The Han Dynasty established the fourth longest dynasty in Chinese history, enjoyed 407 years of the country, created the "rule of Wenjing" and opened up the Silk Road, which was the first golden period in the history of China's development, and basically laid the territory of China after that.
Therefore, there is nothing wrong with BYD choosing Han as its flagship sedan. Today, CAR Brother brings you by BYD Han DM-i 121KM Exclusive, with a guiding price of 235,800 yuan.
Although the front of the car has changed, the overall design language is still dominated by Egger's Dragon Face design language. The middle mesh has been redesigned to resemble an inverted triangle and is arranged in a gradient, with a more dragon scale feel. And add a circle of chrome trim to the original bright black decorative strip to help enhance the texture.
Another change in the front face is the decoration of the fog light area, adding an aerodynamic wind blade and with vents, which can play a role in channeling the airflow at the front of the car.
The side of the body is smooth and silky, and the simplest lines are drawn in the most important positions, so that Han has a coupe slip line and a powerful rear fender.
The rear changes are focused on the redesigned taillights and rear bumper, and from the visual point of view, the old model will be more square and tough, while the new model is more rounded and more affinity. The taillights are still left and right, but the internal structure has been changed to the Chinese knot style, in addition to more traditional Chinese characteristics, the recognition is also first-class.
Compared with the one-on-one rear bar design of the old model, the new model is obviously fashionable, whether it is the new bright black decorative strip or the more sporty lower guard, it can make people feel fresh.
The overall interior design has not changed much, the flat and stable style is in line with the design concept of ancient Chinese architecture, and the wrap-around layout also creates a unique sense of atmosphere and space, coupled with high-grade leather cover, simple luxury.
For the first time, the interior of Han DM-i has added the "age reduction" combination of golden scale orange and night purple carbon fiber, which makes the Han model have a wider audience. Let's not talk about the authenticity of the carbon fiber material, just talk about this luxurious lilac, which is definitely more durable and wear-resistant than the old piano paint panel.
Another interesting update point is that the new car provides a sports bucket chair that stimulates driving desire more than the previous high-performance version of the model, and the wings are wrapped in place, so that han's wide seat can also have good lateral support. The punching of the surface, the red hemming and the Chinese embroidery of the headrest all add to the sense of grade.
The rear seats also adopt the one-piece sports bucket chair shape, the seat is soft and hard, perhaps the seat filling is too thick, so that the rear legroom is not as abundant as the conventional medium and large cars.
Han DM-i model in the intelligence of the improvement may not be as obvious as the appearance, the new car is equipped with the whole car 12 ultrasonic radar + 5 millimeter wave radar + 4 surround view camera + 1 intelligent driving high perception camera + 1 Eps torque sensor + 1 DMS driver status monitoring camera including 24 sensing elements, adding high-speed road driving assistance, emergency lane keeping assistance, intelligent comity and other functions, to provide users with more intelligent driving assistance functions.
The core upgrade is that the new car adopts a new power unit, equipped with a DM-i hybrid system composed of a high-efficiency turbocharged 1.5Ti high-efficiency engine for Snap Cloud-Plug Hybrid, an EHS electric hybrid system, and a super hybrid special power blade battery. The engine adopts the Miller cycle plus high compression ratio design, the thermal efficiency reaches 40.12%, and the overall emphasis is more on low fuel consumption than high power.
Unlike the old DM models, the new model uses an E-CVT stepless transmission. The 121KM version adopts a single-motor front-drive layout, with a maximum power of 145 kW and a peak torque of 316 N·m. The DM-i model offers 18.3kW·h and 37.5kW·h capacity blade batteries, and the NEDC has a comprehensive operating condition of pure electric endurance of 121km and 242km, respectively.
There is also an improvement in charging, with a fast charge power of 40kW for the 121KM version, while the top model provides 80kW of safe boost fast charging. Perhaps everyone will think that even the 80kW charging power is still low, but what CAR brother wants to talk about is that the charging power of pure electric models and plug-in hybrid models are two concepts.
How fuel-efficient is the BYD Han DM-i model? Official data NEDC comprehensive working conditions of power loss fuel consumption as low as 4.2L / 100km, CAR brother also carried out practical tests, and did not pursue the limit off the air conditioning turtle speed, at least the high-speed road conditions are above the minimum speed limit in the lane.
The first half is a high-speed section, and the second half is a section of provincial highway + rural road, which can simulate a more realistic comprehensive car scene. Finally make 3.4L/100km of power loss fuel consumption, lower than the manufacturer data, as for this data is really difficult to do? At least the three people in the car have been spending time in laughter. Here CAR brother to a little pertinent power loss fuel consumption forecast: 4.8-6L/ 100km, depending on the proportion of high-power output.
The DM-i power system used in the Han DM-i model provides ev and HEV modes, HEV mode can be considered as "fool" automatic mode, when the battery level allows or low power output, HEV will default to EV drive. When the power is low or high power output is required, the engine will enter series or parallel mode, and the oil-electric hybrid will cooperate efficiently and achieve high efficiency and energy saving in the best working area.
As a plug-in hybrid model, it is crucial to use pure electric mode power "really", and you can safely hand over the blade battery and the EHS mixing system here. The urban expressway has traveled 20km, and the pure electric mileage of the table has been reduced by 22km, which translates to the pure electric efficiency of Han DM-i is about 91%, which is still quite real.
Regardless of the charging speed, energy-saving effect, car maintenance cost, and driving method, Han DM-i models have achieved by BYD's implementation of the "fast, provincial, quiet, smooth, green" new energy vehicle concept.
Comments:
Even in 2022, some consumers' impression of "independent brand" cars still stays at the level of low price and poor quality, and even feel that the owners of independent brand models are pitiful, but they turn a blind eye to their sweating in crowded cars. However, some independent brands are already strong enough to compare traditional joint venture brands, and even go abroad to enjoy a global reputation. In the first seven months of 2021, BYD's average bicycle price reached 151,800 yuan, surpassing the traditional veteran Volkswagen's 147,800 yuan.
On the other hand, in 2021, the BYD brand sold 740,000 vehicles throughout the year, an increase of 73.34% year-on-year, of which the sales of new energy vehicles reached 600,000 units, an increase of 218.30% year-on-year, ranking first in domestic new energy vehicle sales for 9 consecutive years. This is also the basis for BYD's recent announcement to discontinue fuel models, ALL IN new energy.
As the flagship sedan of THE BYD Dynasty series, BYD will naturally give the best technology to Han and provide the best products for everyone. Although Han DM-i is not perfect, it is not good enough in the rear space, charging interface, etc., but from the aspects of design, intelligence, energy saving, etc., it does have the hard-core product power of the flagship model and assumes the important responsibility of China's own brand upwards.
