Starting from 170,000, 650km battery life +800V+ lidar! This BYD is chosen like this

Before, we talked about how to buy BYD Seal 07 DM-i model and how to choose the most suitable configuration model. So today, let’s talk about how we should make a choice in the pure electric version of the new BYD seal.

How to choose the power?

In terms of the new BYD seal, a total of four models were launched, with the price of 175.8-239.8 million yuan, with three kinds of power and three kinds of battery life.

Among them, the entry-level model is equipped with a 170kW single motor, which has a pure battery life of 510km and an acceleration of 6.5 seconds per 100 km. On the top model, it is equipped with a 390kW dual-motor system, with a pure battery life of 600km and an acceleration of 3.8 seconds per 100 km.

Then, in the middle of the two configuration models, it is equipped with a single motor of 230kW, and it has a battery life of 650km and an acceleration of 5.9 seconds per 100 km.

It’s very simple. If you don’t have too many requirements for battery life and power, but just want to use it for daily transportation and occasionally travel in the countryside, you can consider the entry-level model. And if you want to be better satisfied with power and endurance, and can cope with the use of more scenes, the power in the middle will inevitably be a better choice. On the contrary, you have a high pursuit of power, and if you prefer to enjoy intense driving, those motor-powered top models will be very good partners.

What are the highlights of the new car?

Before making a choice, let’s take a look at the highlights of the new BYD Seal as a redesigned model.

In the design part, the whole car also continues the family-style design, and the biggest change in appearance lies in the brand-new luminous logo on its tail, and the laser radar with watchtower layout is added above the front windshield, which can realize high-speed+urban intelligent driving and reach L2+ driving assistance level, filling the shortcomings of seals in intelligent driving. In addition, the new car adds sky purple appearance color matching and a new style of wheels.

As for the interior part, the "Sardinia Orange" color scheme and a brand-new steering wheel style are added, and the luminous geometric pattern is also equipped in the co-pilot position, which enhances the luxury inside the car. It is worth mentioning that the car is based on BYD e platform 3.0 Evo, and the overall dynamic response and charging efficiency will be improved. For example, it takes only 25 minutes to charge from 10% to 80%.

Which configuration is more suitable?

510 standard edition

Price: 175,800 yuan

Recommended index: ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆.

Let’s look at the entry-level model first. Its overall configuration is quite rich. It is equipped with 18-inch rims, 360 panoramic images, LED matrix headlights, panoramic sunroof, 15.6-inch central control panel, 5G car networking system, 60W wired charging, 50W mobile phone wireless charging, front seat heating/ventilation, L2 DiPilot driver assistance system and so on.

However, it should be noted that this is the only model in the whole system that does not support the 800V platform, so its maximum power for fast charging is only 180kW.

Generally speaking, the pure electric model has a higher threshold, so even the entry-level model has a higher configuration, which is basically equal to the mid-range or even high-range model of the plug-in model, and the configuration in some aspects is even richer. So if you just want to use the vehicle as a means of transportation, it is still a good choice.

650 long battery life version

Price: 189,800 yuan

Recommended index: ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆.

The price has increased by 14,000 yuan, and the car has a 650km battery life. In this version of the car, you can get 19-inch rims, electric induction trunk, trunk position memory, rear privacy glass, rearview mirror reversing automatic rollover, rearview mirror memory, simulated sound waves, car KTV, driver’s seat memory, interior atmosphere lights, and 12-speaker Dana audio. Starting from this configuration, you can also choose silver-plated EC intelligent light.

In addition, the most important thing is the performance of power. For example, the motor power is increased from 170kW to 230kW, the battery capacity is 80.64kWh, and the pure battery life is increased from 510km to 650km. Moreover, from this configuration, an 800V high-voltage platform is installed, and the charging power is also increased from 180kW to 230kW.

Compared with the former, the models with this configuration are obviously much richer in terms of convenience, technology and some playability configurations, especially the endurance of 650km, which can better meet the needs of different scenes. Personally, this configuration is still more recommended.

650 intelligent driving edition

Price: 216,800 yuan

Recommended index: ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆.

The price has increased by 27,000 yuan, and it comes to the high-profile model. It is also equipped with lidar from this configuration.

In terms of details, most of the configurations of this model are basically the same as those of the former. The biggest difference lies in the addition of a laser radar, and at the same time, binocular cameras are used in the front, and the number has increased from 5 to 11. Thanks to the addition of lidar, the car supports intelligent driving in cities and high-speed sections and has the function of traffic light recognition.

In other respects, the steering wheel is changed from leather to leather, and the steering wheel heating, 12-inch HUD head-up display and interior fragrance system are added. In other words, the biggest improvement of this configuration really lies in smart driving. As for whether this 27,000 value is worth it, it depends on how high your demand for smart driving is.

600 four-wheel drive intelligent driving version

Price: 239,800 yuan

Recommended index: ☆☆☆

The price has increased by 23,000 yuan again. The most direct improvement of this model lies in the power, from the single motor rear drive of 230kW to the dual motor four-wheel drive of 390kW, and the acceleration of 100 kilometers has been shortened from 5.9 seconds to 3.8 seconds. But correspondingly, the battery life is adjusted from 650km to 600km with the same battery capacity. At the same time, the model with this configuration is also equipped with i-TAC intelligent torque control system, which will have better performance in handling.

In other parts, the car has been replaced with sports style seats, and the seats are made of suede materials, that’s all. If you don’t have the ultimate pursuit for the power part, then this model may not be a suitable choice for you.

Therefore, among the new BYD Seal models, the most recommended model with the 650km long battery life version is more in line with the needs of mass users, and the price of less than 190,000 is also very reasonable. Secondly, it is recommended to introduce the 510 standard version and the 650 intelligent driving version. The choice of these two models is actually relatively simple. If there is no high requirement for configuration and battery life, it will be more cost-effective to choose the standard version directly, and if you are pursuing intelligent driving, just choose the latter directly.

The editor said:The starting price of 170,000 seems to be slightly high, but in fact, it is reasonable and still quite cost-effective, which is the style that BYD has always been familiar with. Moreover, it is equipped with high-level smart driving on high-profile models, which makes up for BYD’s previous shortcomings in smart driving and narrows the gap with new power brands. As a whole, it is highly competitive. Nowadays, BYD has become a brand that many people can’t avoid buying a car. After that, I believe it will be even more so. In your opinion, will the new BYD Seal become your first choice for buying a car within 200,000 yuan?
