Another blockbuster? Can the landing of the BYD destroyer 05 open up the market pattern?
Following the launch of the BYD Marine series, BYD's new energy products named after the warship series have begun to prepare intensively. Nowadays, BYD Destroyer 05 is about to land on the market as the first sedan product of THE BYD warship series, and its strong determination to impact the existing car market can be felt from the naming style of "Destroyer 05". After all, as a multi-purpose warship, the destroyer not only has a strong assault force, but also is equipped with a variety of weapons such as air defense, anti-submarine, and sea, which can achieve all-round attacks on sea, land and air, and its strength is very comprehensive. So, can the BYD destroyer 05 open the market pattern with comprehensive and balanced combat effectiveness like the real "destroyer" and become the next blockbuster?
A few days ago, the BYD destroyer 05 announced its pre-sale price (120,000-150,000 yuan), and it is scheduled to be listed on March 17. In terms of appearance design, the new car adopts a new "warship" design concept, which is completely different from the previous Qin PLUS DM-i design style, thanks to the application of the new design style, the new car lines look more compact and have a refreshing visual feeling.
Specifically, the front face of the new car adopts the design idea of "simplifying into complexity", the intake grille is composed of multiple layers of fine segmented banner chrome grille, and the two ends of the trim are scattered into regular dot matrix decoration, which looks more complex and the sense of hierarchy is quite clear. In addition, the front face of the new car also adopts a through-grid connection to the LED headlights on both sides, weakening the traditional grille boundary through staggered decorative strips, achieving a borderless visual effect and stretching the horizontal visual width of the front face.
In terms of size, the length, width and height of the BYD destroyer 05 are: 4780/1837/1495mm, the wheelbase is 2718mm, in addition to the body length is 15mm more than the Qin PLUS DM-i, including the wheelbase, other dimensions are consistent. Looking closely, the shape of the side of the new car is coordinated and smooth, the curve of the roof is smooth and full, and the design of the rear extension creates a certain sense of movement. It is worth noting that three small grooves have been added under the LED turn signal of the rearview mirrors of the new car, which enhances visual recognition, and the rearview mirrors are also equipped with the NFC mobile phone key unlock function, which can unlock the vehicle by touching the rearview mirrors of the mobile phone, which is very practical.
In the rear part of the car, the smooth and silky line elements outline a full-shaped and three-dimensional tail posture, which is very similar to the Qin PLUS DM-i. In the details, the design of the rear of the car can form a good visual echo with the front face, maintaining the unity of the design language, and the through-type LED taillights use a geometric arrangement dot matrix design similar to the mid-grid grid style, with a blackened transparent lampshade, which looks quite futuristic.
In terms of interior, the interior layout of the new car basically continues the design style of the BYD family, and the familiar wrap-around cockpit design and the 15.6-inch rotatable suspension screen are the distinctive interior "symbols" of BYD models. In addition, the interior design of the new car also incorporates the concept of marine aesthetics, with smooth and soft lines, supplemented by multi-segment chrome trim embellishments, which is really exquisite. In addition to the gray/black combination, the interior is also embellished with pink color, highlighting the layering through detail decoration, making the atmosphere of the car more active.
In terms of configuration, the new car is equipped with an 8.8-inch full LCD instrument, compared to the LCD instrument above the Qin PLUS DM-i, the size is larger, the display effect is clearer and easier to read, and it also integrates conventional driving information including mileage, driving mode, average fuel consumption, speed, engine speed, etc., which is practical, but the black edge is too obvious, and the sense of refinement is slightly general. In addition, the new car is also equipped with a 15.6-inch central control screen, the screen ratio reaches 83%, the screen display is clear, the touch sensitivity is high, and the latest DiLink (5G) network connection system is built-in, the system runs smoothly and the function integration is high. For example: automatic emergency braking, adaptive far and near light, traffic sign recognition, lane assistance, panoramic transparent image system, dual-zone automatic air conditioning and other functions can be adjusted or preset in the central control car machine.
In terms of power, BYD destroyer 05 is equipped with Xiaoyun 1.5L plug-in hybrid, of which the maximum power of the 1.5L engine is 110 horsepower, the peak torque is 135 Nm, and the thermal efficiency reaches 43.04%, which matches the EHS system, the main component is dual motors, the maximum power of the motor is 197 horsepower, the peak torque is 325 Nm, and the power parameters are consistent with the Qin PLUS DM-i endurance 120KM version of the model. Zero hundred acceleration time is also 7.3 seconds, the minimum state of charge fuel consumption is 3.8L/100km. It is worth mentioning that the new car also provides NEDC pure electric endurance 55/120KM two versions of the model for consumers to choose, of which the 120KM version also supports a 17kW fast charging mode.
