A few days ago, we introduced the BYD destroyer 05 for everyone, and many friends are also very concerned about the test driving experience of this car, and we will share it with you today. First of all, a brief review of the main features of the destroyer 05, this car can be seen as a sister model of the Qin PLUS DM-i, the body and chassis are basically unchanged, and the super hybrid DM-i is the same. However, the 55KM version of the Destroyer 05 adds a high-end premium version, which is equipped with an L2-level driver assistance system. The price of the destroyer 05 is several thousand yuan more expensive than the Qin PLUS DM-i, and the configuration has also been improved, such as most models are equipped with 8.8-inch full LCD instruments and 12.8-inch touch screens, and the top is equipped with a 15.6-inch large central control screen.
The Marine Series is divided into two categories, and the products named after marine organisms are pure electric models, such as dolphins that have already been listed and seals that are about to launch. The warship products are plug-in hybrid models, the destroyer series is a sedan, the 05 is the first compact class sedan, and a frigate series is an SUV model.
The shape adopts the design concept of "marine aesthetics", which is completely different from the style of the Dynasty series, with a borderless front face, and the front of the car looks wider and lower. The staggered strips mimic the waves of the ocean, with through-chrome strips and through-strips of light at the top, in short, there are many horizontal elements. The headlamp shape is flat, the interior is a split light group, the bottom LED daytime lamp and the central light strip are integrated, and there are dot matrix light particles on the side, and the details are richer.
The body size is 4780/1837/1495mm in length, width and height, and the wheelbase is 2718mm. Compared with qin PLUS, the front and rear bumpers of the destroyer 05 were changed, and the length was slightly increased by 15mm, and the rest was the same. The Qin PLUS front fenders are decorated with three light clusters that can be lit with the headlights, and the destroyer 05 cancels it, and the sides look more flat.
The tail change is not large, there are also through-type tail lights, the bumper change is more obvious, the license plate frame part looks very large, and there is an air outlet shape on both sides, which echoes the front air duct shape, and still uses a hidden exhaust.
The brake lights were changed to an array of 4 equal signs, which looked fresh and unified with the style of the front of the car.
The most important upgrade of the carriage is to increase the screen, Qin PLUS has been spat on the most 4.2-inch LCD instrument here to upgrade to 8.8 inches, it looks much more comfortable; the central control screen is also increased from 10.1 inches to 12.8 inches, which is standard. The top accessory also gives a 15.6-inch large screen, which looks a lot more atmospheric and the touch operation is more convenient. In terms of details, the air outlets on both sides have added a red border, the colored atmosphere light strip has been added under the center console, and the interior color is mainly light tones, which is much younger and livelier.
In addition to the entry-level model, the rest are equipped with 8.8-inch full LCD meters, providing two sets of classic and simple themes, and you can also choose the lap timer mode, the screen will become a track style, enhance the sports atmosphere.
The 15.6-inch large screen supports 90° adaptive rotation, the screen bezel is very narrow, and the screen ratio is 83%. The car machine adopts the latest DiLink 4.0 intelligent network connection system, the commonly used shortcut keys are arranged at the bottom, the main interface screen is also very intuitive, through the screen can control most of the functions of the vehicle, installed a lot of common app, the accuracy of voice recognition is very high, the speed of touch is also very fast, the experience is very good.
The use of knob-type gear shift replaces the gear lever on the Qin PLUS, which makes the operation simple and more efficient when controlling. The surrounding buttons have also been adjusted, the physical buttons have been changed to touch, and the layout is different. The overall flatness is higher and looks more classy.
The one-piece sports seats in the front row are mainly light colors, with red decorative edges, adding a large area of shoulder support, imitation leather material with punch holes, better breathability.
There is plenty of space in the back row, Kandi is 175cm tall, the leg space is two fists, the top of the head is one fist and two fingers, and the floor is very flat. The comfort of the seat has been improved, the length of the seat cushion feels more than qin PLUS, the support is better, the backrest side support is also good, and the headrest is more comfortable.
This time, we test-drive the flagship 120KM model, which uses the EHS145 system, the maximum power of the motor is 145 kW (197Ps), and the maximum torque is 325 Nm. It is complemented by a 1.5L hybrid engine with a maximum power of 81 kW (110 Ps) and a maximum torque of 135 Nm. Equipped with an 18.3kWh blade battery, NEDC's pure electric mileage is 120 kilometers, which is convenient for users who are convenient for charging in the urban area, and can be used as a pure electric vehicle, and the cost is relatively low.
In order to reflect the low energy consumption when the power is lost, this test drive has only 20% of the electricity at the time of departure, and the engine is more frequently involved, and in the urban road section, it mainly plays the role of a range extender, that is, it is mainly based on power generation. On the highway, the engine directly drives the vehicle, and can also use part of the kinetic energy to generate electricity. On this trip, we departed from Shenzhen to Foshan, and ran 137 kilometers full of 4 adult men. The driving computer showed that the fuel consumption was 5.6 liters, and the battery power increased to 30% when it reached the end. Regardless of the increase in electrical energy, the fuel consumption of this trip is 4.1L/100km, which is not much different from the official minimum state of charge of 3.8L.
When we test drove the Qin PLUS DM-i before, the obvious feeling was that there would be obvious vibration when the engine started, and there was also slight noise and vibration when running. On the destroyer 05, the presence of the engine is reduced, whether it is starting or running, the vibration and noise sensation are smaller, and it needs to be deliberately felt, I believe that the engineers have further optimized the NVH of the engine. The feeling of acceleration is still good, the motor torque is large enough, and it responds instantaneously, without any lag, and the general acceleration and overtaking are easy. Floor oil driving, the peak torque released by the motor instantaneously can bring a feeling of pushing back, and then you can obviously feel the motor torque attenuation, but then the engine starts and enters the afterburner state, keeping the torque no longer reduced, and the power of the rear section is also continuous. We easily ran to a high speed of 140km/h on the closed road, and felt that the power reserve was still quite large, and we thought we were satisfied with the dynamic performance.
Driving with 1/3-2/3 depth throttle, the engine will not easily intervene in acceleration, the torque of the motor itself is also good, the best is that the acceleration is very smooth, and the sound is very small, and the quality of driving is relatively high. In terms of control, the steering wheel feels very light in standard and economic mode, and there is no return to the positive force, which girls will like more. In Sport mode, the steering wheel is slightly tighter, but not heavy, and the pointing accuracy is improved. We feel that its chassis adjustment level has been improved, one is that the chassis noise is reduced, it uses domestic Atlas AS380 tires, theoretically the tire noise should be larger, but the noise is not large, it may be the use of wheel arch noise reduction package to offset; the second is that the suspension tuning is more comfortable, through the speed reduction belt once compressed to complete the filter, there will be no excess jumping, the fast bending lateral support is enough, the body appears very stable, very early German taste. However, it is relatively easy to have a ring tire, and the grip of the tire is general.
Kandi Comments:
We believe that the destroyer 05 is based on the Qin PLUS to do more details, from the configuration of the chassis to the NVH has improved. In terms of configuration, everyone feels obviously, but the improvement of the chassis and NVH is very subtle, and it needs to be felt very carefully. However, as long as BYD keeps improving, it is very gratifying. After all, dm-i is currently the most reasonable and efficient plug-in hybrid method, and the user's reputation has been established, and many people would rather wait than give up after booking. The Destroyer 05 is a bit more expensive than qin plus, but we think it is worth the high price, and it is not impossible for future sales to exceed.
