BYD Yuan PLUS is not just a derivative version like other Pro and PLUS models, and the Yuan PLUS belongs to the replacement model of the current Yuan Pro, which is based on BYD e platform 3.0. In addition to using the latest Dragon Face 3.0 design language, the positioning has also been upgraded from small to compact SUV.
The body size is 4455/1875/1615mm, and the wheelbase reaches 2720mm, which is shorter than the honda CR-V and Haval H6 of the same class of fuel models, but the wheelbase maintenance is also a feature of the pure electric platform.
Dragon Face 3.0 has cleaner and smoother body lines than 2.0, the same as big brother Song PLUS EV and Tang EV. The C-pillar on the side of the body is a silver "dragon scale" trim panel, and the taillights have a pinnate light cavity similar to the style of BYD dolphins.
The interior of the MetaPLUS was personally created by the design director Michel Paganetti, with the concept of "rhythmic space" and many highlights in the details.
The lines of the center console and door panels are wavy, the air conditioner air outlet is dumbbell piece style, and the door switch and sound shape are unique. This themed interior design also appears on the dolphins of BYD's Ocean series.
In terms of configuration, the meta PLUS series is equipped with a K song microphone as standard. The flagship version has a 15.6-inch rotating central control screen, equipped with DiLink 4.0 system, supporting language operation, Internet of Vehicles, App applications, and OTA upgrades. In addition, there are VTOL mobile power station, Dirac audio, cloud services and other configurations.
In terms of assisted driving, the yuan PLUS is equipped with DiPilot intelligent driver assistance system, including automatic parking, ACC adaptive cruise, TSR traffic sign recognition, BSD blind spot monitoring, LKA lane keeping, LDW lane departure warning, AEB automatic emergency braking, FCW forward collision warning system, etc., which are outstanding at this price.
The metaPLUS is equipped with a permanent magnet synchronous motor with a maximum power of 204Ps and a peak torque of more than 330 N·m. The battery uses a blade battery of lithium iron phosphate, and the cruising range under NEDC conditions is available in 430km and 510km, with battery capacities of 49.92kWh and 60.48kWh, respectively. The overall parameter performance belongs to the average level of the same level.
The compact SUV class is one of the most competitive markets, but the choice of fuel and pure electric models is completely two categories of people, and there are not many mainstream pure electric SUVs at this level.
10.46-15.76 million yuan
The most direct competitor of the metaPLUS will be GAC AION Y, which is currently the lowest price but the longest battery life of the compact SUV, its largest battery capacity of 76.8kWh, endurance of 600km, while the design and space performance are also highlights, and the entry price is cheap.
12.97-18.28 million yuan
The power of the geometric C is the same as that of the meta PLUS, and the endurance is 400km and 550km optional, but the high-end model is expensive, and it is not a pure electric platform, and the space performance in the car is also general.
10.28-17.98 million yuan
Nezha U is a new power brand model, in the body size has a certain advantage, the power provides 163Ps and 204Ps two, endurance of 400km, 500km, 610km optional, price and configuration range is wide, model choices.
Previously, the price of BYD Song PLUS EV, which is also a compact SUV, was starting from 170,000 yuan, so the emergence of yuan PLUS filled the market gap of BYD's pure electric SUV below 150,000 yuan.
The competition at this price point is not fierce at present, and the metaPLUS has performed well in terms of design, space, configuration, power and endurance, so the final question is what is the cycle of BYD's delivery of the metaPLUS.
