3 · Everyday experience

What is the HS3 PHEV like to drive and use every day?

Only current English content and deterministic published facts are shown. Dimensions are not treated as proof of ride comfort.

Driving & performance

Typical trims are strong, with a further step up on higher trims.

Published power, acceleration and drivetrain show how performance changes across trims; they do not replace an untranslated road-test verdict.

Published evidence

  • • Published power spans 140–168 kW across current trims.
  • • Published 0–100 km/h times span 7.6–8.9 sec 0–100 km/h.
  • • Drivetrain choices: Front-wheel drive.
  • Slight abruptness when engine intervenes
  • Plug-in hybrid acceleration linearity
  • Acceleration performance decreases under low battery conditions
  • Above average for typical maximum power across 43 series
  • Mid-pack for typical 0–100 km/h across 33 series

Cabin comfort

Core comfort equipment is consistent across the lineup.

This conclusion uses only direct seat, suspension and climate equipment. Body dimensions are not treated as proof of ride comfort.

Published evidence

  • • Second-row functions — Standard across all trims.
  • • Suspension — Standard across all trims.
  • • Climate control — Standard across all trims.
  • • Cargo access — Standard across all trims.
  • Generous rear legroom; suspension tuning biased towards comfort.
  • Outstanding rear seat performance in a compact SUV
  • Slight hump in the middle floor

Space & practicality

Paying more does not buy a larger body or longer wheelbase.

All current trims use the same key body dimensions, so trim choice changes equipment and performance rather than cabin size.

Published evidence

  • • Seating capacity: 5 seats.
  • • Body length: 4,655 mm, unchanged by trim.
  • • Wheelbase: 2,770 mm, unchanged by trim.
  • • Audio system — Standard across all trims.
  • • Powered cargo access — Standard across all trims.
  • With a comprehensive long-distance range, it is suitable for long journeys
  • The actual pure electric range is affected by temperature.
  • Comprehensive range up to 1435km, worry-free for long journeys
  • Below average for length across 43 series
  • Mid-pack for wheelbase across 43 series

Smart tech & daily use

Core connected features are standard across the lineup.

Only formally defined connected, assistance, parking and display parameters are included.

Published evidence

  • • Driver assistance — Standard across all trims.
  • • Center screen — Standard across all trims.
  • • OTA updates — Standard across all trims.
  • • Connected car services — Standard across all trims.
  • • Voice control — Standard across all trims.
  • Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) + Over-the-Air (OTA), feature-rich; comes standard with L2 level of assisted driving.
  • System supports OTA upgrades
  • Application ecosystem needs to be enriched

Reference data

Specs explained

High-value published parameters are shown only where the current visible trims provide them.

China list price

CN¥159,800–CN¥161,800

The published China list-price range shows the entry point and how far upper trims extend. This parameter changes with trim choice; compare the key trims before deciding.

Mid-pack among comparable series with sufficient data

CLTC range

115–125 km

A protocol-labelled laboratory rating for comparing trims; it is not a guaranteed real-world distance. This parameter changes with trim choice; compare the key trims before deciding.

Below average among comparable series with sufficient data

WLTC range

93–102 km

A protocol-labelled laboratory rating for comparing trims; it is not a guaranteed real-world distance. This parameter changes with trim choice; compare the key trims before deciding.

Below average among comparable series with sufficient data

Battery capacity

18.4 kWh

Battery capacity helps explain range potential, weight and charging needs. The published value is the same across all current trims.

Below average among comparable series with sufficient data

Maximum power

140–168 kW

Published maximum power helps frame acceleration capability and overtaking reserve. This parameter changes with trim choice; compare the key trims before deciding.

Above average among comparable series with sufficient data

Maximum torque

280–340 N·m

Torque is one input to initial response; calibration, gearing and traction also matter. This parameter changes with trim choice; compare the key trims before deciding.

0–100 km/h

7.6–8.9 sec

A lower published 0–100 km/h time indicates quicker straight-line acceleration. This parameter changes with trim choice; compare the key trims before deciding.

Mid-pack among comparable series with sufficient data

Drivetrain

Front-wheel drive

Drivetrain changes traction and can separate entry and performance trims. The published value is the same across all current trims.

Seats

5

Seat count is a capacity fact, not proof of passenger comfort. The published value is the same across all current trims.

Length

4,655 mm

Length affects road footprint and parking space; it does not directly prove cabin room. It is the same across all current trims, so paying more does not change this cabin-packaging dimension.

Below average among comparable series with sufficient data

Width

1,900 mm

Width affects road and parking footprint and may support shoulder room, without proving it. It is the same across all current trims, so paying more does not change this cabin-packaging dimension.

Wheelbase

2,770 mm

Wheelbase is a packaging dimension and is not used alone as a ride-comfort conclusion. It is the same across all current trims, so paying more does not change this cabin-packaging dimension.

Mid-pack among comparable series with sufficient data

Body style

SUV

Body style helps frame access and cargo layout, but exact usability still depends on the vehicle. The published value is the same across all current trims.
