If you choose a compact home car in the price range of 100,000-150,000 yuan, how will you choose?
In this price range, for most consumers, they may immediately think of hot models such as Corolla, Langyi, Xuanyi, or Sagittarius and Yinglang are also good choices. But in addition, it seems that there are not too many suitable independent brand models, and it seems that in this budget range, it is difficult for independent brand models to compete with joint venture models. However, is this really the case?
In fact, not necessarily, just like BYD's DM-i series, its very subversive super hybrid, with reliable fuel economy and value-added quality-price ratio, and even has the appeal of "a car is difficult to find" in the domestic market, completely breaking the monopoly of the original joint venture brand.
Today, with the continuous attention of the consumer market to new energy technology, BYD has launched a new series of marine networks. With the hot sales of BYD Dolphin, it also launched the first marine network warship series - Destroyer 05 (price range 11.98-15.58 million yuan).
For this model, since its debut at the Guangzhou Auto Show last year, it has attracted a lot of attention from the market and has become the object of consumer attention. So what is the strength of this model? We recently had a field visit, let's take a look!
"Marine aesthetics" is steady and young
At first glance, I think the design of the destroyer 05 is very pleasing to young people, and like BYD Dolphin, the overall style of the entire ocean series has become younger and more fashionable, and its new "ocean aesthetics" design concept, while inheriting the essence of the predecessors, will further transfer the target users to the young group.
It can be seen that the design idea of "simplifying complexity" is properly matched. In particular, the central net originating from the "ripples of the waves" weakens the boundary of the traditional grille through the water droplet dot matrix and staggered decorative strips, and the longitudinal stretching of the air duct on both sides makes the visual feeling of the entire front face very wide and flat, low and low, looking very novel and fashionable.
The headlight group officially known as the "StarLight Battleship" seems to be the successor of Audi's "lamp factory", and the visual impact is full. Like the blackened light cavity in the light group with a dual-lens LED light source and an L-shaped day running lamp, it highlights a good sense of sharpness. Moreover, in terms of lighting configuration, the destroyer 05 is not stingy, automatic headlights, adaptive far and near light, delayed shutdown and so on. Unfortunately, only top-of-the-line models with through-line LED strips are available.
Of course, as a product positioned in the compact class family car, the side of the destroyer 05 is also very charming. It can be seen that the one-stop roof arc with the relaxed body waist line not only takes into account the space, but also gives the coupe a sense of proportion. However, the A+ class body size of the 4780/1837/1495mm does look more slender than its peers.
For the shaping of the rear of the car, it is relatively simple, but the destroyer 05 did not deal with it at will because of the compact car, and still showed the deep design background of "marine aesthetics". It can be seen that the taillight set combined with the "through" and "geometric arrangement lattice" complements the destroyer 05 perfectly.
"Smart technology" is familiar and fresh
Entering the car, the overall shape of the destroyer 05 still gives people a sense of familiarity, but it has given a new connotation in the expression method, and there is no lack of freshness. It can be seen that the overall layout retains the tradition at the same time, but also has a soft charm, looks full of texture.
Of course, the iconic 15.6-inch rotating central control screen remains a core visual element. Configurations such as the 83% screen ratio that can be blurted out, the DLink (5G) intelligent network connection system, and the holographic transparent imaging system once again prove BYD's sincerity. However, the most sincere is the envious 8.8-inch full LCD meter.
Its freshness comes from the attention to details, such as the more flexible and sleek contour line in the car, coupled with the appropriate multi-level color mixing combination, so that the overall atmosphere of the car reveals a good fashion and refinement. At the same time, the new knob-type electronic gear lever also looks more aesthetically pleasing, not only the operation experience is more convenient, but also for the improvement of the overall visual atmosphere, it is indeed a qualitative breakthrough.
If only these, it is not enough to impress people's hearts, for a compact family car, want to become a hit, in addition to having a beautiful design and full configuration, sufficient space and riding comfort are also important assessment criteria. In the actual experience, whether it is the front-row integrated sports-style seats or the rear A+ class space experience, the Destroyer 05 has shown the superior level of the same class, even compared with Honda, Nissan and other Japanese brands that pay great attention to space utilization.
"Super Hybrid" is reliable and affordable
As for the power level, BYD DM-i super hybrid must be very familiar, and the destroyer 05 power system is still composed of a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine + EHS hybrid system + blade battery.
From the book data, although the engine book parameters are decent (maximum horsepower 110 horses, maximum torque 135N·m), but can not ignore the blessing of the EHS motor system. According to official data, the maximum power of its motor can reach 145 kW, which is equivalent to 197 electric horsepower, and the maximum torque can reach 325 N·m.
Therefore, although this is a hybrid system, the performance of the motor is not bad. According to official data, the 05 55KM version of the destroyer can accelerate by 7.9 seconds per 100 kilometers, the 120KM model can reach 7.3 seconds, and the comprehensive fuel consumption is only 3.8L/100km, which is inextricably linked to the thermal efficiency of the engine at 43.04% in addition to the excellent EHS motor system.
Of course, the most critical is the set of "black technology" blade batteries, and the destroyer 05 55KM version of the battery capacity of 8.3kWh, slow charging takes 2.5 hours to fully charge; 120KM model is equipped with 18.3 kWh battery, slow charging takes 5.5 hours to fully charge. It is worth mentioning that the 120km endurance model only has a 17kW fast charging interface (1.1 hours full), while the 55km endurance model can only be replenished by slow charging.
Therefore, if you want to recommend, Xiaobian I am still more inclined to recommend the version of 120KM, after all, double the pure electric endurance and support fast and slow charging, the advantage is still quite obvious, especially in long-distance driving, the service area DC fast charging and powering, significantly faster. And at present, on the market, slow charging is mostly home charging, and commercial fast charging is mostly fast charging, so the advantage of supporting fast and slow charging comes out.
Auto Network Review: Can Destroyer 05 Become a Blockbuster?
From our static experience, as the first model of the Marine Network warship series, the biggest advantage of the Destroyer 05 is that it has a younger exterior interior and a richer technology configuration, which really gives people a new feeling. This new image is more vibrant than the Dynasty series, more attractive to young consumers, and can also bring differentiation to BYD's brand image.
Of course, bydIR DM-i, which is clearly ahead of competitors, is naturally the initiator of many potential consumers' hearts. After all, the collection of new energy vehicles and fuel vehicles low fuel consumption, high endurance and many other advantages, destroyer 05 like an all-round player, really solve the travel troubles of many users, coupled with 11.98-15.58 million affordable price, I believe that becoming another explosive model of BYD, it seems to be a nail in the coffin.
In addition, it is worth noting that from the brand level, with the launch of destroyer 05, as well as the arrival of "SEAL" and "frigate" in the later period, BYD's marine network has become more and more mature, pure electric e platform 3.0 will be handed over to "marine life series", and the main battlefield of DM-i super hybrid will be handed over to "warship series", which shows a clear and clear product positioning layout, and also gives BYD the absolute confidence to stop production fuel vehicles.
Finally, according to official data, BYD sold 104338 vehicles in March, an increase of 160.9% year-on-year, of which new energy is still the pillar of sales, and DM plug-in sales in March were 50,674 vehicles, a year-on-year surge of 615.2%. Among them, the reason why new energy can achieve ultra-high growth is inseparable from the credit of DM series products. So in 2022, do you think destroyer 05 can help BYD create glory again? Let's wait and see!
