consumption, and external power supply functions. The vehicles’ range capabilities were fully displayed against Poyang Lake’s expansive waters and surrounding natural scenery. The Tiggo 9 PHEV, depending on configuration, offers an all-electric range of 100/170 km, with a total range exceeding 1,400 km. The Arrizo 8 PHEV also provides a total range of over 1,400 km when fully charged, with an all-electric range exceeding 127 km. This range capability allows drivers to enjoy the natural beauty while handling long-distance travel needs easily.
In the Poyang Lake ecological protection experience, both models’ external power supply functions were also put to good use. Whether for outdoor camping or other power-requiring scenarios, the vehicles’ external power supply functions provide stable electricity for various devices, allowing drivers to enjoy the natural surroundings with practical and convenient power solutions.
