Recently, some netizens photographed a new energy vehicle that is undergoing winter testing, and the driver found that this car is a BYD SEAL - a new energy vehicle that may pose a threat to Tesla's explosive model Model 3 in 2022. In the end, what kind of strength does it have to compete with the best-selling new energy vehicles in 2021?
Pictures shared by netizens show that on a test road in Yakeshi, Inner Mongolia, a new energy vehicle with "full camouflage" is undergoing winter tests. However, according to the characteristics of the front face, headlight hole and body line, combined with the recent online hot news, this new car is likely to be a new pure electric model under the BYD e platform 3.0 architecture - seals.
The car will be the second pure electric model under the BYD e platform 3.0 architecture, and previously BYD Dolphin has received a big sale in recent months with the platform, so that many users have more expectations for this car, and even media predictions, the car will be the biggest competitor of Tesla Model 3 in 2022.
First of all, the design is similar to Tesla, but incorporates ocean-X advanced design. As we all know, BYD Ocean-X concept car has made many Die fans very obsessed since its exposure, and on Dolphin, BYD officially followed this "marine aesthetics" design concept and won the recognition of a large number of users. This time, the SEAL model also used this design, the coupe-style body, the hood bulge line and the compact body proportions, these styles create a strong sense of muscle and sport. The headlights on both sides of the car are sharp and stylish, and combined with the design drawings exposed a few days ago, people's sense of expectation for the real car is directly full.
And the appearance of the car is somewhat colliding with the current Tesla Model 3, which makes many Die fans even begin to expect that such a car will be directly with the Model 3 frontal hard.
Secondly, the second model under the BYD e-platform 3.0 architecture may inherit the characteristics of dolphin blockbusters. In January this year, BYD's first e-platform 3.0 model, the Dolphin, set a new record of 100,000 vehicles per month. As the second model of the platform, BYD Seal will give full play to the technical advantages of domestic new energy vehicles and bring a better experience to car owners.
Third, the winter testing process is equipped with black technologies such as blade battery + pulse self-heating, so that the owner can drive without anxiety in winter. The winter test BYD is obviously prepared, on the basis of equipped with wide temperature range heat pump air conditioning, seals may be equipped with updated pulsed self-heating technology, winter will be more resistant to freezing, cruising range further improved, to solve the problem of winter endurance attenuation of pure electric models, and truly do not instigate in winter. Coupled with BYD's "blade battery" to improve the efficiency of the battery, we may have a very amazing performance of this new car of the e-platform 3.0.
Fourth, the price may directly call tesla model 3, but the performance is expected to lead the opponent. Previously, some media exposed that the price of this car may be between 220,000 and 280,000 yuan. Driving enjoyment believes that this price range is still relatively reasonable, and this range is the main price range of Tesla Model 3, it seems that from the price, BYD Seal and Tesla Model 3 will have a direct contest.
As BYD's 2022 blockbuster model, whether it is design or configuration, SEAL is a major breakthrough for BYD. Combined with the previous new car exposure of 3.8s to break the hundred, rear drive / four-wheel drive platform, the first time equipped with the front double wishbone plus the rear five connecting rod chassis and other information, as well as the configuration conjecture of the winter test exposure, and then considering the continuous rise in the price of new energy upstream raw materials since 2021, superimposed new energy subsidies and other unfavorable factors, driving brother believes that the price of the car is reasonable, and the performance has a certain advantage over Tesla Model 3, which makes us more look forward to the car can be released as soon as possible.
