With the vigorous development of new energy models in recent years, BYD, which has been deeply engaged in the field of new energy for many years, can be described as having obtained a due harvest, especially after the DM-i super hybrid system was officially released in January last year, it did not take long for BYD's new energy models to begin to be in short supply, began to wait for cars for 3 months, after the mid-year production capacity increase once became 2 months, and then at the end of the year, when the Spring Festival approached, the booking even had to be Qingming Festival to pick up the car, enough to wait for 4 months!
Here are a few examples to illustrate:
In the state of battery loss, the combined fuel consumption of some DM-i super hybrid system models is as low as 3.8L/100km.
With the combination of oil and electricity, the comprehensive mileage of some models can even exceed 1200km.
The acceleration capacity of dm-i super hybrid models will be faster than that of the same class of pure fuel models, especially the acceleration comparison of low-speed urban road conditions is obvious.
Most importantly, in addition to having a driving experience close to that of a pure electric vehicle, the DM-i super hybrid model has no battery life anxiety and charging anxiety, and refueling can also be very fuel-efficient.
With the hot sales of BYD's new energy models, more and more models have begun to join the product line, and at the 2022 Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Auto Show that opened on May 28, a new BYD SUV model is likely to meet with us, which is the frigate 07 that will be equipped with the DM-i super hybrid system, which is also the first SUV model under Ocean Network.
In terms of body appearance and size, the appearance of the frigate 07 is 4820/1920/1750mm and the wheelbase is 2820mm. From the data point of view, the appearance length and width dimensions of the frigate 07 are slightly smaller than the BYD Tang new energy model, but the wheelbase size is consistent with the BYD Tang new energy model. Of course, from the positioning point of view, the positioning of the frigate 07 is likely to be slightly lower than the Tang new energy model to form a dislocation competition.
From the outside, the design of the frigate 07 restores the elements of THE BYD X-DREAM concept car, the grille design is very similar to the destroyer 05, simple, atmospheric and has a sense of technology, the headlights also use a new design, called the Xinghui Battleship LED headlights, the trim panel connecting the headlights uses a vertical pattern shape, and the style of the Marine series models is very compatible, and BYD's new logo is integrated with the trim panels.
On the side of the frigate 07 body, there are not too many too complex lines, continue to maintain a simple, stylish and scientific and technological style, with hidden door handles, the wheel design also adopts a semi-enclosed design, which can effectively reduce the wind resistance, while the decorative pattern on the D pillar is a visual focus, the rear part is rich in layering, and the taillight design is more similar to the new Han family model.
The interior part of the frigate 07 is only spy photos, the steering wheel uses the steering wheel of BYD Song for camouflage, but from the design style point of view, the interior of the frigate 07 and other BYD family models have not changed much, the control screen in the 15.6-inch DiLink system is a bright configuration, which will be equipped with a car networking system, OTA upgrade, Bluetooth, voice recognition control system, and it is likely to be equipped with 9 speakers as Tang New Energy models, and there is news that the number of speakers in the frigate 07 will even be as many as 12.
In terms of power, the frigate 07 is equipped with DM-i super hybrid system, the maximum power of the 1.5T engine is 102kW, the peak power of the front/rear motor is 145kW/150kW, and the battery capacity of the two DM-i super hybrid systems is 9.9kWh and 18.3kWh, respectively, and the corresponding WLC test range is 46km and 71km, respectively, while the loss of power and fuel consumption of the WLTC is only 5.8L per 100 km.
It is said that the frigate 07 is also likely to be equipped with a DM-p version of the model, the combined power of the front and rear motors can reach 295 kW, and the acceleration time of 0-100 km/h is expected to be about 4.7 seconds.
It can be said that the overall positioning of the frigate 07 may be more grounded than the Tang new energy model, the adjustment will be more inclined to comfortable, the seat layout is likely to choose the setting of the large 5 seats to form a more perfect dual-vehicle product line complementary, therefore, it is also reasonable to say that the product positioning of the frigate 07 is between the Song PLUS and the Tang new energy model.
Similarly, the price of frigate 07 may also be more surprising - there is news that the starting price of frigate 07 is expected to be no more than 210,000 yuan, while the starting price of the DM-p version is expected to be no more than 280,000 yuan.
So, what are the opponents of the frigate 07?
Changan Automobile - Changan UNI-K New Energy
Manufacturer guidance price 18.29-19.89 million yuan
In June 2021, Changan Automobile released the Blue Whale iDD hybrid system, and the Changan UNI-K new energy model is equipped with this hybrid system, positioning the mid-size SUV. From the power data, the maximum power of the 1.5T turbocharged engine of the Changan UNI-K new energy model is 122kW, the total power of the front motor is 85kW, the NEDC test pure electric mileage is 130km, the official 0-100km/h acceleration time is 8.1 seconds, and the minimum charge test fuel consumption is 5L per 100 km. In particular, pure electric mileage will be a big advantage.
Geely Auto-Hoshikoshi L Thor Hi · X oil-electric hybrid version
Manufacturer guidance price 17.17-18.37 million yuan
Hoshikoshi L Thor Hi · X hybrid version of the model is not long on the market, compact SUV, the size is slightly smaller than the frigate 07, one of its advantages is of course also fuel saving, a tank of oil can run 1300km is one of its highlights, converted to the comprehensive fuel consumption of only 4.3L/100km, and the official 0-100km/h acceleration time is only 7.9 seconds. Hoshikoshi L Thor Hi · The X Hybrid model is equipped with a 1.5T three-cylinder engine with a maximum power of 110 kW, but its thermal efficiency has reached a staggering 43.32%, and a fuel saving rate of 40%, and the maximum power of the former motor has reached 100 kW.
