In the domestic new energy vehicle market, BYD is a well-deserved "brother", both technology and sales are leading in China, and the new compact SUV that recently opened pre-sale - BYD Yuan PLUS, has attracted the attention of many young users, and the future is bound to become a new growth point in sales. However, in the market segment, other new energy brands also have many popular products, GAC Aion AION Y is one of them, good practicality and super high cost performance so that its sales have been good. So the question is, from the perspective of product strength, who is stronger, meta PLUS and AION Y? Take a look at the comparison between the two cars.
The metaPLUS design is more harmonious and the AION Y space is more practical
As the first pure electric SUV of the e-platform 3.0, the change of the yuan PLUS can be described as a new look, which is different from any previous BYD car, with a dynamic and harmonious shape and smooth lines, which is in line with most people's aesthetics.
GAC Aion AION Y is a completely different style, personality, trend, avant-garde are its labels, not only in line with the temperament of new energy SUVs, but also young people like to like to like the difference.
In terms of body size, the yuan PLUS has a length, width and height dimension of 4455/1875/1615mm and a wheelbase of 2720mm, while the length, width and height of GAC AION Y are 4410/1870/1645mm and a wheelbase of 2750mm, respectively. The two cars are relatively close in size, the meta PLUS is longer and wider, and the AION Y wheelbase and car height are superior. However, in terms of actual riding, the advantages of AION Y are more obvious, when the front and rear rows are riding passengers with a height of 178cm at the same time, the AION Y rear passengers have nearly one more punch in the leg space than the yuan PLUS, and the head space is also more spacious, which is also a cross-level level in the same level.
Not only that, in terms of storage, GAC Aion AION Y is also richer than the yuan PLUS, and large and small storage compartments can be seen everywhere. In addition, after the front backrest of the AION Y is reclined, it can be completely flush with the rear seat cushion to form a large "recliner"; the rear seat not only supports 4/6 ratio reclining, but also the trunk floor supports high and low adjustment, which is the leading level of practicality in the same class.
Rotate the big screen against a rich selection, fairy fight?
As a pure electric SUV of 100,000-150,000 yuan, GAC Aion Y has a high level of configuration, and the configuration of "gradient" is also very reasonable, in addition to the minimum allocation, the whole series is equipped with more than 17 inches of aluminum alloy wheels, tire pressure alarm, 360 degree panoramic image, 10.25 inch full LCD dashboard, 14.6-inch central control LCD screen, Internet of Vehicles, OTA, LED headlights, automatic air conditioning, rear exhaust air outlet and other configurations, high practicality. Some driver assistance, active safety, seat functions and other configurations are also readily available in medium and high-end models.
The configuration level of the metaPLUS is also relatively high, most of the configuration and GAC AEAN AION Y can do one-to-one correspondence, the main difference is in the remote start, wireless charging, built-in driving recorder and other functions, in this regard AION Y is missing, but the seat heating / ventilation / memory is the meta PLUS does not have.
The main differences between the two cars are not only these, but also these aspects, for example, the metaPLUS is equipped with BYD's ancestral "black technology" adaptive rotation center control screen, 360-degree transparent image, and mobile power station. GAC Aion AION Y has a lot of optional configuration packages, such as the middle model has driver assistance and intelligent parking system, which can be optionally installed; high-end models have parking summoning, cloud monitoring, 540-degree transparent chassis, advanced line control dynamic system, etc., and the optional configuration is very rich.
AION Y has a long endurance and strong metaPLUS power
At present, the BYD Yuan PLUS in the pre-sale stage has launched a total of 5 configuration versions, with a cruising range of 430km and 510km respectively. In terms of power, a 150 kW electric motor with a maximum torque of 310 Nm is used. GAC Aion AION Y model version is more, the mileage is 410km, 500km, 600km optional, power, in addition to the minimum configuration, the rest are used is the maximum power of 135kW, the maximum torque of 225 Nm motor.
From the data point of view, the metaPLUS is more powerful, the driving experience is closer to the fuel vehicle, whether it is low-speed driving or high-speed cruising, it is more confident than the AION Y performance. AION Y's cruising range has obvious advantages, more importantly, combined with the price, less than 150,000 yuan, you can buy a 600km version, which is almost the only one in the same level.
Of course, these are only superficial data, the two cars actually have a lot of differences in the invisible place, such as the meta PLUS is equipped with a four-wheel independent suspension, AION Y rear wheel is a non-independent suspension; the meta PLUS series uses a combination of lithium iron phosphate blade batteries, and uses heat pump air conditioning, and the mileage in the winter car environment is more accurate; the AION Y version with a 600km endurance uses a ternary lithium battery, and the rest uses a lithium iron phosphate battery. Therefore, in general, the two cars have their own advantages in driving and endurance.
summary:
As the first SUV of BYD 3.0 platform, although the metaPLUS is not as good as AION Y in terms of practicality and endurance, some of its sincerity is obvious, such as "black technology" configuration, stronger power, better driving experience, safer blade battery, and more accurate endurance, etc., which are undoubtedly what consumers who like new energy vehicles but want to pursue a safe and smooth car experience want. Similarly, AION Y's good practicality, with higher mileage and other advantages, is more likely to be welcomed and recognized by users who pursue cost-effectiveness. As for who is better, believing that it is right for you is the key.
