As we all know, among many independent brands, BYD has always been a relatively "alternative" existence, although in the early days, like other brands, BYD Automobile also relied on imitation and reference when it first started, but in recent years it has been specializing in the field of new energy, accumulated a lot of technical experience, and has become a domestically recognized leader in the new energy vehicle market. Through the latest car sales data, it can be seen that BYD Song won the SUV list in May with a result of 31977 vehicles, the yuan PLUS also had 11500 vehicles in the seventh place, while BYD Han and Qin won 23934 and 20753 vehicles respectively, ranking third and fifth in the list of cars, which shows the high popularity of BYD today. At the recent 2022 Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Auto Show, BYD has another new car unveiled, that is, BYD Seals! This model has become the "focus" as soon as it debuted, even the gears are crystals, and the first CTB technology, 3.8s broke the hundred.
BYD Seal is the second model of THE BYD Ocean series after Dolphin, the whole car e platform 3.0 built, positioning medium-sized sedan, pre-sale price of 21.28-28.98 million yuan. Some people may ask whether there will be any competition between BYD Seals and their own BYD Han, there is no need to worry about this, because the styles of the two cars are completely different, and it is not difficult to see from the appearance that BYD Seals adopts a new "marine aesthetics" design, which has no similarities with the previous Dynasty series models, and its overall style is more sci-fi and bold. The front face of this car adopts a closed grille design, the ripple bellows of the waves are extremely eye-catching after lighting, the body side lines are smoothly stretched, and the large slipback shape creates a strong coupe style, while the through-line water drop taillight of the rear part of the sea and sky line adopts a fine dot matrix light source design, with the upturned tail wing and the bottom diffuser structure, which further enhances the overall sports atmosphere. If nothing else, this car will have a more repeat rate on the road than many supercars.
In the interior part, SEAL continues the bydding BYD's high-end models of technology and luxury, the "wave chasing" instrument panel has a distinct level, the steering wheel shape is like a "genie" that jumps from the sea, the dashboard trim panel, the sub-instrument panel and the steering wheel are decorated by the laser laser engraving process, through the differences in color, form, length and width, in different intersections and combinations, creating a wonderful feeling of space interlacing. In addition, this car is equipped with a 10.25-inch full LCD dashboard and a 15.6-inch adaptive rotating Pad as standard, which is not surprising, and the most eye-catching thing is the crystal gear, the only model that can give the crystal gear at this price is the seal, the small and exquisite shape plus the dazzling material, holding it in the hand is like a craft, the seat also adopts the exquisite process of diamond-shaped quilting and double-seam thread, and the grade of the entire interior is not inferior even if it is compared with four or five hundred thousand luxury cars.
Of course, BYD Seal is definitely not a "vain" model, it also has a very strong technical level, the biggest highlight of this car is mainly the "four first hitch", that is, the first battery body integration technology (CTB), the first ride iTAC intelligent torque control technology, the first ride rear drive / four-drive force architecture, the first ride front double wishbond, the rear five linkage suspension, the most interesting of which is CTB technology. In the past, battery packs were composed of battery cells, and then the modules formed a battery pack, and the utilization rate of the internal space of the battery was very low, and the volume specific energy density could not meet the needs of users.
In recent years, CTP (Cell to Pack) technology has developed rapidly, and has been mass-produced on some models, and the battery pack is directly composed of batteries, which is conducive to improving the utilization rate of battery internal space and the volume ratio energy density. The CTB (Cell to Body) technology is based on CTP, the body and battery system are highly integrated, from the CTP battery sandwich structure, evolved into the CTB vehicle sandwich structure, so that not only can reduce the height of the body, but also improve the torsional stiffness of the body, for the vehicle handling limit, vehicle comfort and NVH performance are greatly improved.
Returning to the vehicle itself, BYD SEAL launched a total of four models this time, two of which the standard endurance rear-drive version is equipped with a 150kW motor, matching a battery with a capacity of 61.4kWh, clTC working range of 550km, and the official 0-100km/h acceleration time of 7.5 seconds. The long-endurance rear-drive version is equipped with a 230kW electric motor, which matches a battery with a capacity of 82.5kWh, a CLTC operating range of 700km, and an official 0-100km/h acceleration time of 5.9 seconds. The four-wheel drive performance version is equipped with two motors front and rear, the total power of the electric motor is 390kW, the battery capacity is also 82.5kWh, the CLTC working range is 650km, and the official 0-100km/h acceleration time is only 3.8 seconds. It can be seen that BYD seals for different groups of people to provide different programs for consumers to choose, if only the daily city commuting, then the standard endurance version is enough to meet the demand, for users who often travel long distances, the 700km long-endurance version is the best choice, and if you are very concerned about the performance of the vehicle, then the four-wheel drive performance version has both power and mileage is not short, and it must be able to meet the requirements.
In general, new energy electric vehicles are the general trend of future development, with the current rising price of gasoline, more and more consumers have begun to consider new energy electric vehicles with lower car costs, and in this field BYD has taken the lead, fully equipped with the strength to compete with foreign brands such as Tesla. BYD Seal has excellent performance in terms of exterior interior design, overall workmanship materials, endurance, performance, etc., and I believe that after the future listing, it will also be the same as Song, Yuan, Han, Qin and other series of models, becoming the focus of consumer attention! Just debuted into the "focus", even the gear is crystal, the first ctB technology, 3.8s to break the hundred.
