Reports from The GreatAuto
The automotive industry, like the entertainment industry, never seems to lack explosive points. For example, not long ago, a news from BYD detonated the car circle, stopped the production of pure fuel models, and fully entered the new energy.
Consumers who don't pay much attention to the auto market are probably not sensitive to this news, but if I say, it's like a popular star in the entertainment industry suddenly announcing his retirement from the entertainment industry, you will be surprised.
In fact, BYD can be regarded as the first traditional car company to fully enter new energy, which shows that the new cars launched by BYD since then are either hybrid or pure electricity.
At a time when pure fuel vehicles still occupy the mainstream market, this is undoubtedly a heavy news for the automotive industry. For consumers, from now on, the new BYD car you can buy cannot be a pure fuel vehicle.
The reason why BYD dares to do this, it is certainly not possible without a little confidence.
As a leader in the domestic new energy market, BYD has long been emerging in the field of new energy technology. Whether it is BYD's new energy commercial vehicles exported overseas, or the development and design of new energy vehicles for other overseas car companies, it can be seen that BYD has been recognized by consumers around the world.
In China, BYD's technology accumulation in the field of new energy has not only been transformed into real sales, but also its stock price has soared, becoming one of the stocks with the largest increase in the A-share market in the past one or two years, and buffett still holds BYD stocks, it seems that the old man's vision is still so "poisonous".
However, I am curious about what kind of level BYD's car is now, after all, BYD Automobile, which started from F3, has made obvious progress in the development process of more than 20 years.
Taking advantage of this test drive of BYD Ocean Network's first plug-in and hybrid model destroyer 05, I will give you a good chat.
Destroyer 05, BYD's next hit?
Before talking about the test drive experience, we may wish to talk about the origin of the destroyer 05 and the market prospects, after all, this car is the first plug-in model of BYD Ocean Network, and it is also the first model of the warship series, which is of extraordinary significance to Ocean Network.
At present, the first model of BYD Ocean Network, Dolphin, has been on the market for some time, and its market response is quite good. Take the sales volume in March, BYD Dolphin sold 10,501 vehicles, and the monthly sales have exceeded 10,000 consecutively, and the cumulative sales have exceeded 50,000.
More importantly, bydir Dolphin has become the highest-selling model in the hatchback market, even if the market's old cannon Fit, Polo, Zhixuan, Golf, are only inferior.
Dolphin has become a hot model of BYD Ocean Network, and can the destroyer 05, the first model of the warship series, become another hit of BYD Ocean Network?
Destroyer 05 positions an A+ class sedan, priced at 119,800-155,800 yuan, which shows that its target group is actually the mainstream automobile consumer population. After all, the 100,000-150,000 market is still dominant in the current automotive market.
In this segment, models that sell well often capture consumer demands, but these are mostly joint venture cars, such as Langyi, Xuanyi, Corolla and so on. As a domestic car, the destroyer 05 focuses on this market segment, and its products must meet the needs of users.
But we need to understand, what are the needs of these users?
This kind of consumer buys a car is nothing more than expecting a lot of space, saving money, and safety, so the biggest advantage of the destroyer 05 is this. The destroyer 05 uses BYD DM-i supermix technology and blade batteries in terms of batteries.
I believe that everyone is already quite familiar with DM-i and blade batteries.
The biggest advantage of the DM-i supermix system is fuel saving, taking the destroyer 05 as an example, its comprehensive fuel consumption of 100 kilometers is only 3.8L even in the feed state. That is to say, although the destroyer 05 is a plug-in hybrid model, it can also be driven as a fuel truck for users who are not easy to charge, and it is also particularly fuel-efficient.
Destroyer 05 offers two versions of pure electric range, one for 55 km and one for 120 km. If charging is inconvenient, consumers can buy the 55 km version; if charging is convenient, it is recommended that consumers buy the 120 km version, after all, when the pure tram is used after full charge, it can save more money.
As for the blade battery, its safety is beyond doubt. In the current field of power batteries, BYD blade batteries can be said to be the most secure, after all, it can easily pass the needle prick test is enough to prove that its safety is extremely high.
In terms of space, the destroyer 05 positions the A+ class sedan, with a length, width and height of 4780/1837/1495mm, and a wheelbase of 2718mm. The space in the rear row is excellent, not only the rear floor is almost completely flat, but also the legroom has a lot of margin.
Therefore, fuel saving (saving money), safety, and large space are the biggest needs of consumers in 100,000-150,000 market segments.
However, the destroyer 05 not only satisfies these three major demands, but also is far higher than the joint venture model of the same class in terms of exterior design, interior materials and configuration.
Take the standard configuration of the destroyer 05, it is equipped with a DiLink intelligent voice interaction system, a 12.8-inch 8-core adaptive rotary suspension Pad, a rear exhaust air outlet, a keyless entry and one-button start system, a TPMS direct tire pressure monitoring system, automatic air conditioning and other super 17 configurations.
In addition, the destroyer 05 also has a VTOL 220V power output function, allowing users to temporarily use as a "large power supply" to power the electrical appliances when camping in the field, bringing more diversified use scenarios to users.
Not only that, the destroyer 05 also has remote control driving, adaptive rotation suspension Pad, real-time remote control, mobile phone NFC, vehicle OTA upgrade and other intelligent configurations that are rare or even absent in other models of the same level.
In terms of design, the destroyer 05 adopts a new marine aesthetic design, and the overall shape is young and stylish. The interior is also more sporty and young, which also makes it in line with the aesthetics of young consumers today.
Ask which joint venture car of the same level can be compared!
From the current proportion of BYD hybrid models, in the first quarter of this year, BYD sold more than 280,000 vehicles, of which hybrid models accounted for 49%, and BYD's current main hybrid is DM-i.
It can be seen that the DM-i model can be described as quite hot, which can actually be seen from the phenomenon that a car is difficult to find at the market level.
As a model equipped with DM-i supermix system + blade battery, but also has a reasonable pricing, the destroyer 05 becomes BYD's next "blockbuster", which is almost a sure thing.
After meeting the needs of users, is it easy to open?
I believe that many people have experienced hybrid models, and the difference between driving and pure fuel vehicles can be described as quite large.
The most obvious difference is that the quietness of the hybrid is better, especially at the start, without the intervention of the engine, so that the texture of this car is much stronger than that of pure fuel vehicles.
In addition, the throttle pedal of hybrid models is more "heeled", that is, "as much as you step on, as much power comes". Destroyer 05 also has such advantages.
Even in the case of rapid acceleration and overtaking in the middle, the driver only needs to press the accelerator pedal deeply, and the vehicle can speed up without thinking. At this time, the engine and the motor work together to drive the vehicle to achieve more torque in order to quickly achieve overtaking.
At the same time, it is almost difficult for you to perceive the sound of the engine, and only through the energy display of the central control screen can you glimpse the state of the engine at this time.
It can be said that this is a major advantage of the DM-i supermix system of BYD destroyer 05 compared to many other hybrid systems. This is not only because the sound insulation and noise reduction of the overall body is very good, but also because the engine itself has excellent silent noise reduction processing.
It is worth mentioning that this Snap Cloud-Plug Hybrid 1.5L high-efficiency engine brings together many advanced technologies, such as Atkinson cycle, EGR cooling and other technologies. This results in an ultra-high compression ratio of 15.5:1, which in turn results in a thermal efficiency of 43.04% of the world's highest mass production, resulting in ultra-low fuel consumption.
While taking into account fuel consumption, this hybrid system also brings excellent power performance to the Destroyer 05, and its zero hundred acceleration can be as fast as 7.3 seconds, far exceeding the competitors in the same class. After all, with the combined power of the engine and the electric motor, the maximum combined power of the hybrid system can reach 173 kW.
However, in this test drive, the biggest surprise to me was that the destroyer 05 was extremely smooth to drive.
Because the DM-i supermix system adopts a single-gear drive mode, at the same time, although it also has EV pure electricity, HEV series, HEV parallel, engine direct drive 4 driving modes, but it is based on electric drive, efficient engine charging, timely auxiliary drive, full working conditions super high efficiency and other characteristics, so that the overall smoothness is better than other hybrid systems of the same level.
Therefore, whether at the moment of engine intervention, or at the time of sudden acceleration or sudden deceleration, it is difficult for the driver to perceive the switching of hybrid mode. You know, this is difficult to do on many other brands of hybrid models.
The intuitive feeling brought by smoothness must be the quality of driving. Of course, the driving quality is not only in the overall smoothness, but also in the suspension, steering and many other aspects.
On the whole, the suspension of the destroyer 05 is more comfortable, and the small vibration of the road surface can be well filtered, and the positioning of its home car is enough to meet the comfort of the user's daily driving.
In terms of handling, the direction of the destroyer 05 is more accurate, but the overall steering feel is light, so the calibration cannot bring too much driving desire to the driver, but this is indeed in line with the positioning of the destroyer 05 car. After all, family cars are easy to drive, and that's the key.
Fortunately, when changing lanes at high speed or crossing corners quickly, the support of the destroyer 05 chassis is good, the roll amplitude of the overall body will not be too large, and the body attitude can be quickly returned to the right, which will not bring people a feeling of lack of confidence.
Overall, the Destroyer 05 has the advantages of ease, quietness, smoothness, and comfort, and it must be the most important place for consumers who are ready to buy it!
From the actual driving experience, this hybrid system is undoubtedly stronger than many hybrid systems of the same level in terms of power reserve, energy saving and fuel saving or driving quality. Of course, compared with the same level of fuel vehicles, its advantages are more obvious.
Write at the end
As a mainstream market car, the destroyer 05 relies on the DM-i hybrid system, which can indeed save users a lot of fuel money in use. The size of the A+ class also meets the needs of such users for large space.
However, this is not all that destroyer 05 brings, because it wants to bring users a comprehensive driving experience beyond the same level, so whether in terms of design, configuration, intelligence, safety, etc., destroyer 05 is proud of the existence of the same class. It can be said that the destroyer 05 can be called the real "hexagonal warrior" of the family car market.
It is worth noting that the destroyer 05 can be regarded as a "brother" model of the Qin PLUS DM-i, which is bound to bring difficulties in choice for users.
In fact, the two cars have many similarities, and they can play in terms of product strength. However, after comparing the two cars, you will find that the destroyer 05 is younger and has a higher configuration than the Qin PLUS DM-i. What's more, the destroyer 05 also added a new battery preheating, so that the battery can maintain a normal operating temperature in low temperature weather.
It can be seen that the destroyer 05 is actually more recommended.
