Built on the same platform as Dolphin, short body and long wheelbase, how is BYD's yuan PLUS product strength?
2021 is a year for BYD to fully enter the field of new energy, not only the DM-i and Song PLUS DM-i represented dm-i plug-in hybrid models have been unanimously recognized by the market, and the dolphin created by BYD's new e platform 3.0 has also received widespread attention from the market, and the exquisite and rounded design style coupled with the short body and long wheelbase design has made the dolphin a 100,000 yuan pure electric vehicle star product, especially loved by female consumers.
With the diversification of the product matrix, bydio yuan PLUS, which was built on the same platform as Dolphin, opened a pre-sale, with a pre-price of 132,800-152,800 yuan, and a total of 4 models were launched, which were divided into two endurance versions: 430KM and 510KM. So, as the second SUV model based on the e-platform 3.0, how does BYD Yuan PLUS perform?
Before analyzing, let's review the design of BYD MetaPLUS. From the front face, BYD Yuan PLUS and Dolphin have adopted the same design techniques, full and rounded design orientation makes the front of the car more vivid and three-dimensional, and there are blue decorative elements embellishment under the led headlight crystal at the front of the car, with a flat and exquisite silver trim through the decoration, the sense of layering is distinct and unique.
In terms of size, the bydir yuan PLUS has a length, width and height of 4455/1875/1615mm and a wheelbase of 2720mm. Only from the perspective of the size of the new car, BYD Meta PLUS inherits the technical advantages of the new platform, the length is comparable to the average small SUV, but it has a wheelbase size wider than the same level, and the driving space performance is not weaker than that of the same level of SUV. From the side view, the new car shape and the current BYD SUV show two completely different design concepts, the side lines of the new car are more smooth and natural, less angular sharpness, and the visual posture is more mature.
Compared with the tail design of the current BYD Song PLUS DM-i, the tail light design of the new car is more integrated, the visual effect is more smooth and natural, and the integrated visual atmosphere can significantly enhance the sense of visual high-grade. Combined with the appearance design of the whole vehicle, BYD e platform 3.0 is indispensable, and the rounded texture of the body shape is in place, and the short body and long wheelbase are also a highlight of the platform model.
The second is the interior design, although the interior design of BYD Yuan PLUS is not directly related to the design of dolphins, but from the perspective of interior design, layout, materials, etc., the interior of the new car is interspersed with more dolphin interior design figures, such as a three-frame flat-bottomed multi-functional steering wheel, a columnar electronic gear lever, a corrugated center console, a floating LCD screen, a large-size central control screen and other design elements. Of course, the interior design of the two models is not completely consistent, and the yuan PLUS adopts a simple and pragmatic design style, and the overall texture is still outstanding, meeting the aesthetic needs of the current young consumer group.
In terms of power, the new car follows the front single motor power unit, the maximum power is 204 horsepower, the peak torque can reach 310N·m, and the power parameters are relatively excellent, which can meet the power needs of the vast majority of users. In addition, the new car can be divided into 430KM and 510KM versions, both equipped with blade batteries (lithium iron phosphate batteries), of which the battery energy of the 430KM version is 50.12kWh, while the battery energy of the 510KM version is 60.48kWh, and the whole series supports fast charging mode.
In terms of configuration, the new car has complete functions, all equipped with 12.8-inch adaptive rotation suspension central control screen, and the high-end model also has a 360-degree high-definition holographic transparent imaging system and mobile power station functions. It is worth noting that the new car is equipped with tire pressure display, automatic parking, uphill assist, steep slope slow descent, keyless start, Bluetooth key, battery preheating, mobile phone wireless charging function, main driver electric adjustment, rearview mirror lock car automatic folding, automatic air conditioning, rear seat air outlet and other configurations, practical functions, but low-end models do not have sunroof configuration, 360-degree panoramic image, active safety driving assistance function, and the whole series is equipped with 5-inch LCD instruments, which is somewhat unsatisfactory for the creation of interior technology.
epilogue
Similar to the design method of BYD Dolphin, BYD Yuan PLUS "selling cute" shape is very good, smooth line elements present a distinctive design style, short body and long wheelbase for female user groups to provide greater car convenience, and in terms of power, the new car equipped with motor performance is not bad, not only enough, but also can bring rare driving pleasure in daily life. Secondly, in terms of configuration, BYD Yuan PLUS also shows a high product level, but the deficiency is that the whole series is equipped with 5-inch LCD instruments as standard, and the interior technology sense is slightly insufficient. However, all in all, BYD Yuan PLUS as a new platform to create a pure electric SUV, the product force has reached the same level of leadership, if you can show greater sincerity in pricing, there will undoubtedly be more consumers willing to use "real money" to show support.
