New energy vehicles are becoming more and more recognized by consumers, which is a new change in China's auto market. From the perspective of product classification, new energy vehicles are not only pure electric vehicles, but also hybrid and plug-in hybrid models. In the domestic new energy market, BYD and Tesla are two new energy brands with high attention and high sales, unlike Tesla, which is only involved in the pure electricity market, BYD not only has pure electric models but also plug-in hybrid models. With the overall sales increased significantly, the price of BYD plug-in hybrid models has become more and more affordable, almost at the same price as the same level of fuel vehicles. With the excellent performance of plug-in hybrid models, BYD Qin and Song series models have also become the top of the sales list of compact cars and compact SUVs.
Han is BYD's high-end model, mainly targeting the market of 200,000 to 300,000 yuan, it provides pure electric and plug-in hybrid models. According to the traffic insurance data released by the media, the total number of compulsory traffic insurance for Han EV in 2021 is 78,776 vehicles, the Han DM is 29,956 vehicles, and the annual sales of the Han series exceed 105,000 vehicles.
In order to further enhance its market competitiveness, BYD has also continuously upgraded Han, and in the 352nd batch of new product announcements of "Road Motor Vehicle Manufacturers and Product Announcements" of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the figures of New Han DM-i and Han EV have appeared. In the catalogue of the first batch of recommended models for the promotion and application of new energy vehicles in 2022 released on January 29, 2022, the data of Xinhan DM-i and Han EV were further exposed.
Judging from the model declaration pictures, the new Han DM-i and Han EV have undergone minor changes in appearance, and the overall style is more sporty. In terms of power system, it can be seen from the naming of the new Han DM-i that it adopts BYD's latest DM-i super hybrid system. Xinhan DM-i plug-in hybrid system is composed of Xiaoyun-plug-in hybrid special turbocharged 1.5Ti engine + EHS hybrid system, the maximum power of the engine is 102kw, and there are two kinds of motors, the maximum power and torque are 145kw, 316Nm and 160kw and 325Nm, respectively. In terms of fuel consumption, the fuel consumption of Xinhan DM-i's WLTC 100 km loss is 5.1L and 5.3L, respectively, which is further reduced compared with the 5.9L of Han DM. In terms of pure electric mileage, the HamM-i has two models of 101 km and 206 km. In addition to the above two models that have entered the "New Energy Model Recommendation Catalog", Han DM-i also has a model equipped with a front and rear dual permanent magnet synchronous motors, and the maximum power of the front and rear motors is 160kw in front and 200kw in the rear; from the rear label, it is named Han DM-i AWD, with an acceleration time of 0~100km/h of 3.7s. In terms of batteries, the Han DM-i uses blade batteries.
The change in the new Han EV compared to the current model is mainly the improvement in the battery life. According to the public information, the cruising range of the long-endurance version of the new Han EV reaches 715 kilometers, and the power consumption of 100 kilometers is 13.5kWh; the mileage of the Han EV four-wheel drive version is 610km, and the power consumption of 100 kilometers is 14.9kWh. In terms of endurance, they have improved a lot compared with the 605 km and 550 km of the current model. In order to bring a better experience to car owners, the new Han EV is equipped with a wide temperature range high-efficiency heat pump air conditioner as standard, which can still absorb ambient heat in low temperature environments, reduce air conditioning energy consumption by about 40%, and increase the low temperature mileage by 10% in winter.
Kitten Heart Blue View:
As BYD's high-end new energy models, Xinhan DM-i and HanEV have improved their product strength. The new Han DM-i not only has lower fuel consumption, but also increases the acceleration time of the four-wheel drive version of the 0 to 100 km/h from 4.7s to 3.7s of the current model, and at the same time, its pure electric mileage is also significantly improved compared with the 81 km of the current Han DM. The change of Xinhan EV is that the mileage is longer, which is also valued by pure electric vehicle consumers. In terms of price, Kitten expects the starting price of Xinhan EV and Han DM-i to be around 280,000 yuan and 230,000 yuan.
The increase in the penetration rate of new energy vehicles is a new change in China's car market, from the market feedback, in addition to the increase in sales of pure electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid models are also becoming more and more favored, and many traditional fuel vehicle owners actively choose plug-in hybrid models. With the popularization of technology and the reduction of bicycle costs, plug-in hybrid models of BMW, BYD and other brands have been able to achieve the price of traditional fuel vehicles, which has also accelerated its popularity in the market. From the perspective of consumers, plug-in hybrid models are new energy vehicles that they are very willing to accept, and daily urban commuting is used as an electric vehicle, and long-distance self-driving tours are used as hybrid vehicles, and they can enjoy the low cost of pure electric vehicles and the convenience of fuel vehicles at the same time. Allowing consumers to save money and not add trouble is the reason why plug-in hybrid models are favored, while plug-in hybrid models can also "extra" better driving experience and acceleration.
