Some time ago, BYD Tang DM-i officially completed the important milestone of the 50,000th vehicle, and although this achievement made the hybrid label on Tang's body become thicker, it was obviously still difficult to cover up the style of its EV version. Although the latter is worth nearly 100,000 yuan higher than DM-i, it is not inferior in sales performance, especially the top EV models that break through the 300,000 threshold, and shoulder the dual responsibility of image and sales. It is understood that nearly half of the users who buy Tang EV models have chosen the top model.
In fact, there is no shortage of strength in the 300,000-level new energy camp, Model Y, Mustang Mach-E, Alpha T, Ideal ONE, etc., whether it is a joint venture tradition or a new car-making force can find a good choice, and Tang EV can stand out in the strong and powerful, it must have a certain superiority. In order to let everyone more intuitively understand the highlights of Tang EV, we chose to use an electric upstart FREE with a similar price but a higher positioning as an inspector to see what differentiated advantages exist.
In terms of appearance, the dragon face design of the BYD Dynasty series has been well received in the market, compared with the hybrid version, Tang EV's large mouth net is arranged in a checkered matrix, like ancient armor, with chrome trim strips like dragon whiskers on the top and angry headlight groups on both sides, so that the whole vehicle creates a strong sense of unity and impact.
The smooth waistline on the side of the body and the through-type taillight set at the rear add a sense of sportiness and fashion. However, although the appearance of BYD Tang EV is more durable, it is obviously less fresh than the whimsical innovation of new car-making forces.
Lantu FREE draws on many design concepts of the yacht in terms of styling, and integrates many design elements of traditional Chinese culture, creating an elegant and atmospheric visual effect as a whole. The vertical chrome grille with folded corners at the middle net shows enough sense of power, and with the LOGO design of "Kunpeng Spreads Its Wings", it has a good performance in three-dimensional and exquisite.
The waistline of the side crotch layer makes the body look particularly slender, and the tail is also used with a through taillight group. Although the traditional design of the middle grid grid is retained, compared with the Tang EV, the overall design gives people a significantly more technological sense of vision.
In terms of spatial sense, the Tang EV with medium-sized SUV is 4870/1950/1725mm, wheelbase is 2820mm, and the trunk volume is 940-1655L, while the LANTU FREE length, width and height of the medium and large SUV are 4905/1950/1660mm, wheelbase is 2960mm, and the trunk volume is 560-1320L.
The difference between the two in height, wheelbase and luggage compartment volume is still relatively obvious. In terms of seat layout, Tang EV is a 7-seat layout that focuses more on family and practicality, while Landu FREE is a 5-seat layout based on comfort. Differences in body size and seat layout also make the audiences they face a clear difference.
In terms of interior, Tang EV shows a strong electric atmosphere, the grade sense of material material mentions the dragon's claw-like atmosphere light strips make the car have the luxury of the same level, 15.6-inch suspension narrow-edged central control screen and multi-functional two-spoke steering wheel, highlighting a certain sense of science and technology. The Lantu FREE once again shows innovation that breaks through the shackles in the interior, the blue and white interior color is warm and comfortable, and the reversible center console is particularly eye-catching, and the three off-screen and air conditioning outlets can also be lifted and lowered. This kind of high-tech configuration with full personality is still quite attractive to many young consumers.
In terms of configuration, compared with the Top Model of Tang EV, the Lantu FREE four-wheel drive extended range version priced at 313,600 yuan is used as a reference. It can be seen that in the conventional configuration, such as steering wheel function, seat adjustment, lighting configuration, rear independent air conditioning, etc., it is obvious that Tang EV has more advantages, and Lantu FREE has the advantage in configuration mainly reflected in the intelligent driver assistance function, 8 camera + 12 ultrasonic radar + 3 mm wave radar hard core accessories, so that it has enough confidence in automatic parking and auxiliary driving.
In terms of power, the Tang EV high-performance version is a front and rear dual motors, with a comprehensive maximum power of 380kW, a comprehensive torque of 680N·m, and an acceleration of 4.4s per 100 kilometers. And equipped with BYD's unique skill - blade battery, NEDC pure electric endurance of 505km, fast charging 80% only 0.5 hours. And Lantu FREE has pure electricity and extended range two power systems, here we use and Tang EV price is almost the same as the four-wheel drive extended range version to compare, with the drive motor maximum power of 510kW, peak torque of 1040N·m, and with a 140km endurance of ternary lithium battery, NEDC comprehensive fuel consumption of 1.3L/100km, 100 km acceleration of 4.5s.
Through a simple static comparison, we can see that although the price is comparable, Tang EV and Lantu FREE show obvious differences in product strength, and Tang EV's focus is on practicality and safety, such as seat layout, intelligent configuration to battery mounting, for consumer groups who want to safely try electric vehicles. Lantu FREE continues the consistent tide experience of the new car-making forces, and is more eye-catching in terms of technological comfort such as intelligence, space comfort and assisted driving, and the audience is mainly young consumers who pursue personality and fashion. For the new energy market environment, which is still in the stage of perfect development, it is obvious that Tang EV's steady and steady way is more likely to win the recognition of consumers.
