In recent years, the domestic independent new energy market has flourished, and major independent automobile brands have spared no effort to deliver better products to the market and users. In addition to good products, BYD is the first echelon of independent new energy brands, and major brands are also actively developing their own sub-brands and expanding them to compete for sales shares in various market segments.
Speaking of BYD, everyone must know it. From the price range of 100,000 to the million-level, it has corresponding sub-brands and product lines. Dynasty, Ocean, Formula Leopard, Yangwang, the breadth of its involvement is indeed staggering. Among these sub-brands or sequences, Ocean Network's models have great advantages over its peers in terms of technology and quality, especially in terms of price, which is more affordable. The recently launched Haibao 06DM-i and Haishi 07EV are also becoming more and more popular. Today we also conducted a simple test drive experience for these two models. Next, I will talk to you about these two popular models from the user's perspective. If I were to choose, it would be difficult for me to choose.
BYD Seal 06DM-i
BYD's three-electric technology is said to be powerful, but in fact its hybrid technology is even more powerful. In the era of energy, the fuel economy of a car, or whether it is fuel-efficient, has become one of the key issues that users consider when buying a car. One of the main highlights of BYD Haibao 06DM-i is that it is the world's first fifth-generation DM technology. The official claims that the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers can be as low as 2.9L, and the comprehensive range of full fuel and full power is 2100km. This is great news for friends who care about fuel consumption.
Next, let's talk about the appearance. Since it is a model sold by Haiyang.com, the Haibao 06DM-i must have adopted a new marine aesthetic design that combines exquisite fashion, youth and sports, and its appearance is also deeply loved by young users. Especially when viewed from the front, the entire front face looks like it is flying with wings spread out, and the light group and front bumper shape also create a happy smiley face. If you look closely, it really looks like a seal.
The side of the car body also adopts a relatively rounded and streamlined shape. On the one hand, it looks like the bionic body of marine animals, and on the other hand, it can greatly reduce the wind resistance coefficient. It is reported that with the addition of the active air intake grille and the streamlined body curve, the wind resistance coefficient of the whole car is only 0.255cd, which is a very excellent performance.
In terms of body size, the vehicle is 4830*1875*1495mm in length, width and height respectively, and the wheelbase is 2790mm, reaching the category of mid-size sedans. In addition, it also provides four body colors: Leqin Sea Green, Warm Smoky Tea, Atlantis Gray, and Snow White. These are all colors that young people prefer.
The design of the rear part is also very fashionable, including the use of a through-type Chinese taillight group, which has a smoked black effect as a whole. The pattern inside is also very recognizable, which is different from the BYD seal. At the same time, the "BYD" LOGO on the rear of the car is also designed to be luminous, which is still very beautiful when lit at night.
In terms of interior, the Haibao 06DM-i also uses the latest design language of the Haiwang.com model, with a simple-looking interior. The physical buttons of important functions are retained, which is very different from the pure new power models. I personally find it very easy to use. There is no need to worry about the interior workmanship and materials, which are at the mainstream level of the same level. The interior accessories are available in two colors: deep obsidian black and light sand gray, which are extremely comfortable.
The 15.6-inch central control screen still adopts a rotatable design, which is the mainstream size in the current brand, and is equipped with the DiLink intelligent network system, and the overall processing speed is very fast. The UI design of the entire interface is also consistent with the existing models, and supports mobile phone interconnection, online entertainment, voice interaction, OTA upgrades, etc. The ease of use has been tested by the market for many years. If you have hands-on ability, you can also perform DIY modifications.
In terms of riding comfort and space performance, the Haibao 06DM-i has reached the standards of a mid-size luxury car. The overall comfort of the front seats is relatively high, and the integrated seat design provides satisfactory support for the waist. The waist and leg wings are also as good as before. The pure white seats are made of skin-friendly materials. Multiple electric adjustments plus ventilation and heating functions make it easier to adjust in winter and summer.
In terms of intelligent driving, the DiPilot intelligent driving assistance system appeared on the test drive model, and the overall usability was still very high. Of course, this is just an automatic driving assistance function, and you still need to concentrate if you drive long distances.
BYD Hiace 07EV
Compared with the Haibao 06DM-i, the Haishi 07EV should be regarded as a brand new member in the Haiyang family. At the same time, it is also the first model under the Haiyang IP series of BYD Haiyang. The car is currently on the market, with a total of 4 versions, including the 550 standard version, the 610 long-range version, the 610 Zhihang version and the 550 4WD Zhihang version, with an official guide price of 189,800-239,800 yuan. The model tested this time is the 610 Zhihang version.
In terms of appearance, the Hiace 07EV also continues the Ocean family's marine aesthetic fashion design, which is created by the design team led by BYD's global styling director Wolfgang Egger. Based on the sensational Ocean X concept car, BYD Hiace 07EV further strengthens the family concept of the Ocean series.
The headlights of the Sea Lion 07EV adopt the family-style Haiyue double U suspension design, with a sharp overall shape. The daytime running lights that light up in sequence are full of ritual. Inside the lamp cavity is a double U-shaped suspended LED light-emitting component. The length and width of the LED lens are only 100mm×15mm. The industry-leading ultra-flat ratio makes the overall headlight more slender and has a strong sense of technology. The light strip is evenly textured after lighting.
The Sea Lion 07EV has an elegant body contour, with a smooth roof line that naturally sweeps back and sinks, and is integrated with the Chilang smart tail wing, combined with the natural posture of the D-pillar, presenting a coupe-like curve. The chrome decoration starting from the A-pillar sweeps back along the roof arc, strengthening this feature, and forming a large area of metallic color decoration in the D-pillar triangular window area, presenting a three-dimensional sense of the triangular window area by planing.
In addition, the Sea Lion 07 EV also uses huge wheel eyebrows, which visually balances the proportions of the body, makes the front and rear overhangs look shorter, highlights the elegant style of the overall design, and adds a bit of wild beauty to the SUV. The Sea Lion 07 EV is available in four body colors: Sky Purple, Aurora White, Atlantis Gray, and Xuankong Black.
The rear of the vehicle has full lines, and the sloping roofline looks very sporty. Coupled with the small black spoiler, this SUV model is extremely sporty.
The interior of the Sea Lion 07 EV is eye-catching. The interior color scheme is Sardine Coral Orange and Tamas Black. The interior of the model we tested this time is Sardine Coral Orange. When you enter the car, you will feel a special passion. The workmanship and materials of the interior are completely designed to be more luxurious and comparable to higher-end models.
The towering instrument panel and the enveloping cockpit atmosphere make the driver feel completely safe. The metal decorative panel extends naturally to both sides, passes through the hollow structure at both ends of the instrument panel, and is integrated into the decorative shape of the door panel, strengthening the overall design sense of the interior.
There is still a lot of storage space under the sub-dashboard, and multiple charging holes for electronic devices are provided. Three fragrance holes are also designed here. The texture of the metal and piano paint above the sub-dashboard is very prominent and very textured. The single 50W mobile phone fast charging panel and NFC sensing area have a certain tilt angle, which makes it very convenient to take items.
The car still uses BYD's easy-to-use and open DiLink intelligent network connection system, which has a rich built-in APP and supports 4-zone intelligent voice recognition. The 15.6-inch rotatable PAD screen also maximizes the sense of technology. In addition, the test drive model also provides anti-fatigue monitoring, face recognition, Dynaudio sound system, 128-color ambient light and AR-HUD head-up display and other advanced configurations. It is worth mentioning that the Sea Lion 07EV is the first model of the Ocean Network equipped with the Eye of God's advanced intelligent driving assistance system. It has reached the industry-leading L2+ advanced intelligent assisted driving.
In terms of riding comfort, the front and rear seats are made of leather seats with moderate hardness and good wrapping, and the whole car seat is heated and ventilated, and the main driver's three-speed memory function is provided. The rear passengers can also control it independently.
In terms of storage space, the Hiace 07EV provides up to 21 storage spaces, and the rear seats can be completely folded forward and laid flat, so the trunk volume is very large, and the flexible layout is conducive to family travel. The Hiace 07EV also provides a large front trunk, which is actually rare in BYD's models.
In terms of power parameters, it is equipped with BYD's world's first high-efficiency 12-in-1 intelligent electric drive system, which integrates drive motor, reducer, drive motor controller, vehicle controller (VCU), battery manager (BMC), high and low voltage DC converter (DC-DC), etc. It also uses the world's highest mass-produced motor with a speed of 23,000rpm, and the entire series is equipped with 1200V silicon carbide electronic control, which brings the performance of the electric drive system to a new height. The high-efficiency 12-in-1 intelligent electric drive system of the Sea Lion 07EV has a more compact structure, and the energy conversion efficiency of the whole vehicle is higher. The comprehensive working efficiency of the system is up to 92%, especially in daily urban driving, the cruising range can be increased by 50km.
The blade battery is combined with BYD's world-first intelligent terminal fast charging technology, which intelligently controls the pulse charging current, applies negative pulse discharge while charging with a large current, reduces concentration polarization, and increases the terminal charging current, shortening the terminal charging time from 30 minutes to 18 minutes, greatly improving the fast charging experience.
In terms of dynamic driving, the Sea Lion 07EV is quite large, but it accelerates very quickly. The maximum output power of the motor of the 610 Zhihang version tested is 230kW, and the maximum torque is 380Nm. The power performance is excellent. Even in the standard mode, the accelerator pedal opening and closing angle does not need to be too large to get a good acceleration feeling. In addition, the car can make detailed adjustments to the steering force, shock absorption mode, acceleration and other parameters to meet the needs of users with different driving styles.
The Sea Lion 07EV adopts the configuration of front double wishbone and rear five-link independent suspension, and the four-wheel drive version also provides Yunni-C technology. In fact, during the entire driving process, the overall stability of the vehicle is remarkable. Whether passing through speed bumps or merging at high speed, this suspension can hold and the chassis performance will not be loose.
The kinetic energy recovery force provides two optional levels: standard and larger feedback. In standard mode, after releasing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle's dragging feeling is not very strong. If used properly in normal times, it can be predicted to reduce the burden on braking.
Summary:Today's test drive of the Hiace 07EV was not long, but I still felt the excellent intelligence and technology reflected in BYD's new models. Only by conforming to the needs of current consumers can we truly win the market and win the trust of consumers. As a Song PLUS owner, I even have the urge to change my car.
