BYD seal, the absolute explosion of BYD's pure electric car series, is priced at 200,000 levels, and the topic attention sales are very strong. BYD E1, now one of BYD's cheapest pure electric vehicles, mini cars, starting at less than 60,000. The question is, what is the intention of listing two BYD models that are completely different from level to pricing to audience?
The intention is that BYD now has a new car called E2, which can be related to both Seal and E1. Moreover, this is most likely the most likely new car you can buy in the future, with the strongest and most beautiful interior texture, maybe not one.
Recently, several spy photos of BYD E2 have been circulating on the Internet. As shown in the picture, this is a small car, although not as small as the E1, but it seems that the E2 is about the same size as a dolphin. And from many details of the car body, the price of this car will definitely be lower than that of the dolphin, and the name E2 also means that the price of this car will be higher than that of E1.
The starting price of the E1 is 59,900, and the starting price of the dolphin is 116,800, and we guess that the starting price of the E2 should be around 70,000 yuan. At the same time, although we do not know whether the e2 is built on the same platform as the dolphin (this possibility is not excluded), considering that the size of the e2 is similar to the dolphin, the endurance of this car will probably be closer to that of the dolphin, that is, about 400-420 kilometers CLTC.
But the exterior endurance is not the highlight of this car, its highlight is the interior--- it almost moves the entire interior of the seal intact! Of course, the E2 interior is highly similar to the seal, only near the center console. The size of the entire center console, steering wheel, gear shift mechanism, large central screen and instrument panel (located a little higher than the seal) is highly similar to the seal. Of course, considering the positioning of the E2 itself, the design and materials of other parts such as its seats and door panels are more similar to dolphins.
But anyway, this is already the best set of interiors in pure electric vehicles at this price. Don't look at the interior in these spy pictures now looks a little ugly, this is just because this car is still in the test car stage, camouflage cloth blocks a lot of things, according to our previous understanding of BYD's people-friendly models, the mass production version of this car, the interior texture is definitely not bad.
To be honest, there aren't many competitors for the e2, although miniature pure electric vehicles like the Zerorun T03 are its most obvious rivals. But as you can see in the above figures, the size of the E2 is significantly larger than its competitors at the same price, and the pure electric car of similar size is generally priced at 100,000. So if the E2 can really be sold at a starting price of about 70,000, the cost performance will absolutely explode.
Not to mention the interior of the E2. This set of interior is not only invincible in the pure electric car market within 100,000, even if it is placed in the level of 100,000-130,000, there are very few competitors who can compete. And even in the pricing range of about 130,000, the battery life of E2 about 400-420 is not bad, and the market is stronger within 100,000. Therefore, from the perspective of hard product strength, the actual cost performance of E2 is extremely high.
Of course, you may wonder, with such a cheap car, the rear suspension will not be non-independent? Wouldn't NVH be too good? It's almost inevitable. But in the face of absolute product power, these are actually nothing. The crowd that E2 faces is actually very clear: the first commuter car of the average working family, or the ride-hailing driver bought to run the operation. A car like the E2, with a very simple mechanical structure and a very low failure rate, coupled with the inherent low maintenance costs of pure electric vehicles, this car is almost a good seedling for online ride-hailing and ordinary family commuter cars.
Yes, although it has an almost full seal interior, this is after all a civilian car, a tool car. It has nothing "pressing" or an advanced intelligent interaction system. But often it is this kind of car that sells better. For the broad masses of people, it meets the needs of people "having a car", as a pure electric vehicle, it provides not bad endurance and low cost of use. Shouldn't a good tool family car be like this?
