In the domestic auto market, traditional car companies such as BYD, Changan and Geely have laid out early in the new energy track, and most of the car companies' models have achieved good sales in the past two years. Among them, the corvette 07 is a plug-in hybrid version of BYD's mid-size SUV, and the price guidance range of the 6 models on sale is 202,800 yuan to 289,800 yuan.
In terms of the front face,Corvette 07 irregular mesh inside is filled with a large number of horizontal chrome strips,The design idea is similar to BYD destroyer05,The narrow headlights are equipped with LED light source as standard,Conventional functions are given,But the entry version does not provide adaptive high and low beams,The configuration of the entry version in the same price range is not high。 The front lip is decorated with a unique trim plate to add a sense of heaviness to the front end.
The body size of the Corvette 07 is 4820/1920/1750mm, and the wheelbase is 2820mm, which is in the upper middle level among mid-size SUVs. The standard rear privacy glass of the whole series can bring passengers a comfortable and private riding experience, and the heating and electric adjustment of the exterior mirrors are not absent. It is worth mentioning that the three bars of the D-pillar of the car not only play a decorative role, but also display the charging status and remaining power, the vehicle information display is more intuitive, the 19/20-inch petal wheels are beautifully shaped, and the large tires are conducive to the driver's control.
Compared with the front face, the tail shape of the corvette 07 is full, there are not many bright spots at all, and the hollow tail can optimize aerodynamics, which is conducive to driving stability at high speeds. The electric rear tailgate is standard for all models, which is the performance of this price point, and the fly in the ointment is that the inductive rear tailgate is not applied to the car.
In terms of interior, the corvette 07 is made of solid materials, and the elbow touchable area is spliced together with various materials such as soft leather and suede, which feels better. The design of the door handle is also very creative, and a similar design concept is also adopted on the follow-up Yuan PLUS, but the operation is not as smooth as the conventional door handle. The 15.6-inch central control screen is standard for the whole system, with built-in DiLink intelligent network connection system, UI interface is very advanced, with intelligent voice function, wake up "Xiaodi" through voice, you can get the corresponding information, such as turning on the air conditioner, music and sunroof, etc., which is a good way to liberate your hands.
In addition, the reversing image of the corvette 07 is also very clear, and the 360 ° panoramic image and transparent image are also given on the car, which is still very practical for novice drivers, and the driving safety is greatly improved. In addition to the entry-level version, the rest of the variants also have adaptive cruise control, full-speed adaptive cruise control, and Level 2 assisted driving, which not only reduces fuel consumption when turning on the cruise system during long-distance driving, but also relieves driver fatigue and improves the driving experience.
Corvette 07 all seats are covered with imitation leather, and the seat grade is not high in the same price range, and the front row adopts the integrated seats that consumers love, with electric adjustment function, which is very high-end in use. Although the starting price of the car has reached 200,000 yuan, comfort functions such as front seat heating and ventilation are not given to the entry-level version, and the entry-level version is not high-grade. As a large five-seater SUV, even if it is a user with a height of 180cm, there is still a fist or two fingers of activity space at the head of the front row, with a good sense of space, the rear seat cushion size is longer, the ground is flat, the design is very humane, the backrest is inclined at a certain angle, even if it is fully loaded, the comfort of long-distance travel is also good.
In terms of power, the corvette 07 is equipped with a 1.5T plug-in hybrid engine + electric motor combination, matched with an E-CVT continuously variable transmission, of which the maximum output of the engine is 102kW, the total power of a single motor is 145kW, and the maximum output of the top version of the dual motor is 295kW, and the book parameters are considerable.
Through the test drive of the corvette 07 2023 DM-i 100KM flagship model, I think the driving experience of the car is still worth affirming, with strong power and fast speed, even in the case of overtaking, compared to traditional oil vehicles, it is easy to drive, not dragging at all, the power is always on the pedal, the center of gravity of the car is very stable, and it can have good support even at high-speed ramps. Whether it is the start or the second half of the race, there is plenty of speed, the handling is easy to use, the steering wheel has a grip, the sensitivity experience of the brake system is also good, and the tires also bring a good grip.
Summary: Corvette 07 as a plug-in hybrid car with a starting price of more than 200,000 yuan, the low-profile version of the WLTC pure electric range is only 82km, the performance is unsatisfactory, and the 170km pure electric range of the medium and high-end version basically reaches the level of this price. In addition, the configuration of the entry-level version of the car is also very general, so if you are more interested in this car, it is recommended to choose a model above the middle and high configuration versions.
