In 2024, there must be one word indispensable for new energy vehicles: volume. Compared with the "volume" between peers, BYD's internal "volume" is different and very interesting. The upgrade of 24 dolphins has been completed, and the yuan UP** is about to be listed, one is a four-link and the other is CTB, and the two BYD brothers of Dynasty Ocean have fought first.
BYD Dolphin, since its launch in 2021, has an unexpected explosion in sales, and has now become the handle of 100,000 yuan level cars, ranking second in sales in the field of small cars, second only to the little brother Seagull, which is also an ocean network, with stable monthly sales of 20,000 or 30,000 units, completely crushing joint venture brand fuel vehicles such as Fit and Volkswagen Polo. In the same level of new energy models, even if there are strong competitors such as Volkswagen ID3, the Dolphin is still far ahead. However, despite the booming sales, the Dolphin also has a serious shortcoming, that is, the chassis configuration.
Before the launch of the 24 model, the chassis configuration of the Dolphin has been criticized, and the suspension of the torsion beam has been ridiculed many times as an old man's music level, and many consumers have rejected the Dolphin because of this, which has affected the sales of the Dolphin to a certain extent. But now, with the 24 dolphins gradually entering the major 4S stores, the dolphin that has been upgraded to a four-link independent suspension has skyrocketed, and the main competitor Volkswagen ID3 has lost the only advantage of benchmarking dolphins.
So the question is, will the dolphin be alone in the market in the future? The answer is obviously no, first of all, competing models such as the Volkswagen ID3 will not be tied up, and secondly, BYD's internal "volume". On the occasion of the upcoming launch of the 24 Dolphins, BYD Dynasty will launch a small SUV in the near future, and this new car will become the main competitor of the Dolphin in the future, which is the much-anticipated Yuan UP. Compared to the Dolphin, the Yuan UP does not have a four-link but has CTB technology, which gives it an advantage over the Dolphin, and this technology also makes the Dolphin very envious.
Ocean Net's Dolphin has a four-link and Dynasty Net's Meta UP has CTB technology. The future goal of Yuan UP is to surpass the Dolphin, and the goal of the Dolphin is not to be surpassed by the Yuan UP.
