If it is the general trend that young people gradually become the main consumer, then it is a concrete projection of this social phenomenon that young models gradually become the mainstream of the market. Especially in recent years, in China, almost all models are promoting themselves to stand with young people, and new energy vehicles are even more radical. It seems that one second they are concept cars, and the next they can be sold offline.

In such a market environment, although the China brand has occupied the home court advantage closer to the local market, it is rare to cross the river by feeling the stones when facing the younger generation in China. As the latest masterpiece of BYD e-platform 3.0, the birth of Yuan PLUS has caused a huge topic from the very beginning. From hardware to software, from design to cost performance, it can be regarded as the vanguard of joint venture brands. This test drive experience, see if you can make friends with young people.

Abandon the "arms race" and make the texture more popular.

Every time I talk about electric vehicles, I always expect the parameters. After all, the world of electric vehicles is still in the technical climbing period, and "digital advantage" is still the marketing core that determines success or failure. But in this respect, BYD's choice is relatively conservative. Yuan PLUS is equipped with front motors of 150kW and 310n m, which is a complete set of eight-in-one electric drive system.

The core of this power system is not that it has the performance comparable to that of a 2.0T engine, nor that the motor itself outputs the maximum torque from zero, but that it has super-high integration. It integrates driving motor, motor controller, reducer, vehicle charger, DC converter, distribution box, vehicle controller and battery manager, which can be regarded as a deeper integration of traditional three-in-one electric drive and five-in-one electric drive, with smaller volume and heavier weight. In other words, as long as BYD wants to, it is not impossible to launch a dual-motor version in the future.

But jumping out of the imagination of the future and focusing on the current experience, the dynamic performance of Meta PLUS is also remarkable. After all, this power reserve is enough to drop most vehicles on the road in seconds. The acceleration of 7.3s can't be said to be fast, and many familiar small steel cannons are tied, which was unimaginable in the past fuel car era. When driving in ECO mode, you feel very light when accelerating, so it is not a problem to deal with daily traffic. Exercise mode is more like a small pill to adjust life, which brings people passion when necessary and can satisfy the purest driving pleasure.

As for the problem of high-speed re-acceleration that everyone is more concerned about, to be honest, it should not be the home of electric vehicles. At first, I didn't expect too much from Yuanjia, so I passed a cart without much effort. However, the re-acceleration of 100km/h is acceptable, except that the "ejection" at relatively low speed is not so sharp, but if we insist on comparison, it is similar to the re-acceleration of 1.5T and 1.4T, which is a step lower. To be honest, there is really nothing wrong with using an electric car for daily traffic.

As a result of abandoning the parameter "arms race", BYD has put a lot of effort into the driving quality of Yuan PLUS. In this regard, we have witnessed the progress of this car company in chassis adjustment in the past few years. The technology of Hans Kirk, a former Mercedes-Benz chassis expert, can't be underestimated, but it is more the result of China brand's open-minded learning and continuous improvement.

Specific to Yuan PLUS, "texture" is the most discussed key word in this group of media people, which proves that the chassis orientation of Yuan PLUS can satisfy our keen appetite for seeing thousands of cars. First of all, the steering wheel is moderate in size and has a light steering feeling. There will be a little empty position in the middle position, but it will not affect the directivity and accuracy, and it will not be tight. The steering strength does not show different personality with the mode switching, but it can be applied to men, women and children in general.

It is worth mentioning that the quality of the whole suspension system can be said to have surpassed most joint venture vehicles with the same price, and it can also be regarded as an excellent student in the increasingly involuted China brand camp. What's more, there are many competing products with the same price at the stage of hanging torsion beams, and controlling the cost guarantee space is the primary consideration. BYD is kind, and the adjustment style of multi-link rear suspension is compact and solid. With the good fit of the whole chassis and the grip of 18 inch tires, you can easily develop the confidence of the hatchback on a compact SUV.

From the passenger's point of view, Yuan PLUS also takes good care of comfort. First of all, the chassis with strong integrity itself can bring a sense of high quality, and it will not be at a loss in the face of the bad road with fine vibration, but will calmly deal with it, soft and without aftershocks. In the scene of the driver attacking the corner at high speed, passengers will not feel the obvious roll of the car body, and the overall posture is quite stable. This humanized high-quality chassis adjustment is worthy of BYD's new fine tradition.

The dragon's face is pleasing to the eye and its vitality is multiplied.

If we personify the major brands in the bicycle circle and chat in the same WeChat group, then the topic that causes BYD to express strongly will definitely be inseparable from "design". Compared with the driving texture mentioned above, the progress in design is more easily perceived by consumers. From "shanzhai" to "originality" and then to "sui generis", it took BYD only six or seven years to catch up. Now Dragon Face 3.0 has become more and more mature, and the use of detailed elements has become familiar, which not only makes people unforgettable, but also has the ability to leave classics in the long river of time.

From the appearance of Meta PLUS, the pursuit of flattening Dragon Face 3.0 has brought a wider visual effect to this compact SUV. While ensuring the concise effect, it also controls the vertical level without being too complicated. The iconic penetrating metal decorative strip is not absent, and the "Yuan" logo in Xiao Zhuan also has a backlight display effect. With the dragon beard light bars on both sides and the penetrating light bar below, it has a breathing light effect when lit, like a waking little dragon, lifelike.

Compared with the hero's DM series, without the exaggerated big mouth net, Yuan PLUS from EV will naturally go further in refinement. Young people want a sporty atmosphere, and the big black air intake on the outside is arranged like this. Young people want a dynamic shape, and the hatchback body design can also meet it. The personality elements that young people want, the gradual change of the position of C-pillar and the decorative board of Longlin are all full of recognition. Yuan PLUS, a penetrating headlight that young people like, is not only in short supply, but also shows the visual effect of flying feathers through the minimized luminous elements, especially at night.

Compared with the design, the interior of Yuan PLUS is actually talked about by people in the industry. Michele Paganetti is bold and innovative, taking the vitality of young people as the theme, and integrating the gym and musical instruments that best represent this theme into every design. It is difficult to find any big straight line in the cockpit. The rounded silhouette and curve show the most vivid sense of muscle, and the touch is also very skin-friendly, indicating that the material is still the same.

In addition, the echo of detail elements to the theme is everywhere. Here are a few simple examples: the air outlet of the air conditioner resembles a barbell weight plate, the central island platform is inspired by a treadmill, the door handle has a visual sense, the electronic stop lever is inspired by a thrust lever, the storage compartments of the door panel are separated by strings, and even different tones can be dialed ... These very ingenious details are all designed in the past. It is difficult to find a systematic theme guidance in the products of China brand, which shows that China brand has jumped out of the innovation stage of "doing something unconventional" and has its own observation and thinking when designing, which is quite beneficial for us to create a young fashion trend with China cultural characteristics in the future.

For the configuration that consumers are very concerned about, many people have summed up a sentence-"You can always trust BYD in terms of cost performance", so it is better to do what you can according to your own budget. However, it should be noted that if you are a new human who needs intelligent driving assistance very much and looks at major screen cars very much, then our suggestion is to choose a brainless top model to ensure that all aspects can be arranged clearly for you. However, if you are sensitive to the budget and just need users for travel, the medium and low allocation of 5 10km battery life is enough for daily use, and the space is not bad. As a balanced choice, it is difficult to pick out anything.

The test drive experience is not long, but I have been right since the auto show started.
