On the afternoon of April 10, the BYD brand, which has just announced that it will no longer produce pure fuel vehicles, officially launched the 2022 Han family new car. From the price point of view, Han DM-i has a total of four models, namely 21.58W, 22.58W, 23.58W, and 28.98W, Han DM-P four-wheel drive flagship price of 31.98W, Han EV Genesis Edition has three models, namely 26.98W, 28.75W, and 28.86W, Qianshancui limited edition price of 32.98W.
After reading the above price, I don't know what you will feel in your heart, anyway, the first reaction in my mind is: it is much more expensive than expected, and the last bit of illusion is completely shattered.
Taking the Han DM-i, the most enthusiastic purchase by everyone, as an example, BYD officially showed an extremely accurate configuration of knife castration. The minimum 121KM Premium Edition only retains some of the most basic power configurations, including the 1.5Ti engine + 145kw permanent magnet motor of the electromix system and the basic intelligent driver assistance system, etc. If you want HiFI-level Tanner audio, passenger seat ventilation and heating, you can only choose the 22.58W 121KM honorable type.
On this basis, the 23.58W 121KM premium type has added automatic anti-glare inner mirrors, rear air conditioning multi-function touch screen, independent partition intelligent atmosphere lights, main and passenger seats, and dragon scale luxury seats. On the whole, in the three DM-i models with an official mileage of 121KM, the core configurations such as power, assisted driving, and intelligent cockpit are the same, and the most cost-effective is undoubtedly the zhongpai honor type.
Of course, the most expensive flagship configuration is also the most complete and luxurious. First of all, its pure electric mileage can reach 242KM, equipped with 160KW higher power permanent magnet motor, and the only aluminum alloy suspension system in the DM-i series; secondly, the ultrasonic radar increases from 8 of the previous three models to 12, and the high-precision millimeter wave radar increases from 1 to 5, thus supporting more L2+ assisted driving, including light lane change, front and rear traffic guidance and automatic braking, blind spot monitoring, parallel assist, backward collision warning, door opening warning, APA visual parking and so on.
Finally, the flagship model also has high-performance Chinese red four-piston calipers, W-HUD head-up display, electronic child lock, higher 80KW DC fast charge, 220V AC socket in the car, leather steering wheel, and NAPPA leather seats.
It can be clearly seen that BYD has retained many key configuration features to the 28.98W 242KM flagship model, but what puzzles me is that although these configurations are clearly divided in the DM-i series, they are common configurations among competitors, such as 220V AC sockets in the car, advanced child locks, leather steering wheels, etc. I have to say that BYD really did something too much this time.
In fact, the DM-i series has always been cheaper than the same DM model, but the Han family has clearly broken this convention this year, and naturally exceeded many people's expectations. So, compared with last year's 222,800 and 242,800 Han DM, what are the differences in the configuration under the same price?
First of all, the Han DM is obviously more powerful, the whole series of four-wheel drive, 100 km acceleration is only 4.7s, but at the same time the fuel consumption is stronger than dm-i, the total cruising range of 800km is not as good as the latter; in assisted driving, Han DM and 121KM Han DM-i maintain the same configuration, not as good as the flagship model; in terms of cockpit configuration, around 22W, whether it is Han DM or Han DM-i, it cannot enjoy the ventilation and heating of the passenger seat, and the high-end version of about 24W is owned.
In general, at the same price, the cabin configuration of Han DM and Han DM-i remains basically the same, there is not much change and upgrade, but Han DM is all four-wheel drive, and is a 2.0Ti engine + 180kw after the permanent magnet motor combination, the power performance is obviously stronger than Han DM-i, pure electric mileage of 81 km, although 40 km less than Han DM-i, but considering the actual use and endurance shrinkage, in fact, 81 and 121 km are not much different, want to truly achieve urban electricity, If you use oil for long distances, I think that at least the pure electric endurance should be more than 150 kilometers to achieve obvious results.
Previously, everyone speculated that the starting price of the Han DM-i series was lower than that of DM, and the cost performance would be very obvious, but the result was that due to the tension in the upstream supply chain, the price increase of raw materials, the official pricing strategy and other factors, the price of Han DM-i rose sharply, in this case, the budget within 25W was obviously more fragrant, after all, everyone's pure electric endurance is not GOOD, at this time, it is obviously the most cost-effective to sacrifice some fuel consumption in exchange for a stronger four-drive force.
