On April 10th, the brand-new BYD Han series was officially launched. The new cars are divided into three series according to the power type, among which there are three models in EV Chuangshi Edition, and the price range after comprehensive subsidy is 269,800 to 288,600 yuan. In addition, there is a limited edition of Qian Shan Cui, which sells for 329,800 yuan. There are 4 DM-i versions, and the price range after comprehensive subsidy is 215,800 to 289,800 yuan; Finally, there is one DM-p version with a price of 319,800 yuan. At this point, BYD’s "Dynasty" series finally achieved DM-i full coverage.
At the same time, BYD also announced the listing rights of new cars, including the lifetime warranty of non-operating vehicles (the first owner), the replacement subsidy of 4,000 yuan, free car replacement, free airport parking, free installation of charging piles for the first owner, and 2 years of free car traffic (5GB/ month).
■ EV Edition: A More Powerful New Big Man
Regarding the static introduction of the new Han EV, you can watch the video analysis we made before, and refine the differences between several new versions and the previous generation Han EV in design and modeling.
The first is the fine-tuning of the size. Compared with the previous version, the new BYD Han EV is 15mm longer, while the width, height and wheelbase remain the same. Therefore, although the new Han has become bigger, it is not obvious from the body shape. However, on the other hand, the captain of 4995mm can still enhance the competitiveness of the new Han EV in the same level market.
Secondly, the power has become stronger, especially its front motor, the maximum power is 180kW, and the peak torque can reach 350Nm, which is obviously improved compared with the previous generation of Han EV, while the rear electric drive parameters of the dual-motor four-wheel drive version have not changed, and its comprehensive maximum output is 380kW, and the comprehensive peak torque can reach 700Nm.
The third is the increase of endurance. With the blade battery of 85.4kWh, the new Han EV has a cruising range of 610km and 715km under CLTC comprehensive working conditions, even at the lowest level, it runs farther than the super-long endurance version of the previous generation Han EV.
In addition, it is worth noting that at present, many large and medium-sized pure electric cars with endurance of 700km or more on the market have battery capacities ranging from 90kWh to 100kWh, but the brand-new Han EV can achieve the same effect only by being equipped with 85.4kWh battery pack. It must be said that BYD still has deep technical reserves in the three-power technology.
In the intelligent part, the new Han EV is mainly upgraded on DiPilot intelligent driver assistance system. The new car will be equipped with 22 sensing components, and at the same time, it will add functions such as highway driving assistance and emergency avoidance assistance, which can better provide accurate and efficient help for drivers.
In terms of intelligent cockpit, the new Han EV will be equipped with DiLink 4.0 intelligent network connection system as standard, as well as high-end configurations and functions such as 5G quick connection, dual-frequency positioning, four-tone voice interaction, HiFi-level customized Tanner audio, W-HUD head-up display, DMS fatigue driving warning system, etc., and at the same time support remote upgrade of OTA of the whole vehicle.
In the new Han EV series, there is also a limited edition of Qian Shan Cui, which not only has an exclusive green color scheme, but also has exclusive configurations and interior and exterior decoration kits such as high-grade suede seats, sports interior kits, UWB digital keys and high-performance stone green four-piston pliers. In terms of power, the power system of this model is the same as the "610KM four-wheel drive exclusive type" of the conventional Genesis version.
■ How to choose the new Han EV?
Among the four models, which version of the new Han EV has the highest cost performance? First of all, from the power point of view, the new Han EV can be regarded as two single-motor front-wheel drive models and two-motor four-wheel drive models, so if consumers need four-wheel drive systems, they can only choose from the "610KM four-wheel drive exclusive model" of 288,600 yuan, and if there are higher requirements for battery life, I think the "715KM distinguished model" is completely sufficient.
Because as the basic model of the new Han EV, its configuration itself is rich enough, and it can meet most of the daily needs in terms of quality and experience, and even a little surprise.
Of course, the entry level is not the most comprehensive in terms of intelligent driving assistance. If there are high requirements for this part of the configuration, I suggest choosing the "715KM flagship type" because there is not much difference between it and the "four-wheel drive exclusive type" in terms of driving assistance configuration, and the price is only 17,700 yuan more expensive than the entry level, which is still relatively cost-effective.
■ DM-i/p Edition: The Strongest "Chinese"
For the static introduction of the new Han DM-i, you can click on the video to analyze and watch it. As for the DM-p version, there is no obvious difference between it and the new Chinese DM-i version in appearance and interior design, but it has improved its power performance, and it is also the most powerful version of the new Chinese system.
The power system of the new Han DM-i/p version consists of Xiaoyun-Plug-in special turbocharged 1.5Ti high-efficiency engine and driving motor, in which the maximum power of the engine is 102kW and the peak torque is 231Nm；. In the driving motor part, the DM-i version will be equipped with a front single motor and two parameter versions, while the DM-p version will be equipped with front and rear double motors.
If we simply superimpose the parameters of the DM-p version of the drive motor, it is concluded that its comprehensive maximum power is 360kW and its peak torque is 675Nm, which is very close to the performance of the previous generation of the most powerful EV. In addition, with an efficient engine, the performance can be imagined. No wonder the acceleration of 100 kilometers is only 3.7s s.
In addition, in terms of endurance and fuel consumption, the new Han DM-i version has a fuel consumption of 4.2L to 4.5L per 100 kilometers under NEDC working conditions, and the comprehensive cruising range can reach 1300km, and the longest pure battery life can reach 242km；; The DM-p version has a pure battery life of 206km and a fuel consumption of 5.2L per 100 km under NEDC conditions.
Interestingly, although the new Han DM-i/p is equipped with a relatively complicated plug-in system, especially an engine, in terms of size, these two models are 5mm shorter than the previous generation Han EV, but other parameters have not changed, and the wheelbase is also 2920 mm.
In terms of configuration, the new Chinese DM-i/p version is the same as the EV version, which is equipped with a more intelligent DiPilot intelligent driver assistance system and rich intelligent, comfortable and convenient configurations and functions.
■ How to choose the new Chinese DM-i/p?
In terms of purchase, we see that all the new Han DM-i versions are precursors, while DM-p is a four-wheel drive, so there is only one option for the four-wheel drive power system. In the DM-i version, the "242KM flagship" with a price of 289,800 yuan is the most powerful and has the longest pure electric endurance. If you pursue the ability to travel, it is recommended to choose this one.
If we consider the configuration, first of all, in the intelligent driving assistance part, we can see that the "242KM flagship" and DM-p version have the most complete number of sensors and auxiliary functions, so if the configuration requirements for this part are higher, the "242KM flagship" is more cost-effective.
However, in terms of safety, comfort and convenience, the functions of the new Han DM-i series are already very comprehensive. If you want a higher-level configuration, I suggest starting with the "121KM distinguished model" with a price of 225,800 yuan, because there are many identical configurations on the "flagship model" on it, but the price difference is at least 64,000 yuan.
■ Bangpingdian
On the whole, the timing for BYD to launch a brand-new Han series is very good. On the one hand, because many heavy products of the same type have been delivered or listed recently, this market segment has become one of the focuses of attention inside and outside the industry. At this time, listing is easy to get better communication effect; On the other hand, it is the time when the brand announced the sales volume and delivery volume at the beginning of the month. BYD’s production and sales data in March performed well, showing excellent brand health, and at the same time boosting the confidence of many consumers who intend to buy BYD models. I believe it can also help the brand-new Han series to get more orders.
As for the specific model competitiveness, I think that Han EV, as the first "veteran" to enter the medium and large-sized pure electric car market, has kept up with the pace of market evolution in time after this update, and has renewed its vitality and maintained its strong competitiveness.
The brand-new Han DM-i/p series actually has no specific competitors in a strict sense. The medium and large plug-in hybrid cars on the same track with it are basically BBA brands of more than 500,000, such as BMW 5 Series plug-in hybrid and Volvo S90 RECHARGE. Therefore, the new Han DM-i/p series will gain more market opportunities and the sales volume can be expected.
