On December 20, BYD began to issue a notice of yuan PLUS withholding price to offline dealers. According to the notice, the yuan PLUS is divided into 5 versions, with two cruising ranges of 430 kilometers and 510 kilometers, and the withholding price is between 130,000 and 155,000 yuan. The car was unveiled at the 2021 Guangzhou Auto Show and will be officially launched in the first quarter of 2022.
It is understood that the withholding price of the car seems to be only the "estimated price", does not represent the final price of the car, which means that the price range of the yuan PLUS is not necessarily between 130,000 and 155,000 yuan, and may be higher or lower. After the pre-sale is opened, BYD will carry out more refunds and less replenishment operations for dealers.
The appearance of the yuan PLUS changed the style of the previous yuan pro, using BYD's new Dragon Face 3.0 design language, the sharp "dragon face" headlights with the front face of the penetrating chrome trim, much more domineering than the old yuan series. As a "Plus" model, its shape should also be more atmospheric. It is worth mentioning that the metaPLUS cancels the design of the spare tire outside the tail, and the tail is more integrated.
The new meta PLUS is the first compact tide running SUV created by BYD e platform 3.0, inheriting some of the characteristics of the platform, such as short front suspension short rear suspension, long wheelbase, etc., the advantage is that the longitudinal space of the body has been increased, which can increase the comfort of the ride, and should be more friendly to tall people.
The design of the interior of the new car is more exquisite, quite a bit of sports car atmosphere, equipped with a rotatable central control screen that only the flagship model has, as well as an independent floating LCD dashboard, but the dashboard is a little small, and it is estimated that the speed is a little inconvenient.
In terms of power, the yuan PLUS is equipped with an AC permanent magnet synchronous motor with a maximum power of 150kW and zero hundred acceleration in only 7.3 seconds. The car is also equipped with BYD's unique lithium iron phosphate blade battery, the battery capacity is 50.1kWh, 60.5kWh, which can fully meet the needs of transportation and commuting in the city, and the small partners who often run long distances may also need to wait and see.
The previous meta-series have hybrid version and fuel version, I don't know if this time will launch a DM-i version, for the sake of battery life, many users will give priority to hybrid models, and BYD cars equipped with DM-i technology have sold very much in these months.
As a compact tide running SUV, the appearance design is pleasing, the configuration is enough to have a good interior, and it should be the main young consumer market. Xiao Lei speculated that the starting price of the yuan Plus may be slightly lower than 130,000, after all, it may be a little less cost-effective than song PLUS DM-i.
