as we all know, the development of new energy vehicles in china is in full swing, with pure electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid vehicles, and extended-range electric vehicles flourishing. it can be said that it is very lively! from the current situation, new energy vehicles with electricity as the core driving force will become the mainstream of the automotive industry in the future, and at least in china, this trend is almost irreversible.

although many manufacturers have seen the future of new energy vehicles or electric vehicles and actively embraced this trend, toyota is not one of them. in recent years, toyota motor ceo akio toyoda has continued to criticize electric vehicles on different occasions, expressing his disapproval of the electrification trend, while vigorously promoting his own hybrid vehicles and hydrogen fuel cell technology.

many friends believe that this is because toyota is unwilling to admit that it has chosen the wrong "technology tree" and is unwilling to give up the opportunity to make money using patents. it hopes to guide global automakers to abandon electric vehicles!

however, a "small thing" that happened recently has slightly changed the minds of some friends, because at least in terms of energy saving and low fuel consumption, toyota still has something.

recently, a man named wayne gerdes took a long trip between los angeles and new york, and tested the fuel consumption of the fifth-generation prius. the starting point and the end point were 3211.7 miles apart, and the trip passed through a plateau area at an altitude of 7,000 feet. it can be said that the test distance and road conditions are very representative.

under this brother's test, toyota's fifth-generation prius broke the guinness world record for fuel consumption, with a comprehensive fuel economy of 93.158 miles per gallon, or 39.6 kilometers per liter, which means that it can run nearly 40 kilometers per liter of fuel. converted to the level of fuel consumption per 100 kilometers, it is 2.52l/100 kilometers. according to the current domestic oil price, the fuel consumption per kilometer costs about 0.2 yuan.

the fifth-generation prius driven by wayne gerdes this time is a low-end us-spec model equipped with a 2.0l hybrid system and 195/60/r17 tires. the vehicle has not been modified in any way, so the 2.5l level of fuel consumption is achieved when the vehicle is in its original state, and it has also passed through plateaus and high-temperature areas.

in fact, the fifth-generation prius is still quite strong in terms of product performance. the power of the main model has been changed from the previous 1.8l to the current 2.0l hybrid, and there are also e-four and phev versions. at the same time, this model represents the highest level of toyota hybrid, not only has low fuel consumption, but also can accelerate from 0 to 100 in 7 seconds, and the control and chassis tuning level is also very high.

the fuel consumption of prius is so low that it is not as low as that of byd qin l and haibao 06, which have very low fuel consumption (2.9l/100km) among domestic plug-in hybrid models. however, this car has not entered the domestic market, and we have not heard of any plans for this car to enter the domestic market. i don’t know how toyota plans in this regard. if it is put into production in china early, it may be able to compete with domestic plug-in hybrid models.

of course, although the fuel consumption of toyota prius is very low, the overall cost is not necessarily lower than that of domestic plug-in hybrid and extended-range models. the reason is very simple, that is, plug-in hybrid and extended-range have a certain pure electric range, and many car owners actually use pure electric driving a lot, so the overall cost will be lower! this is also the reason why toyota and honda's oil-electric hybrid models quickly fell after the rise of domestic plug-in hybrid models.

in short, toyota does have something in the field of oil-electric hybrid. the fifth-generation prius has set a new fuel consumption record. when converted into domestic oil prices and expenses, it is basically the same level as ordinary electric vehicles. of course, the bigger gap between toyota hybrid and domestic new energy vehicles is still in the field of intelligence.
