When it comes to pure electric vehicles, people inevitably use Tesla to compare with BYD, and this comparison is often fruitless, the main reason is that the model is misplaced, and it is difficult to directly benchmark.
Until last year, a picture of an Ocean-X concept car that flowed out of BYD's press conference aroused the interest of many people and seemed to see the possibility of direct comparison between the two.
With the release of the e-series 3.0 pure electric platform, BYD launched the first marine series model based on this platform, as the dolphin that took the lead, in a wave of doubt, with its wide temperature range heat pump air conditioner, it performed very brightly in the test, fully demonstrated the technical advantages brought by the e-platform 3.0, won the reputation of users, and achieved 5 consecutive sales. For BYD pure electric cars, it was labeled as "small steel cannon, smart".
If the small dolphin is not enough to compete with Tesla, then the B-class seal that is about to appear can face off with the Tesla Model 3.
The rise of BYD's dynasty series marks the rise of BYD's car from 1.0 to 2.0 stage, although it has achieved the unity of connotation and appearance and enhanced the overall image, but the dynasty series uses Chinese culture to reflect BYD's overall strategic positioning, and it cannot cover the young culture represented by Tesla.
Compared with the thick and stable Dynasty series, the Ocean series is more agile, sharp, and technological, and these cultural elements correspond to some of Tesla's models, typical of which is the Model 3.
Recently, BYD EK in Yakeshi winter spy photo exposure, judging from the line characteristics, the shape is close to the Ocean-X concept car, this new car is likely to be a new pure electric model "SEAL" under the BYD e platform 3.0 architecture, and it is also the second model of the Ocean series.
From the spy care, the coupe body with the slightly long hood outlines the muscular and sporty sense, which has more radical elements than the dolphin.
Combined with the 2900mm long wheelbase, short front and rear suspension and large internal space that has been exploded in the early stage, the 3.8s breaking hundred, the rear drive/four-wheel drive platform, the front double wishbone plus the rear five-link chassis, equipped with wide temperature range heat pump air conditioning, pulse self-heating technology, SEAL will become the leader of B-class pure electric vehicles, relying on the blessing of black technology, winter will be more frost-resistant, and the mileage will be further improved. Compared to the Model 3, it can also be slightly better.
After the release of the real car, if the tesla Model 3 has an advantage in the comprehensive benchmark, with reference to the price of Tesla Model 3, it is expected that the price range of the car should be 220,000-280,000 yuan.
The form can attract attention, and the final grasp of the user is still dependent on technology. E platform 3.0 is a complete technical base, in the era of software-defined devices, the released functions are likely to be more abundant over time, at the same time, with the domestic information technology ecology, it is very likely to shorten the gap with Tesla in the future in terms of automatic driving. If so, the SEAL will be a model that is well awaited and has an iconic significance.
BYD and Tesla finally have a battle, by the SEAL to play the front station, followed by more models may be head-on with Tesla.
