A few days ago, my colleague wanted to buy a car and looked at the new BYD dollar PLUS. I said that there are some good models in the same class on the market, such as GAC Aion Y, which sells well and is also very popular in Shanghai, why not consider it?
So colleagues said that the yuan PLUS is the first A SUV of the e platform 3.0, which is completely different from the previous yuan pro and so on.
In fact, in November last year, I mentioned in my article: "BYD Yuan Pro does not represent BYD's new level of car manufacturing, the new car yuan PLUS is." Yuan PLUS will be listed in the first quarter of next year, and friends who like BYD can wait. ”
Indeed, now bydir dollar PLUS is coming, the pre-price is 132,800-15.28 million yuan. Let's take a look at how strong it compares to Aion Y.
Compact SUV with equal appearance and space
The MetaPro we are familiar with is a small SUV, while the MetaPLUS is a compact electric SUV with a much larger size. It adopts BYD's latest e-platform 3.0 like Dolphin, with body dimensions of 4455× 1875×1615mm, and a wheelbase of 2720mm.
The Aion Y measures 4410x1870x1645mm and has a wheelbase of 2750mm. It reflects the characteristics of the pure electric platform body is short and the wheelbase is long.
In terms of design, the yuan PLUS is designed by Wolfgang Egger, by BYD's global styling director, and the Dragon Face 3.0 family design language is on par with Han EV and Song PLUS. The main young colors are five sports-related colors: surf blue, ski white, climbing gray, adventure green, and parkour red.
The wind resistance coefficient of the whole vehicle is 0.29Cd, which is excellent in the same level of SUV.
Similarly, the exterior design of GAC Aion Y has been recognized by the market, and the new AION Y has launched 7 models in one go, with a price guidance range of 10.96-15.76 million, and the main upgrades are also focused on the appearance and technology configuration.
For example, two new appearance colors, Star Green and Ice Rose Pink, have increased the AION Y car color to 9, and the new two colors are also in line with the aesthetics of young people.
Performance, BYD Yuan PLUS has an overwhelming advantage
Although the MetaPLUS, like the Aion Y, is a front-wheel drive single-motor design, BYD's AC permanent magnet synchronous motor has a maximum power of 150 kW and a maximum torque of 310 Nm, which is exactly the same as the larger Volkswagen ID.4.
Therefore, the acceleration time of the metaPLUS of 0 to 100km/h is 7.3 seconds, which is a relatively good performance in the electric SUV at the same price. BYD's electric vehicles have a characteristic, in terms of performance are stronger than their peers, including the use of more powerful motors.
If Aion Y is insufficient, the motivation is one. It is equipped with two kinds of permanent magnet synchronous motors with different powers, including the 60 models with a maximum power of 70 kW, the 70 and 80 motors with a maximum power of 135 kW, and the peak torque of 225 Nm. This dynamic can only be used in cities.
However, it is reminded that compared with the Volkswagen ID.4, Tesla and other single-motor models, they all use a rear-wheel drive layout. Due to the instantaneous torque of the motor, the front-drive BYD and Ae-An are not as efficient as the rear-drive models on slippery roads.
Blade battery and ternary lithium, who has more advantages in endurance?
In fact, many friends choose BYD, all for the blade battery. The metaPLUS long-life blade battery can be recharged and discharged more than 3,000 times, and theoretically supports driving range of more than 1.2 million kilometers.
The metaPLUS is also equipped with a heat pump system, which increases the low temperature endurance by 20%. Make full use of the heat of the whole vehicle, reduce the loss of battery energy consumption, and effectively improve the driving range in winter.
At present, the yuan PLUS has two types of endurance models, the clTC comprehensive working range of 50.12kWh has a battery capacity of 430 kilometers, and the long-endurance version of 60.48kWh has a battery capacity of 510 kilometers.
In terms of endurance, GAC Aion Aion Y 60 and 70 are equipped with two different capacities of lithium iron phosphate batteries of 55.5kwh and 63.98kwh, because the motor power is 70Kw and 135Kw, and the endurance is 410 km and 500 km, respectively.
The Type 80 is equipped with a 135Kw motor, a ternary lithium battery with a capacity of 76.8 kWh, and a comprehensive working life of 600 kilometers in NEDC.
summary
Appearance and brand, the two can be described as equal, depending on your preferences. The advantage of Aion Y is that the entry price is low, only 109,600 yuan, while the yuan PLUS pre-price is starting from 132,800 yuan.
But if you like a strong-powered model, then the first choice ISD yuan PLUS, GAC Aion Aion Y's 135kW price also went up.
Many friends like BYD because of the blade battery, the blade is only the encapsulation form, Aeon's 60, 70 version is also lithium iron phosphate battery, theoretically the safety is the same.
If you like long battery life, the Aion Y of the ternary lithium battery has a range of up to 600 kilometers, and if you are a car buyer in the north, the performance of ternary lithium is theoretically better than lithium iron phosphate at extremely low temperatures.
