On the occasion of the listing of BYD seals, a spy photo of a suspected BYD small pure electric vehicle seagull was exposed online. Like the dolphins and seals launched before, the seagull is also based on the e-platform 3.0, but it is smaller, has no skylight, four doors and five seats, and the price may start from 60,000 yuan.
Whether it is the Ocean series or the Dynasty series of models, BYD hopes to use DM-i and blade batteries to walk on these two legs, it turns out that the effect is really good, coupled with the launch of BYD's new car is fast-paced, selective, now almost can be Geely, Changan pressed on the ground to rub, can be said to be the last to catch up.
In addition to the technical advantages, BYD has undoubtedly put a lot of effort into the marine series of products, such as the mid-size car SEAL, which adopts a design that is more in line with the aesthetics of young people in the appearance, although it is not amazing, but it is obviously more beautiful than the fuel vehicle. Another prominent point is that Seal adopts the CTB battery body integration architecture, which improves chassis space and battery safety, but the potential maintenance cost is also higher.
The pre-price of 21.28-28.98 million yuan, seals want to compete with Tesla Model 3, there are indeed advantages, but in terms of intelligent configuration, seals are a bit shabby. Although there are also safety features such as passive pedestrian protection system, parallel line assist, lane departure warning, lane keeping, and active braking, they are obviously not within the scope of official attention, and like the widely criticized car machine system, BYD's intelligent experience is not optimistic.
In fact, although Tesla is the integrator of electric vehicles, it has also slackened in the past two years in terms of intelligence, and the self-research level of domestic new forces has caught up with Tesla. For example, Xiaopeng Motors, He Xiaopeng confidently said on the first quarter earnings call that some of the experiences of Xiaopeng NGP have surpassed Tesla FSD. This is not alarmist, but Xiaopeng showed strong technical strength when it was listed in P5 last year.
As we all know, the Xiaopeng P5 is the world's first mass production model equipped with lidar, and its intelligent attributes should not be underestimated. In terms of design, P5 has a trendy personality and is highly recognizable. Equipped with XPILOT3.5 intelligent driving assistance system, equipped with 32 sensors and 1 set of high-precision positioning units, not only can adapt to most of the intelligent driving scenarios of the highway, but also has a breakthrough in the city NGP, in the roundabout traffic, traffic light intersection traffic, left transition lane, avoid pedestrians and other complex common urban scenes, Xiaopeng P5 also has a strong performance, and by the first half of next year, XPILOT 3.5 will be upgraded to XPILOT 4.0, Xiaopeng will also achieve from high speed, The whole scene from the city to the parking lot.
At present, the price of Xiaopeng P5 is 177,900-249,900 yuan, compared with the difference of nearly 40,000 yuan for seals, and the choice is also very large. BYD seals want to reach the level of intelligence of Xiaopeng P5, which cannot be completed in one or two years.
