As the leading third-party automobile quality evaluation platform in China, Chezhi.com has launched the "New Car Merchandising Evaluation" column based on a large number of automobile product test samples and scientific data models. Every month, senior evaluators use professional equipment to conduct systematic testing and evaluation on several models on sale within two years of domestic launch and with a mileage of no more than 5,000 kilometers, through objective data and subjective feelings, to comprehensively display and analyze the overall commodity level of new cars in the domestic automobile market to provide consumers with objective and true opinions when purchasing vehicles.
The Dynasty series models can be said to be indispensable for BYD's current outstanding results. In order to welcome the advent of the electrification era, BYD not only boldly gave up pure fuel powertrains, but also created a new Ocean Series model to cater for this move. In fact, the Marine series is also divided into two product lines, one is a pure electric model named after marine life, and the other is a gasoline-electric hybrid model named after a battleship. The protagonist of this article is the BYD Destroyer 05, the first model of the latter's warship series. So, can its commercial performance of new cars be as reassuring as that of the Dynasty series? This issue of "New Car Commercial Evaluation" will restore a real 2022 BYD Destroyer 05 through the two dimensions of objective data and subjective feelings.
1. Objective data
This project mainly evaluates the new car’s body workmanship, paint film level, interior air quality, vibration and noise, parking radar, lighting/visibility, etc. 12 The field test of each project provides an all-round and intuitive display of the commercial performance of the new car in the form of objective data.
In the body process testing process, 10 key parts of the entire vehicle were selected, and 3 key points were selected for each key part for measurement to evaluate the uniformity of the gaps in each key part. Judging from the test results, the average gap data of most test points of the 2022 BYD Destroyer 05 is at a relatively low level. Among them, the smallest gap value is located at the connection between the right rear door and the right rear fender, while the largest gap value is located at the connection between the left front fender and the left front door panel, where the highest gap value reaches 4.2mm. In addition, there is a large difference in the average data directly between the rear doors and rear fenders on both sides of the Destroyer 05, which shows that there is still room for improvement in body craftsmanship.
In the paint film level test, the test results can be found that the average thickness of the paint film of the 2022 BYD Destroyer 05 is approximately 145.4 μm, exceeding the standard value for high-end cars. Judging from the test data of various key parts, the paint film thickness values ??at the test points on the left and right sides of the trunk are higher than those in the middle part. It can be seen that the uniformity of the paint film spraying is average. The same problem also occurs on the left rear fender. In addition, the average paint film thickness and paint film spray uniformity of the remaining test points performed well.
In the in-car air quality test, the vehicle was placed in an internal ground parking lot with fewer vehicles. No formaldehyde was detected in the 2022 BYD Destroyer 05 car, and the content of inhalable particulate matter was also low. Lower, in line with the "Passenger Vehicle Interior Air Quality Evaluation Guidelines" (National Standards of the People's Republic of China GB/ T 27630-2011).
In the static noise test session, the actual measured noise value inside the car of the 2022 BYD Destroyer 05 was 30dB in a stationary state, which reached the lowest value of the test instrument. At the same time, because the car uses a plug-in gasoline-electric hybrid system, it will enter a pure electric drive state after starting the vehicle, and the engine will not start, so the noise value is the same as in the static state, 30dB. In addition, it should be noted that due to the hybrid system, the noise at 2000rpm and 3000rpm cannot be tested.
In the air-conditioning noise test, first place the test instrument about 10cm away from the air outlet of the air conditioner, then increase the air volume of the air conditioner from small to large, and measure the driver's position at different gears noise value. After actual testing, the air conditioning adjustment of the 2022 BYD Destroyer 05 is divided into 7 levels. When the highest gear is turned on, the measured noise value is 67.5dB, which is within the range that the human body can tolerate. Compared with the tested models of the same level, the noise value is obviously biased. Low.
After actual testing, in the idling state, because the engine of the 2022 BYD Destroyer 05 does not start, the vibration in the car is very slight. There was no vibration data measured on the steering wheel in either state. At the same time, the test data of the front/rear seats in the two states were always relatively close. The actual body feeling was not obvious, and the impact on the comfort of the occupants in the car was minimal. .
In addition, we also tested parking radar, lighting/visibility, control system, tires and wheels, sunroof, seats, and trunk. After actual testing, the seats of the 2022 BYD Destroyer 05 are softly padded and the ride feels comfortable. At the same time, the visual field test results of the front and side exterior mirrors in the car also performed well. However, although the steering wheel of this car can be manually adjusted in four directions, the adjustable range is not large, and there are only two front radars. Obstacles near the center cannot be identified, which poses a safety hazard.
2. Subjective feelings
This project is subjectively evaluated by multiple reviewers based on the actual static and dynamic performance of the new car. Among them, the static aspect includes four parts: exterior, interior, space and human-computer interaction; the dynamic aspect includes five parts: acceleration, braking, steering, driving experience and driving safety. Finally, a total score is given based on the subjective evaluation opinions given by the reviewers to reflect the actual commercial performance of the new car from the perspective of subjective feelings.
In the external experience evaluation, all 2022 BYD Destroyer 05 series tested this time are equipped with LED light source headlights as standard, and have an automatic headlight function, and the brightness and range of the illumination are very ideal. At the same time, keyless entry/start and NFC key functions are also standard for the entire series, but the mechanical key lock hole is an exposed design. Although the convenience is impeccable, it slightly affects the overall appearance.
In addition, in terms of engine compartment opening, internal layout and configuration of the engine compartment, the engine compartment cover of the 2022 BYD Destroyer 05 is still a manual support rod. The opening operation requires pulling the handle in the car and then turning the engine. The switch in front of the hatch cover can be operated by flipping it up, which is a bit cumbersome. At the same time, the engine compartment cover is also equipped with sound insulation and heat insulation cotton, which is of moderate size and can effectively prevent the high temperature of the engine from affecting the car paint.
In the interior, the 2022 BYD Destroyer 05 adopts a symmetrical center console layout, which is officially called the "marine aesthetics" design concept. The materials used are relatively ordinary, with only the top using soft materials, and the rest All are made of hard plastic material. The suspended full LCD instrument and the oversized rotatable central control screen have appeared on many BYD models. The 15.6-inch multimedia touch screen is exclusive to the top model, with a screen-to-body ratio of up to 83%, and the visual effect is very stunning. In addition, there is room for improvement in the workmanship of the car. For example, the decoration on the A-pillar has signs of cracking and shaking. It cannot be ruled out that it is due to the individual reasons of the test drive.
In terms of seating space, the 2022 BYD Destroyer 05 has ample front and rear space margins, and the bulge in the middle platform of the rear row is not obvious, which can ensure the riding comfort of the people in the car.
In terms of multimedia system, the 2022 BYD Destroyer 05 is equipped with the latest DiLink (5G) intelligent network connection system, which runs smoothly, has a clean and simple interface UI, and is highly personalized, operating like a tablet. , supports a large number of third-party apps. The built-in intelligent voice assistant has a high recognition rate and supports personalized naming and multiple hardware control functions such as window lifting and air conditioning temperature adjustment.
