Reports from car hoist circles
Recently, with the sharp rise in oil prices, more and more users have begun to flow to new energy, and BYD, which recently completely stopped production of fuel vehicles, is even more difficult to find in the terminal market. However, the BYD yuan PLUS model we tested today may be the model with the most abundant production capacity of BYD. According to relevant news, thanks to the commissioning of the Changzhou plant, Yuan PLUS currently completely enjoys the production capacity of the entire factory, so the terminal pick-up efficiency is also within one month.
As the first compact SUV of e-platform 3.0, BYD MetaPLUS integrates BYD's latest technical advantages. Since the release of the pre-sale on New Year's Day 2022, the order volume has exceeded 20,000 units (as of March 2022), and the sales volume in March has reached 10,017 units.
BYD's latest Dragon Face 3.0 family design language, placed on the meta PLUS, seems to have made a clear split from the previous meta family products. The chrome grille adopts the seal script font "Yuan", and blends well with the LED headlight groups on both sides, with a sporty front bumper design, making the whole vehicle look very BYD Dynasty family style. With the blessing of a strong design team, the overall appearance of the metaPLUS also reflects the level that BYD should have.
If the appearance is only a decent way to meet the aesthetic needs of the younger generation of users, then the interior is completely created for young users. The interior of the metaPLUS adopts the world's first intelligent cockpit built with the concept of sports and fitness, the dumbbell piece air conditioner air outlet, thrust electronic barrier, treadmill-type central armrest, string-type door panel decoration and other details of the exquisite design, the muscle streamlined center console extends to the door panel and other sports and fitness elements, closely following the current sports, healthy life concept.
The car adopts a unique three-frame multi-functional steering wheel, which looks not only full of avant-garde feeling, but also very comfortable to operate, with electronic gears, so that the driver and occupants have more comfortable handling.
Compared with the large suspension central control screen, the dashboard is a delicate and compact trapezoidal design, which is also a suspension layout and will not affect the driver's line of sight. Disc air conditioning outlet makes the car more sci-fi, and the two sides of the door, regardless of color matching or space design, also make the layout of the car more in line with the aesthetics of young consumers at present.
In addition, the design highlights at the door panels are also interesting. It integrates the design of the door handle into the sound speaker, the door handle and the sound speaker are natural, and also adds the atmosphere light design, especially when the atmosphere light is turned on at night, which will add a lot of points to the interior refinement. And the upward rotation of the unlock action is ergonomic and easy to operate.
At the same time, the string-type door panel decorations below can also be plucked, and there is a corresponding sound coming out. But it is not only a decorative piece, it can also play a role in fixing storage, in the 4 door sides are available, flexible materials are more convenient to place some relatively large objects, the malleability of the space has been better used. At the same time, this also makes the original plain door panel more energetic.
In terms of configuration, the new car is equipped with a 5-inch full LCD instrument, although the size is not large, but the display information is rich, and the key driving data can be clearly displayed. Our test drive model is equipped with a 12.8-inch central control screen (the top model is equipped with a 15.6-inch central control screen), which is matched by the DiLink 4.0 (4G) intelligent network system, which supports adaptive rotation.
Whether it is the reaction speed, or the UI design of the interactive interface, DiLink 4.0 can be regarded as a first-class level, for users, you can almost use this huge central control screen as a top-of-the-line Android tablet, basically the APP in the app store will be supported on the car machine.
In addition, the metaPLUS also has a 360 ° degree holographic transparent image system, one-click automatic parking to cover more car scenes, intelligent voice interaction system, full-scene virtual car key, keyless entry and one-click start, mobile phone wireless charging, VTOL mobile power station, PM2.5 green net system and other configurations, so that you can see the integration of young users' needs of the technology experience.
In particular, VTOL mobile power station technology, directly using the vehicle's electricity, provides 220V, 3.3KW power output, realizes field cooking, night lighting, open-air movies, refrigeration and heating outside the car, and can also charge electrical equipment such as laptops and cameras.
In the current outdoor camping activity fire environment, this is simply an outdoor artifact for campers, which can open up a rich and diverse outdoor camping life for young people. And it's also a way to maximize the vehicle's capabilities, making BYD Meta PLUS more than just a means of transportation for people.
In terms of power, the yuan PLUS series is equipped with a permanent magnet / synchronous front-mounted single motor, the maximum power is 150kW, the peak torque is 310N·m, and the zero hundred acceleration time is 7.3 seconds. Different from other brands' gameplay, bydir Yuan PLUS is the same power motor for all series, and the power experience brought by the entry model and the top model is basically the same, which is quite conscientious.
However, there are two endurance versions, CLTC comprehensive operating range (km) of 430km and 510km respectively, it should be noted that the CLTC standard will have a longer battery life compared to the WLTC and NEDC standard tests. It is worth mentioning that in addition to its good safety, the lithium iron phosphate blade battery can be recharged and discharged more than 3,000 times, and the driving range is more than 1.2 million kilometers.
In terms of driving experience, the starting stage is the same as most electric vehicles, very quiet and smooth. The innate characteristics of electric vehicles make the starting quiet and smoothness at low speeds far superior to those of fuel vehicles. However, it is worth mentioning that the kinetic energy recovery of the metaPLUS is divided into 2 gears, and the standard feedback mode is basically the same as the feeling of the fuel car. And even if you tune in to a larger feedback, you can adapt well.
In addition, another detail is that this meta PLUS is equipped with a comfortable parking function. In order to avoid the novice driver's sudden heavy braking, open the comfortable parking, after the computer calculation, so that the entire parking process becomes smooth, as if the old driver possessed.
In general, from the design details of the interior and exterior decorations, as well as the details of the driving aspects of the functional configuration, it is not difficult to see that BYD still spends a lot of effort on the metaPLUS. In the 150,000-level market, the metaPLUS will not only take more shares of the new energy market, but also have a major impact on the joint venture SUV market.
