In today's new energy vehicles are more and more valued, many young consumers have also positioned their first car purchase target in the field of new energy. Because of this, more and more manufacturers are more inclined to the style of youth, fashion and sports in the design of new energy vehicles. BYD Yuan PLUS is such a work.
After the official listing, yuan PLUS has obtained sales of tens of thousands of units in a single month, and has also fully proved the status of this product in the minds of consumers with the sales volume of the market. Auto also received an invitation from BYD manufacturers at the first time and went to Guangdong to conduct an in-depth test drive of the yuan PLUS model.
Among the automobile manufacturers, BYD is the first car company in the world to completely stop the production of traditional fuel vehicles, and will make full efforts in the field of new energy in the future. It has its own strong research and development capabilities in the field of batteries, through continuous accumulation, accurate grasp of the market, as well as continuous upgrading of design and process, the products launched have also won the favor of consumers.
The MetaPLUS is a model positioned in the A-class SUV, and it is also the first tide-running SUV model of the e-platform 3.0, so a lot of thought has been spent on the design.
Led by BYD's Global Styling Director Wolfgang Egger, the metaplus adopts the Dragon Face 3.0 family design language to outline a straight, robust athletic style through sharp lines.
MetaPLUS adopts the Dragon Face 3.0 family design language in the body design, with electrification and a futuristic technology design, making the recognition of the whole vehicle very high. It is also more suitable for young, fashionable and sports-loving consumers.
As a well-known lamp factory in its own brand, in addition to the design of the headlights on the front face, the integrated multi-color injection molding process of the penetrating taillights are unfolded layer by layer like flying feathers when turned on, and the minimum luminous surface width is only 5mm. The ultra-narrow border design, in addition to expressing the oriental artistic conception of Longyan aesthetics, also highlights the extremely exquisite technology and craft design.
From the rear of the side, you can more clearly appreciate the essence of the metaPLUS design, the Wyvern waistline, the integrated taillights and the sporty wheel and tail design are all indicative of the car's sporty, fashion and technological genes.
In terms of body details, the metaPLUS uses a number of design elements that echo each other. Such as the wing feather dragon crystal LED combination headlights on the front face, and the fly feather glimpse through LED taillights at the rear of the car. And byd DESIGN, which will show confidence, is clearly marked on the side of the body.
With a 2720mm wheelbase, the metaPLUS uses a standard five-seat design, so there is plenty of space in the trunk to meet the needs of the average family. As an SUV model that focuses on sports fashion, the car is also designed to take into account the needs of the general family to temporarily use the vehicle as a resting place when traveling. The rear seats can be completely flattened, and the rear seat headrests can be flipped over, making the interior more comfortable when resting.
Considering the driving pleasure and comfort of the vehicle, the metaPLUS uses the front McPherson independent suspension and the rear suspension using a multi-link independent suspension system. Judging from the feeling of the test drive, you can clearly feel the joy of driving, and the suspension system, especially when cornering at high speed, has a good support performance. In order to take into account the passability of complex road conditions, the overall adjustment is biased towards a tough style, so there will be a certain loss in the comfort of the ride.
The interior of the metaPLUS is led by BYD's global interior design director Mikal Paganetti, and the overall style is based on the theme of the hormone-burst gym (GYM), the styling design is trendy and avant-garde, and the positioning of new energy models is very suitable. It also strongly echoes the car's five body colors (Adventure Green, Parkour Red, Climbing Grey, Ski White, Surf Blue).
The metaPLUS's central control screen provides a 12.8-inch (510KM flagship PLUS provides a 15.6-inch) narrow bezel adaptive rotation suspension Pad, which can be operated through common entertainment systems as well as vehicle settings. This system uses BYD OS automotive system independently developed by BYD. In addition to more efficient control of the vehicle, it also has a very fast response to supported applications, and because it operates independently of the vehicle's safety control system, the corresponding commands can be executed faster and more efficiently.
In addition to the color screen of the central control and the overall color matching above the interior, in the design of the gear handle area, the meta PLUS seems to create a design element that makes people more bloody. When looking at the interior, I have forgotten whether it is in the car or in the cockpit of the aircraft. The electronic thrust gear handle makes it easy to have the illusion, coupled with the linear performance output of the motor, you can feel the strong power performance of the car.
In the design of the door panel space, the metaPLUS is full of musical elements, whether it is a grip-type door handle or a note-style armrest, as well as a three-string door panel decoration.
The air conditioner outlet in the rear row is also the same as the air outlet in the front row, which adopts a dumbbell design, and the black and red rollers control the air volume of the air outlet. In order to facilitate the use of USB powered devices by rear passengers, two USB power supply interfaces are also provided.
As an SUV model positioned in sports fashion, the seat of the metaPLUS is manufactured by the one-piece molding process, and the three-color matching seat has a more racing seat style, which has a good performance in wrapping and supporting.
The entire power system of BYD Yuan PLUS is independently developed by BYD, and the motor uses 150kW (horsepower 204 hp) peak power, 310N·m peak torque and 2.0T engine. The car's power assembly is highly integrated, making the power controller more powerful, and the reliability of the system has been further improved, and the efficiency conversion of up to 97.5% can be achieved.
The energy storage part uses BYD's proud blade battery module, which has more than 3,000 cycles and can achieve a driving range of more than 1.2 million kilometers. Through the optimized design of the power system, the 100-kilometer acceleration of the metaPLUS is about 7.3S, and it has an excellent vehicle mute effect. Let the driver and occupants enjoy the tranquil atmosphere in the car.
In terms of technology configuration, since the body provides 4 surround view cameras and 12 ultrasonic radars, it can accurately identify parking spaces and detect obstacles around the vehicle, and realize panoramic automatic parking, which is convenient and reliable.
On the whole, as a fashionable, sporty and high-tech model, the yuan PLUS is worthy of the attention of car friends, and more importantly, the price of the car after subsidies is 13.78-16.58 million yuan, and BYD has established a separate production plant for the yuan PLUS, and the time from booking to picking up the car can basically be guaranteed in about a month.
