Mention BYD, I will subconsciously think of the brand's Dynasty series, such as BYD Qin, Yuan, Han, etc., of which Han EV and Han DM have achieved good results. However, since the sale of the Dynasty series has entered the new energy vehicle market, BYD's Dynasty series has not launched a new car for a long time, not only that, BYD has also launched a new Ocean Network series on the basis of the Dynasty series, and the series has now launched Dolphin, as well as the upcoming destroyer 05. It is worth mentioning that after the Dolphin of the Ocean Network series entered the market, it achieved monthly sales of 5,000+, ranking among the forefront of the market segment and becoming another "star car" under BYD.
Just when I thought that BYD would put aside the Dynasty series and focus on the development of the Ocean Network series, BYD's Dynasty series has a new car, which is BYD Yuan PLUS. In fact, the declaration chart of the new car was exposed as early as July 2021, but it was not until January 1 this year that the pre-sale was opened, and the pre-price was 132,800-15.28 million yuan. This is not the first model in the "Yuan" dynasty, but it is the first compact SUV in the "Yuan" dynasty, so the price will be much higher than the Yuan and Yuanpro, in the same way, the comprehensive product strength of the new car will be much stronger, then, let's take a look at it together.
Since the metaPLUS focuses on the new energy compact SUV market, the front face directly adopts a closed design and integrates the latest Dragon Face 3.0 design language of the BYD family. The narrow style of the headlight is embedded on both sides of the lid, and the iconic wide-body silver decorative strip is also left between the headlights, which is engraved with the "Yuan" LOGO with the word "Yuan" in the C position of the small seal, which increases the status symbol and also improves the sense of sophistication. The lower front bumper surface is inlaid with penetrating black trim strips, the black lower grille at the bottom, and the silver skid plate, all of which enhance the sporty atmosphere of the front of the car.
Coming to the side, the 4455mm long body adopts a bumpy design, the surface layer is also engraved with multiple lines, bringing obvious fluidity, the side skirt part is inlaid with black slender decorative strips, which are integrated with the guard plate at the front and rear eyebrows, plus the multi-spoke wheel hub with a silver and black two-tone design, which improves the recognition of the body. The design of the rear is not complicated, the flat shape of the spoiler and the roof into one, the middle is embedded with a high brake light, the line of sight down, you can see the tail light of the through-design, the tail light surface layer is also blackened, in addition, the rear bumper surface layer is engraved with a penetrating wide-body black decorative plate, which widens the visual width of the rear end and improves the sense of stability of the rear.
The interior of the metaPLUS is personally operated by the chief design director, which integrates the concept of "rhythmic space" into it, bringing different visual and tactile senses. It can be seen that the three-panel multi-functional steering wheel is wrapped in leather, the inner three-frame and the outer steering wheel are inlaid with silver decorative strips, the steering wheel horn position adopts a three-dimensional circular design, and the embedded LOGO surface is also decorated with black bright board decorative strips. The two-color design of the center console adopts a muscle streamline design, both ends are inlaid with dumbbell tablet-style air conditioning air outlets, and the middle is used to place a 15.6-inch suspension central control screen, which has a built-in DiLink 4.0 (4G) intelligent network connection system, in addition to simple voice control, it also provides K song mode, singing anytime and anywhere.
As for power, the new car will be equipped with a permanent magnet synchronous motor with a total power of 150 kW, which will bring a maximum power of 204 horsepower, and the matching lithium iron phosphate blade battery will provide a maximum range of 430 km and 510 km. Although the audience of the new energy compact SUV market is not as high as the audience of the fuel compact SUV market, there are many pure electric models in the new energy compact SUV market, in addition to the song PLUS new energy with stable monthly sales in the ranks of 10,000 vehicles, there are also Xiaopeng G3, Volkswagen ID.4 CROZZ, etc. whose monthly sales are stable in the four-digit ranks, of which Xiaopeng G3, The maximum endurance of the Volkswagen ID.4CROZZ is more than 510km, so it seems that the maximum endurance of BYD Yuan PLUS is not dominant.
Through the analysis of the appearance and interior design of BYD Song PLUS, it can be found that the appearance of the new car is not inferior to the previous dynasty models, especially the interior designed with the concept of "rhythm space", which improves the high-end sense of the interior. The power performance is not bad, but the endurance part is slightly insufficient, however, the maximum endurance of BYD's Song PLUS new energy vehicles is actually comparable to that of the yuan PLUS, but the former's monthly sales are still in the ranks of 10,000 vehicles, which shows that the endurance will not become a stumbling block to the sales of the yuan PLUS.
