In August 2021, BYD officially released the marine car series, and at the end of the month, the first product of Ocean Network, Dolphin, was officially launched, at this point, BYD officially opened the prelude to a new product line.
BYD destroyer built based on the concept of "marine aesthetics" officially "set sail"
At the Guangzhou Auto Show shortly after the dolphin was launched, BYD unveiled the first car of Ocean Network, the Destroyer 05, which is also the first model of the Ocean Network warship series. Since its debut, the attention of destroyer 05 has become increasingly high, and in the expectation of many consumers, BYD announced the official listing of destroyer 05 on March 17. The new car is priced at 119,800-155,800 yuan, a total of five configurations have been launched, and the manufacturer has given the right to enjoy the listing of new cars such as new gifts, smart gifts, worry-free gifts, and charging gifts.
The Destroyer 05 is positioned as a compact sedan, and the design adopts BYD's concept of "marine aesthetics", which is significantly different from the "longyan aesthetics" of the Dynasty model. The front grille of the new car is inspired by the ripples of the waves, the visual has a feeling of no boundary, and at the same time there is a clear gradual sense of layering from both sides to the inside, which stretches the lateral width of the front of the car very well, making the visual feeling of the front face of the whole car very wide and flat, low lying.
The side of the car is very similar to the Qin PLUS of the Dynasty series, with a smooth roof arc, a relaxed body line, and a good overall sense of proportion. The body size is 4780*1837*1495mm, the wheelbase is 2718mm, which is 15mm more prominent than the Qin PLUS 4765mm length, and other parameters are consistent. The tail shape of the destroyer 05 is relatively full, and the taillights of the through-type are similar to the Qin PLUS, Han and other models of the Dynasty series.
The overall frame of the interior part of the car still has a familiar taste, but there is a new connotation in the expression method, such as the contour line in the car is more flexible and smooth, with more of a soft charm, and extends the texture to all parts of the car; the maximum 15.6-inch rotatable touch central control screen is the iconic design of BYD's interior, which is not absent in the Ocean series models, and the 8.8-inch full LCD instrument size is visually more sincere than Qin PLUS.
Smart, safe and comfortable in one
There are a few points that can be mentioned in the configuration, the first is equipped with the latest DiLink intelligent network system, from the interface display to the fluency of the operation have been praised by a number of media, while the use of rich functions, and the expansion ability is powerful, basically equivalent to the use of mobile phone experience.
Secondly, it performs well in the intelligent driver assistance system, which is equipped with a rich function of DiPilot, including lane keeping, emergency braking, traffic sign recognition, intelligent pilot, adaptive near and far lights and 360 panorama, etc., whether it is for safety protection or to alleviate driving fatigue, this system has positive and practical significance.
In terms of other comfort configurations, the destroyer 05 is also in place, such as dual-zone automatic air conditioning, the main passenger seat provides 6 and 4 electric adjustment functions respectively, and the rear row has independent air conditioning outlets, automatic headlights, automatic wipers and other commonly used and practical configurations are not absent. In addition, in the editor's view, its knob-type gear shift mechanism is more aesthetic than the electronic shift lever of the Dynasty series.
DM-i Super Hybrid Blessing
At the power level, the destroyer 05 is equipped with BYD Xiaoyun plug-in hybrid 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, the maximum horsepower is 110 horses, the maximum torque is 135N·m, although the engine book parameters are decent, but can not ignore the EHS motor system, official data show that the maximum power of its motor can reach 145kW, equivalent to 197 electric horsepower, the maximum torque is up to 325N·m.
At the same time, it should be noted that BYD DM-i hybrid is a set of electric drive-based hybrid system, because the performance of the motor is not bad, so according to official data, the destroyer 05 55KM version of the model can accelerate up to 7.9 seconds per 100 kilometers, the 120KM model can reach 7.3 seconds, and the comprehensive fuel consumption is only 3.8L/100km, and this in addition to the excellent EHS motor system, and the engine's 43.04% thermal efficiency is also inseparable.
The power battery of the destroyer 05 is BYD's power lithium iron phosphate blade battery, the battery capacity of the 55KM version model is 8.3kWh, the slow charge takes 2.5 hours to fully charge, and does not support fast charging, and the 120KM model is equipped with an 18.3 kWh battery, which takes 5.5 hours to fully charge, but supports 17kW fast charge, and only needs 1.1 hours to fully charge.
Two lines of the BYD Ocean Network
According to BYD's planning, Ocean Network will be divided into marine life series and warship series, of which the former is mainly from the e platform 3.0 pure electric model, the first model Dolphin has been listed, the latter is mainly equipped with DM-i hybrid system hybrid products, the listed destroyer 05 is the first product under the series.
Reducing carbon emissions has become the mainstream trend, new energy has also become the mainstream of development, BYD's position in the field of new energy continues to consolidate, and it is clear that the current technical conditions to completely cut off the internal combustion engine is not a wise move. From the law of the development of things, BYD's product architecture is more reasonable, on the one hand, pure electric models are the future trend, maintaining strength in the trend, on the other hand, hybrid products have a positive effect on carbon emissions, so that both can maintain the advantages in the field of pure electricity, while ensuring sales, at the same time, the new marine network positioning is younger, compared to the Dynasty series is more vibrant, more attractive to young consumer groups, but also to BYD to bring differentiated products.
According to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, bydir Marine Network e-platform 3.0 series and warship series have new car announcements, the former is "SEAL" the fastest is reported to be listed at this year's Beijing Auto Show; the latter is a "frigate", positioned as a medium-sized SUV. visible. Under BYD's outstanding system capabilities, the development speed of ocean networks will not be slow, and consumers can maintain expectations.
Auto Network Review: Can Destroyer 05 Help BYD Create Glory Again?
According to official data, in 2021, BYD's total passenger car sales reached 730093, an increase of 75.4% over 2020, of which new energy is still the pillar of sales, the annual sales reached 593745, an increase of 231.6% year-on-year, among them, the reason why new energy can achieve ultra-high growth is inseparable from the credit of DM-i series products, especially Qin PLUS DM-i, then in 2021, with the blessing of destroyer 05, CAN BYD create brilliance again?
