although they are both called "song l", why is the hybrid version so much cheaper?

is the interior material of the song l dm-i as strong as that of the song l ev? why is it so much cheaper than the song l ev? let's take it apart today, starting with the front and rear anti-collision beams, and take a look!

front anti-collision beam

double layer roll pressed steel plate

after removing the front bumper, we can see a double-layer roll-formed steel front anti-collision beam inside, which is 1.26 mm thick and covers 78.14% of the front part of the car. compared with the previously disassembled song plus dm-i, song l ev and qin l dm-i, this car is between song l ev and song plus dm-i, and more like qin l dm-i.

both the song l dm-i and qin l dm-i are made of double-layer rolled steel plates. the song l ev is made of aluminum alloy with a "目"-shaped cross-section, while the song plus dm-i is the most common single-layer stamped steel plate.

the song l dm-i is the same as the qin l dm-i. a component similar to an energy absorption box is installed on the rear side of both ends of the anti-collision beam, with crush holes and wrinkles. this thing is called a collision induction block. when a small-area offset collision occurs on one side of the vehicle, the end of the anti-collision beam folds. this induction block can form a solid triangular structure with the longitudinal beam, causing the vehicle to deflect after a collision and better protect the occupants.

there is no buffer protection foam between the front anti-collision beam and the bumper, and a millimeter-wave radar is installed on the bumper skin.

this car is equipped with a secondary anti-collision beam, which is the same as the song l ev and qin l dm-i, while the song plus dm-i does not have a secondary anti-collision beam.

the rear anti-collision beam is also equipped with an energy absorption box.

like the song plus dm-i, this car does not have an active air intake grille, while the song l ev and qin l dm-i do.

the shotgun extends forward from the a-pillar and is connected to the longitudinal beam to form an embracing structure, which can provide better support and cushioning, and is consistent with the structure of song l ev, song plus dm-i and qin l dm-i.

although the energy absorption box is made of ordinary square steel plates welded together, the angle of the energy absorption box is tilted outward to form a "trumpet" shape, which is the same as the qin l dm-i. this design is quite popular now, mainly to improve the 25% offset collision test results. the aluminum alloy energy absorption box of the song l ev and the steel plate energy absorption box of the song plus dm-i are both ordinary styles.

rear anti-collision beam

single layer stamped steel plate

after removing the rear bumper, we found that the rear anti-collision beams of these four cars are basically the same, all of which are single-layer stamped steel plates with a thickness of a little more than 1 mm.

the rear crash box is very short and has crumple folds and perforations.

the rear tailgates of these four models all protrude from the rear anti-collision beam, so if a rear-end collision occurs, the rear tailgate is more likely to be damaged.

summarize

closer to qin l dm-i

if compared with song plus dm-i, the anti-collision beam of song l dm-i is stronger. but if compared with song l ev, they are basically two different cars. although they are both called "song l", the anti-collision beam structure and materials are different. in fact, the front and rear anti-collision beams of song l dm-i are more similar to those of qin l dm-i.

so what is the chassis condition of this car? is this car a hybrid version of song l ev or an suv version of qin l dm-i? please continue to pay attention to the subsequent disassembly content.
