BYD automobile in recent years the progress is obvious to all, after playing with the dynasty series full of thickness, this time, BYD will set its sights on a deeper and more unknown ocean, in the ocean network, where pure electric models are named after marine creatures, such as dolphins, and models equipped with DM-i super hybrid system are named after warships, as the pioneering work of the warship series, the burden on the shoulders of the destroyer 05 is not light, although there are many opponents in the market, but ride the wind and waves, sail to the blue ocean, is the mission it must do.
First of all, we want to explain that in the BYD warship series, the destroyer represents the car, while the 05 indicates that it is a compact class, and the higher class destroyer 07, 09 and so on will be launched to further enrich the product series.
In terms of appearance, the destroyer 05 is based on BYD's "marine aesthetics" design concept, using a new design language that is different from the currently available models, and also brings a refreshing feeling, perhaps this will also become the family DNA of the warship series.
In terms of body size, the destroyer 05, positioned in the compact class, has a fairly excellent volume in the same class, with specific length, width and height parameters of 4780/1837/1495mm, and a wheelbase of 2718mm, which has certain advantages over most competitors.
The front part of the car features a borderless grille, which is inspired by layers of waves, and the dense horizontal chrome trim strips that are staggered further stretch the visual width of the entire front face, while also using BYD's new letter LOGO.
The headlight shape called "StarLight Battleship Headlight" by the manufacturer is narrow and long, which is quite sharp, and the integration of the entire front of the car is very strong, the full LED light source, there is a through-through design in the middle, and the dual lens design makes it look more bright and energetic.
The side of the body still has the more typical proportions and contours of BYD models, the length of the front and rear overhangs is not short, although the body height is nearly 1.5 meters, but the roof arc has a very obvious drop after the B-pillar, so it still has a relatively low posture.
The exterior mirror is in the form of standing directly on the front door, some design details make it look quite sharp, and the NFC car key function that can be unlocked by using the mobile phone close to here will also become a plus.
Although the 17-inch wheels are not exaggerated in size, the styling design is not a highlight, always reminiscent of some kind of ancient weapon, and the standard tire comes from the Atlas brand of Linglong Group, with a specification of 215/55 R17.
The design of the rear part of the car echoes the front part of the car, maintaining the unity of the design style, and the large number of horizontal lines used also strengthens the horizontal visual width here while also creating a full sense of layering, and the rear bumper also has a cooling trough design on both sides.
The through-type taillights are popular design elements nowadays, and on the destroyer 05 car, the taillights have also added a blackening effect, which looks more youthful, and the LED dot matrix arrangement in the light cavity is also similar to the front grille part.
The interior design concept of the destroyer 05 is also derived from the aesthetics of the ocean, creating the atmosphere of the ocean through more soft lines, composed of four colors of basalt black, sky gray, quantum high brightness gray and pink, adding a bit of youthful jumping elements in addition to the stable overall style.
In terms of interior materials, the top of the center console is covered with a large area of soft-lined plastic materials, and is equipped with two-color stitching decoration, thus creating a good sense of high-grade, and the quality of the process is also good in the same level.
The three-panel steering wheel uses a more sporty flat bottom design, and the silver decoration to be hollowed out, the size is not large, there is a very solid grip, and the integrated control functions on the left and right sides are also very rich, but only the high and low positions can be adjusted.
The size of the full LCD meter is 8.8 inches, and the UI design with light blue as the background color is very refreshing, with an oceanic atmosphere, the amount of information is rich enough, and there will be no serious reflection under strong light.
The high-end model with a size of 15.6 inches has a large center display with a narrow-edge design, a screen ratio of 83%, can support the rotation function, the display clarity is very high, and the touch response is also quite sensitive.
The car is equipped with DiLink intelligent network system, using the latest HMI interface design, can be compatible with a large number of mobile PHONE APP, the scalability is also very strong, the functionality and entertainment are excellent, and the vehicle OTA can be remotely upgraded.
The main physical control keys of the Destroyer 05 are concentrated around the gear shift knob, including the start button, so the center console is very neat, and these touch buttons also have vibration feedback to reduce the chance of misoperation.
Mobile phone wireless charging module is a very meaningful configuration, which makes it much more convenient to charge mobile devices during the trip, the size of the wireless charging pad of the destroyer 05 can be adapted to most of the current smart phones, and the charging efficiency is also good.
The 360-degree panoramic park assist system has a good camera resolution, which can support the presentation of multiple perspectives, and at the same time can realize some chassis perspective functions, which makes it much easier for novice drivers or park in small spaces.
The control keys of the four windows all support the one-button lift function, which is still relatively thick, and does not deliberately reduce the cost in this place that is usually easy to be ignored, and also ensures the practicality of daily use.
Destroyer 05 only provided a regular size sunroof, panoramic sunroof did not appear, which may be a bit of a pity, but for a compact sedan, this configuration is enough to meet the needs.
The front seats adopt an integrated design, but also have a good sense of shape, the color block style plus red piping looks very high, the interior padding is soft and hard, the comfort is high, and the driver's seat also supports electric adjustment.
The rear space performance is good in the compact sedan, the passenger with a height of 1.8 meters sits in the back seat, the leg space is relatively abundant, but the head space is slightly depressed, and the platform under the feet is almost negligible, and the practicality is high.
We have not yet obtained the specific parameters of the luggage compartment volume, visual depth performance is good, but due to the bulge on the side, the internal width is limited to a certain extent, but the overall shape is quite regular, and the opening of the luggage compartment is relatively large.
The rear seats can be reclined in a 4/6 ratio to further improve the loading capacity, but the rear seats and luggage compartment floor after being reclined cannot fully form a plane, but there is not a small height difference, but the impact on practicality is not large.
In terms of power, the destroyer 05 will be equipped with a DM-i super hybrid system, which is composed of a 1.5L high-efficiency engine for Snap cloud-plug hybrid, an EHS electric hybrid system and a DM-i super hybrid special power blade battery. Among them, the 1.5L engine has a maximum power of 81kW and a peak torque of 135N·m, while the EHS electromix system has two options, the maximum power of the motor is 132kW and 145kW, and the peak torque of the motor is 316N·m and 325N·m, respectively.
The pure electric endurance of the destroyer 05 has two versions of 55 and 120 km, of which the 120 km version will also be equipped with a fast charging interface, which is more user-friendly for users with convenient charging and long commuting distances, while the 55 km version does not have this function, and for users who are inconvenient to charge, they can also be driven as fuel vehicles.
In the DM-i system, the engine is no longer the protagonist, it is mainly to improve the thermal efficiency of the efficient working range, broaden the efficient working condition speed and load range, and other engine inefficient working areas will be compensated by the electric motor.
When the battery is fully charged, the electric motor is the core of the entire power system, the power output in the initial stage is very light and comfortable, and the direct acceleration brings an agile power output response, giving the driver a good first impression.
Also satisfactory is the excellent smoothness, with the traditional fuel car is difficult to do the coherent power connection, accelerated overtaking in one go, of course, after reaching the middle and high-speed range, the power performance is indeed not as explosive as the initial section.
The engine will appear at the most appropriate time, its sense of intervention is not abrupt at all, the noise and vibration control are in place, will not bring any impact to comfort, in this system, the engine and the electric motor are in perfect coordination.
If the driver is interested, the power system condition map on the center display can be more intuitively understood and monitored in real time to understand and monitor the energy flow status of the vehicle, and the switching and intervention between different power sources is always meticulous.
The EHS electromissible system also contributes to the frustration of the traditional gearbox, so that the speed range of the engine is relatively fixed, and the noise of the engine is better controlled, relatively speaking, tire noise has become the main source of noise at high speed.
The steering system feels very gentle and is suitable for urban conditions, and the suspension adjustment of the front McPherson rear torque beam is also a comfortable orientation, which has a good filter for the road surface undulations as a whole, but the rear suspension of the torque beam sometimes appears a little thin, and the thickness is general.
In this era of soaring oil prices, fuel consumption is also a killer of destroyer 05, the fuel consumption in the state of power loss is only 3.8 liters, and the fuel tank volume of destroyer 05 is 48 liters, which is not small, so its comprehensive cruising range exceeds 1000 kilometers.
BYD destroyer 05 does not only have a domineering name, from the internal and external design, power system, driving performance and other aspects of the comprehensive point of view, its lethality is really not small, BYD to use it to open a new front confidence also comes from this, at this time to go to sea, perhaps without the help of warm currents and direction. Destroyer 05 is about to be officially launched, and we will wait and see if there will be another surprising price.
