The "small fresh meat" in new energy vehicles? BYD Meta PLUS adopts a new design and is attractively powered
In network culture, "small fresh meat" is often used to describe young men, with praise such as "beautiful" and "childish", and it is also applicable to new energy vehicles. BYD e platform 3.0 is a pure electric car platform that BYD has been researching and developing for many years, based on this platform, BYD plans to launch product matrix such as "Ocean" and "Dynasty" in order to further strengthen market competitiveness. In the previously listed BYD Dolphin, the platform advantages have been revealed, and the positive feedback from the consumer market has been obtained by virtue of the youthful product design. Now, as the second product of BYD e platform 3.0, BYD Yuan PLUS "debuted" with a more "beautiful" and "childish" appearance, and the new product design gave Yuan PLUS a higher product starting point, with a pre-price of 132,800 yuan, will it become a blockbuster product like a dolphin?
In terms of appearance design, BYD Yuan PLUS still continues the design language of the Dynasty Family Dragon Face, the difference is that it adopts the 3.0 design concept, the overall shape looks full and lustrous, from the angular visual effect gradually changed to soft and smooth, and from the front face design, the new car is similar to the BYD Yuan Pro style. However, although the new car also has the word "Yuan", the size can no longer be a small SUV body, the length and width of the body have increased, the size is: 4455/1875/1615mm, the wheelbase is upgraded to 2720mm, only from the wheelbase point of view, is the standard compact SUV size.
In other parts of the appearance, BYD Yuan PLUS also has a brilliant design, the new car is equipped with a new five-piece petal rim, cast using different processes, more in line with aerodynamic characteristics, with high recognition. In addition, the waistline design of the new car is also quite eye-catching, and the two raised line shapes and the convex rear arch shape contrast with each other, looking concave and convex, full of power. Incidentally, the side of the new car is also decorated with side skirts in the same color as the paint, and the silver D-pillar trim is embellished, which adds a bit of sporty atmosphere and high-end feeling. The new led through taillights take visual recognition to a new level, supplemented by blackening and chrome trimming for sporty texture.
In terms of interior, the new car feels like coming to the "gym", and the elements in the line of sight are all "fitness" attributes, such as: dumbbell-shaped air conditioner air outlet, grip pusher style electronic gear lever, grip ball shaped door handle, mechanical arm style door panel armrest, three red "strings" storage grid design, etc., full of freshness and fashion. In addition, the interior of the new car also adopts a stylish color scheme of blue/white, and the center console is neat and simple, with a sports-style seat design, which is quite youthful. However, overall, the biggest drawback of the new car interior may be the 5-inch LCD meter, and the screen size is relatively small.
In terms of core power, BYD Yuan PLUS will be equipped with a front-mounted single motor power unit, the maximum power can reach 150kW (204Ps), the peak torque of 310N·m, the official zero hundred acceleration performance of 7.3 seconds, the measured front row of two adult men, the zero hundred acceleration performance of the new car is just 7.3 seconds, and when driving alone, the zero hundred acceleration performance is shortened to 7.06 seconds, it can be seen that the power level of the new car is relatively excellent. It is worth mentioning that the new car has almost no slippage in the initial stage, the tires are well able to withstand the powerful torque of the motor instantaneous explosion, and the ESP body control stabilization system has not intervened, providing a good driving sports experience. In terms of battery life, the new car provides two versions of 430/510 km of battery life, and supports fast charging.
