The new model of the BYD Ocean brand, the "Hiace 07 EV", has been launched, and the "rave reviews" are really surprising, this car does not bring surprises, it is just that the price is lower than that of the Denza N7. The vehicle is built with the e-platform 3.0 architecture, providing rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive options, and the power battery is still lithium iron phosphate, while other models with BYD's lithium iron phosphate battery do not meet the 800V high-voltage charging standard, but this car has reached the 800V level, but the final peak charging power is 240kW.
At present, among the series of domestic electric vehicles using 800V charging technology, the highest charging power is some models using CATL ternary lithium batteries, with a limit of 5C and a charging power of more than 500kW! Other vehicles are generally around 300~400kW, so the 800V charging power of the BYD Hiace 07 EV seems to be relatively low, and its technical level is still difficult to evaluate.
Under the premise that there are no surprises in charging power, the cost performance of this car is judged by three aspects: performance, battery life and intelligence.
Core parameters:
- The rear-wheel drive version has a range of 550, 610, and 610 kilometers respectively, with the low-end version breaking 100 in 7.3 seconds and the rest of the versions breaking 100 in 6.7 seconds
- The four-wheel drive version has a range of 550 kilometers and breaks 100 in 4.2 seconds
The performance of the rear-wheel drive version is decent, and the four-wheel drive version is still relatively strong.
However, the cruising range is not a leader, and the real standard will be compared in the second section.
Smart Configuration:
- It is equipped with a Level 2 intelligent driver assistance system as standard
- There is no lidar
- The model of the vehicle machine chip and the model of the assisted driving system chip are not specified
LiDAR is one of the important configurations that can upgrade to highly or fully autonomous driving in the future, without which the upgrade potential of the assisted driving system will be slightly smaller. The standards of the car chips used in BYD's series production cars are low, and the vehicles of the three brands of Dynasty, Ocean and Denza generally do not meet the standards of Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155, and it is expected that the Hiace 07 EV will be no exception.
Refer to competitors
The guide price of the Hiace 07 EV is 18.98, 18.98, and 219,800 yuan for the rear-wheel drive version, and 239,800 yuan for the four-wheel drive version.
Competitor 1: Leap C10 EV flagship version, with a guide price of 168,800 yuan, is also a mid-size SUV.
The cruising range is 530 kilometers, which is 20 kilometers lower than the low-profile version of the Hiace 07 EV, and it takes 7.29 seconds to break 100 seconds, which is basically the same as it, and the vehicle is equipped with LiDAR, and the car machine uses the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 chip, which is several times higher than the 8155.
Also as a rear-mounted rear-drive medium-sized SUV, the Leap C10 EV has a slightly shorter battery life but is in the same standard line, with comparable performance and much higher hardware configuration of the intelligent system, but the price of its flagship version is 21,000 yuan lower than that of the low-profile version of the Hiace 07 EV.
Competitor 2: Zhiji LS6, the guide price of the rear-wheel drive version is 22.99, 24.99, and 273,900 yuan, and the four-wheel drive version is 291,900 yuan, with a discount of 10,000 yuan.
Its rear-wheel drive version has a range of 560, 680 and 760 kilometers, the four-wheel drive version has a range of 702 kilometers, the rear-wheel drive version has a minimum range of 5.9 seconds and the fastest 5.5 seconds, and the four-wheel drive version is 3.48 seconds.
At the same time, both vehicles support 800V charging technology.
Summary:
Although the BYD Hiace 07 EV uses 800V charging technology, the charging power is not very eye-catching, the range and performance standards are not advantageous, and the hardware standards of the intelligent car machine and intelligent driving system are not high. Therefore, in the face of this car, it is impossible to give an excessively high evaluation, and at this stage, it seems that the same level of car of the new power brand is more cost-effective, and any brand will inevitably have some brand premiums after it becomes bigger and stronger.
