"New energy" has now become the main force of independent brands to counterattack the automobile market. Even the "BBA" with brand advantages is difficult to gain an advantage here. The traditional veteran car companies led by BYD and the new car-making forces led by "Wei Xiaoli" have taken advantage of the dilution of the brand advantages of traditional luxury brands in the new energy market to successfully play their appearance advantages and expand the user audience range.
Of course, in order to maintain a position in the center of the market. The dominant independent brands did not feel slack at all, but constantly launched new models. A few days ago, BYD's new Han EV was officially released, the new car was upgraded from the inside to the outside, the maximum endurance reached 715 kilometers, and is expected to be officially listed on April 10. In contrast, the 2022 Xiaopeng P7 has been listed in November 2021, with a price range of 252,900 to 387,900 yuan.
So, when the sales king of the traditional old car companies encounters the traffic ceiling of the new forces, what kind of chemical reaction will be generated, and who is more in line with the appetite of the new generation? Today, let Uncle Che take everyone to see it.
Face value closer
The exterior is attractive
Although the new BYDHan EV still adopts the aesthetic design language of Longyan, it is equipped with a closed front face, grille-type lower bracketing, and through-matrix headlights connected by chrome elements. But the difference is that the new car obviously adjusts the lower bracket structure, not only the air intake size is larger, but also adjusts the trapezoidal grille to an arc design, which is more integrated with the front face.
In terms of side, the new Han EV generally retains the design of the previous model. The body design of the slip-back roof + double waist line shows the silky texture of the car very well. But the difference is that the new car features new two-tone tree-like wheels that will further enhance the sense of sport.
In terms of size, the new Han EV has a length, width and height of 4995/1910/1495 mm and a wheelbase of 2920 mm, which is 15 mm more than the previous model in length. Let the BYD Han EV, which is known for its "big space", occupy more advantages in the same class of models, and there is no doubt that the T1 ranks.
The tail is also full of family flavor, using a penetrating light set + hidden exhaust design + piano black decoration kit of the bumper, very recognizable.
In contrast, the Xiaopeng P7 will walk the minimalist style to the end. It also adopts a closed front face + through light strip + grille type lower bracketing design, and is equipped with split matrix headlights on both sides of the grille. The deepest impression of the whole face is "clean", although there is no "colorful" of other new forces, but the visual perception is particularly comfortable.
In terms of side, the Xiaopeng P7 adopts the hatchback roof commonly found in coupes, and with a penetrating waistline and hidden door handles, it is easy to show the line sense of the car.
In terms of size, the Xiaopeng P7 has a length, width and height of 4880/1896/1450 mm and a wheelbase of 2998 mm. Although it does not have an advantage in length, width and height, the wheelbase of nearly 3 meters makes the Xiaopeng P7 have a better performance in the riding space and the comfort is stronger.
The rear is symmetrically designed front and rear, with penetrating taillights + concealed exhaust + straight body, with a strong minimalist flavor.
The two models have their own characteristics in terms of appearance, BYD Han EV atmosphere is advanced, Xiaopeng P7 minimalist movement, both of which well express the strength of independent brands in terms of design language. However, for the uncle, he still prefers the design of the new BYDHan EV, which is not only very exquisite in style, but also a body of nearly 5 meters, which can also ensure the internal use space.
The appearance is just a starter
Motivation is true love
The new Han EV will be launched in front-drive and four-wheel drive models, of which the front-drive model has a maximum power of 180 kW, a peak torque of 350 Nm, and an acceleration time of 0-100 km/h in 7.9 seconds. The all-wheel drive model will add a maximum power of 200 kW to the rear axle, a peak torque of 350 Nm drive motor, a system combined power of 380 kW, a combined torque of 700 Nm, and an acceleration time of only 3.9 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h.
In terms of endurance, the cruising range of the two-wheel drive version of the CLTC is 715 kilometers under the comprehensive working conditions, and the mileage of the four-wheel drive version is 610 kilometers. This has an absolute advantage in the current models with 500 kilometers as the mainstream endurance level, which can greatly solve the user's endurance anxiety.
In contrast, Xiaopeng P7 adopts the second generation of permanent magnet synchronous motor, the total power of the motor is 196kW, the total torque is 390N·m, the maximum speed is 170 km, and the acceleration time of 0-100 km/h is 6.7 seconds.
In terms of battery life, Xiaopeng P7 will provide two options, one is 480N+ of 480 kilometers, and the other is the 670N+ and 670E+ families of 670 kilometers, with decent endurance performance, but basically meet the needs of urban life.
Uncle Che summed up
First of all, both models are the top products in the mainland new energy market, one represents BYD's comprehensive technical strength, and the other is the first pure electric new force model in the mainland to break 100,000. However, compared with the above data, it is obvious that the new MODEL has more advantages than the ADHAN EV, whether it is appearance, space or power and endurance performance, it has shown a super high level of play, which is difficult not to love.
