On March 15, BYD announced the new Han DM-i and Han DM-p models, the former focusing on performance, the latter focusing on performance, the final price is not determined, it is expected that the car may be officially released at the opening of the Beijing Auto Show on April 21.
BYD Han DM-i has a total of 121km and 242km endurance versions, for users with charging conditions, 121km endurance is enough. If you need to go far, use the hybrid mode. The fuel consumption of the hybrid model is already very low, and with a fuel tank as large as an ordinary fuel vehicle, the total endurance can easily exceed 1000km. Consumers buying hybrid models should pay more attention to pure electric endurance.
The Han DM-p is performance-oriented and is the only choice for BYD models that combine hybridity and performance. Its 100 km/h acceleration time is 3.7 seconds, and after driving the Sport mode, users can feel a strong sense of pushing back. Its pure electric mileage is 202km, and the fuel consumption of 100 kilometers is 5.2L, so the starting price of the car should not be too low.
The appearance of BYD Han DM-i and Han DM-p is not much different from most of the appearance of Han EV, the most important thing is that the front face has a huge grille. Dm-i is much cheaper, no doubt will be sought after by consumers, the car is likely to be out of stock, interested partners can order early.
BYD's advantage is that the current sales volume is very large. Consumers buy a car, usually for several years, even if BYD's current assisted driving is not particularly good, it can also push assisted driving software to consumers through OTAs. The key to BYD is to equip the car machine with enough hardware performance, so that the car machine can run the auxiliary driving software developed subsequently, and the revenue from the auxiliary driving software can greatly increase BYD's gross profit margin.
BYD Han model is not strictly speaking the opponent of Tesla Model 3, Tesla's assisted driving software is in a relatively leading position, and BYD Han's car length is close to 5 meters, the interior space will be much more spacious, the two cars have their own strengths.
Recently, oil prices have risen sharply, which will greatly promote the sales of BYD's hybrid and pure electric models, and the electrification process will continue to accelerate. If BYD wants to continuously expand the market, the most important solution is the problem of blade battery production capacity.
