AS THE TOP NEW ENERGY BRAND SALES IN MARCH, BYD has now become the "bellwether" in the industry. BYD, which has a market share of 23.2%, has become the one with the highest attention among its own brands. In mid-April, BYD also released a number of new models of its Dynasty series "Han". Among them, the plug-in hybrid sedan includes the Han DM-i, which pays attention to economical fuel saving, and the Han DM-p, which focuses on acceleration performance. In addition, there are electric cars Han EV Genesis Edition and Han EV Qianshancui limited edition models, the price of the whole series ranges from 215,800-32.98 million yuan.
Nowadays, when people buy a car, in addition to performance, they also require the beauty of the model to be online. Therefore, Xiaobian first introduced the appearance of the new Han DM-i. In terms of size, the length of the new car has increased by 15mm compared with the DM version, the length, width and height are 4975mm*1910mm*1495mm, and the wheelbase is 2920mm. Such a size is definitely worthy of the medium and large car.
In the front part of the car, the front face of the new car still adopts the "Dragon Face" design, and the familiar "big mouth" grille is larger than the current DM, and it is also more atmospheric than the closed grille of Han EV. The split LED light group is complemented by bright color decoration embellishments, and the visual effect is more full.
The side of the body is slightly fine-tuned compared to the Han DM, and the two diagonal waist lines are supplemented by a new hidden door handle design, and the appearance of the vehicle lines is softer. The hub part adopts a multi-spoke design to add a little sporty atmosphere.
At the rear of the car, the tail light part has removed the previous chrome trim decoration, and the interior of the light group has also been changed to a Chinese knot design. With festive red, supplemented by the art word "Han" design below, it highlights the traditional cultural atmosphere and has a better meaning.
In the interior part, the center console uses purple carbon fiber trim panels, which play a role in scratch resistance and wear resistance compared to the previous black paint trim panels, and look more beautiful. Full LCD instrumentation, suspension central control screen and Han EV specifications are unified. On the operation display, the car and machine system are as comfortable as the current model, and the UI interface with a cleaner style is adopted, and the screen clarity is further improved. The new one-piece sports seat, the beauty makeup mirror, and the interior of a variety of material modifications all reflect the intention of its design.
In terms of battery life, Han DM-i has two versions of 121KM and 242KM, which support 40kW and 80kW fast charging power respectively. In terms of power, the two versions are equipped with permanent magnet synchronous motors of different powers, the 121KM version of the motor has a maximum power of 145 kW and a torque of 316N·m; the 242KM version of the motor has a maximum power of 160 kW and a torque of 325 N·m. The acceleration time of the new car from 100 kilometers has made a great breakthrough compared with the current Han DM, jumping from 7.9S to 4.7S.
In terms of riding experience, the overall performance of the new car is still good. At a speed of 120km/h, the experience in the back row is quite good. The comfort of the rear seats is obvious, the waist and legs are load-bearing in place, even when passing through the test belt with small potholes, the overall is still stable, and the chassis is clean and solid like a German car. Although it is a single-layer glass design, the NVH performs at 62 decibels, which is excellent in its peer competition.
In terms of driving experience, although the entry-level new car is equipped with a 1.5T plug-in hybrid engine, the experience when accelerating to 100 kilometers is comparable to 2.0T. And when accelerated to about 130KM, it can still maintain a sensitive response, not procrastinating, only some subtle engine sound. At low speeds, the difference in the vehicle's acceleration doesn't change much, and the feedback when tapping the accelerator is also strong.
Overall, the Han DM-i, as a new car that BYD has shifted from cost-effective to quality, is quite qualified. If you pursue cost-effectiveness, you can buy the 21.58W entry model, and if you want to pursue a higher quality ride experience, you can also buy other versions at a higher price. After all, the matter of buying a car is frugal and frugal.
