The acceleration of 100 kilometers is 3.9 seconds. How does BYD Han EV drive?

closefillIThe first time to share with you the hot spots in the automobile circle.

I have to say that when BYD Han just went public, many people were not very optimistic about it. After all, it was in the car segmentation field where its own brand had been weak, and it had a distance compared with Tesla and BBA in brand power. At the same time, pricing is also controversial.

Some netizens said: "Is BYD Han worth 219,800-279,500 yuan after subsidy?

Is the set price a little too floating?

The brain is crazy. Is it not fresh and fragrant to have the money to buy a Tesla?

This car is destined to be cool. "

However, in reality, BYD Han succeeded, and after three months of listing, BYD Han ushered in the first sales of more than 10,000. It can be said that BYD Han gave two big mouths to those who didn’t value it with real sales results. Yes! Byd Han not only didn’t get cold, but also climbed steadily.

According to the latest official sales data released by BYD in November, BYD Han sold a total of 10,105 vehicles in November, achieving a four-month sales increase, with a cumulative sales volume of 28,467 vehicles. Among them, BYD Han EV (parameter picture) sold 7,482 vehicles in November, ranking fourth in the sales list of new energy vehicles in November of china automobile dealers association Automobile Market Research Branch (Association); BYD Han DM also sold 2,623 vehicles in mid-November, up 5.3% from October. Judging from these sales figures, BYD Han really "went up". So why did it succeed? What are the core highlights? Just recently, the key gentleman participated in a deep test drive experience of "recalling Jiangnan" for BYD, and found some answers from it. Let’s go! Let’s take a look!

Full of Chinese style! The appearance is highly recognizable and differentiated.

Still as usual, let’s talk about the static part first. In this era of "looking at the face", not only people have to look at the face value, but even cars have to fight for the face value. In recent years, the post-90 s and post-00 s gradually replaced the post-70 s and post-80 s as the main group of consumers, and the personalized consumption characteristics of young people began to dominate the market changes. Therefore, the value of a car is good or bad, which can be said to play a decisive role in the process of consumers’ car selection.

After so many years of development, China’s automobile industry has become increasingly mature. While increasing the research and development of their own products, independent car manufacturers have also made great efforts in appearance value, striving to cater to the aesthetics of young consumers with the latest and most fashionable appearance design. Of course, BYD is the representative of this. Judging from the appearance of the models currently listed, the design style of BYD’s models is absolutely "fan".

Ok, the gossip is a little too much, so let’s get back to the topic! This time, the key test drive is a BYD Han EV four-wheel drive high-performance version of the flagship, with a price of 279,500 yuan and an acceleration of 3.9s seconds per 100 kilometers. When the key gentleman saw this car at first sight, the key gentleman was really amazed by its design. First of all, the first feeling it gave the key gentleman was that this BYD Han EV was very coupe-like, with a low posture and smooth lines. Interestingly, the overall design of this car is also full of Chinese style. Specifically, the front face of BYD Han EV adopts a closed and integrated front face, and a silver chrome-plated decorative strip is conspicuous at the grille of the front face, and the "Han" logo is also dotted in it, which also makes China elements more prominent. In addition, the shape of the headlight group is slender and sharp, and it looks more sci-fi and avant-garde with the streamlined body.

In addition to the attractive value of the front face, BYD Han EV also has a surprising part on the side of the car body. The side of the whole car body adopts a slip-back roof arc to make the car look more sporty. In addition, the design of the hidden handle highlights its sense of science and technology. During the experience, the key gentleman thinks that BYD has made this design very carefully, and the LOGO with the word "Han" is printed on the inside of the door handle, which is also very good in the process of pushing and retracting. It is worth mentioning that this car also supports NFC unlocking, and the sensing area is in the rearview mirror, which can support Huawei mobile phone unlocking and binding. At this point, the key gentleman thinks it is very convenient for consumers.

In addition, the design of the tail shape of BYD Han EV is also very textured. The top corner of the trunk adopts a duck tail shape, and the popular through taillights are not absent. The design elements of the taillights are also used on both sides, which is highly recognizable after lighting. From the overall design point of view, the face value of BYD Han EV is very high, which is quite good in terms of atmosphere and durability, and there is actually a reason to have this face value.

It is reported that this design was jointly created by Wolfgang Eiger, former design director of Audi, JuanMa López, exterior design director of Ferrari, and Michele Jauch-Paganetti, former interior design director of Mercedes-Benz. It is not difficult to understand why BYD Han can have a highly recognizable and differentiated appearance with such a big-name designer.

The interior is both textured and advanced.

Press the car key lightly, and when you open the car door and enter the car, the electric seat and the electric steering wheel will move slowly. It can be said that the full sense of ceremony will burst out instantly, and the interior that gives the key gentleman the deepest feeling visually is the red and black collocation. It is worthy of recognition that this car has significantly improved the sense of texture and luxury compared with the previous BYD models. At the same time, the interior of the whole car is also decorated with many wood grains, which is very classy.

In terms of materials, BYD Han EV is also very sincere. For example, in terms of seats, BYD Han EV uses Nappa leather raw materials. It is reported that this is selected from cattle hide imported from Brazil and has been processed by more than 20 processes. The overall filler is also very soft and comfortable. At the same time, BYD Han EV is equipped with the function of seat ventilation, and the overall comfort is very good. From this point of view alone, BYD Han EV is much better than Model 3, which is criticized for its rough workmanship and poor materials.

In addition, the interior design of BYD Han EV has not only retained the family-style design, but also carried out many innovations. For example, the dashboard uses a large display screen and the latest DiLink 3.0 UI design, which is called the theme of "flowing". The central control rotating large screen is not absent from this BYD Han EV, with a size of 15.6 inches and a brand-new UI design. The display effect is very clear and delicate, and the fluency of use is also "smooth". In addition, it has functions such as car WIFI, OTA remote upgrade and split-screen display. It is worth noting that in audio-visual entertainment, it can also support Internet radio, online music, local music and local videos, and the system supports downloading applications, which is basically the same as the smart phones we use every day.

In addition, this car is also quite rich in configuration, especially in active safety configuration. It is equipped with BYD Dipilot driver assistance system, and it is equipped with basic common practical configurations such as adaptive cruise, lane keeping and automatic parking.

Key Jun also had some experience during the test drive, among which the most memorable one is that when you enter low-speed driving, as soon as you turn on the turn signal, the screen will automatically switch to a 360-degree panoramic image, and its response speed is really fast. The most important thing is that it is practical and convenient. In terms of voice control, BYD Han EV also has a high degree of voice recognition. The wake-up mode can be awakened by buttons on the steering wheel or by voice, and its voice system has a fast response speed and high recognition. You just need to say "Hello, Xiao Di+Command" to switch to the specified command. Byd Han EV can support switching to make a phone call, check the weather, open the window and other commands.

Let’s take a look at the size. As a medium-sized and large car, BYD Han EV is also full of advantages in space performance. First, let’s take a look at the body size of BYD Han EV. Its length, width and height are 4980/1910/1495mm, and the wheelbase is 2920mm. It is precisely because of its super-long wheelbase of 2920 mm that the rear space of BYD Han EV can be described as luxury. In the actual experience process, the emphasis is on your height. At the same time, sitting in the back seat, you can feel the softness of the whole seat is very high. In addition, the cushion is also very long, not only with ventilation and heating functions, but also with electric adjustment of the back seat, which is quite "cool". Of course, there are still some shortcomings in the space of BYD Han EV. Compared with the abundance of leg space, the head space in the back row is somewhat cramped. In fact, it is not difficult to understand. After all, there are restrictions on the shape of sliding back, so the head space is not so comfortable. According to the pro-test, the head distance is 3.5 to 4 fingers without sitting up straight. If the body plate is upright, it will be a bit awkward. Judging from the overall interior experience of BYD Han EV, BYD Han EV can give consumers a luxury car enjoyment in terms of texture, technical equipment and comfort.

How does BYD Han EV drive?

After talking about the appearance and interior, what is the feeling of BYD Han EV? Since it is a test drive experience, how can we not talk about the feeling of driving! Let’s talk about parameters and power first. BYD Han EV provides two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive models, in which the front and rear dual-motor systems with total power of 363kW(494Ps) and maximum torque of 680N·m are adopted for the dual-motor four-wheel drive models. Among them, the long endurance version, the cruising range of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is 605km, and our test drive is the high-performance version of the Han EV four-wheel drive.

In this activity, we started from 4S shop to Tongling Yongquan Mountain Villa, with a total length of 180 kilometers. The middle section includes urban roads and expressway sections. In the early stage, before we got on the expressway section, there was a section of urban roads and there were many traffic lights in the middle. At this stage, we switched to economic mode. In this mode, the power output was relatively soft. After entering the expressway section, we switched the driving mode to SPORT mode. Choose the standard intensity for kinetic energy recovery. In the actual experience, the accelerator pedal of the four-wheel drive version is extremely sensitive. When the floor is electrified, the whole car is like a runaway wild horse. Its powerful acceleration performance gives the driver a strong sense of pushing back, but the overall feeling will not appear so abrupt, but it is delicate and linear. To be honest, this kind of driving pleasure will also make consumers feel addicted.

In addition, in addition to the extreme feeling of performance, BYD Han EV also brings us a good driving experience in handling, sports and comfort. When we arrive at the destination of Tongling Yongquan Mountain Villa, we need to go through a continuous curve mountain road. When our vehicle enters the curve, the lateral support of BYD Han EV is very good, and the flexibility of the whole chassis is also very good, which can make you easily turn the curve. To be honest, in this performance, BYD Han EV is not worthy of some luxury brands.

Finally, let’s talk about the performance of BYD Han EV in sound insulation. In fact, in real life, car noise can directly affect our driving experience. If the performance of the vehicle we are driving is not good enough in quietness, it will also increase the burden on the driver’s brain invisibly, which will make people feel annoyed and even lead to road rage. This is harmful to safe driving. At this point, BYD Han EV’s noise control in the car is good, and even some of them exceed the expectations of the key drivers. During the driving process, even if the speed reaches 120KM/h, the car is very quiet, and the wind noise and tire noise are also well controlled. At this point, BYD Han EV is better than other new energy vehicles.

Write at the end:

Whether it is the advanced design or the interior with both texture and high sense, BYD Han EV has given the key gentleman a good feeling. The excellent performance and the pleasant driving texture also make the key gentleman have enough surprises. For this price or this level of models, BYD Han EV is definitely a "face" and a "value" model. I believe that in the future new energy field, BYD Han EV will also create new achievements. Let’s wait and see!

Great Wall reported BYD, what is the truth?

  Source: southern window.

  "There is a new Great Wall in the north and BYD in the south." At the new car launch in 2022, Li Ruifeng, CGO of the Great Wall, still described the relationship between his family and his friends and businessmen as "North Qiao Feng, South Murong", just like appreciate each other between heroes.

  But it didn’t arrive in a year, and North Qiao Feng gave South Murong a sneak attack.

  On the morning of May 25th, Great Wall Motor issued a statement saying that it had submitted materials to the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, the State Administration of Markets, and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and reported that BYD Qin PLUS DM-i and Song PLUS DM-i used atmospheric fuel tanks, which were suspected of failing to meet the emission standards of evaporative pollutants from the whole vehicle.

On May 25th, Great Wall Motor issued a statement/Source: Great Wall Motor WeChat WeChat official account.

  A few hours later, BYD made a statement saying that it resolutely opposed any form of unfair competition and reserved the right to legal proceedings. BYD said that the test vehicle submitted by Great Wall did not meet the requirements of the national standard, and that its test report was invalid.

  One is the abdicated crown, and the other is the popular new king. The Great Wall’s tip-off letter to BYD, like a hero’s post widely distributed all over the world, made the auto market, which was already in dispute with blood and rain, stir up waves again.

  Report what?

  If you want to understand this matter deeply, you need to first interpret the core of the Great Wall report letter, that is, the problem that "the atmospheric oil tank is suspected of causing the evaporation pollutant discharge to fail to meet the standard".

  Generally speaking, ordinary cars can use an atmospheric fuel tank. The fuel in the atmospheric fuel tank is controlled by atmospheric pressure and can be delivered to the engine by gravity or fuel pump.

  This kind of oil tank is generally made of plastic and designed to work at atmospheric pressure. The internal and external environment are kept at the same pressure, and the positive pressure is 4~7Kpa.

  However, for some hybrid vehicles, high-pressure fuel tanks are needed for the sake of emission standards.

  Because compared with fuel vehicles, the engine of hybrid vehicles is not used frequently, and gasoline is very volatile. If it is not used often, it will accumulate a lot of oil and gas over time and easily escape.

  Don’t underestimate these vaporized gasoline. The data show that fuel evaporation emissions account for about 20% of light vehicle emissions, which is one of the important sources of air pollution. The "National Six" emission standard has strict requirements on the fuel evaporation control system of automobiles, which makes hybrid vehicles need to solve this problem.

  As a result, the high-pressure fuel tank came into being. In the high-pressure fuel tank which can bear pressure of 35~40Kpa, oil and gas will remain in the fuel tank under high pressure, and will enter the manifold through the carbon canister when the engine is running, thus reducing the emission of fuel evaporation.

  BYD Qin PLUS DM-i and Song PLUS DM-i belong to hybrid vehicles. Facing the emission demand, high-pressure fuel tanks may be needed to prevent oil and gas from escaping.

Qin PLUS DM-i/Source: BYD Auto official website

  After explaining the reporting point, let’s see if it is possible for BYD to use the atmospheric fuel tank.

  According to common sense, Great Wall Motor obviously has some evidence in its hands when it reports with such fanfare. In BYD’s response, it did not deny the use of atmospheric fuel tanks, explaining that the mileage of the test vehicles that focused on the Great Wall was insufficient, and it was the point that the test report was invalid.

  Due to the requirements of high-pressure fuel tanks for pressure resistance, the materials of such fuel tanks are mostly steel fuel tanks or encrypted plastics, and the matching fuel cap, fuel filling pipeline and evaporation pipeline also need to be specially made, and the cost is higher than that of atmospheric fuel tanks.

  From the point of cost reduction, BYD does have the motivation to use atmospheric fuel tanks.

  However, the hybrid vehicle using atmospheric fuel tank does not necessarily fail to meet the standard of fuel evaporative emission, which needs further testing and verification by relevant departments.

  The reason why BYD played "3,000 kilometers" actually has a saying.

  Qin PLUS DM-i and Song PLUS DM-i, as plug-in hybrid cars, have versions with a battery life of more than 100 kilometers. If you only run the "450-670 km" in BYD’s response, there is a high probability that a box of oil has not been run.

Song PLUS DM-i/ Source: BYD Auto official website

  If a tank of oil is not run out, the frequency of natural internal combustion engine is not high. If it is left standing for a period of time and not kept and sent for inspection within the specified time, the test results may be biased and cannot objectively reflect the emission values of vehicles.

  Therefore, just looking at the first round of confrontation, the Great Wall only hammered BYD’s "atmospheric fuel tank", but it was temporarily unable to hammer BYD’s emissions.

  Why today?

  There is an interesting detail in the tip-off. Great Wall reported BYD on April 11th, one and a half months earlier than May 25th.

  Why is it so late? Is it because the two sides have communicated beforehand? Or did the Great Wall ever think about keeping a low profile?

  Perhaps none of the above reasons, but more likely because BYD’s new car Song Pro DM-i Champion Edition is scheduled to be released on the afternoon of May 25th.

BYD's new car Song Pro DM-i champion trailer/Source: BYD Weibo

  On the day when the car was replaced, it was "disgusting" to have friends and businessmen, and the "sneak attack" of the Great Wall was well prepared.

  Hammer you, although it didn’t reach the so-called "filing" in the report letter, the invisible damage caused is really real. It will change consumers’ minds invisibly-that is, BYD’s products are controversial and may have the behavior of "cutting corners".

  Even if these things are proved to be untrue in the end, this cognitive change has caused a negative impression.

  It doesn’t matter if you have any questions. But it’s important for consumers to feel "you have a problem".

  The so-called business war is to attack the minds of consumers.

  Of course, BYD’s response is also very interesting.

BYD issued a statement/Source: BYD Auto official website

  The whole response, eight paragraphs, seven exclamation points, an average of nearly one paragraph. The last three paragraphs, or even a single sentence into paragraphs, each sentence has an exclamation point. Anger and grievances are almost overflowing.

  The last sentence is even more straightforward. "I hope everyone will do more things that are beneficial to the industry and the China brand!"

  The implication is that what Great Wall has done is harmful to both the industry and the China brand.

  Since you attacked first, don’t blame me for being rude.

  In the past, the hero cherished the hero’s "North-South Double Heroes", thus breaking away. This situation reminds people of the kind advice of a 69-year-old veteran comrade-Wulin should value peace, emphasize martial arts and not engage in infighting.

  Frankly speaking, last year’s metaphor of the Great Wall actually raised its own worth and secretly degraded BYD.

  Today’s China auto market is no longer the era when Haval H6 dominated the world. Although the Great Wall is still in the first echelon of auto companies, it is far behind by BYD.

  In 2022, BYD sold 1,863,500 new cars, with an operating income of 424.061 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 96.2%. The net profit attributable to shareholders of listed companies was 16.622 billion, up 445.86% year-on-year.

  In contrast, the Great Wall sold only 1,061,700 new cars last year, with a total operating income of 137.34 billion yuan, a slight increase of 0.69% year-on-year; The net profit attributable to shareholders of listed companies was 8.266 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 22.90%.

  For BYD, 2022 is undoubtedly a bumper year. It has become the champion of its own brand, the champion of global new energy vehicles, and the champion of China automobile market, and it has won many "firsts".

On March 28th, BYD released its 2022 financial report/Source: BYD official.

  The Great Wall is still in a difficult transition in the switch between the old and new markets. The sales target of "1.9 million vehicles" set in 2022 was less than 60%. The sales of Haval, Wei Pai, Euler and pickup trucks under its control fell across the board, while the sales of new energy vehicles declined from 139,000 to 132,000 compared with the previous year.

  If you don’t want to describe them as Qiao Feng and Mu Rongfu, you have to change your position, and you have lost Mu Rongfu after Wang Yuyan.

  What I did was big brother

  Many people believe that BYD’s rise is based on new energy sources.

  This sentence is correct, but it is not detailed enough.

  Pure trams are new energy, and hybrid cars are also new energy. The most important thing about BYD’s strong rise in the past two years is that plug-in hybrid vehicles have gained wide market recognition.

  In 2021, BYD successively launched three models: Qin PLUS DM-i, Song PLUS DM-i and Tang DM-i, which achieved the coverage of the mainstream price range of 100,000-200,000.

  As a result, in the second year, sales broke out. BYD sold 946,200 hybrid cars, accounting for 50.94% of the total sales. The sales volume of BYD Song PLUS DM-i alone was as high as 380,000.

  The same thing happened in the whole China market. In 2022, the sales growth rate of plug-in hybrid vehicles reached 150% year-on-year, and the growth rate of ultra-pure electric vehicles was 82%.

  Plug-in hybrid cars with green license, exemption from purchase tax, subsidy and electricity saving are the "wealth code" of China auto market.

  Great Wall Motor certainly saw through this. Although it started later than BYD, it soon joined the research and development of hybrid technology. In 2018, Great Wall Motor developed a new hybrid platform, which is now the lemon hybrid DHT system.

  However, consumers who know that "the Great Wall is also very mixed" are far from knowing that "BYD is very mixed". The reason is that the "coffee series" of the Great Wall really sells badly.

  On the one hand, the positioning of Macchiato DHT is slightly higher than that of Song PLUS DM-i, and the entry version is 20,000 yuan higher; On the other hand, the naming of "Macchiato" is controversial, which leads to its poor market recognition. In the end, due to the small sales volume, consumers can’t perceive the hybrid technology of the Great Wall, which makes the Great Wall lose its first-Mover advantage.

  If this technology had been devolved to Haval H6 earlier, it is likely that the current SUV hybrid market is by no means a monopoly of Song Plus DM-I.

  The former Haval H6, which has won the championship for 100 consecutive months, is a well-deserved "magic car" in China. Until January of 2022, Haval H6 was still the dominant player in SUV field.

  Unfortunately, it was not until mid-August of 2022 that the mixed version of Haval H6 came late. At this time, the sales volume of H6 has fallen to the fifth place, and not only Song PLUS has surpassed it, but also Yuan PLUS has surpassed it.

  The failure to grasp the mixed outlet is an important reason why the Great Wall is now trapped in transformation and its sales volume has fallen sharply. I want to make the brand high-end and new energy at the same time, and finally the Great Wall of "one fish and two meals" failed to do both things well. Looking back, this is undoubtedly a strategic mistake of the Great Wall.

  Although there are many consumers who sing the Great Wall, from the market value point of view, Great Wall Motor with a volume of 210 billion+is still the "second brother" after BYD.

  This time, the "second brother" challenged the "big brother". Although it is somewhat embarrassing, it is also the norm in business competition.

  Aboveboard peer supervision also protects the interests of consumers to some extent. If there is unfair competition, I believe that the relevant institutions will eventually give the enterprise an innocence and give a statement after verification.

  

Chery’s sales in August were released: the whole department sold well, and the new Tiggo broke 80,000.
