Who would have thought that by virtue of the Han family has dug a lot of Tesla "corners" of BYD, it will come back to dig a shovel, as if it did not dig last time...
Do not understand? That's okay, read on!
On March 30, BYD officially announced the second product of the marine pure electric series - seals.
Obviously, even after looking at the official picture released outside the car circle, it can be found that this product with a cute name does not have the same cute appearance, the coupe slips back is not less, who is aimed at, basically needless to say, overflowing with words...
The sports fan is very full, the price has a surprise?
Let's look at the details.
The difference between BYD's seal and the existing Dynasty series is still quite obvious.
After removing the shackles of Dragon Face and regaining freedom, the "new force" temperament it showed was quite strong, and the radical front face IP, sexy back and coupe positioning that could make the younger generation excited, none of them fell, and people sent the nickname - "Little Taycan".
Of course, the value of the face is only an auxiliary in determining positioning and pricing, and the size is the key.
According to the declaration information, the seal has a length, width and height of 4800 *1875 *1460mm, a wheelbase of 2920mm, and a standard B-class pure electric sedan.
However, even this performance, compared to BYD's flagship car of the existing car matrix, BYD Han, is still a little less interesting, after all, it is a "big toy" with a size of 5 meters, and the seal as a latecomer still has to honestly rank behind Han.
Therefore, in terms of price, seal pricing is bound to be less than Han EV, and the main range is likely to be in the range of 150,000-200,000.
If this prediction can come true, it is inevitable to wait in line for a long time to pick up the car.
Configuration, can not live up to the sporty model
Frankly speaking, the "flower rack" of the current autonomous car circle is not small, but when it comes to the "examination", there are not many that can be supported.
If the same is true for BYD seals, then the nickname of "Little Taycan" is a bit sorry for the expectations of "Di Fan".
Fortunately, for now, the performance of seals in configuration is still remarkable.
Based on the e platform 3.0, which is somewhat rounded platform to create a dolphin has a total of 3 kinds of power to choose from, the maximum power output of the two single motor versions is 150kW/230kW, the performance is relatively ordinary, and the performance should be directly referred to Han EV and Xiaopeng P7 long endurance version.
In addition to these two configurations, THE SEAL also has a four-wheel drive version equipped with a front-mounted 160kW AC asynchronous motor and a rear-mounted 230kW permanent magnet synchronous motor, and the performance performance is a bit difficult to estimate.
Of course, such as blade batteries, SiC silicon carbide electronic control, heat pump air conditioning and other e-platform 3.0 housekeeping skills will also appear together, in order to dig the corner of the Model 3 again, BYD is really prepared a lot.
How will the Model 3 respond?
Well, after the competitors are in place, the pressure finally comes to the Tesla Model 3.
After all, compared to the Han EV, the seal size is more similar to the Model 3, and the aggressive style is more targeted, as for BYD Han, it is better to stand on the side and seriously fight against the Xiaopeng P7.
Judging from the current state of Tesla, it is obviously unrealistic to expect a significant product upgrade of the Model 3 within the year.
The 4680 electrodeless ear battery, which is regarded as the black technology of the car circle, is still in the trial production stage, and the first batch of test vehicles equipped with 4680 batteries in the Shanghai Lingang Super Factory still has a pure import status.
Of course, considering Tesla's aggressiveness in autopilot, the upgrade of the model 3's autopilot function during the year is obviously predictable, and the 220kW new domestic motor model 3D6 has also been applied in the sold version.
In addition, the new upgrade direction of Model 3 does not seem to have too many signs, so the opportunity for seals is still very large.
Conclusion:
The Age of the Seas is the starting point for BYD to remove stereotypes, and the waves stirred up by a dolphin are not large, but with this seal, it should be much more impressive.
In a sense, BYD has learned a lot from the new forces and is more comfortable dealing with the "catfish" of the market like model 3. Of course, the most interesting point in the market is often not who has produced new products, who has sacrificed what kind of black technology, the performance of the opponent is the most interesting, I don't know how the rest of the players will react when the seals come out?
