In recent years, BYD has relied on Dynasty.com models, blade batteries, and DM-i hybrids to change everyone's inherent cognition and gain a large wave of fans, but it has always been difficult to make a breakthrough for the more sporty and younger market. Recently, the BYD seal for young people is finally on the list of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, in the face of competitors, BYD seals will be benchmarked tesla Model 3, so does it really have that strength?
Can it really be a rival to tesla model 3?
Combined with the information and pictures currently revealed by BYD Seals, this car is benchmarked against the Tesla Model 3. It is said that the length of the new car is 4770mm, the width of the car is 1860mm, the height of the car is 1460mm, and the wheelbase is 2900mm, which reaches the level of a medium-sized car, which is very close to the Tesla Model 3, and it is similar in shape, so the BYD seal is jokingly called "BYD Model 3" by many people.
In terms of power, it will be equipped with a single-motor rear-drive system with a power of 150 kW and 180 kW, and a dual-motor four-wheel drive system with a maximum power of 360 kW, with zero hundred acceleration of 3.8 seconds. A simple comparison of the tesla Model 3 high-performance version, the front motor maximum power of 137kW, the rear motor maximum power of 220kW, zero hundred acceleration of 3.3 seconds, in the performance output is similar.
So can BYD SEAL really be a rival to the Tesla Model 3? From the parameter point of view, this is indeed the case, but the reason why Tesla Model 3 sells well, in addition to its own good performance, and its brand power and intelligent assisted driving that leads other car companies are also inseparable. Although BYD did open up its popularity with DM-i, in the era of pure electric vehicles and software definition, BYD's backwardness is not just a star and a half, which is why BYD has to cooperate with Baidu.
Should I panic or Xiaopeng P7?
Consumers who buy the WEIO ET5 and Tesla Model 3 may not go to see BYD seals, but potential customers of the Xiaopeng P7 may not be. The starting price of xiaopeng P7 is around 220,000 yuan, which may overlap with the price of BYD seals. In BYD's product sequence, there is no bias towards sports-oriented models, BYD seals in the take into account the family at the same time, do more young, sporty, BYD seals appear to a certain extent to fill the gap in the product.
In BYD's products, both the oil car and the tram use the front-drive mode, and the BYD Seal is a rear-drive layout, and also provides a four-wheel drive version, and bydir Seal also uses the front double wishbone + rear multi-link suspension form, which is also not available in its other models. In the chassis steering and suspension, bydir SEALs are in line with the specifications of the Xiaopeng P7.
One thing to say is that BYD Seal is based on the e platform 3.0 to build, the new platform uses battery body integration technology, but also in the key parts of the reinforcement, improve the body stiffness, this can improve safety, but in fact, the battery body integration technology is also beneficial to handling, so in theory, BYD SEAL steering may be more accurate.
Previously, the new technology of e platform 3.0 will also be used on BYD seals, such as Dolphin, with the advantages of e platform 3.0 and heat pump air conditioning, ranking first in the endurance achievement rate of the same class of models, BYD Seals may also be equipped with updated pulse self-heating technology on the basis of heat pump air conditioning.
Write at the end
Compared with the emergence of BYD seals, it may really have the strength to challenge the products in the price range of 200,000-300,000 yuan, but the biggest problem now is not that the new car products are not strong enough, but the demand for the rapid outbreak is seriously insufficient, and BYD is currently facing the embarrassing situation of no car to deliver, with more and more new cars launched by BYD, BYD's current production capacity will bear great challenges.
