Nowadays, BYD's product matrix of Qin, Han, Tang, Song and Yuan dynasties has become more and more perfect, but in BYD's dynasty series, the Yuan product series is the least. On February 19th, we finally waited for the yuan PLUS, as the first A-class SUV of BYD e platform 3.0, the official guidance price of the yuan PLUS is 131,800 yuan - 159,800 yuan, a total of 5 models.
In the current A-class pure electric SUV market, there are Xiaopeng G3, a new car-making force, and then there are GAC Aion AION Y and other strength players, does yuan PLUS have the strength to stand out from these competitors? Let's take a look.
7.3 seconds zero hundred acceleration Chassis materials are solid
Power performance is a major selling point of the metaPLUS, which has a powertrain of 150kW peak power, 310N·m peak torque, horsepower of up to 204 horses, acceleration of 100 kilometers in only 7.3 seconds, and energy consumption of 100 kilometers is only 12.1kWh.
Just say that the power data of the metaPLUS you may not feel its strength, then compare the power data of the metaPLUS with the two compact pure electric SUVs currently on the market.
The models compared with the three models are the top models, and it can be clearly seen that the YuanPLUS is superior to the Xiaopeng G3 and AION Y models in terms of maximum power, maximum torque or 0-100km acceleration.
In addition to the power data, the chassis tuning and suspension of a model are also very important. In terms of suspension, the metaPLUS uses the former McPherson independent suspension and the rear multi-link independent suspension, and what about the competitor models in the same class? Without further ado, I will use a table to show it.
Everyone also knows that no matter how good your chassis adjustment power is, the multi-link independent suspension is stronger in handling and comfort than the torsion beam suspension, even the Honda and the logo only make the gap between the torsion beam suspension and the multi-link independent suspension further narrow, so in the suspension of the yuan PLUS compared to the Xiaopeng G3 and AION Y and other competitive models are also superior.
In terms of chassis tuning, the metaPLUS chassis tuning was adjusted by the team led by the original Mercedes-Benz S-class chassis tuning expert Hans Kirk, the roll suppression is very significant, and equipped with the new Bosch IPP integrated brake control system, with the CST comfort braking function, so the metaPLUS allows the driver and occupants to have an excellent experience in sports and comfort, which is difficult to experience in the same level of models.
Heat pump air conditioning Blade battery Winter does not instigate usually do not panic
After reading the power and chassis, let's take a look at the endurance and safety aspects of the metaPLUS, which is also the place where everyone is most concerned about pure electric cars.
Yuan PLUS was born in BYD's latest e-platform 3.0, with an eight-in-one electric drive assembly: integrated drive motor, reducer, drive motor controller, PDU (high voltage distribution box), DC-DC (high and low voltage DC converter), Bi-OBC (vehicle charger), VCU (vehicle controller), BMS (battery manager), the overall efficiency of the system is 89%, the volume is reduced by 20% under the same power, and the weight is reduced by 15%.
At the same time, the yuan PLUS has a wide temperature range high efficiency heat pump system, with the ability to work in a wide temperature range of -30 ~ 60 ° C, not only can increase the endurance by 20%, but also allow northern users to use electric vehicles with confidence.
Yuan PLUS also comes standard with a blade battery, the battery capacity has two specifications, namely 50.12kWh and 60.48kWh, the former can provide 430km of mileage for the yuan PLUS, the latter can provide 510km of the mileage for the yuan PLUS, only 30 minutes of fast charging can supplement 80% of the mileage, combined with the use of heat pump air conditioning, in the words of Mr. Wang Chuanfu, the founder of BYD, is "not to panic in winter.".
Marine aesthetics followed by another aesthetic design
In the current era when the appearance of the car affects the sales of the car, the interior and exterior decoration of a car is particularly important, and the yuan PLUS adopts the dragon face 3.0 family design language in the appearance, the new dragon whiskers, the yuanli awakening luminous logo, the wind wing sports wheels and other details of the design, so that the yuan PLUS is not only trendy and fashionable but also full of vitality.
The waist line and low-lying shape on the side highlight the sportiness of the vehicle, and it is worth mentioning that on the side of the body, the Yuan PLUS uses a dragon scale decorative board, which has also been used in the Song pro DM-i model before.
In terms of size, the length, width and height of the yuan PLUS also reached 4455/1875/1615mm, and the wheelbase reached 2720mm, which also has a size advantage in the same class.
The metaPLUS interior is a very big highlight of this car, and with the success of Dolphin's marine aesthetic interior design, the interior of the metaPLUS is inspired by the gym, giving the vehicle a muscular aesthetic.
The interior of the MetaPLUS features a double-panel design with a 15.6-inch rotatable central control screen, a powerful-looking dragon whisker on the center console, and muscle streamlines through the door panel and dashboard.
At the same time, the interior of the metaPLUS also has a lot of gym-based designs, such as dumbbell air conditioner air outlets, treadmill-style central armrests, and string-style door panel decorations, which can be said to be very interesting.
The first "strategic to go global" car
It is worth noting that the yuan PLUS is also BYD's first "strategic sea" global passenger car, officially listed in China at the same time in Australia to open pre-sale, the Australian market named ATTO 3, and as early as the pre-sale in Australia has received more than 15,000 orders and intentions, has a very good market start.
At the same time, BYD will not only sell vehicles in Australia in the form of export, but also signed a long-term agreement with Australia's Nexport company on February 12 last year. The two companies will further strengthen cooperation, planning to cooperate in the development and sales of next-generation vehicles in Australia and New Zealand, and the two companies will invest in the research and development of electric vehicles in terms of technology and funds.
Summary: Although the price of yuan PLUS 131,800 yuan - 159,800 yuan has made some BYD followers quite critical, but carefully think of yuan PLUS, whether in power, safety or internal or design is not only beyond the definition of the previous BYD yuan yu yuan family, completely superior to competitor models such as Xiaopeng G3 and AION Y, in terms of price, yuan PLUS is also lower than the same level of models such as Xiaopeng G3, the strength is more yuan, the price is lower, and the yuan PLUS is called the "bellwether" in the same level of models. The model is also not yuan, now that the yuan PLUS is officially listed, the market of these two competing models will be gradually eroded, for such a powerful model, do you still feel expensive?
