How to choose BYD dollar PLUS? What are the features of the custom version? Which version is the most cost-effective?

As the "enlarged version" of the BYD yuan series, the new yuan PLUS was officially launched on February 19 this year, and the new car has a total of 5 versions, and the CLTC mileage is 430km and 510km respectively. In terms of price, the price range of the car after the comprehensive subsidy at the beginning was 131,800 to 159,800 yuan, but after the price adjustment, the current price after subsidy is 137,800 to 165,800 yuan.

Compared with the pre-sale, the yuan PLUS after the official listing has added a new version, that is, the highest price "510KM flagship PLUS". According to BYD's official introduction, the addition of this version is because many of the new car orders are the combination of the top "510KM flagship" and the optional package in the pre-sale stage, so after the official listing, a customized version to meet the needs of consumers was specially launched.

Next, we will sort out the price trend of all five models of the new car in detail, as well as the configuration, and see what functions the official custom version has. Which version is the most cost-effective.

■ "New Top" that is 2,000 cheaper than the pre-sale optional package

First of all, let's take a look at the configuration of the new top version, from the following figure we can see that the "510KM flagship PLUS" has a number of unique functions, such as 12 ultrasonic radar, APA automatic parking, 15.6-inch rotary suspension Pad, as well as electric tailgate, passenger seat electric adjustment.

These configurations are included in a "smart upgrade package" during the pre-sale phase, and the optional cost is 10,000 yuan. However, the current subsidy price of the "510KM Flagship PLUS" version is 165,800 yuan, which is 8,000 yuan more expensive than the "510KM flagship", and the price difference is 2,000 yuan cheaper than the optional package scheme. From this detail, it can be seen that BYD accurately grasps and responds flexibly to changes in market demand.

■ Who is more valuable for the other four?

Let's take a look at the price/performance of the other four versions. In terms of price trends, the cheapest model of the yuan PLUS, "430KM luxury type", is priced at 137,800 yuan after subsidies, then the "430KM premium type" is priced at 7,000 yuan, and the "510KM honorable type" is 3,000 yuan more expensive, and finally the "510KM flagship type" is 10,000 yuan more than the previous one, which has a relatively large leap.

In addition, from the model naming and mileage parameters, it can be seen that the metaPLUS is divided into two series: "430KM" and "510KM".

In both series, "Deluxe" and "Premium" are low-end versions, while "Premium" and "Flagship" are high-end versions. In the price section, the difference between the two low-end versions is 10,000 yuan, and the difference between the high-end versions is 13,000 yuan.

In terms of functional distribution, most of the functions of the new metaPLUS are configured according to this law, but there are also some special configurations, such as the luxury type without VTOL mobile power station / power output device, and the DC charging power varies according to the two series of power systems.

So why is the difference between the flagship and the premium type more than 3,000 yuan? That's because the flagship is also equipped with up to 12 additional features, especially the addition of more practical intelligent driver assistance functions, in addition to the increase in the number of speakers, the main passenger foot lighting and the rear seat belt untied prompts can all be the icing on the cake to enhance the driving experience.

■ Bang reviews

In fact, from the perspective of the official configuration table, bydio yuan PLUS is still relatively rich in overall configuration, such as wireless charging of mobile phones as standard in the whole series, a number of security technologies from Bosch (Bosch), TPMS tire pressure monitoring system, intelligent voice interaction system, online precision navigation, front and rear USB interfaces, BYD intelligent cloud services and other functions.

In terms of purchase strategy, if the budget is limited or the mileage is not too concerned, the premium type in the "430KM" series is more cost-effective, spending 7,000 yuan more but can produce a lot of configurations. If the budget is less than 160,000 or there is a just need for endurance, we recommend choosing the 510KM flagship model is enough, after all, the meta PLUS is a compact SUV, parking or opening the tailgate is not difficult, so some of the functions of the flagship PLUS are not "necessities".

In addition, if you consider the cost of the car, I think the "430KM" series is more affordable for friends who commute for a short distance, because its charging cost is lower. Taking Beijing as an example, the current charging unit price of the State Grid charging pile at the peak of the wave is basically around 1.8 yuan, and the 49.92kWh battery of the new PLUS "430KM" series needs to spend about 80 yuan to use fast charging from 0% to full charge during this period, if it is charged a week, the monthly charging fee is 320 yuan, and the year is 3840 yuan. The "510KM" series corresponds to a monthly charging cost of about 388 yuan, which is about 4656 yuan a year. This money can charge the "430KM" series for 15 months.
