The rise of Chinese auto brands in recent years has made them more and more courageous in the mid-to-high-end market. Although it can also be seen that many Chinese brands have come up with some extraordinary strength of high-end models, but in the market of more than 200,000, most of them can only be regarded as sales are not bad, to say that carrying the banner of the entire brand sales, sales to challenge joint ventures and luxury brands, few can do it.
Less does not mean no, for example BYD Khan is an exception. In the nearly two years since its launch in 2020, its average monthly sales have exceeded 10,000 units, which is also among the best in the C-Class. Not long ago, the new BYDHan family car was officially launched, in addition to the comprehensive upgrade from the inside out, it also brought the much-anticipated DM-i and the more powerful DM-p power. The addition of new power makes it have an extremely rich power choice, and the total of 9 configuration models in the whole series has also dazzled many people. So which configuration of the BYD Khan family is the most cost-effective? Here's a closer look.
Han DM-i, DM-p series
Recommended model: Han DM-i 121KM Premium
The HamM-i 121KM Premium is equipped with a plug-in hybrid system based on a 1.5T engine, in which the maximum power of the engine is 102kW and the maximum torque is 231Nm, the maximum power of the motor is 145kW, the maximum torque is 316Nm, and the acceleration of 0-100km/h is 7.9 seconds.
As the lowest model in the Han Hybrid series, the Han DM-i 121KM Premium is equipped with 9 airbags, lane departure warning, active braking, ACC adaptive cruise, 360-degree panoramic image, wireless charging of mobile phones, Bluetooth key, main seat ventilation and heating, panoramic sunroof, LED headlights, 19-inch wheels, 15.6-inch rotatable central control screen, 12.3-inch LCD instrument, 8 speakers.
Although it is the lowest model in the whole series, Han DM-i can't fault it from both power and configuration, which is almost the level of medium and high matching or even top matching in the same level, and the cost performance is very good.
Compared with the Han DM-i 121KM Premium, the Han DM-i 121KM Premium configuration level increases the heating and ventilation of the passenger seat, the memory of the main driver seat, the rearview mirror memory and the automatic rolldown function of reversing, while the seat adjustment function of the main and co-driver is more abundant, and the 12-speaker Tanner audio system is more abundant.
Most of the above new configurations are actually the icing on the cake, in addition to the 12-speaker Danna sound system, it should be known that the price of the "5G Danna Smart Music Cockpit" upgrade package on hanEV has reached 18,000 yuan, aside from several additional upgrades, this set of Danna audio is worth at least 10,000 yuan. So this Set of Danner Speakers Alone is already worth the ticket price.
Compared with the Han DM-i 121KM Premium Type, the han DM-i 121KM Premium Type is mainly due to the upgrade of the steering wheel and seat material to NAPPA leather, and the addition of interior mood lights, interior mirrors automatic anti-glare function and other configurations.
Because it is mainly aimed at the improvement of the luxury of the carriage, the improvement of functionality and comfort is not so obvious, so that its cost performance is not as prominent as the first two models.
The biggest improvement of the Han DM-i 242KM flagship model compared to the previous models is that the battery capacity has doubled, from 18.3kWh to 37.5kWh, while the pure electric cruising range has increased from 121km to 242km. In addition, the configuration level has also added parallel assist, fatigue driving reminder, reversing side warning system, automatic parking entry, and HUD digital head-up display.
From the perspective of endurance and configuration, the dm-i 242KM flagship upgrade is still quite obvious, but the price difference of more than 50,000 is not a small price difference for this price point, and the plug-in hybrid model is not so urgent for the demand for pure electric mileage, so its cost performance is not so prominent.
The Han DM-p is equipped with the same 1.5T engine as the DM-i, the difference is that the number of motors has increased by one, while the motor power has increased from 145kW to 360kW, the peak torque has reached a terrifying 675Nm, and the 0-100km/h acceleration takes only 3.7 seconds; the battery pack capacity is 37.5kWh, and the cruising range is 202km.
The DM-p 202KM 4WD flagship features variable suspension, steering wheel memory and heating, rear backrest power adjustability, rear seat heating and ventilation, rear multimedia control system, and interior aromatherapy device compared to the DM-i 242KM flagship.
Although compared to the DM-i 242KM flagship is 30,000 more expensive, the price difference is not small, but the supercar-level acceleration is still not a small temptation for those who pursue driving pleasure, coupled with the addition of at least 10,000 worth of configuration, the overall cost performance is still good.
Han EV series
Recommended model: HanEV Genesis Edition 715km Front-Drive Honorable Model
The Han EV Genesis Edition is equipped with a permanent magnet synchronous motor with a maximum power of 180kW, a maximum torque of 350 Nm, and an acceleration time of 0-100 km/h of 7.9 seconds. The battery pack has a capacity of 85.4 kWh and a cruising range of 715 km.
As the lowest model of the HanEV series, the overall configuration of the HanEV Genesis Edition 715km Front-Drive Honorable Model has increased the active grille, HUD head-up display, co-driver seat heating and ventilation, main driver seat memory, rearview mirror memory and reversing automatic roll-down function compared with the DM-i lowest DM-i 121KM Premium model, while the main and co-driver's seat adjustment function is more abundant, and the 12-speaker Tanner audio system.
The overall configuration of the Han EV Genesis Edition 715km front-drive honorable type is still relatively satisfactory, and the Han EV series is equipped with the same capacity battery, and the endurance of the front-drive version has reached 715km within 300,000 pure electric vehicle ceiling level, and there is no need to be forced to choose a high match for the sake of battery life, overall, the minimum configuration of the Han EV series is quite recommended.
Han EV Genesis Edition 715km Front-drive Flagship Model Compared with HanEV Genesis Edition 715km Front-Drive Honorable Model, the main improvement is that the ultrasonic radar has been increased from 8 to 12, the millimeter wave radar has been increased from 1 to 5, and the configuration level has been increased to parallel assist, fatigue driving reminder, reversing side warning system, automatic parking system, interior atmosphere lights, interior mirror auto-anti-glare function, 220V power supply in the car, and steering wheel and seat materials have been upgraded to leather.
The difference of 17,700 is not a small amount for this price point, but if you are more concerned about the active safety configuration, then the Han EV Genesis Edition 715km front-drive flagship is also a good choice.
Compared with the front-drive version of HanEV, the biggest change is that a rear motor is added, and the maximum power has been increased from 180kW to 380kW, the peak torque has reached 700Nm, and the acceleration time of 0-100km/h is 3.9 seconds. The battery pack also has a capacity of 85.4 kWh and a cruising range of 610 km.
Compared with the HanEV Genesis 715km front-drive flagship model, the HanEV Genesis Edition 610km four-wheel drive flagship model has added variable suspension, electric adjustment steering wheel and steering wheel memory functions at the configuration level, but the automatic parking and occupancy, the 220V power supply in the car, the automatic anti-glare function of the inner rearview mirror, and the ultrasonic radar have been reduced from 12 to 8, and the seat material has been changed from NAPPA leather to imitation leather.
In fact, the price of the HanEV Genesis Edition 610km four-wheel drive flagship is basically the same as the price of the HanEV Genesis Edition 715km front-drive flagship, and how to choose depends on whether you want the ultimate power or more comfort configuration. But if you have a good budget and don't want to do this multiple choice question, BYD also provides a perfect combination set for the HanEV Genesis Edition 610km four-wheel drive flagship model to choose from, including Brembo front four-piston brake calipers, automatic parking, steering wheel heating, automatic anti-glare rearview mirrors, NAPPA leather seats, carbon fiber interior trim panels, rear electric backrest adjustment, rear seat heating and ventilation, rear multimedia control system, and interior aromatherapy device, with an optional price of 20,000 yuan.
The overall configuration of the HanEV 610km 4WD Qianshancui Limited Edition is equivalent to the HanEV Genesis Edition 610km 4WD flagship model plus the Zhenxiang combination set, in addition to the addition of the exterior sports kit, ultrasonic radar from 8 to 12, the soft package in the car has been replaced by gray suede-like material, and there are also unique emerald paint, stone green calipers, blackened front and rear light groups and light green interior colors.
With the addition of more than 20,000 configurations, plus exclusive paint and exterior interior kits, the overall price-performance ratio is not too low. Just as the most expensive model in the whole series, and with the word "limited" in the name, it is destined to be only suitable for a small part of the population with sufficient budget and just like this color scheme.
