Mars hits Earth, and a Forbidden Peak showdown is about to take place.
At the Beijing Auto Show in April this year, BYD seals will most likely be unveiled.
In September last year, the e-platform 3.0, which has four major car-making highlights of intelligence, efficiency, safety and aesthetics, was officially released, which means that BYD fished out a koi in the technology ocean.
Subsequently, the ocean net surfaced. The warship series is fully on the DM-i technical route, and the marine life series is fully electrified.
As a result, Ocean Network was determined to be the same height and different styles of brand positioning as Dynasty Network.
Benchmark Modle 3
The seal is special in that it has almost become a pure electric car officially recognized by BYD and directly benchmarked tesla Mode 3.
We can figure this out with the method of elimination.
BYD Dynasty's dual flagships, Han and Tang, although there is a slight price overlap between them and the Tesla Mode 3/Y.
However, the former's more commercial and administrative style has clearly distinguished its respective user characteristics, so the two are more reflective of the meaning of well water does not violate the river water.
As for the BYD DM-i series, it is a technical route that Tesla does not involve, and the competition is impossible to talk about.
How to understand the similarities and differences between the two?
It's like the difference between the M series and the P series in Huawei's mobile phone products. Also high-end, Dynasty.com is more like a business-oriented M series, and Ocean.com is converging with the fashionable, youthful-style P series.
As we all know, dolphins are the first products on the market in the Marine Life series.
Technical confidence, product confidence, brand confidence, in the BYD Dolphin this small car has been greatly reflected.
With a refreshing design style and the technical blessing of e platform 3.0, Dolphin quickly set off a market heat, from the listing in August last year, monthly sales climbed up, to December to achieve more than 10,000, is still continuing the upward trend.
However, the strategic intention of the ocean network and the dynasty network to go hand in hand has shown that the dolphin's product positioning cannot support the value demand of the ocean network, and the seal is the key.
The Seal, which is based on the Ocean-X concept car, can fully refer to the Han EV of Dynasty.com in terms of product positioning. In addition to the different styles, the two have their own destiny and become the leading models of the whole series.
Referring to the price range of Han EV, we can roughly guess that the pricing range of Dolphin is 210,000-280,000 yuan.
In the future, BYD may have a pure electric car with a higher price than seals, but seals occupy a stable and extremely important position in the mainstream consumption range, and there is no substitute.
Therefore, we can completely conclude that seals are formed, and ocean series are formed.
Seals are fierce
Another question is, can seals fight at all?
As a benchmark model that was launched two years later than the domestic Mode 3, BYD will definitely make good use of its latecomer advantage.
First of all, from the model design, SEAL will highly restore the shape of the Ocean-X concept car, in addition to the frameless door will not achieve mass production, its streamlined drag design will reduce the wind resistance coefficient of the new car to less than or equal to 0.22Cd. The 2900MM wheelbase gives the SEALs a distinct advantage over the Modle 3 in the rear row.
Coming to mechanical quality, in terms of suspension, the seal adopts a combination of front double wishbones and rear five connecting rods, which can basically be seen as the standard of e platform 3.0.
As for chassis tuning, it is clear that with BYD's rhythm of almost biennial improvement, SEALs will usher in a chassis style that matches the sporty attributes of the product.
It is worth mentioning that seals will be the world's first 100% chassis integrated model. The battery has become part of the body force from the previous extra parts, and the body weight has been increased while the body is more rigid and the interior space is larger.
Regarding the motor and endurance, seal adopts the combination of permanent magnet synchronous + asynchronous motor, and the power is full under acceleration, and the fastest speed can achieve zero hundred acceleration 3.4S.
Because seals are more based on permanent magnet synchronous motors, so the daily driving use of rear-drive mode, the advantage of rear-drive is more driving pleasure, more sporty control.
In terms of endurance, seals can reach up to 700KM and are equipped with three versions: 500+ and 600+. Coupled with wide-temperature range heat pump technology, seals can increase their winter cruising range by up to 20%.
Of course, these are not the biggest imagination space that seals bring to us.
For example, 800V ultra-high voltage charging technology is not on the car? This is a suspense, and it will only be revealed if it is listed.
For example, the intelligence of seals can also be impressive. At the end of 2021, BYD and Momenta officially announced the establishment of Shenzhen Dipai Zhixing Technology Co., Ltd. Therefore, it is logical that seals equipped with Momenta software, and the 128TOPS Horizon Journey 5 chip with a computing power will also be on the car.
Also, can the Sagitar Juchuang M1 lidar that has been spread before bless the SEAL? You know, the second generation of M1 laser thunder has achieved a revolutionary evolution from stacked one-dimensional scanning to chip-based two-dimensional scanning.
The core quality of seals is roughly as above, low-key, in addition to the software is not as good as Tesla Mode 3, at the hardware level, seals are obviously better than Tesla Mode 3.
Strictly speaking, with BYD's upward trend today, there is no need to particularly strengthen the importance of a certain model. Facts have proved that BYD is fully capable of launching blockbusters in a row.
Write at the end
From 2020 onwards, BYD ushered in the harvest period of explosive models.
HanEV became a phenomenon-level model in the world that year; then in 2021, with the blessing of DM-i technology, the DM-i explosive legion composed of Qin PLUS DM-i, Song PLUS DM-i, Song PRO DM-i, etc., took a key step in replacing fuel vehicles.
If the DM-i series focuses on the Volkswagen mass production car range around 150,000, then seals have begun to be positive and enter the 200,000-level market segment.
Upward is the strategic intent of the Ocean Series.
In the era of smart trams, intelligence also began to follow Moore's Law, the latecomers are always more advantageous than the forerunners, everything is full of variables, not to mention THATD also has the ability to look at the world at a glance.
So, there is no need to be superstitious about Tesla, it is time to re-recognize BYD.
