Comparison of Direct Injection vs. Combined Injection: Which Is Better?

Direct Injection vs. Combined Injection: A Core Concern for Car Owners

In the field of automotive engine fuel injection technology, the choice between direct injection and combined injection has always been a core concern for car owners. The two technologies differ significantly in power output, fuel economy and maintenance costs, so a rational judgment should be made based on actual driving scenarios.

Advantages of Combined Injection Technology

The combined injection system achieves optimal fuel supply under different working conditions through the intelligent switching between port fuel injection (PFI) and direct injection (DI).
  • Low-speed working conditions: It adopts port fuel injection, which can effectively reduce the risk of in-cylinder carbon deposits (reducing by about 50% compared with pure direct injection).
  • High-speed & high-load working conditions: It switches to direct injection mode, which improves combustion efficiency and power output.
Data shows that compared with pure direct injection, combined injection can reduce fuel consumption by 7%-10% during urban commuting, extend the carbon deposit cleaning cycle to 40,000–60,000 km, and cut maintenance costs by about 23%. In addition, it is easier to meet the National VI B emission standard, increasing the annual inspection pass rate by 25%.

Core Features of Direct Injection Technology

The direct injection system sprays fuel directly into the combustion chamber. It delivers better fuel atomization under high-load working conditions, increasing torque output by about 10% compared with combined injection, and enabling quicker response during high-speed overtaking.
This technology has a relatively simple structure. For models with the same configuration, the purchase cost is 15,000–20,000 yuan lower than that of combined injection models. When cruising at a high speed of 120 km/h, its fuel consumption is 12% lower than that of combined injection, making it suitable for high-frequency high-speed driving scenarios
