Since bydy released Ocean Network at the Guangzhou Auto Show last year, its two major product sequences: the pure electric marine life series equipped with e platform 3.0 technology and the warship series equipped with DM-i super hybrid technology, have released two representative models, one is the dolphin that has sold more than 10,000 yuan a month, and the other is the destroyer 05.
But the above two cars are not the protagonists of today's article, because compared with the new cars to be said today, whether it is a cute dolphin or a destroyer 05 with a high value, their design language is slightly "mediocre", after all, they are still in the category of family cars.
In September last year, at the BYD e platform 3.0 conference, in addition to announcing new technologies, the scene also unveiled a new concept car - Ocean-X, and recently the Internet leaked a set of BYD brand new model design manuscripts, if the two pieces of information are combined, combined with the recent news of BYD SEAL, it is obvious that the answer to the series of "Concept Car Ocean-X is the original prototype of the SEAL."
Specifically, unlike the dragon face design language of the existing dynasty series, the marine aesthetic design concept adopted by the new car this time first gives people a more youthful and energetic atmosphere in terms of visual perception. For example, the hood design of the front of the car, the two sides are raised, the middle part is surrounded by the front windshield and falls forward, supplemented by two cover lines, creating a good sense of movement and muscle. In addition, the pure tram's signature closed front face, combined with the wind vents and front lips on both sides, presents an "X" shape that gives the front of the car a stronger fighting atmosphere.
In the side part, the characteristics of the new car e-platform 3.0 model are particularly obvious, and its short front and rear overhang design is matched with a slip-back shape, supplemented by a sharp through-the-waist line, outlining a body posture ready to go. In addition, on the C-pillar of the body, seals can be seen designed with water droplet dot matrix decoration, which further improves the recognition of the whole vehicle.
At the rear of the vehicle, the seal's wide-body low-lying posture can be clearly seen, and the powerful wheel arch shape of Kong Wu, supplemented by the rear encirclement of the diffuser shape, further stretches the visual effect of the tail. At the same time, the raised ducktail tail, the through-type taillight group and the lower bumper, the layering of the three is not bad, and it is also very good in recognition.
After talking about the appearance of byddir seals, let's talk about its connotations. According to the technical characteristics previously announced by e platform 3.0, and some news transmitted by the network, the new car or will be equipped with a new front double wishbone rear five-link chassis structure, and provide two kinds of drive layout of rear drive and four wheel drive, seals Such a configuration is undoubtedly a highlight for consumers who pursue control.
In terms of body size, thanks to the design features of the new car's ultra-short front and rear overhangs, it is reported that the wheelbase of the SEAL will reach 2900mm, which has stepped into the category of B-class cars. In terms of power and endurance, there is a precedent for BYD Han EV in the front, I believe that the seals that focus on coupe positioning should not be weaker than the former's 3.9 seconds in 100 km acceleration performance, and at the same time, under the technical empowerment of blade batteries and e platform 3.0, it is estimated that seals will also have a lot of improvement.
Finally, let's guess at the price of the seal and what its main competitors are. Considering that seals have a wheelbase of 2900mm, the positioning of the new car should be a B-class pure electric coupe, which is close to the positioning of Han EV, so it will be close in price, plus the current new energy upstream raw material guarantee and subsidy decline, the price of the new car is only high or low compared to the price of Han EV when it was launched (214,800 yuan - 284,500 yuan), or sold for 220,000 yuan.
As for its main competitors, it is better to guess, because the competitors of Han EV are also the competitors of seals, that is, xiaopeng P7, Tesla Model 3 and other opponents of the same price and level. Compared with the latter two, the advantages of SEAL are still quite obvious, first of all, the technical blessing of e platform 3.0, the new car's three-electric system will be better, and then the safety performance advantage of the blade battery. As for the comparison of power and endurance, this can only wait for BYD to officially announce it.
In the follow-up, we will continue to pay attention to the relevant information of BYD seals, it is reported that the new car may be officially listed at the Beijing Auto Show in April, I believe that the real car debut at that time should surprise many people. So what do you think about by THE NEW BYD SEAL?
