Since BYD added DM-i super hybrid to its Dynasty product line last year, sales have been rising, and some areas have even had difficulty in picking up cars. In order to better occupy market share, give consumers more choices. BYD opened a new "ocean series" last year, and officially listed the destroyer 05 on March 17 this year, the new car includes 5 configurations, the price range after comprehensive subsidies is 119,800-15.58 million yuan, and the Dynasty series of Qin PLUS DM-i form a "double gun" to jointly compete in the compact sedan market.
Since it is a new series of products, it is natural to distinguish it from the original "Longyan" design in terms of appearance design. So we can see that BYD has designed a new set of front faces for the destroyer 05, officially named "Marine Aesthetics". The front grille is very large, and the interior is filled with multi-segment lateral chrome trims, forming a design style similar to the borderless, which looks more atmospheric and advanced than the Qin PLUSDM-i. The two sides of the light group and the middle decorative parts are connected to form a through-through design. The design idea of the whole front end is very clear, and the purpose is to highlight the rich sense of layering, which is impressive.
The side proportions are very close to the Qin PLUS DM-i, but the lines of the Destroyer 05 are more fluid and soft, and the slip-back roof makes the whole car look more vibrant. In terms of size, the new car has a length, width and height of 4780*1837*1495mm, and a wheelbase of 2718mm.
The rear of the car also takes into account the sense of layering, using the popular through-type taillight design, the internal lampshade is blackened style, looks deeper, after lighting can also provide a good recognition, the left and right sides of the "L" type ventilation slot echo the front design.
The interior of the car is still designed with "marine aesthetics", using a large area of light-colored trim, which is more concise and more youthful and energetic. In addition to the design is more youthful. The instrument uses an 8.8-inch LCD screen, which is much better than the embedded design of Qin PLUS DM-i, at least there will be no reflective problems. In the middle is a 15.6-inch rotatable central control screen, built-in the latest DiLink (5G) intelligent network connection system, you can download the application to expand. The lower console is full of physical buttons and levers, and the gear handle is an electronic knob structure.
In addition, the one-piece sports design was replaced in the seat shape, and the black and white stitching design was used, and red stitching was added to embellish it, which was more in line with the needs of young consumers.
In terms of configuration, the destroyer 05 is equipped with a DiPilot system, including adaptive cruise, lane keeping, active braking, traffic sign recognition and other functions, and is also equipped with a holographic transparent impression system, which can better observe the surrounding environment of the vehicle by daily moving and reversing.
In terms of power, the destroyer 05 also uses the DM-i super hybrid system, using a 1.5L Snap Cloud plug-in hybrid special 1.5L engine, the maximum power is 81kW, the peak torque is 135Nm, the maximum power of the drive motor is 145kW, the peak torque is 325Nm, the power battery is still BYD's main blade battery, and the NEDC pure electric mileage is 55km and 120km, respectively.
Since the launch of the destroyer 05 at the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the attention of the car in the market has remained high. As a car with the same positioning as the Qin PLUS DM-i, the Destroyer 05 feels younger, such as a new layered front face, a light interior color scheme and an integrated seat, all of which reveal its target audience. Therefore, its emergence is not to compete with Qin PLUS DM-i for the market, but to open up a new young consumer market.
Although BYD's sales are very good, to be honest, its Dynasty series is not very attractive to young people, mainly because the design is too conservative to attract the attention of others. The emergence of the destroyer 05 can be said to make up for the disadvantages in this regard, giving consumers another choice in addition to the Qin PLUS DM-i. If the market response of the destroyer 05 in the future is in line with expectations, BYD is likely to accelerate the reform of the design, so that the ocean series can be put in place and become a brand representative.
