BYD announced several new model design manuscripts, according to the recent online spy photos and exposure news is not difficult to find, the design manuscript on the model is the BYD seal model that is more popular in this period of time, today will continue to follow the manuscript information to see some of the design highlights of BYD seals.
The picture above is a concept car released by BYD at the e-platform 3.0 conference in September 2021, called Ocean-X, which only showed some of the appearance characteristics of the product at that time, and other details were not explained too much. But Ocean-X has a lot to do with the BYD design manuscript we're going to talk about. Without further ado, let's look at the diagram first.
The picture above is the product design manuscript exposed by BYD, this product is very similar to the BYD Ocean-X concept car, whether it is the design of the headlights or the overall styling design, this design is very different from BYD's Dynasty series (Qin, Han, Song and other models), and the Dynasty series is basically BASD's Dragon Face3.0's Longyan design concept, Ocean-X concept car adopts the marine aesthetic design concept, and the manuscript in the above picture highly restores the ocean-X concept car design, which also adopts the marine aesthetic design concept. Overall, it looks like the marine aesthetic design concept is a little younger than the Dynasty series, and the low and slippery design in the shape is very obvious. This design style is also similar to Tesla's Model 3.
In the details of the front design, you can see some new design elements, the lower front design and the closed front grille design bring more obvious characteristics of new energy vehicles, but also strengthen the vehicle's sense of movement. The newly designed light cluster shape restores the design of the Ocean-X concept car and looks very aggressive. The lower part of the headlight group adopts a large ventilation hole design, and the shape of the ventilation holes on both sides makes the large mouth type of the front encirclement more obvious, and it looks like the combat atmosphere is relatively strong. Finally, the bulge of the hood above the headlights makes the front face look more muscular.
The design of the rear of the car also has some good highlights, first of all, the back design, in addition, the tail line can also clearly see the "ducktail" tail design on the edge of the trunk, and the combination of the back design and the "duckling tail" is a very good combination of punching, because such a design is still very useful for improving the sporty tone of the vehicle. The taillight design adopts a penetrating taillight group design, and the shape of the taillight abandons the boxy or sharp shape characteristics, and the overall shape looks like a "water drop" shape. The tail wind hole shape at the lower encirclement is very similar to the wind tunnel shape of the front encirclement, which is a design that echoes before and after. In addition, the more convex wheel arch design in the design manuscript should be seen by everyone, I believe that the wheel arch of the future mass production version of the new car will be more obvious, which is more useful for improving the "muscle feeling" of the vehicle, and can also bring a better wide body effect, and the tail of the mass production version is also worth looking forward to.
From the side design manuscript, it can be seen that the seal's slipback design and the ducktail design are more obvious, which brings a very good sense of sport to the vehicle. Coupled with the short suspension travel of the front and rear wheels, this lower front and rear suspension design makes the vehicle's low lying feeling look more prominent. The vehicle adopts a waistline design throughout the head and tail, but because of the wheel arch design of the front and rear wheels, the waist line has certain undulations, and the other side can also see a decorative waist line with arrows below the main waistline, this double waistline design is very bold, whether it looks good or need to see the real car to draw conclusions. In addition, there are some dotted elements in the position of the C pillar of the rear window of the vehicle. It should be noted that in the information exposed by the seals, the wheelbase is 2900mm, the vehicle size is close to the level of the B-class sedan, such a large volume adopts such a sporty design, and whether the performance of the real car can look as good as the manuscript, I can't help but look forward to the experience of the real car.
Previously circulated on the Internet a BYD seal product information exposure form, the main data in which as shown in the above table, let's take a look, the right to talk about. Among them, the three dimensions of the vehicle are 4770x1860x1460mm, the wheelbase reaches 2900mm, and the vehicle size is close to the level of B-class cars, especially the wheelbase performance is very eye-catching. The vehicle is equipped with rear-drive and four-wheel drive two-wheel drive forms, the power uses different power motors, there are 150kW, 180kW and front and rear dual motors 360kW different versions, bringing different 0-100km/h acceleration time, respectively, ≤ 6.7 seconds, ≤ 5.6 seconds, ≤ 3.4 seconds. A lot of that data I think is quite credible.
From the manuscript and exposure of product information, BYD Dolphin's performance is more eye-catching, the main confidence or from the e platform 3.0, in September last year at the e platform conference BYD also mentioned, in the e platform 3.0 empowerment, seals This product's endurance will be greatly improved, according to the exposure information, its endurance standard is expected to reach 700km-800km. But also will increase the electric drive boost charging technology, further improve the charging power (that is, charging speed), and one of the most important points is that BYD will be the standard blade battery as the structural part and energy core of the vehicle chassis, popularly speaking, the battery pack as part of the body, as a dispersed collision force transmission path, which is still a relatively advanced practice in pure electric products, which also indirectly improves the torsional stiffness of the vehicle, safety and handling will be improved.
In addition, the information exposed by the SEAL also revealed that the new car will use the chassis suspension design of the front double wishbone and the rear five connecting rods, and the double wishbone suspension is also one of the more favored suspensions for sports models, coupled with the power level of the SEAL exposed above, it is difficult not to look forward to the SEAL model.
From the various parameters and characteristics of seals, we should also be able to see that the main opponent of this product is Tesla's Model 3 model, in terms of product strength, BYD Seal's new car does have this strength to compete with Tesla Model 3. As far as the current publicity rhythm of BYD is concerned, BYD seals should be officially unveiled in front of everyone at the Beijing Auto Show in the first half of the year.
At present, many users are also more concerned about the price of BYD seals, I see many comments expect the price of seals to be between 150,000 and 200,000 yuan, but as far as the current new energy market situation is concerned, the price of 150,000-200,000 yuan may be difficult, first, because the price of raw materials for new energy vehicles has continued to rise since 2021, including the well-known "chip" shortage problem, second, because the new car subsidies for new energy vehicles continue to decline, and there is also a point of view of product strength. Although the SEAL is benchmarked against the Model 3 model, the product strength of the SEAL itself is not far from the current DYNASTY series of BYD Han EV, and in some respects there are even some advantages. The official guidance price of BYDHan EV models is 226,100-29.58 million yuan, so the final price of seals I think will also fluctuate between 220,000 and 280,000 yuan, which may sink slightly, but not too much.
Do you think the price and time of launch of BYD seals are right? Welcome to the comments section.
I am a wooden teacher, hoping to help everyone buy a car and avoid detours.
