The continuous rise in oil prices has made many car owners "talk about oil discoloration", so that the acceptance of new energy models has increased invisibly, followed by a high new energy market share. But just like many consumers who are afraid of oil prices, the immaturity of pure electric models will also deter many consumers. At this time, the hybrid model in the buffer position of the two has become the best choice.
However, looking at the mainstream A-class car market, there are not many models with hybrid versions, and the price of some joint venture models once exceeded 200,000 yuan, so that many consumers have a thought - why don't I buy A-class cars with this budget? In contrast, the independent brand camp is much closer to the people in terms of price, but which one is really worth buying? If you have such troubles, you may wish to take a look at this one I test drove - BYD Destroyer 05.
Destroyer 05 adopts BYD's new family design, and weakens the boundaries of the central network, further emphasizing the sense of technology of the vehicle. It is worth mentioning that the test drive vehicle provides the mobile phone NFC car key function, and the vehicle can be unlocked by holding the mobile phone close to the exterior mirror of the main driving position. And in the state of no power and no signal on the mobile phone, this function is still supported. The only regret is that this test drive did not have the opportunity to test the feature.
The body size of the destroyer 05 is 4780 *1837 *1495mm, the wheelbase is 2718mm, there is no advantage in the same class of models, and the interior space of the vehicle is also decent.
In terms of seat specifications, the design of the Destroyer 05 is impeccable, the front seats are softly padded, and the ride comfort is high. The sitting posture of the rear seats of the new car is relatively high, the advantage is that it is friendly to the motion sickness crowd, but to a certain extent, it affects the head space, plus the middle platform of the rear row has a certain bulge, so the overall riding space is decent, in line with the standard of mainstream models of the same level.
Inside the car, the first thing that catches your eye is the 15.6-inch extra-large screen and the 8.8-inch LCD instrument panel that contrasts with it. It has to be admitted that compared with the previous BYD model, the destroyer's central control screen has a better UI design, bringing a better visual perception, coupled with the advantages of smooth control and rapid response, it is indeed easy to get the user's favor.
But personally, there is still a little "resentment" about the screen that will rotate when you click to open the APP. Even in the process of driving, the screen will also appear "open the APP to rotate" situation, which also led to if I need to click on the "QQ music" song during the drive, there will be an additional "restore the screen to the horizontal screen" operation, otherwise the vertical screen will hinder the driving line of sight to a certain extent.
The destroyer 05 uses a BYD Snap Cloud-Plug Hybrid 1.5L engine with a maximum horsepower of 110Ps and a test drive version of 120km, so it is also equipped with a drive motor with a maximum power of 145 kW and a peak torque of 316 N·m. In addition, the 120km version adopts a new knob-type gear shift, equipped with EHS145 electromix system, because of the simple structure, there is only one forward gear. Incidentally, do not feel that the structure is simple is pejorative, in fact, the simpler the less likely to make mistakes, the lower the maintenance cost, in the mechanical structure, can use "simple" to complete complex functions, is the optimal performance.
In practice, the dynamic performance of the Destroyer 05 is actually not radical. Whether it is EV mode or HEV mode, whether it is normal mode or sport mode, the vehicle will not have too "sporty" performance. For example, the biggest difference between EV mode and HEV mode is the sensitivity of starting, EV mode lightly press the accelerator of the vehicle will sprang out, HEV is more smooth, complete fuel model "foot feeling". Even in the sport mode, although the power reserve of the vehicle is sufficient and has a certain sense of pushback, it will not give people the stimulation of "adrenaline surge", and it is more of a confidence when overtaking.
The same is true in the chassis feedback, the destroyer 05's chassis as a whole is mainly comfortable, only through relatively large bumps and potholes to make people feel rebound hard. Although the vehicle steering wheel is not electronic and the turning radius of the vehicle is only 5.5m, it does not bring a stronger sense of movement, but a more flexible "tossing and turning" ability in the city.
Interestingly, the Destroyer 05 places the following distance adjustment on the steering wheel on ACC adaptive cruise, and when using this function, it will be implemented with the logic of "follow the car distance priority". This will take a little time to get used to, but fortunately the system is simple enough and easy to operate, so it can be used quickly. For individuals, this approach would be considered better than ACC cruises with only speed adjustments.
Overall, the Destroyer 05, despite its name as "Scaremongering," is a real urban scooter. Perhaps it is still a little unsatisfactory in the details, but from the general point of view, it is moderately priced, almost no one at the same price point is left out; and the vehicle performance is balanced, and on this basis, it is smart enough, smooth and comfortable enough. Therefore, if you want to choose a hybrid model with a price of less than 150,000 yuan, the destroyer 05 is almost an option that you can't avoid.
