In recent years, BYD has relied on Dynasty network models, blade batteries, dm-i hybrids to change everyone's inherent cognition and gain a large number of fans, but the owner group has become more and more single, lacking young users, especially the lack of female owners.
Relying on the youthful appearance, intelligent car-using experience, and the flexibility of Internet car-making, the new car-making forces have robbed a large number of young users.
BYD launched Dolphin, which focuses on youth, personality and fun, is the first e-platform 3.0 model, but also the first marine network model, since the listing of sales continued to exceed 10,000, has been favored by young people, which undoubtedly gives BYD enough confidence.
Recently, BYD seal winter test spy photos exposed, finally to surface, and dolphins, the same from the e platform 3.0, the same is the model of the ocean network, the appearance, configuration, endurance, price are gradually clear, will be one of the most important models of BYD this year.
If the dolphin is benchmarked against a good cat, then the seal will be the Tesla Model 3, then the question is, Euler good cat is easy to deal with, against the Tesla Model 3 has that strength?
As we all know, the Xiaopeng P7 has always been the benchmark tesla Model 3, and Xiaopeng Automobile founder He Xiaopeng is still a fan of Elon Musk.
In this context, Xiaopeng P7 has not been the opponent of Tesla Model 3, a simple analysis of the reasons, probably is the brand power and technical level are there is a gap.
Since it is the gap between brand power and technical level, it is easy to do, in the field of electric vehicles, BYD's brand power and technical reserves are no less than Tesla, the key question is what kind of car is seal?
First, the design concept of "marine aesthetics" is highly restored ocean-X concept car
I believe that most readers have seen the video of BYD's new model winter test, the car in the video is covered with a lot of camouflage, can not see too many details, but the overall silhouette and shape highly restore the Ocean-X concept car.
Don't think that you can't recognize it when you put on the vest, this car is the rumored seal, as can be seen from the spy photos, the front face has been replaced by BYD's new ocean-X concept car design language, and it instantly feels that my car is not fragrant.
We can only see sharp headlights in spy photos, and we can combine the design language of Ocean-X, and the SEAL should be an American muscular coupe.
From the side, the structural design of long wheelbase + short front and rear suspension is adopted, which can improve the sense of handling, steering will be more precise, and bring more riding space, which has been reflected in the dolphin.
However, sharp-eyed readers should find that the seal's side shape and structural design are very similar to the Tesla Model 3, which is actually easier to understand.
Some data show that when a car reaches a speed of 200 km/h, the energy consumption used to combat wind resistance will reach more than 85%.
Seals use this structure to improve handling and space on the one hand, and to reduce wind resistance on the other.
The so-called appearance is the combat effectiveness, the good-looking body must be streamlined, and the similarity of the side structure of seals and Model 3 is an inevitable trend.
Second, the latest technology of e platform 3.0 empowers, longer battery life, more antifreeze
It is said that the SEAL is 4770mm long, 1860mm wide, 1460mm high, and the wheelbase will reach 2900mm, which is a proper B-class car, and for the first time, it is equipped with a new chassis structure with two wishbones and a rear five connecting rods.
In terms of power, it will be equipped with a single-motor rear-drive system with a power of 150 kW and 180 kW, and a dual-motor four-wheel drive system with a maximum power of 360 kW, with zero hundred acceleration of 3.8 seconds.
In addition, under the empowerment of the new e-platform 3.0 technology, the blade battery is both a structural part and an energy body, which will enhance the torsional stiffness of the vehicle as a whole and further enhance the safety of the whole vehicle.
We simply compare the Tesla Model 3 high-performance all-wheel drive plate, the guidance price is 339,900, the length is 4694mm, the width is 1850mm, the height of the car is 1443mm, the wheelbase is 2875mm, and the chassis structure of the front double wishbone plus the rear five connects is also the chassis structure.
In terms of power, the front motor has a maximum power of 137 kW, the rear motor has a maximum power of 220 kW, and zero hundred accelerates by 3.3 seconds.
From the data level, it is very certain that the seal is fully benchmarking the Model 3, and now the most critical thing is the guide price of the seal.
The price of seals on the Internet is between 220,000 and 280,000, and many people say that this price is expensive, and we can look at the general environment and comprehensively measure it in the horizontal comparison.
Tesla, Xiaopeng, Weilai and other new energy vehicle companies have raised the price of models because of the continuous rise of upstream materials and the decline of superimposed new energy vehicle subsidies, and the terminal price of Model 3 and Model Y has risen several times.
Seals are said to be more versatile, and may be equipped with newer pulsed self-heating technology based on air conditioners equipped with wide-temperature heat pumps.
In the previous winter measurements, Dolphin, with the advantages of e-platform 3.0 and heat pump air conditioning, ranked first in the endurance achievement rate of the same class of models, surpassing models such as Euler Good Cat, Volkswagen ID3 and Xiaopeng P5.
With the empowerment of the new technology, the mileage of seals will be further improved, which will effectively solve the problem of mileage attenuation in extremely cold weather.
The new body design, the new chassis mechanism, the new technical empowerment, so I think the price range of 220,000-280,000 is more objective and realistic.
It is said that seals will be unveiled at the Beijing Auto Show in the first half of the year, so let's see if my predictions are accurate or not, let's wait and see!
Will SEALs be the opponents of the Model 3?
It is no longer a car company that shouted out the benchmark Model 3, and eventually failed, from the information currently exposed, the seal can be said to be prepared.
From the price, appearance, space, configuration, power, safety, technology and other aspects are benchmarking Model 3, and there are certain advantages.
As for whether the SEAL is ultimately a Model 3 rival, it has to wait for the test of the market and consumers, and the Model 3, as the benchmark of pure electric sports cars, finally has a strong opponent.
