Geely's i-HEV integrates AI, the i-CMA architecture, and AI Cloud Power to elevate hybrid intelligence and driving performance.
The i-HEV achieves a fuel consumption of 2.22L/100km and a thermal efficiency of 48.41%, setting new global and industry records.
This hybrid technology further strengthens Geely Auto's diversified energy strategy and its vision for green mobility.
Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province (China) - Geely Auto, leveraging its global leadership in automotive AI, has officially announced its i-HEV intelligent hybrid technology. The new system completely redefines the potential of hybrids, delivering outstanding intelligence, world-leading fuel efficiency, EV-like refinement, and enhanced safety and reliability. The technology will enter mass production simultaneously with its announcement and will be featured in the new generations of several best-selling models scheduled for release this year, including the Preface (Xingrui), Monjaro (Xingyue L), Starray (Boyue L), and the fifth-generation Emgrand (Diháo).
The new i-HEV is designed to address unresolved industry needs, specifically, stagnant fuel efficiency improvements, performance compromises made for the sake of economy, and delays in smart features. Geely Auto transforms these 'past gaps' into strengths by integrating its full-domain AI technology system, advanced dedicated hybrid powertrain, and future-oriented new energy technologies.
At the core of the i-HEV technology are Full-domain AI 2.0 and the i-CMA architecture (an evolution of the successful CMA platform, optimized for hybrids). This architecture integrates intelligent driving, cockpit, and chassis with a single centralized brain.
Furthermore, the i-HEV debuts the innovative 'AI Cloud Power,' a technology that can self-optimize gasoline and electric energy management in real time. By sensing external data such as temperature, humidity, and elevation with AI, it intelligently determines the optimal gasoline/electric strategy, improving overall energy efficiency by more than 10%. This creates a truly AI-driven hybrid system, distinctly different from conventional engine-plus-motor combinations. The i-HEV's engine also achieves an industry-record thermal efficiency of 48.41%.
Strategically decoupling the engine and electric motor for a motor-driven layout. The i-HEV moves away from engine-centric models to a motor-driven configuration. This provides a genuine electric driving experience without the need for charging, combining brisk acceleration with a smooth, quiet, and comfortable ride. Key performance indicators are as follows:
· Electric motor output: Up to 230kW
· Electric drive ratio: Approximately 80%
· Top speed in EV mode: 66km/h
· 0-30km/h acceleration: 1.84 seconds
Safety and reliability meet the highest global standards. Backed by Geely Auto's world-class global safety center and industry-leading safety capabilities. The i-CMA architecture ensures the safety of oil and electricity separation from the outset. Additionally, the Geely Battery Safety System provides 24-hour onboard and cloud protection. This system uses a liquid-cooled battery, features the industry's highest IP68 rating (dust and water resistance), and can accurately predict over 50 types of faults in real time. Combined with rigorous verification at Geely Auto's unique testing facilities, the i-HEV is established as one of the safest hybrid technologies in the world.
Comment from Jerry Gan (Geely Auto Group CEO)
'Energy diversification is a strategic foresight for Geely Auto. A company's true strategic focus lies in ensuring that all paths lead to the future, which tests the technological depth of our entire system and our strong energy resilience. The new i-HEV magnificently embodies this resilience and is powerful proof that artificial intelligence can elevate hybrid efficiency and performance to new industry standards.'
