In 2021, BYD's new energy vehicles sold explosively, with cumulative sales of 593,745 vehicles, a record high, worthy of its own brand new energy "brother". At the beginning of the new year in 2022, BYD once again threw out the "king bomb" model - yuan PLUS, to prepare "ammunition" in advance for the impact of higher sales this year.
At present, yuan PLUS has opened pre-sale, and a total of 4 models of new cars have been launched, with a pre-price range of 13.28 to 152,800 yuan.

Moved the gym to the car
Although the yuan PLUS and the yuan pro listed in 2021 both have a "yuan" word on their heads, they do not have much in common, and even the levels are different. The yuan PLUS positioning compact SUV, its length, width and height are 4455/1875/1615mm, the wheelbase is 2720mm, and the yuan Pro positioning small SUV, the size of the three circumference is smaller than that of a circle.
The exterior design of metaPLUS adopts the Dragon Face 3.0 design language, which gives people a simple and atmospheric feeling as a whole. At the same time, the short front suspension, low center of gravity, plus a sneaky back shape, there is a good sense of sport. The body color is available in five types: adventure green, surf blue, climbing gray, ski white, and parkour red.
Compared to the exterior, the interior of the metaPLUS is more stunning. Many netizens have said after reading it: This is to move the gym to the car. In the central control part, the gray area below is designed like a muscle streamline, the air conditioner outlet is like a dumbbell piece, and the central armrest box shaped like a treadmill, and the door switch in the shape of a grip ball. The interior design of this set is indeed quite distinctive.

e Platform 3.0 is the first A-class pure electric SUV
The metaPLUS is also the first A-class pure electric SUV of BYD e platform 3.0, with four core advantages. The first is the aesthetic advantage, the e-platform 3.0 model has a shorter front overhang, a larger shaft length ratio, a lower center of gravity, and a low-lying dynamic shape. The body proportions and structure of the metaPLUS are basically executed according to this, and the final presentation is indeed very beautiful.
The second is the advantage of intelligence, e platform 3.0 adopts a new electronic and electrical architecture, as well as the self-developed in-vehicle operating system BYD OS. Based on the above two, metaPLUS can achieve richer intelligent driving assistance functions, including AEB-CCR automatic emergency braking, ACC-S&G stop-and-go adaptive cruise, LKS active lane keeping, LDWS lane departure warning, LCA parallel assist, etc., to provide safety and convenience for driving.
The third is the advantage of high efficiency, the key modules of e platform 3.0 are smaller, lighter in weight, stronger in performance and lower in energy consumption. Based on this, the meta PLUS can achieve stronger acceleration of 100 kilometers, and the official time is 7.3s. In addition, the electricity consumption of 100 kilometers is also lower, at 12.1kWh/100km. Through the comparison with the competitor models of the same level, it is found that the power consumption of the metaPLUS is really low.
The fourth is the safety advantage, e platform 3.0 standard with a stable and reliable blade battery, and as a structural part into the body integration design, greatly improving safety performance. On the metaPLUS, the blade battery is available in 50.12kWh and 60.48kWh versions, corresponding to a cruising range of 430km and 510km, respectively.
The author searched the electric SUV of 100,000 to 150,000 yuan and found that the mileage was more than 500km, and there were very few models produced by large factories. Like the yuan PLUS, the model with high appearance, the three-electric system has passed, and the battery is safe enough is even more phoenix, so it can be concluded that it will become a blockbuster model.

Can't help but want to spit out two sentences
Seeing this, I can see the author's liking and recognition of the meta PLUS, but for BYD, I still can't help but want to spit two sentences.
The first is design. Let's go to see those overseas mature car brands, their products will have some inheritance or similarities in both appearance and interior, so that users can easily remember and deepen the impression of models and brands. BYD initially changed designs in three days, and after the launch of the Dynasty series and the joining of Egger, its product design finally had a theme. But on metaPLUS, that "no warning" design is "back". Although the interior design of the Yuan PLUS is outstanding, it has never been seen in the previous Dynasty series models, but it has a certain "similarity" with the models under the new Ocean series. The style of the Dynasty series that has been hard to establish in the minds of users has suddenly been destroyed.
In addition, the name of the BYD yuan is also confusing, and it was named "Yuan Pro" after a major overhaul in July last year. Today, BYD's new car is also called "meta PLUS". This mix-and-match, digital product naming method completely makes consumers confused about the relationship between them.
The author cites the above two examples to express a problem, that is, the current BYD can be improved in the long-term planning of products, and this is also a problem for most independent brands. In fact, independent brands are now not inferior to foreign brands in technology, especially in electric technology, but we always lack long-term and patience in building cars. As a result, independent brands always love to deny some of the things they have done before, and the models today have no tomorrow, or they will arbitrarily change the name. All these riotous operations, so that we can never create such impressive models as Civic and Corolla.
