There was a research report on the Internet entitled "On the Car Buying Preferences of Post-95 Young People", which analyzed more than 7.6 million young user samples and interviewed more than 1,300 post-95 users to explore the unique car purchase concept of post-95s. The report shows that the post-95 generation is a generation that believes in "beauty is justice", with a distinct demand for car purchase, 90% of people are more concerned about the appearance of the car, it can be said that the appearance is the first element of their choice of car, and the second place is the vehicle performance, then in today's "inner volume" serious car track, is there a model that can meet the requirements of the "picky" post-95s?
Recently, BYD's yuan PLUS was launched, with a price range of 131,800-159,800 yuan, and a total of 5 models were launched. BYD has arranged more new elements for the new meta PLUS, a new pure electric platform, 7.3 seconds acceleration of 100 kilometers... And all this just hits the current young generation's car buying needs, so can it become the "meta" universe in the car?
Appearance PLUS
Since the post-95 generation believes in "appearance is justice", we will start from its appearance part.
The chrome trim strip has added a luminous "yuan" character tag
The meta PLUS around the latest Dragon Face 3.0 design language, the most obvious update in the appearance part is: 1, chrome trim added to the "yuan" word luminous wordmark; 2, the whole series of standard LED near and far light combination headlights; 3, through-line LED tail lights; 4, high recognition of the dragon scale D pillar and other elements.
Undoubtedly, under the leadership of Wolfgang Egger, the light language design of the appearance part of the metaPLUS is the "highlight", in which the LED near and far light combination headlights have a lighting width of 16.7 meters, and when you unlock/block, the front and rear LED headlights show a breathing light effect, slowly lighting up, a good combination of longyan elements and sense of technology, and this is the standard of the whole series.
The same is true in the rear part of the car, although the "inner roll" to this day, the through-type taillights have been a bit "rotten street", so everyone is fighting for details. The metaPLUS uses multiple LED lights on both sides of the through LED taillight to create a feather effect, and the minimum luminous surface width of each small LED module is only 5mm.
In terms of size, the meta PLUS as a whole has a relatively large length, the length, width and height of the vehicle are: 4455×1875×1615, which also allows BYD to step into the ranks of compact SUVs.
Interior PLUS
The starting price of the yuan PLUS is 13.18, and if only from the design part of the bargain, in my personal aesthetic, its interior is at least worth 100,000! As early as 4 years ago, BYD first let us see its impressive center control rotating screen, the first model is BYD Tang.
The meta PLUS we shot this time is equipped with a 15.6-inch adaptive rotation suspension Pad, DiLink 4.0 intelligent network connection system can achieve most of the vehicle status viewing, control functions, provide vehicle and owner of humanized multi-touch interaction, AutoNavi map and other software can be used directly, but also support vertical screen playback. Maybe it's the vehicle that I drive every day is a traditional brand of oil truck, but what impressed me in this part is the interaction system that wakes up through "Hello, Xiaodi", which is very good in both recognition rate and fluency.
Muscle streamline center console, dumbbell air conditioner outlet
The interior details are dominated by Michael Paganetti (who worked for Mercedes-Benz), and the design theme of the metaPLUS interior is the sports gym, and the big guy embodies this proposition composition on the muscle streamlines that run through the interior of the car, the dumbbell air conditioner outlet, and the thrust electronic gear rod.
In addition, the design highlights at the door panel are also full, first of all, it integrates the door switch to the sound speaker, and the good looks are certain, although it may make the first time people who take this car do not know how to open the door and get off the car for the first time. However, when you turn on the mood lights at night, you will find out how much this design is a plus!
At the same time, the string-style door panel decorations below can also be plucked, and there is a corresponding sound coming out, which should be from my personal sense of sound: Do-Ri-Mi. But it's not just a decorative piece, it can also serve as a fixed storage, all around 4 doors, just don't let the "bear child" next door find it.
Leather flat-bottomed three-spoke steering wheel
One-piece sports seat
In terms of configuration, we can see that the whole series is equipped with a leather flat-bottomed three-spoke steering wheel and an integrated sports seat, which has not fallen at all in the sporty design elements.
At the same time, in terms of spatial performance, its basic wheelbase data is 2720mm, what is the concept of this data? You can check some of the joint venture brands with high sales of 200,000 yuan. At the same time, thanks to the fact that it is a pure electric model, its rear row is flat, while giving the "respect" of the rear row middleman, our colleagues who are 180cm tall sit on the 5 seats of the car are very sufficient, and the legs are probably 1-2 punches of space. And the back row supports a 4:6 ratio that can be put down.
Power PLUS
But one of the selling points of the metaPLUS that everyone pays attention to is absolutely inseparable from its blade battery. The metaPLUS is equipped with the new BYD e platform 3.0, which is only used to produce pure electric vehicles (incompatible with fuel, hybrid).
Let's first look at some of the basic parameters of BYD Yuan PLUS: front-facing front-drive AC permanent magnet synchronous single motor, maximum power 150kW, peak torque 310N·m, 7.3s acceleration per 100 km/h. The clotto operating range is 430 km and 510 km, respectively.
In the actual experience, the initial stage is the same as most electric vehicles, very quiet and smooth. In addition to being very smooth at low speeds, the acceleration ability of 0-60km/h is relatively strong, and it is also matched in the high-speed range, and in the sport mode, 80-100km/h speed can still bring sufficient acceleration strength.
In terms of driving comfort, chassis performance is arguably the most enjoyable point that MetaPLUS can make you drive. On the one hand, the 4-link independent rear suspension of the meta PLUS has better handling and comfort because the suspension is more adjusted. And in places where resonance is easy to occur, such as swing arms, add shock absorbing blocks, the suspension support is sufficient, and the body that passes through potholes or large angles is also stable enough, and the rear ride will not feel too much roll and aftershocks.
On the other hand, because it is an electric vehicle, thanks to the weight of the battery itself to reduce the center of gravity of the vehicle, while adjusting solidly. After opening up, you can feel the overall sense of the chassis, there will be no excessive shaking through bad roads or dense speed bumps, and the treatment of vibrations will be soft and there will be no loose feeling.
In terms of endurance, in the actual test drive, we went from Bao'an District in Shenzhen to Nanshan District, and the comprehensive power consumption was about 15 degrees per 100 kilometers. The kinetic energy feedback method has two adjustable gears (standard / larger), there is almost no drag feeling when driving in the low-speed road conditions of the city, basically will not do kinetic energy recovery below 20km/h, only when driving at high speed can you feel the obvious kinetic energy recovery braking effect, and the comprehensive endurance achievement rate is relatively close to the industry average. Also thanks to e-Platform 3.0, this means it can work at 800V, so it allows you to charge up to 80% of the battery in 30 minutes.
Configuration recommendations
BYD yuan PLUS has a total of 5 configurations, the price after comprehensive subsidies is 13.18-159,800 yuan, the first 4 configurations compared with the previous pre-sale price have a decrease of 1,000 yuan, and increase the top model 510KM flagship PLUS. There are two cruising ranges of 430km and 510km to choose from, and the first owners install charging piles free of charge (until March 31 this year).
Among them, the difference between the low-end of 430km or 510km compared to the high-end/sub-top models is 7,000 yuan and 100 million. The difference in configuration is the complete set of L2 level driver assistance systems, panoramic sunroofs, automatic headlights, 360 panoramic images and other comfort features.
The increased top-mounted models are 8,000 yuan more than the sub-top models, corresponding to the content of the 10,000-piece intelligent upgrade package provided in the pre-sale configuration, including a 15.6-inch screen, a co-driver's 4-way electric seat, APA automatic parking, a power tailgate, and at the same time, the top and secondary top are optionally equipped with horse brand tires (the official website price is 2000 yuan).
Therefore, from the difference between the configuration and the configuration alone, the personal comparison is recommended: 430km premium type
Because the 430km cruising range can allow you to charge more than once a week, the configuration of the added L2 level assisted driving system, panoramic sunroof, 360 ° panoramic transparent image, interior mood lights and other configurations can also match the difference of 7,000 yuan. Therefore, it is necessary to configure comfort and luxury, but friends with limited budget may wish to consider this configuration. However, considering that most people may choose this configuration, if there are too many orders, the pick-up time may be longer, so friends who need to pick up the car faster can consider the next configuration.
There is a long-distance, endurance anxiety to choose the 510km honor type
Although the configuration of the sub-top model is very high, the difference of 10,000 yuan is also worth it for increasing the configuration (mainly the adaptive cruise system), but considering that the honorable type has a difference of only 3,000 yuan compared to the premium type, the mileage is 80km more, and it is equipped with a fixed speed endurance standard, so the configuration is selected for some consumers with limited budgets, but there is long-distance or endurance anxiety. But in fact, if the budget is enough, I recommend the last configuration.
Fully fitted with the 510KM flagship PLUS
The reason for recommending this configuration is that the price difference between the flagship PLUS and the flagship is only 8,000 yuan, and the corresponding visible configuration is: 15.6-inch central control screen, 4-way electric seat for the co-driver, APA automatic parking, electric rear tailgate; 6 ultrasonic radars in the invisible place (may be applied to the APA automatic parking function). Because the previous article also mentioned in the pre-sale of this part of the configuration optional price of 10,000 yuan, a comparison equivalent to the official drop of 2,000 yuan can get these configurations, while for a new energy vehicle 15.6-inch central control screen for the whole vehicle human-computer interaction or audio-visual entertainment are different experience, so as long as the budget is sufficient, you can directly go to the top of the 510KM flagship PLUS.
summary
Today, BYD dollar PLUS will land in Australia, Singapore and Europe and other countries within the year, and exports are also confirming BYD's product confidence. At the same time, we can see that BYD still spends a lot of effort on the meta PLUS, the appearance is more exquisite than the old model, and under the blessing of BYD's core technology blade battery, its power data is very eye-catching, and it has also opened the gap between other models at the same level. At the same time, with a price of more than 100,000, there is a feeling of explosive booking, so will you consider it?
