Speaking of BYD, everyone must be familiar with it, especially after the launch of the "Chinese-style" Dynasty series of models, it has become a popular brand on the market!
BYD Dynasty series models began to be born in 2012. Currently, four dynasty series have been launched, namely "Qin, Tang, Song, and Yuan". Recently, BYD has recently released the fifth dynasty series. The first product - "Han", the car's trailer received widespread attention as soon as it was released. It is reported that the new car is positioned as a coupe. It not only adopts a new design and a new LOGO, but also is full of useful information on new technologies. Below, the editor of Dianju will take you to take a look at this new Dynasty series model in advance.
Adopting the new "Han" LOGO, gathering the "Strong Han and Prosperous Tang Dynasty"
The picture above shows the actual application effect of the "Han" logo officially announced by BYD. As for the design details of the new car It has not been disclosed yet.
Like other LOGOs in the Dynasty series, the new "Han" integrates ancient and modern times in the design of the brand LOGO. The radical "三点水" in the character "Han" is taken from the seal script of the Han Dynasty, and the right The character "you" on the side is designed using modern simplified Chinese characters and seal script fonts. According to the official introduction, the design of the LOGO implies integration and rebirth, indicating that the "Han" model will inherit the accumulation of BYD's Dynasty series and the confidence to open up new fields.
However, as we all know, China has a splendid cultural history of 5,000 years, and its world-famous dynasties are not just the "Strong Han and Prosperous Tang". Therefore, in addition to the currently registered Qin, Tang, Song, Yuan and Han, The Shang, Ming, and Zhou dynasties have also been registered trademarks by BYD, and they may continue to expand their use on its "Dynasty Series" products in the future.
Adopting a new design language and positioning it as a super coupe
At the 2019 Shanghai Auto Show, BYD released the e-SEED GT concept car. Many people speculated that this car was from Han. prototype. However, Juanma Lopez, BYD's global exterior design director, later made it clear that e-SEED GT will not be "Han", but the exterior design of Han will refer to the design elements of e-SEED GT. And e-SEED GT will also become the design benchmark for BYD's next-generation models.
e-SEED?GT
In fact, from the official trailer released by BYD, we can see that the front face design of the new Han model is indeed in the language of e-SEED?GT There are some basic changes. For example, the middle part of the through-type chrome trim strip of the new Han EV is thicker, making it appear thicker and more powerful in terms of visual effects.
However, the new car also continues many of the current BYD Dragon Face family design languages, and has differentiated designs based on the two power versions of "EV" and "DM". First of all, considering that Han EV is a pure electric vehicle and does not have the heat dissipation requirements of a fuel engine, in terms of appearance and structure, Han EV adopts the "EV Dragon Face" closed front face shape, which has a stronger sense of technology. At the same time, the Han EV headlight set uses LED matrix headlights similar to the current BYD Tang. Combined with the slightly shovel-shaped front lip, the new car looks more dynamic and majestic.
Different from the Han EV, the Han DM adopts the "Dragon Face 2.0" family design language, with sharp LED headlights, "dragon whiskers" extending from the car logo to both sides, and The hexagonal large-mouth grille and other combinations have distinctive family characteristics. The aerodynamic design of the air guide structures on both sides of the grille not only improves the visual recognition, but also strengthens the three-dimensional feel of the grille.
From the side part of the body, you can see that the car adopts a fastback style design, and the overall size is obviously more slender than the current Qin Pro, which is positioned as a compact car.
In addition, according to the exposed pictures, it can be seen that the new Han model also adopts a hidden door handle design, which makes the side of the vehicle not only look simpler, but also smoother.
In the rear part of the car, the new Han adopts through-type taillights, and the words "BUILD?YOUR?DREAMS" are not missing. This is also the current BYD family-style taillight design.
The interior still adopts family design, with a stronger sense of luxury
From the interior design manuscript released by BYD, we can see that the overall design of the new car still adopts the current family design language, and It adopts an enveloping design style and uses metal, glossy paint, leather stitching, wood grain veneer and other techniques to significantly improve the sense of luxury.
In addition, the details, such as the shape of the steering wheel, the metal sound mask on the door panels, the central armrest area, etc. all have a certain Mercedes-Benz style. Of course, this is not surprising at all. After all, Mercedes-Benz and BYD have a long-term cooperative relationship on Denza, and these details also add a lot to the vehicle interior.
The wind drag coefficient is only 0.233Cd, surpassing Tesla
At the end of 2019, BYD Han successfully completed the wind tunnel test at the Shanghai Ground Transportation Wind Tunnel Center, and its wind drag coefficient was only 0.233Cd. is 0.233Cd. What concept? It is understood that the officially announced drag coefficients of Geely Geometry A, Xpeng Motors P7, GAC New Energy Aion S, and Tesla Moedl 3 are 0.2375Cd, 0.236Cd, 0.245Cd, and 0.24Cd respectively. There are currently no more than 10 mass-produced cars in the world with a drag coefficient within 0.235. After reaching this level, every 0.001 drop in the drag coefficient means an exponential increase in development difficulty and investment. It can be called an extreme challenge to the cutting-edge R&D capabilities of car companies and the will of the engineering design team.
However, the benefits of a smaller drag coefficient are obvious. Research shows that when a car travels at a speed of 80 kilometers per hour, about 60% of the energy consumption is used to overcome air resistance. Especially for electric vehicles, the impact of wind resistance on energy consumption is more prominent when driving at high speeds. Taking BYD Han as an example, every time the wind resistance coefficient decreases by 0.01, the vehicle's battery life will increase by 8 kilometers. Therefore, from the beginning of the design and development of Han, BYD A strict drag coefficient target was set for it - less than 0.235.
Of course, to achieve this drag coefficient, the design needs to be more refined. In order to achieve this result, Han EV used many special designs, such as aerodynamic rims, water-drop rearview mirrors, hidden door handles and other designs to further reduce wind resistance and optimize the wind resistance coefficient.
Accelerating from 100 kilometers to 100 kilometers in 2.9 seconds, the fastest BYD in history
In terms of power, it is undoubtedly the biggest highlight of the new Han. At present, there is no clearer data on the battery information, power configuration, and battery life of pure electric models. However, I believe that BYD, which has made some achievements in the field of new energy, will not be stingy on such a coupe model. It is extremely promising. Maybe the battery life will be around 600km. After all, there are already independent brands like GAC New Energy that have surpassed the 600km battery life mark.
Of course, in addition to Han EV, Han will also launch a plug-in hybrid version. According to relevant news, the regular version will be equipped with a power system composed of a 2.0T engine and a front axle motor; the performance version will be in On this basis, a rear axle motor is added and equipped with a four-wheel drive system. The acceleration time from 100 kilometers to 100 kilometers only takes 2.9 seconds, making it the fastest BYD in history.
Perhaps what everyone is most concerned about is whether BYD can achieve the 2.9 seconds data? The fact is that the mass-produced Tang's 100-kilometer time is 4.9 seconds, and the top-speed version is 4.5 seconds. Although it is not easy to improve every tenth of a second from 4.5 to 2.9, it is not easy to achieve this because of the addition of the electric system. Not impossible.
Dianju Summary:
Judging from the product information currently exposed, BYD’s All-New Han is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated BYD models in 2020, and is positioned as a coupe flagship model , with an acceleration performance of 100 kilometers that beats many supercars, it can be called the strongest BYD flagship model. It is reported that BYD Han will make its debut at the Beijing Auto Show in April this year, so we might as well look forward to it.
