A few days ago, we went to Chengdu to test drive the 121km endurance version of bydir Han DM-i, but we did not expect that just a few days later, BYD held a test drive meeting of the Han EV Genesis Edition in Chongqing.
Friends who are familiar with Chongqing and those who are not familiar with Chongqing know that this "mountain city" is full of winding and rugged slopes, and the intricate ups and downs make locals easy to get lost; but after all, it is a megacity, although the road is steep, the road surface is smooth. This is actually the status quo of the internet red national highways in Tibet and Xinjiang, which are no longer potholes and mud, even if you drive a car to travel, you can completely hold it.
Then, as an e-commerce seller selling outdoor camping equipment, Weidian will definitely introduce the theme at this moment - is HanEV suitable for long-distance travel?
Previously, we have released a dynamic evaluation video of BYD Han DM-i, although the power of Han DM-i and Han EV is different, but after all, the same system and the same origin, the two cars have too many similarities, this article will focus on bringing you the difference between the two, and the Han EV Genesis Edition and the old Han EV are different.
appearance:
Han EV Genesis edition compared to the old model appearance is not much different, the front face is almost the same, the Genesis version of the air intake curtain, the front bumper has been fine-tuned; the tail is completely changed, everyone can see the rear bumper style and through the taillights are higher, but if the old owner also wants to change to the genesis version of the taillights, it can really only be thought of - because the sheet metal parts of the entire rear half of the car are newly open molded, and even the charging port position is moved from the previous one left and right to the right side, even if the new tail light components are found from a seafood market. There is no way to achieve equal replacement.
In addition to the Genesis Edition, the HanEV Qianshan Cui Limited Edition was also on display, the emerald blue car paint revealed a very low-key luxury under the refraction of daylight, and the chrome-plated "dragon whisker" trim through the front of the car was also changed to a bright black style.
Interior:
The overall interior has not changed much, diLink4.0 central control screen in the 5G Danna version of the Han EV is also equipped, not the most direct way to distinguish, the fastest distinction is to observe whether the A-pillar has a driver monitoring camera (715KM honorable type is not equipped), and whether there is a W-HUD head-up display in front of the steering wheel (standard). In addition, the Genesis vehicle dashboard can call up the navigation interface through the steering wheel menu keys, providing full screen, small screen and simple three modes.
The HUD head-up display can be set in the central control interface for angle and brightness, L2 assisted driving and navigation can be selected to turn off, according to the actual measurement of entering the tunnel, HanEV Genesis Edition of the HUD can automatically adjust the brightness according to the outside light.
Integrated sports seats and dragon scale split seats users can choose their own, if you continue to choose a split seat, you can two people in the headrest button at the same time, with a fine needle poke the lower square hole, you can take out the headrest, at this time the seat down to the lowest can be roughly connected to the rear row, self-driving camping can be used as a "bed car". However, the Qianshan Cui Edition can only choose one-piece seats, and cannot achieve the headrest to be reclined.
Endurance:
In order to better meet the long-distance self-driving travel scenario, we specially chose the 715km version of the model with a longer battery life. It is worth noting that the 715km here is the CLTC working life, and the previous NEDC endurance of 605km is not the same standard, can not be directly reduced, we just need to know that the battery capacity from 76.9kWh to 85.4kWh on the line.
Due to the weather, our test drive did not go 400km to the tourist attractions in the suburbs of Chongqing as other media, but returned to the mountain near the starting point after half a week of circumvention, so the high-speed driving time is not much, but there are more urban roads and winding roads.
In the total distance of about 80km of the aimless test drive, after a number of different media teachers in the same car footwork and arbitrary driving mode without reason, plus opened a lonely 22 ° C warm air conditioning, the final apparent energy consumption of about 15.6kWh / 100km, according to the simple violent conversion that does not have universal significance, the 715km version of the model in the national highway township + Panshan Road mostly self-driving tour, full electric play about 550km is no problem.
control:
The legendary "DiSus-C Intelligent Electronically Controlled Active Suspension" is only available in four-wheel drive models, and the 715km two-wheel drive version we drive does not exist, but compared to the old model, the Han EV Genesis Edition is based on the front McPherson + rear multi-link, and replaces the aluminum alloy suspension system, including the front aluminum alloy swing arm/steering suspension and the rear aluminum alloy traction arm/control arm/steering knuckle suspension.
Or thanks to the material, or thanks to the new tuning, the overall chassis texture of the two-wheel drive version of the Han EV Genesis Edition has been improved to a certain extent, the chassis is more solid and thick, and the filtering of the fine road surface is more crisp, but this is more obvious in the rear seat, and the front row driving is not much different from the old model.
The lifting brought by the suspension is more directly reflected in the four-wheel drive version, and the DiSus-C can adjust the 4 suspension soft and hard in advance according to the road conditions, such as the inner wheels become soft and the outer wheels become hard when the mountain passes the corner, providing better support and reducing roll. In short, this "intelligent electronic control active suspension" is more to bring comfort and safety improvement, rather than the outdoor camping passability brought by air suspension.
discharge:
Han EV Genesis Edition is equipped with a standard 6kW VtoL external discharge function, which can be called an outdoor camping artifact, which is almost double the power of the past 3.3kW, and more and larger camping appliances can be held. Since the unified formation test drive is not easy to find more exaggerated electrical appliances for testing, we borrowed the hotel's kettle for POSS shooting, and a kettle discharge consumption meter is only 0.1kWh, which shows that 6kW can only be described as "saturated output".
The production version of the external discharge gun has also been upgraded to a thicker four-square line, with a row of 250V 32A, and three sets of independent sub-control sockets.
In addition to external discharge, the 2kW 220V interior discharge under the rear seats is also equipped in the 715KM flagship model of this test drive, the 715KM premium model does not have this configuration, and the 610KM four-wheel drive premium type needs to be additionally selected.
Unlike the previous test drive of Han DM-i, han EV genesis edition does not see the secondary menu of "discharge settings" in the "new energy" directory controlled by DiLink 4.0. "Low power self-starting engine" does not have any meaning for pure electric models, and this function can indeed be eliminated, but the setting of "the remaining time of a single discharge" has also disappeared, which is really not understood, and EV models should need more planning for external discharge in advance.
summary:
The newly listed Han EV Genesis Edition two-wheel drive provides two configurations, four-wheel drive provides one configuration, Qianshancui Limited Edition is a single seedling, in addition, the current 506km/605km luxury two configurations on sale will continue to be sold, and the Han EV family has a total of 6 configuration versions to choose from.
For pure electric camping, the 715KM flagship model with longer battery life and in-car discharge function will be the first choice. The reason why the 610km four-wheel drive premium type is only 1100 yuan more expensive than the 715KM flagship type is to control the price within the subsidy line of 300,000 yuan, and many comfortable configurations become optional, if you are not interested in Nappa leather seats, Brembo four-piston calipers, etc., it is equivalent to spending the same price as the old Han EV four-wheel drive high-performance flagship version, you can get HUD head-up display, heat pump air conditioning and many other use configurations. At this time, an additional 20,000 yuan of zhenxiang combination set can be installed to meet the subsidy and full the configuration at one time.
