A few days ago, BYD’s heavy new car in 2020 officially opened for pre-sale. The new car only launched pure electric and plug-in hybrid power, and no longer provided the conventional fuel version. Among them, the comprehensive cruising range of Han EV can reach 550-605km, and the pre-sale price after subsidy is 240,000-280,000 yuan; Han DM may only have a three-engine hybrid four-wheel drive luxury model in the early stage, and the pre-sale price after subsidy is 230,000 yuan.
At the same time, BYD also announced Han’s car purchase privileges, including the first owner’s lifelong free routine maintenance (non-operation), the first owner’s 72-hour free parking at the airport, replacement subsidies and so on. What is more attractive is that BYD also provided a "black technology gift" for Han users, including a black technology package worth 20,000 yuan, contactless distribution, external discharge and DiPilot remote control driving.
Vehicle introduction
Byd Han can be described as a real new energy medium and large luxury car. Highlights of the new car include innovative "Dragon Face" design, luxurious interior modeling, Dilink3.0 vehicle system, "Blade" lithium iron phosphate battery, DiPilot intelligent driver assistance system and so on.
As a pure electric vehicle, Han EV has no heat dissipation requirement of fuel engine, and its front face structure cancels a large area of black grille and adopts BYD’s "EV Dragon Face" closed front face shape. The long and narrow headlight group is connected by a metal decorative strip, which looks like a dragon, exquisite and smart. The "dragon beard" in the center of its face connects the "dragon crystal" composed of LED headlights on both sides in series, and the closed integrated front face design is the most eye-catching place of Han EV.
The side of the car body uses a smooth arc to outline the slip-back car body shape, and the powerful waistline extends from the back door to the rear of the car in an upward posture, making the whole side look like a sense of sight that is ready to go. Close to the shape of the four-door coupe and the "dragon ridge" design of the sliding roof and short tail compartment, it has strong visual characteristics. With the concealed door handle design, the airflow direction that fits the car body is strengthened, and the eddy current on the side of the car is effectively reduced. According to BYD official data, Han’s drag coefficient is only 0.233Cd, reaching the top level of global production cars.
In terms of size, BYD Han EV has a body size of 4980/1910/1495mm and a wheelbase of 2920mm, and is positioned as a medium-sized B-class sedan.
BYD Han EV has added NFC sensing to the left front rearview mirror. The new car will support NFC card unlocking and mobile phone inductive unlocking like Model 3. BYD, which does not need to carry car keys at all, is very close to us.
In the rear part, BYD Han EV uses a flatter and wider tail shape, and the slip-back tail with a new style of "Dragon Claw" taillights shows a good texture. In addition, BYD Han simulated the design modeling of duck tail by using animal bionics, which not only presented elegant lines for vehicles, but also provided downward pressure for vehicles, realizing the integration of design and high performance.
The acceleration time of Han EV driven by dual motors is only 3.9 seconds.
BYD Han EV will provide two color matching styles of interiors. The black and red matching looks very young and combative, while the black and brown matching can be very stable, reflecting a more luxurious texture.
In design, the interior of Han EV adopts "embracing" design, and the front and side of the cockpit are surrounded by a continuous curve to surround the whole driving area. The design of the whole instrument panel abandoned rational straight lines and replaced them with rich and coherent curves and surfaces. Compared with the dynasty series products that took the popular route before, BYD Han, which faces the high-end market, is more exquisite and luxurious in interior design.
There is little difference between the full LCD instrument style and the models currently on sale, but the resolution is improved and the display effect is more delicate.
The same rotatable central control suspended large screen is equipped with the latest Dilink 3.0 intelligent car machine system. The new system is more concise in UI interface design and has a better interactive logic experience.
The brand-new shift lever area has a very regular shape, and the overall material is bright black piano paint. The texture of the roller is also in place, and the luxury and texture have the taste of the flagship model.
BYD Han EV will also be the first BYD vehicle equipped with advanced driver assistance system. The new DiPilot is composed of DiTrainer and DiDAS, in which DiDAS includes automatic emergency braking assistance system, forward collision warning system, adaptive cruise, one-lane integrated cruise, traffic jam assistance, lane departure warning system, lane keeping system, blind spot monitoring, automatic parking, panoramic image, remote driving and other functions, which is equivalent to a standardized advanced driver assistance system. It is worth mentioning that among these functions, APA automatic parking is the first time to be applied to BYD Han models.
BYD Han EV has two power versions to choose from. The dual-motor version of BYD Han EV has a front motor with a maximum power of 163kW and a maximum torque of 330N·m, a rear motor with a maximum power of 200kW and a maximum torque of 350N·m, a maximum speed of 185km/h and an acceleration time of only 3.9 seconds per 100 km. The single-motor version is equipped with a front-mounted permanent magnet motor with a maximum power of 163kW, with a torque of 330N·m and a maximum speed of 185 km/h..
At the same time, all the "blade" batteries used by BYD Han EV have been replaced by Ferrous lithium phosphate materials, and CTP has been designed without modules, with an energy density of 140Wh/kg. The NEDC comprehensive cruising range of the dual-motor model is 550km, and that of the single-motor model is 605km, which is BYD’s first pure electric vehicle with a cruising range of more than 600km.
The Han DM equipped with dual-mode three-engine four-wheel drive system retains the traditional grille design in the front face, and the hexagonal large mouth grille looks full of gas.
In terms of power, Han DM is equipped with a 2.0T engine with a maximum power of 141kW(192 HP) and a permanent magnet synchronous motor with a maximum power of 180kW(245 HP), with a combined total power of 321kW and a maximum speed of 185 km/h. The power battery continues to use ternary materials, and the pure electric cruising range is 81km.
Editor’s summary: Compared with the news that the official pre-sale price of 290,000 yuan and the high distribution of online transmission will be around 330,000 yuan, the official pre-sale price released by BYD this time has given many potential users a reassurance. Add in BYD’s usual pricing, which will be slightly lower after the official listing, and the final price of Han may be pleasantly surprised.
As a model with the front PK of Tesla Model 3 and Tucki P7, BYD Han is the finale, and has a subsequent advantage in pricing (not counting Tesla’s leek-cutting pricing strategy). And there are as many as eight models in the price range of Tucki P7 from 229,900 to 349,900 yuan, which is a bit messy to tell the truth. BYD is more mature and advanced in brand and technology than Tucki. Although it is not as hot as Tesla, Han, who is positioned as a B-class car, is definitely better than Model 3 in practicality and space. We are still looking forward to Hanergy bringing some changes to BYD in 2020.
