BYD launched a new car after abandoning fuel vehicles to compete for intelligent driving

Reporters Huang Lin and Tong Haihua reported from Guangzhou

Since BYD officially announced the suspension of fuel vehicles in early April, the automotive industry has opened up a new situation in the discussion of the new energy vehicle market. In the face of the industry's hot discussion, BYD unveiled the new model of the Han family aimed at the mid-to-high-end market, and the price of the limited edition model exceeded 329,800 yuan, becoming the most expensive model in BYD's current sales.

This time, the bydie Han family conference has made a breakthrough in the form of a new energy vehicle company, which is closer to the young marketing model of new energy vehicle companies, which is eye-catching. The Han family has launched four new models, Han EV Genesis Edition, Han DM-i, Han DM-p, and Han EV Qianshancui Limited Edition, with a price range of 215,800 to 329,800 yuan after comprehensive subsidies.

As the main force of BYD's entry into the mid-to-high-end market, BYD Han has high hopes by BYD Chairman Wang Chuanfu. On the occasion of BYD's listing in 2020, Wang Chuanfu once said: "Han, from model planning to formal mass production, ten years to grind a sword." BYD Hui's leading technology is committed to building Han into a new energy flagship sedan integrating the three benchmarks of 'safety, performance and luxury'. ”

BYD Han, which "sharpens a sword in ten years", is the world's first model equipped with blade batteries. At that time, the price range of BYDHan's comprehensive subsidy was 219,800 to 279,500 yuan. Two years later, the price of BYD Han after the upgrade has doubled, and the design, performance, and intelligence have all improved.

Looking at the current new energy vehicle market, there are only a few pure electric vehicles priced at more than 400,000 yuan. Compared with the joint venture brand, the current domestic passenger car market is willing to pay for high-priced pure electric vehicles. How to shape high-end pure electric models, BYD first focused on design and interior.

The four models launched by the BYD Han family continue the "Longyan Aesthetics" design, the front face adopts a piano black sports kit, and the taillights are replaced by a new through-chinese ending light design. Among them, the front faces of Han DM-i and Han DM-p have joined the sports car design, two vertical dragon fins, the unique diamond-like dragon scales of the front grille, and the iconic large mouth design, which make the whole vehicle more elegant in addition to improving performance.

In terms of interior, the new model extracts the "product" glyph arrangement method in the ancient building, coupled with the details of diversified dragon elements, the new one-piece sports seat is optional, and the night purple carbon fiber interior supports more models to be selected. At the same time, the HanEV Qianshancui Limited Edition is also equipped with carbon black wheels, blackened front and rear headlights, high-performance stone green four-piston pliers (front), green carbon fiber materials, etc., and equipped with intelligent fragrance function.

In addition, BYD Han has also upgraded its vehicle performance. Both the Han EV series and the Han DM-p adopt DiSus-C intelligent electronically controlled active suspension and super intelligent electric four-wheel drive. The former can achieve the change of damping characteristic curve, through the control algorithm to achieve both handling and comfort, the latter can be at different speeds, different load conditions, according to different acceleration curves, distribute the appropriate torque to the front and rear drive assembly, through the corresponding proportion of distribution, to ensure that different road conditions to get off the body posture is stable while reducing power consumption.

Among them, the Han EV series two-wheel drive version OFCLTC cruising range can reach 715km, the Han EV series four-wheel drive version of 100 km acceleration of up to 3.9 seconds, the standard wide temperature range high-efficiency heat pump air conditioner can achieve efficient absorption of ambient heat at low temperatures, the energy consumption of air conditioners at low temperatures is reduced by about 40%, the thermal efficiency of power battery direct cooling direct heat technology is increased by 20%, and the low temperature cruising range of the whole vehicle is increased by 10%.

Han DM-i is equipped with a Snap Cloud-Plug Hybrid turbocharged 1.5Ti high-efficiency engine, an EHS hybrid system, a super hybrid special power blade battery, and a maximum of 80kW safe boost fast charging and other configurations, NEDC comprehensive working conditions of power loss fuel consumption as low as 4.2L/100km, NEDC comprehensive cruising range of up to 1300 km.

Han DM-i has two total battery capacity configurations of 18.3kW·h and 37.5kW·h, which can provide pure electric endurance of 121km and 242km respectively under THE COMPREHENSIVE WORKING CONDITIONS of NEDC, which is the longest pure electric endurance model in the plug-in hybrid sedan.

It is worth mentioning that the eye-catching highlight of the BYDHan family is the intelligent upgrade. Stepping forward in the intelligent network competition, BYD Han's upgrade in intelligence is particularly obvious.

In addition to the well-known BYD DiLink 4.0 (5G) intelligent network system, the BYD Han family is also equipped with the DiPilot intelligent driver assistance system, the whole vehicle is equipped with 24 sensors, 12 ultrasonic radars, 5 millimeter wave radars, 4 surround view cameras, 1 intelligent driving high perception camera, 1 Eps torque sensor and 1 DMS driver status monitoring camera.

With the blessing of the above configuration, the Han family can achieve L2.5 level assisted driving level, increase high-speed road driving assistance, emergency lane keeping assistance, smart comity and other functions, as well as HWA highway road assistance. Through the follow-up OTA upgrade, the Han family can realize the turn signal lever based on the driving speed of 60km/h to 130km/h in scenarios such as highways or urban expressways, and automatically change lanes when the system automatically confirms the safety of road conditions.

In addition, thanks to the above configuration, the Han family can carry out DMS driver monitoring (including fatigue and attention monitoring), and conduct fatigue detection, distraction detection, and long-term driving detection for drivers through multimedia, instrument icon text and language. W-HUD head-up display system, support display ADAS (cruise control, lane assist, blind spot warning), etc., if the driver wants to view the vehicle information, only need to look down 3 to 7 degrees through the W-HUD.

Since its listing, the BYDHan family has sold more than 190,000 vehicles, exceeding 10,000 units in consecutive months. After devoting itself to the manufacture of new energy vehicles, BYD's official website highlighted the label of "leader of new energy vehicles", but whether it can "lead" the independent brands of new energy vehicles into the era of high-end, BYD still needs time to verify.
