As we all know, the current competition in China's new energy SUV market is fierce, and major automakers are also increasing the launch of new cars to seize various market segments with the "sea of cars" tactics. In the coming months, there will be several new energy SUVs from Chinese brands, and here we will take a look at two of the most popular models.
BYD Seal X
After the Seal 06 made its debut at the 2024 Beijing Auto Show for the medium-sized new energy sedan, BYD Ocean Network is about to usher in a new energy sedan again, the new car may be named Seal X, positioning the hatchback pure electric steel cannon.
In terms of appearance, the new BYD Seal X continues the marine aesthetic design concept of the BYD Ocean Net model, and the front face of the new car is highly similar to the Seal 06, especially the headlights and front hood design, the two cars can be said to be the same. However, as a hatchback pure electric steel cannon, the product positioning of the Seal X is more sporty. As a result, the front face has a more combat-style bumper design; Also at the rear, the Seal X has a sportier and more aggressive rear bumper, but the new car's continuous taillight design is also the same as that of the Seal 06.
In the details, you can see that the Seal X has a variety of tail label names, which also inherently reveal the connection between the new car and the seal.
In terms of size, according to the declaration information, the body measurements of the seal X are: 4630/1880/1490mm, wheelbase 2820mm, positioning A+ class hatchback pure electric steel cannon. Compared with the Seal 06 DM-i (4830mm/1875mm/1495mm, wheelbase 2790mm), the Seal X is shorter, but the wheelbase and width are increased, and the height is reduced, which is in line with the product positioning of the hatchback.
In terms of power, the Seal X will be available in three power calibrations. Among them, the two single-motor models are rear-wheel drive, with a maximum power output of 160kW and 165kW, and are paired with lithium iron phosphate blade batteries; The dual-motor all-wheel drive version has a maximum power output of 110kW + 200kW and is also equipped with a lithium iron phosphate blade battery. Considering that there is not much difference in the power output between the two rear-wheel drive single-motor models, the biggest difference between them should be focused on range.
Changan Navy S05
While BYD is actively launching a product offensive, Changan Automobile is not idle, and its dark blue brand will also launch an A+ new energy SUV called S05, and provide two power forms of range extension and pure electric at the same time.
At the same time, the Chang'an Deep Blue brand may sort out the naming of its products. The original Navy S7 may be renamed Navy S07; The dark blue SL03 of the sedan line will be renamed dark blue L07. The new product naming method of the Deep Blue brand will allow consumers to more intuitively distinguish the level and positioning of its products.
In terms of appearance, the dark blue S05 still continues the family design language design of the dark blue brand, and the sharp headlights and closed grille make the new car look avant-garde and sporty. At the rear, the new car's continuous LED taillights have a high brand recognition. In addition, judging from the appearance alone, there is almost no difference between the dark blue S05 pure electric version and the extended range version.
In terms of details, it will be equipped with an all-glass roof, roof racks, various wheel types, and a roof camera. As a result, the high-spec models of the new car will be equipped with advanced driver assistance systems.
In terms of size, the body measurements of the dark blue S05 are: 4620/1900/1600mm, wheelbase 2800mm, positioning A+ new energy SUV.
In terms of power, the dark blue S05 pure electric version will use single-motor rear-wheel drive, with a maximum power output of 175kW, and is equipped with a lithium iron phosphate battery pack. The dark blue S05 extended range version will be equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine + drive motor. The engine has a maximum output of 72 kW and a drive motor with a maximum output of 160 kW and is equipped with a lithium iron phosphate battery.
The product positioning of the dark blue S05 will be lower than that of the current dark blue S7, and its price range is expected to be 12-160,000 yuan.
