BYD's latest model, which may be named Yuan UP, has recently completed the application procedures, and this car will become a member of BYD's Yuan series. Compared with the current Yuan Pro, Yuan UP will launch a higher-end top-of-the-line version, while the starting price is expected to remain around 100,000, which is relatively close to the people.
As for the launch time of this car, it is expected to be around the second quarter of 2024, which will allow it to enter a highly competitive market environment, competing with models such as Geely Geometry E and Wuling Binguo. But BYD has always had a solid performance in the market, so Yuan UP is expected.
In terms of dimensions, the length of the car reaches 4310 mm, and the wheelbase is 2620 mm, which makes it excellent in terms of space, although it is slightly shorter than the Yuan Pro, but the increase in wheelbase brings more comfort to the passengers in the car. In addition, the Yuan UP adopts a sporty design style, which not only makes the vehicle better in terms of driving experience, but also makes it more dynamic in appearance.
From a design point of view, the Yuan UP adopts a new generation of aesthetic design, highlighting the characteristics of the BYD family. The black trim is widened to make it more symmetrical to the lower bracket, while the slender light clusters and small emblems make it more recognizable. However, compared to the previous design, the Yuan UP adopts a BMW-like kidney-style design on the lower bumper, which adds to the sportiness of the vehicle, but may also make some people feel slightly weird.
In terms of side design, a similar design to the front bumper is adopted in the pedal area, which adds to the overall design feeling. The roof has a floating design with a black-treated A-pillar, which looks very cool from a distance.
In the rear design, in addition to the new family-style taillights, the bottom surround design echoes the front face, making the whole vehicle look more integrated. While the design isn't necessarily immediately appealing, it's full of a unique design that makes it feel like it's a car that has been designed with care.
Although the interior has not yet been decided, it is foreseeable that the Yuan UP will inherit the design language of BYD's new generation. This may include a large floating central control screen, as well as matrix air outlets, and the overall design will remain simple and atmospheric, high-end. In terms of DILINK in-vehicle and intelligent driving systems, it is expected to continue to use existing advanced technologies to provide drivers with a better experience.
In terms of powertrain, Yuanup will offer two motor layouts with different powers, 70 kW and 130 kW. The vehicle will be equipped with a blade battery, although the specific specifications have not yet been announced, but according to the current range performance of the Yuan Pro, the range of the Yuan Up may be between 320 km and 401 km.
On the whole, Yuan UP is a product that BYD has comprehensively upgraded on the basis of Yuan Pro. It has significant improvements in both design and dynamics, and although it is yet to be determined, it promises to be a new model in the market that has attracted a lot of attention from the current situation. BYD has always had a strong strength in the field of electric vehicles, and the launch of Yuan UP will further enrich BYD's product line, provide consumers with more choices, and make people look forward to the future electric vehicle market.
