FAW Toyota RAV4 Rongfang dual engine, why is hybrid technology so strong？
Since the automotive industry set off the tide of electrification transformation, almost all global car brands have invested a lot of energy in the new energy track. Pure electric vehicles are limited by issues such as battery life, convenience of replenishment, and value retention, and have not become the first choice for all consumers. Hybrid gasoline-electric models can better meet consumers’ travel needs, achieving more economical fuel consumption performance than traditional fuel vehicles, comparable battery life and convenience of replenishment. Because of this, more and more car brands have increased their investment in research and development of hybrid technology. Although they all have different technical routes, they will eventually benchmark Toyota on the performance indicators of hybrid technology.
In the process of electrification transformation of automobile brands, the consistent comparison of Toyota is enough to show that Toyota has a leading hegemony in hybrid technology. Behind the global leadership of hybrid technology is the profound foundation of Toyota’s continuous research and development and innovation of hybrid technology in the past 30 years. Since applying for a patent in 1997, the core unit PSD (Power Split Device) of Toyota’s THS hybrid has achieved a 20-year technical blockade in the field of hybrid technology, and no company can imitate this technical route. Obviously, the hybrid technology launched by most car brands today cannot compete with it in terms of technical heritage.
You know, Toyota has been dominating the hybrid field for more than 20 years, and has completed many technical iterations. Today’s Toyota hybrid models are equipped with Toyota’s new generation of hybrid technology THS II. Not only that, but the Toyota dual-engine models currently sold around the world have always maintained a record of "zero" accidents in power batteries. Whether it is market sales, reputation or safety and reliability, Toyota Hybrid is the strongest king.
Generally speaking, the output and disconnection of a car’s power are mainly achieved through the clutch, but the traditional clutch structure is primitive, the friction loss is large, and the power can only be transmitted one-to-one. However, the planetary gear structure can achieve power transmission in two directions, and the planetary gear is directly driven through the gear meshing to achieve the lowest energy loss. If you want to further explore the core advantages of Toyota’s hybrid, you might as well focus on the FAW Toyota RAV4 Rongfang dual engine, which is equipped with a hybrid system that is Toyota’s new generation of hybrid technology THS II.
Toyota’s new generation hybrid technology THS II carried in the FAW Toyota RAV4 Rongfang dual-engine model is composed of the TNGA 2.5L Dynamic Force engine and the three-electric system. Among them, the TNGA 2.5L Dynamic Force engine has achieved a world-class 41% thermal efficiency through laser cladding valve seat technology, a hybrid injection system composed of D-4S high-pressure in-cylinder direct injection and low-pressure manifold injection, and a VVT-iE intelligent electric variable valve timing intake system. It also has a maximum power of 131 kW, which can be described as an excellent balance between fuel economy and power strength. The three-electric technology is composed of the fourth-generation high-efficiency nickel-metal hydride battery, the fourth-generation high-speed motor, and the fourth-generation Power Control Unit (PCU). The FAW Toyota RAV4 Rongfang dual engine adopts a dual-drive motor design, with a front-drive motor power of 88 kW and a rear-drive motor power of 40 kW.
From low-speed to high-speed driving conditions, from stop and start scenarios to continuous cruising vehicle conditions, FAW Toyota RAV4 Rongfang Dual Engine can maintain high-efficiency power output under almost any working conditions. For example, when the vehicle is stationary, the engine, electric motor, and generator will automatically stop, without fearlessly consuming excess energy due to idling. When starting or driving at low speed, the Toyota THS II hybrid system will prioritize low-speed and more efficient motors to drive the vehicle. During normal driving, the engine will be in a high-efficiency working range. The RAV4 Rongfang dual engine will mainly use the power of the engine to drive the vehicle, and the power of the engine directly drives the wheels, and will distribute the excess power to the generator according to the driving conditions to supplement the power battery. Finally, under acceleration conditions, the power battery will also provide power, increase the output power of the motor, realize the joint force of the drive motor and the engine, and achieve acceleration performance and smoothness beyond the fuel models of the same class. When slowing down or loosening the throttle, the hybrid system will also rely on the rotation of the wheel to drive the motor, using it as a generator to recycle the excess kinetic energy, so as to achieve additional energy for the power battery.
In addition, the hybrid system of FAW Toyota RAV4 Rongfang Dual Engine also provides users with a variety of driving modes to choose from, and the driving mode selected by users according to road conditions and mood will greatly improve driving pleasure. The selected driving mode will change the background of the multi-function information display screen. For example, "NORMAL mode" is smooth and smooth, easy to drive; "ECO mode" is smooth and comfortable, energy-saving driving; "SPORT mode" is exciting and sporty driving. Thanks to the ultra-high thermal efficiency TNGA engine and the profound foundation of hybrid technology, FAW Toyota RAV4 Rongfang Dual Engine models have achieved excellent fuel consumption performance. While achieving abundant power, it can also achieve a comprehensive fuel consumption of 4.7L for 100 kilometers, and add 1 tank of fuel to drive continuously for 1000 kilometers, providing high fuel efficiency that is rarely matched in the same class of cars.
It is worth mentioning that the FAW Toyota RAV4 Rongfang family has just completed the model upgrade. The RAV4 Rongfang dual-engine 2022 model not only has the efficient power performance brought by Toyota’s THS II hybrid technology, but also has a comprehensive improvement in product value. For example, the optional range of the dual-color body has been further enriched, and the interstellar blue color has been added. At present, the RAV4 Rongfang Dual Engine 2022 model provides users with up to 7 monochromes (Moyuan Black, Platinum White, Platinum Bronze Metallic, Titanium Gray, Paris Red, Interstellar Blue, Milan Khaki), as well as 3 kinds of dual-color (Platinum White/Moyuan Black, Titanium Gray/Moyuan Black, Milan Khaki/Titanium Gray), which can meet the unique aesthetic and personality needs of more young users.
In order to bring users a more humane care, more relaxed and pleasant travel experience, the FAW Toyota RAV4 Rongfang Duo Engine 2022 model has also been significantly upgraded in configuration. For example, it has upgraded all the original electric folding external rearview mirrors to automatic folding external rearview mirrors, and the improvement of technology configuration can provide more convenience for daily driving. At the same time, on the basis of the existing model configuration, some models are equipped with parking radar systems, allowing more users to enjoy the easy driving experience brought by practical technology configuration. In addition, the RAV4 Rongfang 2022 model adds a kick sensing function on the basis of the electric tailgate configuration of the existing model, which enhances the sense of technology and makes the user experience the most convenient car experience.
There is no doubt that the FAW Toyota RAV4 Rongfang Dual Engine model has the world’s leading THS II hybrid technology, which can keep the power system in the most economical working range under any use scenario, thus achieving far superior fuel economy. In the future, the FAW Toyota RAV4 Rongfang Dual Engine model will also rely on the world’s leading hybrid technology to help more users experience a low-carbon and environmentally friendly green travel experience.
