Southern Network News (Reporter/Zhang Shuang) In the first quarter of 2022, BYD's cumulative retail sales of new energy vehicles were 282686 units, ranking first in the retail sales of new energy vehicles in the same period, of which BYD Han, as BYD's flagship model, won the champion of medium and large car sales with sales of 12359 units, an increase of 19.7% year-on-year, continuing the hot sales momentum. On April 10, BYD once again sent out the "Tough General", its Dynasty series flagship sedan Han family was newly listed, of which the Han EV series product matrix evolved again, and launched the Han EV Genesis Edition and the Han EV Qianshancui Limited Edition, and where was the new car upgraded?
Coincidentally, not long ago, BYD held a test drive of the Han EV series in Chongqing, in other words, the answer can be found in the amazing features of the Han EV Genesis Edition and the Han EV Qianshancui Limited Edition.
Luxury is bone, tradition is rhyme
As BYD's new generation of Longyan flagship coupe, HanEV Genesis Edition and Qianshan Cui Limited Edition continue the "Longyan aesthetics", while adding the totem spirit of Chinese culture and the charm of landscape chinese paintings, which makes people shine. The front part of the face, in the original Dragon Face element, incorporates more sporty elements, such as the addition of piano black front brackets and trim embellishments. The side of the body, depending on the model, the application of chrome material reduced in the position of the C-pillar, and the new design of the side skirt is uniformly adopted in all models, which achieves the visual effect of echoing the dragon claw mark design on the C-pillar. What is more ingenious is that the tail of the car will be the original square overall shape of the cut to simplify, through the front corresponding to the curved design to achieve a simple and flexible effect, and the tail lamp adopts a new through-through Chinese knot design, the Chinese tradition is integrated with modern technology, highlighting a unique Chinese romance.
"Elegance is never out of date" is the editor's first impression of seeing the HanEV Qianshan Cui limited edition model, on the mountain road in Chongqing, on both sides are lush trees, above is the vast blue sky and white clouds, and HanEV Qianshan Cui limited edition in it, cold emerald blue exclusive paint in the daylight refraction of a very low-key luxury of the deep sense, coupled with the unique sports kit, the overall performance charm is very strong.
Moving into the car, although the overall interior has not changed much, it is expensive to impress people in details. In addition to the long-known rotatable large-size central control screen, more solid wood and leather materials are added to the car and the details of diversified dragon elements are added, and the co-pilot also has an atmosphere light decorative panel, which can change the color according to the breathing and beating of the atmosphere lights in the car. The whole is neither as extravagant and dazzling as American luxury, nor as simple and avant-garde as European luxury, but exudes the wisdom and charm of "new Chinese home".
Open a new era of pure electric car driving control
The test drive route is from Tieshanping Forest Park to Wulong Fairy Mountain, and most of the highways and winding roads are on the way. The four-wheel drive version of the Han EV Genesis Edition of this test drive can not only easily live HLOD, but also refreshed my views on the comfort of pure electric vehicles.
First of all, the performance, Han EV Genesis edition four-wheel drive version of the front motor maximum power of 180kW, the maximum power of the rear motor 200kW, the system comprehensive maximum torque of up to 700 Nm, 3.9 seconds of zero hundred acceleration results, creating beyond the performance of many V10 engines, the throttle down the speed immediately up, the power is continuous, and surging surging and strong explosive, whether it is climbing a steep slope or detouring a winding mountain road, over the hair card U-shaped sharp bend, all of them are performed with ease.
In terms of endurance, the HanEV Genesis Edition is equipped with an 85.4kWh lithium iron phosphate blade battery, and in the two-wheel drive version, the CLTC has a maximum mileage of 715km, and in the four-wheel drive premium model, the mileage can reach up to 610km. With an ultra-low drag coefficient design of 0.233Cd and an IPP integrated braking system that can recover 10% of the braking energy compared to ordinary braking systems, energy loss can be effectively reduced. Therefore, even if the entire test drive section is 400+km, and the performance is tested back and forth in the closed section, the HanEV Genesis Edition not only does not need to be recharged throughout the whole process, but also after arriving at the destination, the remaining endurance is 200 kilometers, which is more than enough.
The focus is on comfort, the Han EV Genesis Edition model has made some adjustments in the details of the chassis, such as the material of the front and rear suspensions is replaced by aluminum, which also makes its upper limit of adjustment in handling a little higher. Specific to the actual riding experience, the chassis comfort of the HanEV Genesis Edition model has changed significantly compared with the old model, especially the filtering ability of the rear suspension, which has a perceptible change.
At the same time, in the test drive process, hanEV genesis version of the quiet aspect is particularly prominent, as an electric vehicle, there is no engine noise during the driving process, coupled with the use of a large number of sound insulation materials, isolated most of the wind noise and road noise, so it presents a very comfortable driving experience. In addition, it is equipped with HiFi-level custom High-treasure True Danna audio along the way, just like the feeling of listening to a concert on the spot, effectively alleviating driving fatigue.
Security "hard power" to the next level
For electric vehicles, the biggest hidden danger is undoubtedly battery safety. The BYD Han EV Genesis Edition is equipped with a patented blade battery, which has long written safety in the genes. The icing on the cake is that in the creation of technological security, BYD is not without disappointment. The DiPilot intelligent driver assistance system equipped with the BYDHan EV Genesis Edition is equipped with up to 24 sensing elements: among which the ACC-S&G stop-and-go full-speed adaptive cruise system, LKS active lane keeping system and other functions help drivers greatly save driving energy, alleviate driving fatigue, and improve driving safety. Its APA visual fusion full-scene automatic parking can completely free hands and realize fully automatic parking, making parking more convenient and fast.
At the same time, its active safety has also reached a new height, adding a W-HUD head-up display, which significantly improves driving safety, and with the blessing of DMS driver monitoring function, significantly reduces the probability of accidents caused by fatigue driving. It is worth mentioning that the Han EV series of this test drive will soon be added through OTAs: high-speed road driving assistance, emergency lane keeping assistance, smart comity and other functions, and the level of assisted driving will be greatly improved.
epilogue
In general, the Han EV Genesis Edition and the Qianshan Cui Limited Edition have been targeted and upgraded in many dimensions, such as the appearance in addition to the sense of science and technology that new energy models should have, but also taking into account the calm atmosphere that consumers love; the interior configuration has also been improved, and many of the functions that need to be installed have become standard, which is definitely the most popular among consumers. After a day of high-intensity test drives, the HanEV Genesis Edition left me with more of a disruptive experience. Whether it is the sense of high-grade or the technological configuration in the car, as well as the ultimate power experience, I have a new understanding of domestic electric vehicles.
And according to official information, as of 20:30 on the evening of April 10, the cumulative sales of the new Han family have reached 48,136, which shows the high popularity of the new car, and once it is listed, it will be sold directly. I have to say that after BYD's new energy models have gained a firm foothold in the market, they have gradually begun to make rapid progress in all directions, whether it is design, configuration or power, they can continue to surprise us.
