After its debut at the Beijing Auto Show, the BYD Hiace 07EV was officially launched on May 10, with a price range of 189,800 yuan to 239,800 yuan. Along with the Hiace 07EV comes the e-platform 3.0 Evo, which will be a new technology cluster that BYD will vigorously roll out in the field of pure electric vehicles.
Let's talk about the e-platform 3.0 Evo first, first of all, in terms of power, the e-platform 3.0 Evo uses a new 12-in-1 intelligent electric drive system, which improves the energy conversion efficiency and achieves the enhancement of battery life. The maximum speed of the motor has also gone to 23000rpm, and it should be noted that this is 23000rpm for mass production, not at the PPT level.
Secondly, the e-platform 3.0 Evo has also brought a breakthrough in charging technology. It boosts the power of dual-gun overcharging to an astonishing 500kW, and the introduction of this technology has undoubtedly brought a qualitative leap in the charging speed of electric vehicles. According to the test data, it only takes 18 minutes for the e-Platform 3.0 Evo to complete the charging process. In order to better meet the charging needs of users, the platform also introduces advanced technologies such as boost charging, uptick charging, and end-of-line charging optimization.
In terms of intelligence, the e-platform 3.0 Evo also makes up for BYD's past shortcomings, and they will push urban pilot assisted driving this year. As well as those technologies announced at the BYD Technology Day earlier, they will also be on the car one after another.
In addition, the e-platform 3.0 Evo is equipped with advanced intelligent motion control technology, which can even achieve one-touch drifting. There is also iTAC technology, which allows the car to better cope with skidding and other situations in complex road conditions, with higher safety and stronger off-road ability.
In terms of body and chassis architecture, on the basis of the original CTB battery body integration technology, BYD has added the TRB integrated dash panel and blade battery fusion design this time, and the side has also integrated the 1500Mpa ultra-high strength closed-section roller beam and blade battery for the first time, which has improved the integrity of the body structure and improved the safety and torsional rigidity of the body.
In general, the e-platform 3.0 EVO has significant improvements and breakthroughs in power, charging, handling and intelligence. Its emergence will further improve BYD's competitiveness in the new energy vehicle market, and also bring better electric vehicle products to consumers.
As the first model of BYD's e-platform 3.0 Evo, the Hiace 07EV has 12 world-first hardcore technologies and is equipped with more than 100 configurations as standard. At the design level, it also completely continues the design language of the Ocean X concept car, fully embodying the design concept of "marine aesthetics".
In terms of body size, the length, width and height of Hiace 07EV are 4830*1925*1620mm, and the wheelbase is 2930mm.
The interior design is the same as the exterior, continuing to carry forward the characteristics of the Ocean Net model, especially the part where the center console connects to the door panels is very distinctive. Therefore, I also especially recommend that you choose a brighter interior color when buying the Hiace 07EV, which will complement its line design better.
In terms of power, Hiace 07EV offers rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive models to choose from, and the battery is also available in two specifications, the entry-level version of the small battery single motor, 71.8 kWh and 170kW, 000 acceleration in 7.3 seconds, CLTC range of 550km. The two versions in the middle have a single motor with a large battery, 80.64 kWh and 230kW, which accelerates from zero to 100 in 6.7 seconds and has a CLTC range of 610km. It is equipped with two large battery motors, 80.64 kWh and 390kW, 000 acceleration in 4.2 seconds, and CLTC range of 550km.
We believe that the most cost-effective is the 610 long-range version of 199,800 yuan, which should have all the basic configurations, with a long battery life and a very sufficient power reserve. If you have a need for an intelligent driving system, you can choose the 610 intelligent aviation version.
The arrival of a model like the Hiace 07EV is very meaningful to BYD, because its product form is relatively novel, even compared with the products of new power brands, the Hiace 07EV is also quite attractive.
