As Zhao Fei, General Manager of Changan Automobile, said: "Changan Blue Whale Super Hybrid is the global hybrid China's solution we have provided."
As an important achievement of Changan Automobile's 6 years of effort, gathering the wisdom of more than 1,000 top engineers and mastering 163 technologies cumulatively, Blue Whale Super Hybrid is not only a technological breakthrough but also an important milestone for Changan Automobile in the era of future mobility.
Four Core Advantages Reshape the Mobility Experience, Letting Users Enjoy Complete Ease
Based on global user needs, Blue Whale Super Hybrid allows users to enjoy the reliability of fuel vehicles, the pleasure of electric vehicles, massive fuel savings, and zero anxiety without changing their energy replenishment habits! It makes every user's travel more relaxed and can be called the perfect choice for commuting and family trips!
Savings: Urban fuel consumption as low as 2L per 100 kilometers, only a little over 2 mao per kilometer!
The "savings" of Blue Whale Super Hybrid fundamentally stems from a disruptive breakthrough in fuel consumption. Its hybrid engine equipped with ultra-high-pressure direct injection technology has a thermal efficiency of nearly 45%, and its injection pressure is 42% higher than the industry level (350Bar). At the same time, it is equipped with the industry-leading high-flux high-power hybrid electric drive, with a maximum motor efficiency of 98.1%, making the engine operate more smoothly and efficiently in actual conditions, with every drop of fuel burned more fully. Measured data shows that the urban fuel consumption of a blue-plate sedan is only 2.98L/100km, and the urban fuel consumption of a blue-plate SUV is only 3.98L/100km, pushing blue-plate sedans into the "2L" era and blue-plate SUVs into the "3L" era. Even in typical urban scenarios such as morning and evening rush hour congestion, low-speed crawling, and frequent stop-start, the system can operate stably in the high-efficiency power generation range, achieving extreme fuel savings.
Second, vehicle operating costs are significantly reduced. At the launch event, Yang Dayong, Executive Vice President of Changan Automobile, did the math for consumers: taking the fourth-generation Eado Blue Whale Super Hybrid as an example, the measured urban comprehensive fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is about 2.98 liters. Compared with the estimated 6-liter fuel consumption of traditional fuel vehicles in the same class, it can save 3.02 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers. Based on 15,000 kilometers per year, it saves 453 liters of fuel per year. Combined with the current price of 8.57 yuan/liter for 92-octane gasoline, it saves 3,882 yuan per year. Based on a 6-year vehicle replacement cycle, fuel costs alone can save 23,300 yuan. Taking a 120,000-yuan car as an example, compared with insurance costs, a fuel vehicle saves about 1,000 yuan per year compared with a pure electric vehicle. Compared with resale value, a fuel vehicle sells for 7,200 yuan more than a pure electric vehicle after three years.
From fuel consumption performance, used-car residual value, insurance costs, time costs, and other dimensions, it achieves lower full-lifecycle vehicle operating costs, allowing users to enjoy peace of mind throughout and continuous savings.
Startup response in only 0.29 seconds, one step faster!
The power experience of Blue Whale Super Hybrid can be described as completely transformed. The drive motor's maximum speed is up to 20,000rpm, maximum power is up to 180kW, and battery discharge power is up to 80kW, all leading in their class. Compared with traditional hybrid architectures, it is equivalent to adding an extra 1.0L engine of power; at the same time, it introduces the world's only acceleration closed-loop control, making power output stronger and acceleration smoother. Taking the UNI-V HEV as an example, the vehicle's startup response is only 0.29 seconds, and 0-60km acceleration is only 3.59 seconds. It leads from the moment the traffic light turns green, explodes instantly when overtaking, and delivers push-back sensation on demand, allowing you to enjoy the directness and exhilaration of a pure electric vehicle.
Library-level quiet experience, urban noise reduced by 3 levels compared with traditional fuel vehicles
Blue Whale Super Hybrid is equipped with a dedicated hybrid engine and adopts industry-leading silent structural design. Targeting the high perception of urban noise, with deep electrification assistance, it prioritizes electric drive, while the battery enters a deep discharge-allowed mode, reducing engine operating time and increasing the proportion of pure electric driving, making the vehicle quieter while driving. Verification shows that urban noise is reduced by 10 decibels compared with traditional fuel vehicles, equivalent to being wrapped in four layers of soundproof glass. Sound energy under high-speed and slope conditions is reduced by 50%-90%. Measured at stationary idle, the in-cabin sound pressure is as low as 37.9 decibels, quieter than a library environment of about 40 decibels. At 60km/h, the in-cabin sound pressure is only 57 decibels. It gives fuel vehicles the driving and riding feel of pure electric vehicles and leapfrog comfort comparable to mid-to-high-end luxury cars.
Over 2 million kilometers of reliability verification, lifetime warranty for core powertrain components
Changan Automobile insists on developing HEV products according to global standards. The powertrain system and three-electric system have undergone over 2 million kilometers of reliability verification, more than 70 types of special road tests, 350 hours of uninterrupted bench testing, and cumulatively more than 1,000 hours of extreme operating condition testing. The system-level test benches for extreme operating conditions of the engine, electric drive, battery, etc., have overall verification reaching more than 10 times the user's actual vehicle environment, and are equipped with 24-hour battery cloud monitoring and early warning for real-time safety protection. Changan Automobile further makes a solemn promise: for all first-time non-commercial owners who purchase Blue Whale Super Hybrid models, under the premise of maintenance according to regulations, it will provide a lifetime warranty for the core components of the HEV hybrid system! With solid assurance, users can drive with peace of mind.
Blue Whale Super Hybrid Redefines the Hybrid Technology Paradigm
At the launch event, Yang Dayong provided an in-depth interpretation of Blue Whale Super Hybrid. Compared with Toyota hybrid's "oil-dominated" power-split architecture, it has limitations in power output and energy regulation, and also faces pain points such as the engine being difficult to drive directly with high efficiency under high-speed conditions and the engine and motor being unable to fully decouple during urban driving. In actual use, problems such as relatively high energy consumption, abrupt engine intervention, and insufficient ride smoothness are prone to occur. Changan Automobile's newly created iDE-H—deeply electrified intelligent oil-electric hybrid architecture—overcomes the bottlenecks of traditional HEV technology, pushes blue-plate vehicle urban fuel consumption into the "2L" era, forms a clearly differentiated advantage in driving and riding experience compared with competitors in the same class, and achieves a leap in three core values: economy, driving and riding experience, and intelligent functions. At the economic level, vehicle operating costs are lower, making daily travel worry-free and more money-saving; at the experience level, driving control is smooth and powerful, quietness is outstanding, balancing comfort and driving pleasure; at the functional level, it upgrades the driving and riding experience in multiple ways while supporting the continuous iterative evolution of intelligent driving and the cabin, with the vehicle experience fully comparable to new energy models. Based on this, Blue Whale Super Hybrid achieves four core technological breakthroughs:
500Bar ultra-high-pressure direct injection hybrid engine, squeezing every drop of fuel
Equipped with the world's first and highest 500Bar ultra-high-pressure fuel injection system, with injection pressure reaching twice that of Toyota's 250Bar; at the same time, it is equipped with the world's first 150mJ high-energy ignition system and a 1.45 industry-highest stroke-to-bore ratio. Under the condition of an ultra-high compression ratio of up to 16:1, it achieves efficient clean combustion, realizing 40.9% average operating condition efficiency at 1500-4200 rpm and a 56.3% high-efficiency zone proportion. Its average thermal efficiency is on par with Toyota's highest thermal efficiency of 41%. Whether cruising at high speed or traveling through the city, the engine works in the high-efficiency range, making every drop of fuel fully utilized, with ultra-low fuel consumption and greater energy-saving advantages.
High-flux high-power hybrid electric drive, small but powerful
As the "heart" of the high-flux high-power hybrid electric drive, the industry-first 3V high-flux magnetic steel topology greatly improves the magnetic flux in the motor air gap compared with the traditional 2V structure. At the same time, the rotor structure adopts 0.2mm ultra-thin silicon steel sheets used only in luxury cars, enabling the motor's maximum efficiency to reach 98.1% and the electric drive system's comprehensive operating condition efficiency to reach 92.8%, approaching the physical limit. At the same time, this hybrid electric drive also has another feature: small size and high efficiency. Its volume is only 107L and its weight is only 97 kilograms, 10%-20% lighter than the same class. Its maximum speed reaches 20,000rpm and peak power is 180kW, the largest in its class, far exceeding Toyota's 134kW, bringing lower energy loss and vehicle operating costs; its power density is as high as 9.9kW/kg, a significant improvement over Toyota's 6kW/kg; at the same time, it is equipped with a 6-core high-performance MCU chip with 53.3% more computing power than the industry, achieving millisecond-level precise control. Whether starting at a traffic light, merging and overtaking, or driving on slopes, it makes power come faster, more directly, and with more confidence.
High-performance high-safety battery, all-domain safety protection
In terms of the battery, it achieves a discharge rate of up to 50C and a peak discharge power of 80kW, more than twice Toyota's 35kW, making power output stronger; and through reserving 41% energy-absorbing space and strict testing far exceeding national standards, it achieves the optimal energy efficiency balance while ensuring safety. At the same time, there is also 24-hour all-time battery cloud monitoring and early warning, supporting user-side safety visualization, achieving full-cycle knowledge, prevention, and control of battery status, always safeguarding travel safety.
