A few days ago, BYD yuan PLUS was officially listed, and the official guidance price was 131,800-159,800 yuan. To be honest, the price was much higher than expected.
Previously, the price of BYD's Qin PLUS and Song PLUS models also intersected with the Pro model, but the lowest price of the Yuan PLUS was directly 25,000 yuan higher than the top of the Yuan Pro.
Part of this is due to the rise in the price of raw materials such as batteries, and the other part is that the meta PLUS is different from the meta Pro in terms of positioning.
Meta PLUS is based on the BYD e3.0 platform to build, positioned with a compact SUV, a higher level than the Meta Pro. The design also uses BYD's latest Dargon Face 3.0 design language, and it is more direct to see the picture, which will not be elaborated here.
In terms of battery life, there are two versions of the metaPLUS, which are 430 km and 510 km, and the length of the battery life is due to the different capacity of the battery pack. Therefore, there is no higher performance version of the metaPLUS, and the entire series is equipped with a motor with a power of 150kW and a peak torque of 310Nm.
How to choose?
Configure 1: 430KM Luxury
Guidance price: 131,800 yuan
Referral Index: ★★★★
Comments: Although it is the lowest model, the configuration is enough, such as rear reversing radar, reversing image, and main driver electric seat are equipped. The endurance is 430 kilometers, which is enough, but it is not recommended to run long distances. If it's for the green card, this version is enough.
Configure 2: 430KM Premium
Guidance price: 138,800 yuan
Referral Index: ★★★★★
Comments: The endurance of the sub-low model is still 430 kilometers, and the 7,000 yuan more expensive than the minimum is mainly in the upgrade of the configuration. For example, the number of airbags has been increased to 5, and more sensors have been added, so that auxiliary driving functions such as lane departure warning, road traffic sign recognition, active braking, and lane keeping can be realized.
At the same time, the fixed speed endurance is also upgraded to full speed adaptive cruise, and the reversing image is also upgraded to full speed adaptive endurance. The thousands of expensive pieces are all in the security configuration, and spending money on the blade is the most worth mentioning point of this configuration. Therefore, this is also the most recommended one in the whole series of models, and it is also very suitable for small white novice drivers.
Configuration 3:510KM Premium
Guidance price: 141,800 yuan
Comments: This is the lowest model with a range of 510 kilometers, so in addition to longer endurance, the basic configuration is consistent with the lowest model, but the price is 10,000 yuan more expensive than the minimum. But the endurance is only an increase of 80 kilometers, in my personal opinion, 10,000 yuan to buy 80 kilometers of endurance is not worth it. But if there is a need for long-distance driving, this version is the most worth buying in the long-range version.
Configuration 4: 510KM Flagship
Guidance price: 151,800 yuan
Referral Index: ★★★
Comments: The sub-top of the 510 km endurance, the configuration is basically the same as the most recommended 430 km low-end model, or that sentence: 10,000 yuan to buy 80 km endurance is not worth it.
Configures the 5:510KM flagship PLUS
Guidance price: 159,800 yuan
Comments: The reason why the top match is not recommended is because the price of 159,800 yuan is just the same as the price of the 2021 Song PLUS DM-i 51KM Prestige type. And this version of the Song PLUS configuration is also basically the same as the yuan PLUS, and the Song PLUS space is still larger, but also a hybrid model.
In the case of the same price and the same configuration, electric and hybrid models are still more recommended.
