With byd this month's announcement of "stopping the production of fuel vehicles" and winning the china new energy sales championship in March, BYD's new energy products have once again become a hot topic of discussion, especially the seals that will officially announce the pre-sale price this month (the pre-sale range is 220,000-280,000 yuan) - as a new model of tesla model 3, with the continuous exposure of various vehicle parameters, various discussions on the network have also begun on its product strength, many of which have blown up. There are also complaints that its overall parameters are not as expected.
In order to let everyone better and more comprehensively understand the real situation and latest news of BYD seals, we will start from the dimensions of endurance, estimated price, core selling points, etc., and make some simple comparisons between seals and Model 3, without blowing or black, and saying some content that we think is valuable.
There are no surprises in the battery life, what are the highlights?
From the previously exposed declaration chart, we already know that the three-dimensional size of the seal based on BYD e platform 3.0 is 4800 *1875*1460mm, and the wheelbase is 2920mm. It is worth noting that as early as the release of BYD e platform 3.0, BYD internally divided the e platform 3.0 into small, medium and large three types, the previous dolphin and meta PLUS is the product of the 3.0 small car platform, and seals are based on the medium platform, they are actually different in core technology, such as heat pump air conditioning and so on.
In other words, the three endurance versions currently announced by SEAL (standard endurance is CLTC550km, battery capacity is 61.44 degrees, four-wheel drive CLTC650km, rear-drive CLTC700km, battery capacity is 82.56 degrees) will have better actual battery life in winter. At the same time, it has more advantages than the Model 3 and Volkswagen ID. family that use ordinary heat pump air conditioners.
Of course, some people also questioned that "the seal long endurance of 700km is not much of a surprise and highlight, and the four-wheel drive version of the endurance is even less than the Model 3's 675km", but combined with BYD's previous pure electric products is really a mileage, its mileage part has not been too false. In addition, even if the four-wheel drive top version is matched, the SEAL will be almost 80,000 yuan cheaper than the Model 3 high-performance version.
For example, after the integration of the battery chassis, the dolphin's interior space has been further released, especially the vertical space performance, which is the main reason why we see the actual space performance and riding experience of the rear row of the SEAL in the future will be much better than that of the Model 3. Secondly, in the charging efficiency part of the fast charge, the seal is between the new Han EV and the Tang EV, and the time required to rush from 30% to 80% is about 25 minutes, basically reaching the 2C level.
The car weighs more than 2 tons, how much can the double interpolation arm and five linkages improve?
Judging from the declaration information of the SEAL, the vehicle quality of the two rear-drive and a four-wheel drive version of the model is 1885kg, 2015kg and 2150kg, respectively, compared with the Model 3 vehicle weight of almost 300kg, many people also seize this point to question the dolphin's athletic performance.
However, from an objective point of view, the weight of the Dolphin 2 tons and above is indeed not low, but compared with the Polarstar Polestar Polestar 2, BMW i4 and other models, the vehicle quality has also reached more than 2 tons. Moreover, the quality of the whole vehicle is not the only criterion for judging the sportiness of a car, and it is also necessary to consider the rigidity of the vehicle frame, the materials for interior and exterior decoration, the weight of the battery pack, and the tuning of the suspension chassis.
In addition, in the suspension combination part, the dolphin can also be regarded as making up for the regret of the Han family, using the combination of the front double plug arm and the rear five connecting rods, which solved the core itch point that the previous product was complained about by netizens at the suspension level that was not advanced enough, plus from the currently released SEAL various spy photos and official maps, its body posture was relatively low, and it would obviously have a higher upper limit and possibility in the sports performance part.
Benchmarking the Model 3, the potential passengers are very different
Frankly speaking, although many people regard the Model 3 as the main competitor in the same level of seals, from the perspective of product positioning, Tesla Model 3 is more like a partial student, filling the control and technology attributes, basically abandoning luxury and comfort, while the core logic of BYD's car is to take care of the experience of more actual users. Therefore, even if the seal will pursue sportsmanship, it will not give up the comfort experience, but to a certain extent, it will make up for the lack of core highlights of BYD Wang Chao's products at the level of sportiness and intelligence.
From another point of view, it can allow more consumers to directly compare seals with Model 3, which has shown that seals are a product that has partially reached the goal for BYD - BYD after years of cultivation in the entry-level market, although there are Han and Tang families such as more than 200,000 level markets and hot products, but the strategic value still needs seals to expand the influence of the high-end market, especially the current first- and second-tier cities pay close attention to the 250,000-300,000-level market.
In fact, the potential user portrait of the seal is also clearly different from the Model 3, and those who are more concerned about the parameter indicators naturally do not feel that the seal has too many highlights and attractions, and the seal's performance in space, comprehensive product strength and charging efficiency is the key selling point to attract its target population.
Of course, don't forget that the high-end version of the seal is likely to be able to optionally install lidar (another set of optional bags will most likely be an upgrade package of interior and exterior decoration), its performance at the intelligent level is bound to far exceed BYD's current Wang Chao sequence products, and the future OTA can upgrade the experience will be more and more complete, and the attraction to young users will be stronger.
Ah Chuan said car
With the exposure of more core information about the appearance, interior color, detailing design and interior of the seal (8 exterior colors and 4 interior colors to choose from), I believe that more people will begin to pay attention to BYD's new pure electric product - according to BYD's publicity plan for seals, its listing and delivery time will not be affected too much by the epidemic.
One of the biggest highlights now may be whether the price of seal entry models will be lower than 220,000 yuan like Han DM-i, after all, there are weilai ET5, Nezha S and other models will also join this level of competition, and seals need to strive for more advantages in terms of delivery speed and price.
