In the field of new energy vehicles, BYD has never lacked the word "best-selling", and there are surprises and progress every year in sales. So can the performance of the BYD Meta PLUS EV, which will be officially launched on February 19, be on par with the BYD Dolphin, which was built under the same e platform 3.0?
Before X asks, let's take a look at the meta PLUS EV product highlights
BYD Yuan PLUS EV is the first model in the Dynasty series based on the BYD platform e platform 3.0, equipped with DiLink 4.0 (4G) intelligent network system to achieve account system interoperability, the whole series is equipped with wide temperature range high-efficiency heat pump air conditioning (no high-pressure PTC), and the winter mileage can be increased by 20%. Eight-in-one electric powertrain, set drive motor, transmission, drive motor controller, vehicle controller (VCU), battery manager (BMS), high and low voltage DC converter (DC-DC), two-way vehicle charger (Bi-OBC), high voltage distribution module (PDU) in one.
In terms of power, the four models of the YuanPLUS EV series use an electric motor with a maximum power of 150kW, a maximum torque of 310 Nm, and zero hundred acceleration in 7.3 seconds. There are two endurance versions, namely the 430 km version and the 510 km version, which are equipped with a 50.12kWh battery pack and a 60.48 kWh battery pack, all of which are equipped with blade batteries as standard. The front and rear suspensions are, mcPherson independent suspension and multi-link independent suspension, respectively.
In terms of appearance, the latest design language of the BYD family is used, Dragon Face 3.0, and the silver chrome trim and the "Yuan" logo on the front face maintain the design style of the Yuan family. The charging port of the metaPLUS is located in the right front of the vehicle, and the light strip under the silver trim strip on the front face is lit up at night, and the visual sense is strong and more technological at night, and the rear of the car is equipped with the current popular through-type taillights.
I don't know if this year's Winter Olympics is held at the doorstep, the interior of the yuan PLUS EV adopts the world's first intelligent cockpit built with the concept of sports and fitness, dumbbell piece air conditioning outlet, thrust electronic barrier, muscle streamline center console and other sports and fitness elements, closely following the current sports, healthy life concept. However, the current aesthetic is always different, and the interior of the meta PLUS EV has also been complained about.
Is MetaPLUS upgraded on the basis of MetaPro?
Both Yuan PLUS and Yuan Pro are children born to a "mother", and both have the surname "Yuan" and look like normal. But the meta PLUS is definitely not a metapro adaptation.
The two are different in terms of model size, power, electronic and electrical architecture, production platform, etc., and the Yuan PLUS is a new car series of the Yuan family of the Dynasty series.
From the perspective of model positioning, the body size of the Yuan Pro is 4375mm long, 1785mm wide, 1680mm high, 1680mm wheelbase, and the positioning is a small SUV. In addition to the height of the metaPLUS, the body size of the metaPLUS is better than the metaPro, and the meta PLUS is positioned as a compact SUV, which is one level higher than the meta pro, and the power and endurance are also higher than the meta Pro.
BYD yuan PLUS next year to replace the second generation of blade batteries, battery energy density of 180Wh/kg?
This question is asked by friends, it can be seen that BYD's second-generation blade battery is very popular, it is said that it can increase the energy density of the battery to 180Wh/kg, and the same weight battery can provide more power.
As I mentioned in a previous article, this year BYD may be equipped with a second-generation blade battery of 180 watts / kg, equipped with a fifth-generation chip LGBT to reduce power consumption by 20%, improve the power and torque of the motor, improve the range of the motor by 3%. The known models are basically 150 watts /kg, so IT's very likely that BYD's second-generation blades will be equipped on the Ocean Net model first, or on BYD's high-end brand first.
According to the time speculation, next year BYD yuan PLUS replacement of the second generation of blade batteries is very likely, but the gossip news, today to see the news, "the United States Amprius company announced the shipment of the first batch of commercial 450Wh/kg lithium-ion battery cells" If the 450Wh/kg battery is used in electric vehicles, what is the concept!
Which version of BYD Dollar PLUS is appropriate?
BYD Yuan PLUS released 4 models, low and high match difference of 20,000 yuan, in fact, is a good choice. Compared with other traditional car companies, the difference between low and high-end vehicles at this level is 50,000 yuan is normal, and more than 10 models are released at every turn on a car series, in addition to making peer pressure, making editors very helpless, and making it difficult for their customers to choose! It's not that the higher the selling price span, the better.
If there is no problem with the budget, directly choose the top version with the highest cost performance, the PLUS 510KM flagship.
Budget limited can choose to ADD 430KM luxury type and yuan PLUS 510KM premium type (honor type has external discharge function) configuration is basically the same, the pre-sale price difference of 10,000 yuan. The recommended choice plus 510KM Premium type with requirements for battery life, and vice versa, choose plus 430KM Deluxe type.
Budget is enough but there is no requirement for battery life, the recommended element PLUS 430KM Premium, basically the top version has the active/passive security configuration and entertainment configuration meta PLUS 430KM Premium type has.
Can the sales of metaPLUS be on par with those of dolphins?
Needless to say, the popularity of BYD Dolphins is that some stores in Beijing are selling out. So can metaPLUS replicate dolphin success?
Yes, SINCE THE BYD YUAN PLUS EV was pre-sold on January 1, according to informed personnel, the pre-sale/intention order has exceeded 10,000, and the yuan PLUS has been upgraded to varying degrees in the product surface, and the product force is still online.
The meta PLUS EV is very strong, but the Euler good cat, AION Y, and Nezha U at the same price point are not weak.
