Not long ago, the China Passenger Car Association released the latest statistics. In the first half of this year, the sales of Chinese new energy vehicle companies accounted for as much as 59% of the world. China not only achieved success in the new energy market, but also took advantage of this opportunity to achieve remarkable results. In the fields of new energy three-electric technology and automotive intelligent technology, Chinese auto companies have jumped into the world's leading ranks and have even become industry leaders in some fields. At the same time, Chinese auto brands have also accelerated their progress towards overseas markets with the help of the new energy trend. BYD and some leading brands in new car manufacturing forces have begun to deploy in traditional automobile mainstream markets such as Europe and Japan. Since the beginning of this year, the overseas version of ATTO 3 of BYD Yuan PLUS has been launched in mainstream international markets such as Australia, Singapore , Cambodia , Japan, and Europe, and performed well.
As a leading enterprise among China's new energy vehicle companies, BYD has a nearly complete layout in the entire new energy vehicle industry chain, from power batteries, three-electric systems, vehicle manufacturing and even automotive chips, among which blade battery , IGBT chips, etc. have long become household names. In the field of vehicle, BYD has made plans to show BYD from entry-level to luxury, from passenger cars to commercial vehicles. The hot performance of the hard-to-find car in the market is enough to show the competitiveness of BYD products. BYD, which is also outstanding in the high-end new energy vehicle market, can still remain unremitting in A-class cars that are more friendly to young users. The Yuan PLUS we are going to talk about today is such a good car with careful design. It is a hot-selling model that sold more than 100,000 units in just 7 months after it was launched. Last month alone, Yuan PLUS sold 23,069 units, leaving a number of joint venture brand competitors behind.
It is really good to have a good foundation
There are many points that everyone pays attention to when buying a car, such as space, configuration, battery life, safety, etc. The core of the problem is that this car uses the best technology to ensure that the performance we can see can meet our expectations. The first thing to pay attention to for a good electric car is whether it comes from a real pure electric platform. Only a suitable platform can ensure that a car can perform excellent enough performance. Yuan PLUS was born from BYD e-platform 3.0, and naturally inherited the core advantages of e-platform 3.0.
Simply put, a pure electric platform is designed and developed from the beginning based on the technology of electric vehicles, allowing the battery, motor and vehicle systems to perform the best performance, rather than allowing the new electric vehicle technology to compromise with the original technology platform. e-platform 3.0 is a newly built pure electric platform by BYD, integrating advanced technologies such as BYD blade battery, eight-in-one power assembly, fast fast charging, electronic control domain technology, etc.
With a very small detail, you can feel the advantages of e-platform 3.0 and BYD's attentiveness. Yuan PLUS is the only new energy vehicle equipped with a heat pump within 200,000. The heat pump system contains eleven working modes, including all heating and cooling usage scenarios, so that under the heating conditions in winter, energy efficiency is up to 2~4, and has a wide temperature range of -30~60℃. Don’t underestimate the impact of a small air conditioner on an electric vehicle. Traditional fuel vehicles can make full use of the waste heat generated by the engine in winter. Electric vehicles need air conditioners to make heating. An efficient air conditioner can greatly improve the battery life of the electric vehicle in winter. By equipped with heat pump, air conditioner , the low-temperature battery life of the electric vehicle can even be increased by 20%.
For example, bidirectional charging and discharging can be realized on meta-PLUS. This technology itself is not a very complex technology, but to implement it, it is necessary to design bidirectional inverters and other equipment at the beginning of vehicle development. With such a small innovation, YuanPLUS has a super useful function - VTOL mobile power station function, which supports discharge with a power of up to 3.3kWh, which means that there is a large power supply at any time when you go out, which can support most high-power appliances, and can be used at will when camping, cooking, etc.
BYD's hot-selling new energy vehicles are far more than Yuan PLUS. Last month, BYD sold 200,973 new energy vehicles, of which 94,941 were pure electric vehicles. It is precisely because of the solid foundation laid by e-platform 3.0 that outstanding safety, comprehensive performance and super cost-effectiveness have been fully recognized by the market, which has enabled BYD to create so many popular models.
All-round battery security guarantee
BYD's achievements in the field of new energy vehicles are by no means accidental. Before entering the car manufacturing industry, BYD was already one of the world's largest mobile phone battery suppliers. The reason for entering the automotive industry is that Wang Chuanfu was optimistic about the future of new energy vehicles more than 20 years ago.
Old car fans may still remember the "iron battery" technology that BYD mainly focused on more than ten years ago. That’s right, this is today’s lithium iron phosphate battery , and now BYD has upgraded it to its original “blade battery”. Power batteries have always had a battle between ternary lithium and lithium iron phosphate . The ternary lithium battery has a higher energy density and can achieve better battery life; lithium iron phosphate batteries have higher safety and longer cycle life.
BYD has enabled lithium iron phosphate batteries to have the energy density comparable to ternary lithium battery packs through structural innovation, while retaining the inherent high safety and long cycle life of lithium iron phosphate batteries. The blade battery standard equipped by BYD Yuan PLUS can withstand the test of severe needle pricking, and can charge and discharge more than 3,000 times of cycle charge and discharge, and supports a mileage of more than 1.2 million kilometers. It is precisely this feature that makes BYD blade battery a household name battery technology now.
And BYD has done much more than this in terms of power safety. BYD Yuan PLUS is equipped with a new generation of intelligent battery temperature control management system, and adopts BYD's independent design of the world's first direct cooling and direct heating technology. It has the characteristics of high safety, low energy consumption, and light weight, which reduces the energy loss of secondary heat transfer and increases the system energy efficiency by 10%. The intelligent and efficient temperature control system has greatly improved the battery life of YuanPLUS in winter.
At the same time, the Yuan PLUS car body structure uses a large number of high-strength materials, the proportion of thermoformed steel reaches 11%, and the tensile strength of steel reaches 1500Mpa; the proportion of steel with high-strength steel and above accounts for 85%, and the proportion of ultra-high-strength steel reaches 55%. This ensures high safety of the vehicle occupant itself. In the event of an unfortunate collision, through the battery pack body protection system, the vehicle body can convert the collision energy through the buffering energy absorption area to maximize the battery safety, thereby avoiding more damage to passengers in the car.
Security itself is the most impressive point of blade batteries. In the needle puncture experiment, there is no open flame, no explosion, and stable voltage crushing ternary lithium batteries of the same energy level. In addition, Yuan PLUS has comprehensive protection of battery safety and has obtained the strongest safety performance among the same-class models. At the same time, the CIPLUS can range up to 510km (CLTC operating conditions), making it a rare pure electric SUV model with a range of more than 500km in 150,000. It can be said that it brings the high safety and low cost of blade batteries to the extreme.
Dragon face leads the fashion trend
Advanced and reliable technology is the basis of a good car, and a good car is the easiest to be perceived by people first, the first thing that is good-looking designs. The family-style styling called Dragon Face 3.0 is BYD's unique and iconic design, and car fans are used to calling him "Longyan". This is a very Chinese-style design, very beautiful and recognizable design, and is a model of original design in independent brands.
yuan PLUS continues the design of this family and creates a sharp dive dynamic shape through smooth body lines. It not only looks good, but also brings excellent aerodynamic effects. Its vehicle resistance coefficient is only 0.29Cd, which is quite excellent in SUVs of the same level.
LED light groups on both sides of the dragon whiskers are as bright as longans. The lighting uses BYD's unique lighting processing technology to increase the lighting width to 16.7 meters, far exceeding the same level.
taillight design echoes the front face. The interior of the lamp group is designed with a feather-like exquisite structure, which has a very textured lighting effect and has a strong recognition. The taillight adopts a unique geometric multi-color injection molding process to achieve integrated molding technology, which presents this unique feather-like texture. The official introduction of the taillight’s minimum luminous surface width is only 5mm, which is enough to show the accuracy of its processing technology.
comfortable and intelligent third space
enters the car, an interesting and humanistic interactive system, matched with exquisite manufacturing technology, the design atmosphere is firm and soft. BYD Yuan PLUS is led by BYD's global interior design director mcale Paganeti . It is themed with a gym with a hormonal outsized appearance (GYM) and has a trendy and avant-garde design.
center console design echoes the appearance design with a powerful dragon whisker, tightening from the middle to both ends. The overall interior design breaks the routine and combines sports without losing interest. For example, string door panel decorative parts for music elements, dumbbell air conditioning outlets for health elements, treadmill-type central handrails, and thrust electronic gear lever. The harmonious combination of elements in life into the interior design is also natural.
is good-looking. The larger specificity in the car is easy to use, especially the iconic one is BYD's most distinctive rotating central control screen. The Yuan PLUS is equipped with a 15.6-inch adaptive rotary suspension Pad, which has the practicality of horizontally and vertically arranged large screens, and can better match the usage habits of different APPs in the application ecosystem of BYD OS. You should know that BYD's car computer system has an application ecosystem comparable to smartphones. It is currently the car computer system with the most application ecosystems and is still enriched. Whether it is playing on the vertical screen, or watching movies on the horizontal screen, the rotary screen can be very compatible. Traditional navigation can also draw up angles that you can use more comfortably according to your personal habits. Moreover, this system is independently developed by BYD, ensuring better coordination and higher data security among various systems.
Of course, good screens also require good audio. The 8 Yang audio system is equipped with Dirac Performance sound effects to restore the tone, improve the sound quality, and make the sound purer and clearer. It is worth mentioning that Meta PLUS also has a K-song function. Some people may think that this is a bit of a secondary function, but when you go out with your friends, you will feel that this is a function that can bring people infinite happiness. Another great benefit of the meta-PLUS based on e-platform 3.0 is its larger space performance. Its body length is only 4455mm, but its wheelbase reaches 2720mm. This is also the effect of a small car that can only be achieved by the pure electric platform when it left the space occupied by traditional engines and other machinery to the passenger compartment at the beginning of its design. At the same time, the pure electric platform can also reduce the impact of battery packs and other on space, making the interior space perform better and more regular use. BYD's careful design also makes the use of space more flexible, such as the upper and lower trunks can be movable, and the rear row is fully folded and the headrest can be turned into a big bed in one second after the headrest is flipped.
easy to open and worry-free
In terms of power, the meta-PLUS also performs outstandingly. Yuan PLUS is equipped with the world's first eight-in-one power assembly, which has the characteristics of highly integrated, high power density and high efficiency, which greatly improves Yuan PLUS's power performance. At the same time, the power system noise is less than 76dB, the power density can be increased by 20%, and the overall working efficiency is as high as 89%. The ultra-low energy consumption of PLUS 12.2/12.5 kW·h/100km can be achieved by charging only once a week in daily use. The maximum speed fast charging of 128kW enables a range of 10 kilometers in 10 minutes of charging.In terms of
chassis, Yuan PLUS uses a rare multi-link independent rear suspension in the same class. As mentioned above, the vehicle uses a large number of high-strength steel, etc., which gives Yuan PLUS higher body steel, thus achieving better handling. At the same time, the strong body is also a reliable guarantee for passive safety, and has achieved handling and safety performance far exceeding the same class model.
For novice car owners, BYD Yuan PLUS also provides a holographic transparent imaging system, which can not only look around but also gain insight into the bottom of the car. In addition, YuanPLUS can also use 4 surround view cameras and 12 ultrasonic radars to identify parking spaces and detect obstacles around the vehicle to achieve panoramic automatic parking
in fact, it is not just parking, YuanPLUS's assisted driving capabilities and active safety are also in place. YuanPLUS uses the fourth generation monocular camera for target detection, and is equipped with the full vehicle radar , providing rich intelligent driving assistance system functions. Another detail worth mentioning is that the CST comfortable parking brake equipped by Yuan PLUS is difficult for novices to control the brake force well. The vehicle will shake violently at the moment of stopping. The CST comfortable parking brake can help novices get rid of this dilemma. The effort is always inadvertently, and you won’t even notice its existence. This is also one of the attractive charms of BYD.
Conclusion: With the basic guarantee of e-platform 3.0, YuanPLUS has been waiting for performance that is far superior to its peers in terms of technical level, security performance, etc., and even surpasses the level. It sold more than 100,000 units in just 7 months after its launch. The sales result of 23,069 units in September is the market's best recognition of the comprehensive strength of Yuan PLUS. At the same time, the exquisite exterior and interior design are also very touching. This is a car that looks good and easy to drive, and at the same time makes users more comfortable to use with due care in details. Yuan PLUS is definitely a good car worth buying.
