With the continuous deepening of the new energy wave, BYD's strength in the field of new energy is obvious to all, and the once cheap, low-end label has gradually been replaced by new technologies and innovations. This point, on the bydir e platform 3.0 first model Dolphin, has been fully demonstrated, not cheap price, even if the price increase is still sold out of stock, it can be said that in the new energy "battlefield", any BYD model, is enough for opponents to pay attention, including Tesla. Not long ago, the road test camouflage photo of the second model of the BYD warship series, the cruiser 05, was also exposed, and the car positioned the first SUV of the marine network warship series, no doubt, this product will receive the attention of many opponents. In addition, due to the identity of the mid-size SUV and the price factor, although this car will not compete directly with tesla Model Y in the future, it is bound to have some impact on the price of Tesla Model Y, so how big will the impact be?
The Cruiser 05 is close in size to the Don and is expected to be larger than the Model Y
According to the previously exposed cruiser 05 camouflage pictures, it will be a mass production version of the BYD X DREAM concept car, positioning a medium-sized SUV with a wheelbase of 2900mm, and other sizes between Song PLUS and Tang. However, according to some associations between the previous destroyer 05 and BYD Qin PLUS, we can speculate that the size of the cruiser 05 will be closer to BYD Tang New Energy, that is, the length is about 4800mm, the height of the car is about 1700mm, and there may be a third row of seats.
Compared with the Tesla Model Y, which is also positioned as a medium-sized SUV, its length, width and height dimensions are 4750/1921/1624mm, and the wheelbase is 2890mm. So, we expect the Cruiser 05 to be superior to the Tesla Model Y in all respects. As for the actual riding performance, we still take Tang New Energy as a reference, compared with the Tesla Model Y, when the two cars ride 175cm tall passengers at the same time in the front and rear rows, the legroom performance of the rear passengers is not much different, but the head space Tesla Model Y is subject to the back shape, and the margin is not as large as Tang New Energy.
Not as powerful as Tesla, but DM-i has no endurance anxiety
According to BYD's official previous introduction, the Ocean Network warship series will mainly carry the hybrid products of DM-i super hybrid technology in the future, in other words, the cruiser 05 should carry DM-i super hybrid in the future, and it is also possible to directly use the set of power on BYD Tang DM-i, equipped with a combination of 1.5T + motors, pure electric endurance of about 50-110km, comprehensive cruising range of more than 1000km, zero hundred acceleration in about 8.5-8.7 seconds, feed fuel consumption less than 5.5L/ 100 km.
Tesla Model Y currently the lowest model uses a single motor rear drive force, zero hundred acceleration time of 6.9 seconds, pure electric cruising range of 545km. In contrast, there are large differences in the power category, mileage, parameters and other aspects of the two vehicles, Tesla Model Y has strong power, and the minimum mileage of the model is general in the same level of pure electric products.
Cruiser 05 in the future with DM-i super hybrid, although the power performance is not as strong as tesla Model Y, but the comprehensive mileage is longer, and the hybrid model characteristics make it have no endurance anxiety, more suitable for families without fixed charging piles, different car scene adaptability is stronger.
DM-i new car sold 21-24 million, Tesla still dare to explore?
In the future, whether the BYD Cruiser 05 will have an impact on Tesla's product/price, the biggest factor is still in the price, in this regard, if the Cruiser 05 is reasonably priced, I believe it will make Tesla very tricky. So now combined with the pricing relationship between the previous destroyer 05 and Qin PLUS, in the case of the same power level, the price of the entry-level model of the Marine Network warship series is expected to be 10,000-20,000 yuan more expensive than the Dynasty series model.
Therefore, we take the price of BYD Tang DM-i 19.28-21.98 million yuan as a reference, and the price of cruiser 05 may be set at about 210,000-240,000 yuan is more reasonable, so that it can avoid internal friction with the Dynasty series DM-i models, and also chase Tesla and some new car-making SUV products, coupled with BYD's own good cost-effective advantage and new design to bring freshness, supporting this price system, the problem is not big. However, this is more difficult for Tesla, after all, under the same price system, it is almost impossible to do the same as BYD in terms of power and configuration, so it will inevitably affect the downward exploration of Tesla Model Y.
epilogue:
Through comparison and analysis, we can infer that the pricing of BYD Cruiser 05 is expected to be around 210,000-240,000 yuan, which can avoid internal friction and improve product competitiveness, and users can also accept it, which is nothing more than a normal operation for BYD. However, if the cruiser 05 is also sold out like the BYD dolphin in the future, it will make Tesla more difficult to do, especially for tesla Model Y, if you want to explore, you must consider cruiser 05. Of course, from the perspective of brand and audience, there are still some differences between BYD and Tesla, but with the continuous heating up of competition in the new energy vehicle market, the two brands are bound to have more fierce competition, and this situation seems to have happened with the change of BYD Ocean Network's sales channels.
