Recall that a few years ago, the mid-size sedan market was almost the world of joint venture brands, and Accord and Magotan were unavoidable choices. In recent years, with the rise of new energy brands led by BYD, new energy vehicles with "the same price of oil and electricity" and a comprehensive product power leading fuel vehicles have gradually become the first choice for more people.
Earlier, BYD brought this advantage to the mid-size sedan market and launched the Seal DM-i, which sold more than 10,000 units in just two months, seizing the market share of joint venture fuel vehicles. So what kind of strength can the Seal DM-i stand on the market as a new benchmark for mainstream mid-size sedans?
A new benchmark in space
The most important thing in the mid-size sedan market is space, and the mainstream joint venture brand mid-size sedan in terms of body size is about 4880mm in length and 2800mm in wheelbaseThe body length of the Seal DM-i is 4980mm and the wheelbase is 2900mm, so in terms of the enjoyment of the interior space, the Seal DM-i can give you the enjoyment of leapfrogging.
Secondly, the ride in the car does not have any problems with the high platform due to the new energy vehicle, and compared with most fuel vehicles, the rear platform of the seal DM-i is almost flat, and the three people are not crowded. In addition, the trunk space is very large, in other words, you can enjoy the advantages of the DM-i hybrid system without taking up the space in the car to fit the battery like a joint venture brand or even a hybrid car.
A new generation of interiors for Ocean Net
The interior design of the Seal DM-i also gives you a far superior experience to the mid-size sedan of the joint venture brand. In the past, models of this level were more practical, with a relatively simple design and more general materials.
The interior of the seal DM-i is wrapped in leather wherever you can touch it, and even the center console is made of soft leather, in addition to imitation suede and rose wood grain trim panels, the cabin is comparable to 300,000 luxury brand models.
The design uses a new generation of interior of Ocean Net, and the model with embedded LCD instrument panel has a strong sense of hierarchy. The instrument panel incorporates the "wave rhythm" design elements of the ocean**, and cooperates with the interior atmosphere lights to give you a refreshing feeling.
A new superhybrid midsize vehicle platform has been built
Most of the joint venture brand B-segment cars at this price point use a four-link suspension structure, and a few even use semi-independent suspension. But the Seal DM-i, built on the new superhybrid midsize platform, already gives you a rear five-link independent suspension with a 5-turn radius6m。
One of the biggest benefits of the rear five-link independent suspension is that it can bring better handling stability and comfort, and it can be greatly improved in terms of shock filtration and NVH. In the past, if you want to buy a rear five-link independent suspension model, it is usually more than 300,000.
Fully upgraded DILilink intelligent network system
As a new energy model, intelligent performance is also valued by young users, which is also BYD's strength all along. The Seal DM-i is equipped with the DILink intelligent network connection system, which has been developed and upgraded with the same source as the DENZA N7, with a more intelligent voice interaction experience, the central control UI has been redesigned, the map and wallpaper dual desktops can be switched at will, and the menu logic is more concise. It is also equipped with a 6nm 5G chip, which further improves performance, and also has a new personalized cockpit and 3D car control functions, bringing more convenience to users.
The high-end model is equipped with a W-HUD head-up display function, which can project information such as speed, navigation information, Bluetooth** and other information onto the windshield vision, and the performance of the sense of science and technology will be better.
In addition, there are many details that are also very technological, such as the unlocking method, which uses a full-scene digital key, whether it is Android or Apple mobile phones, it can be unlocked through NFC.
It can be oiled or electric, DM-i super hybrid system
In terms of powertrain, the Seal DM-I has 15l and 1The 5T plug-in hybrid engine has a pure electric range of 121 km and 200 km under NEDC mode.
The most cost-effective is worth recommending: 15L 121km version. Don't look at it only 1The engine has a displacement of 5L, but the motor power reaches 145kW, which is stronger than many mainstream joint venture mid-size cars. Coupled with the characteristics of zero delay of the motor, the overall acceleration feeling is very strong, and the official acceleration of 100 kilometers only takes 82 seconds, comparable to many 20t engine performance.
With the blessing of the DM-i system, the comprehensive range of the Seal DM-i can even exceed 1300 kilometers when fully charged, and even if you do not have charging conditions at home, its official fuel consumption is only 39L 100km, these are great advantages brought by technological progress.
