When it comes to the small car market, many people may think of the BYD Seagull and Dolphin. But when it comes to the small SUV market, I don't know what popular models you can think of. A few years ago, you might still think of Honda's Binzhi and XR-V, but after the arrival of the electric era, the sales of these two products have shown a trend. Just when the market is becoming chaotic, the BYD Yuan UP appeared, and the new car is based on the BYD E platform 30 and equipped with Level 2 driver assistance systems. The new model is expected to go on sale in March this year.
The exterior of the new car is quite different from that of the Dynasty series, especially in terms of the front face. The headlights are connected to the grille, which has a relatively straight shape, and the closed grille is flanked by air intake decoration, and below the grille is a symmetrical air intake.
The body is more angular than other Gen series products, and the pillars are blackened and the roof is suspended. In addition, the door handles are semi-concealed, which not only reduces wind resistance, but also allows the doors to be opened from the outside.
At the rear, the "Chinese knot" runs through the taillights and is embellished with silver trim strips at the bottom, and the rear surround forms a three-section effect.
In terms of interior, the new car basically continues the family design style, but there are more adjustments in details. For example, the electronic gear lever has been replaced with a crystal pattern, and the interior door handles and trim near the window buttons have a polygonal design. In addition, the screen layout and button layout of the new car are basically similar to BYD's family style.
In terms of configuration, except for the front 88-inch LCD instrument cluster and 12In addition to the 8-inch central control screen, the new car will also provide L2 level assisted driving functions, panoramic sunroof, electric adjustment of the main and passenger seats, and other functions.
In terms of dimensions, the length, width and height of the Yuan UP are 4310 1830 1675mm, and the wheelbase is 2620mm. The overall data is basically in line with the positioning of small cars.
In terms of power, the new car is based on the E platform 30 and available in two power versions, with a maximum power of 70kW and 130kW. The battery capacity will be divided into 32kWh and 4512kWh, corresponding to a range of 301 km and 401 km, respectively.
The small car market is on fire driven by dolphins and seagulls, but the small SUV market is relatively modest. The top three models in terms of sales are all fuel products, although there are several new energy products in the market, but the sales are decent. For example, Wuling Xingchi, Geely Geometry E, and the joint venture product Honda E:NS1, among them, Wuling's new energy products only exist in Hongguang MINI EV and Binguo, and the performance of other models is relatively average. Geely is focusing on the three major sectors of Galaxy, Lynk & Co, and Extreme Krypton, and as for the geometric series of products, Geely no longer seems to want to invest too much cost in it. Honda's new energy products are far less important in the market than their fuel products. Therefore, on the whole, the electrical field of the small car market still has great potential for development.
BYD has rebuilt this Yuan UP, and its purpose is also very obvious, that is, to develop the small SUV market. If the first aspect can be rolled up, I believe that BYD Yuan UP still has a chance to hit the top three in sales.
