On January 1 this year, BYD Yuan PLUS launched a pre-sale, and the new car has two endurance versions under CLTC conditions, namely 4 models of 430 km and 510 km, with a pre-price of between 13.28-15.28 million. The pre-sale of yuan PLUS means that the BYD yuan family is adding new ding. But the question is, the yuan Pro from the yuan EV is more fragrant or the yuan PLUS is better, how to choose a car? After all, the final price may be more than 30,000 yuan worse!
From the appearance point of view, the meta PLUS, and the meta Pro are basically not much different. Both cars use the BYD family's latest Dragon Face 3.0 design language, and the silver chrome trim on the front face is basically the same as the "Yuan" logo.
However, the meta PLUS is more comfortable than the metapro in the details of the treatment, the meta PLUS charging port is located in the right front of the vehicle, the front of the silver trim under the light strip lit up at night after the visual sense is very strong and more technological.
From the side of the body, the grasp of the meta PLUS in the details still has a certain uniqueness, such as the silver "dragon scale" decorative board of the C pillar, and the layering of the waist line is strong. In terms of the rear, the new car will use the current popular through-type taillight group to bring a strong visual feeling. Unfortunately, the "little school bag" design is no longer visible on the metaPLUS.
Yuan Pro's floating roof design is still futuristic, and the new car's multiple concave surfaces with sharp waistlines highlight the sense of youth. In addition, there are two-color exterior mirrors, dual color block C-pillars and so on. In terms of the rear, the side-open trunk tailgate and classic external spare tire design have a bit of an urban off-road flavor.
From the perspective of model positioning, the body size of the Yuan Pro is 4375mm long, 1785mm wide, 1680mm high, 1680mm wheelbase, and the positioning is a small SUV. The body size of the metaPLUS is better than the metaPro in addition to the height, and the meta PLUS is positioned as a compact SUV, which is one level higher than the metapro. In the case of low space requirements, it is recommended to choose the element Pro, after all, it is cheaper than a lot of money.
In terms of power, the meta PLUS is stronger than the meta Pro, the meta PLUS uses a 150kW motor, and the official zero hundred acceleration is 7.3 seconds, although it is not amazing, but it is absolutely excellent in the same level. Because the endurance is to use two different working conditions test methods, according to common sense to speculate that the real mileage of the metaPro401 km and the real cruising range of the meta PLUS 430 km are similar, not too much attention to the mileage and power or recommend the meta Pro, and vice versa, the recommended meta PLUS.
In terms of interiors and vehicles, it was personally handled by Mikal Paganetti, by BYD's chief interior design director, and it is said that the release of the yuan PLUS was postponed to New Year's Day this year, and a large reason is that the interior aspect was built from the furnace. The center console of the new car adopts a two-color layout, the center console of the muscle streamline, and the dumbbell flap air conditioning outlet on both sides makes the interior look very stretched. The new thrust electronic barrier and air conditioning outlet design is very distinctive, officially said to be the first intelligent cockpit built with the concept of sports and fitness.
It is equipped with DiLink4.0 intelligent network system, Dirac audio 15.6-inch central control screen, support rotation. In the car machine intelligence this piece is better than the meta Pro.
BYD Yuan Pro continues the shape design of the yuan EV, and the simple two words are summed up just right. In addition, the 10.1-inch adaptive rotation suspension Pad has a good sense of technology, equipped with a DiLink3.0 intelligent network system, integrated with speech recognition, voice reminders, Bluetooth hands-free calls, Bluetooth mobile phone music, car digital TV and other functions, not good but not bad.
Through the comparison of the above interior and the car machine, the meta PLUS occupies a great advantage, the car machine intelligence wins in the new, and the interior design wins in the good look. But by these alone, meta PLUS is so much more expensive than meta Pro?
Writing and writing meta PLUS can not see the place, there are those intrinsic things worth talking about.
First of all, the yuan PLUS is the first A-class SUV model of e platform 3.0, the whole series is equipped with heat pump air conditioning, to know that the Volkswagen ID4 heat pump air conditioning optional cost is 9000 yuan, and volkswagen ID4/ ID6 / Audi's heat pump air conditioner is the need to use the high-pressure PTC "non-full-featured low-temperature heat pump air conditioning", BYD's heat pump air conditioner is a "full-featured low-temperature heat pump air conditioner" that does not require high-pressure PTC.
Previously, in a small talk with BYD engineers, the engineers said that the heat pump system can work in a low temperature environment of about -30 ° C. Compared with traditional PTC heating units, the heat pump system has faster temperature control speed and can increase the driving range by 20% in winter. The excellent winter battery performance of BYD Dolphin, which is also equipped with heat pump air conditioning, also confirms the excellence of this set of technology in disguise.
Compared with the three-in-one electric powertrain and circular motor commonly used in the industry, BYD uses the world's first deeply integrated eight-in-one electric powertrain and BYD's self-designed and manufactured card-type flat-line motor, so in the invisible cost, BYD is more willing to use materials.
Write at the end
After the release of the yuan PLUS pre-sale, some netizens felt that it was too expensive to sell, and it was appropriate to be cheaper than 20,000. At that time, I also thought of dolphins, it was appropriate to drop 20,000, and I also wrote a "BYD dolphin pre-sale order is hot, can it sell well?" As a result, he was brutally punched in the face. Sales went from more than 3,000 in the first month to more than 10,000 in December last year. Although buying yuan PLUS is not a loss, I still think that the value of the yuan Pro is more appropriate.
