branch of academic or vocational studyTechnical cockpit, luxury materials
As the flagship model in BYD’s product matrix at present, Hanche has set a new "ceiling" in China’s new energy vehicle market in terms of technology, user reputation and sales performance. From July 2020 to September 2021, BYD’s cumulative sales volume exceeded 120,000, and Han DM (parameter picture) was the champion of medium and large plug-in hybrid cars with a score of 33,200. A few days ago, BYD Han DM’s exploration tour came to Shenzhen. Through the test drive, we found that BYD Han DM can be said to be the most recommended "treasure" player among the 200,000-class models.
Oil+electricity, the price is more expensive?
Before talking about products, we must talk about the price or value first. In our general understanding, the same grade of fuel vehicles will be cheaper than electric vehicles, while the plug-in hybrid vehicles will be more expensive because there are no fewer engines, gearboxes, fuel tanks, batteries, motors and electronic control systems. However, the two models of BYD Han DM are priced at 219,800 yuan and 239,800 yuan respectively, which are more expensive than the entry-level version of Han EV standard endurance version luxury model (209,800 yuan), and it is cheaper than other Han EV versions.
According to the "landing price", the luxury version of the Chinese DM four-wheel drive performance model with tax exemption and vehicle and vessel tax reduction is actually lower than that of the Camry 2021 2.0S Fengshang Edition and the Accord 2022 1.5T+CVT Fantasy Night Premium Edition, but they are not comparable in size, configuration or performance. Therefore, in the face of a strong sense of value, it is not an insurmountable problem to choose independence or joint venture.
The flagship gas field is full, and the Dragon Face is highly recognizable.
Han has been on the market for a year, and the chances of encountering it on the road are not low, so its appearance is believed that most people will not feel strange. Thanks to the length of nearly 5 meters and the wheelbase of 2.92 meters, as a medium and large car, it has a very good sense of gas field. Compared with the sense of futurity and technology of Chinese EV, Chinese DM pays more attention to the sense of strength and luxury, and the large-size air intake grille takes good care of the aesthetics of consumers who are used to the traditional fuel car modeling, giving people more intimacy.
Han DM’s headlights do not adopt the slender design of Han EV, but the overall shape is still exquisite and sharp. In addition to the matrix LED beads, three blue-purple light sources are added for decoration, which shows that it is the design element of "Dragon Claw". As the saying goes, the entry is high, and the two models of Han DM come standard with automatic headlights, adaptive far and near light switching, steering auxiliary lighting, headlight delay closing and other functions, and the configuration level is really not low.
The side and rear of the new car are the editors’ favorite angles, and the combination of low-lying+slender+large-slip back can be so coordinated, especially the bright black color scheme of the real car, which creates a sense of advanced beyond the "guide price". When dealing with the pictures, the friends around me are still discussing, and this texture is even a bit of Paramera.
On a luxury car, there is no shortage of hidden doorknobs full of ritual. In fact, Han’s logo, wind guide slot, small side window and other details have spent a lot of thought, and many surprises are waiting for the owner to discover.
As a four-wheel drive performance car that can break through 100 in 4.7 seconds, Han DM uses 19-inch multi-spoke wheels. Compared with the wheel hub shape, the 245/45 R19 tire from Ma brand MC6 series is obviously more brilliant. This sports tire emphasizes the grip and stability in dry and wet places, but the tire noise and comfort have not deteriorated.
There are not many fancy designs at the tail of Han DM, but the duckling tail, penetrating taillights with "dragon claws" and other elements are just right. As a whole, straight lines are used to create a stable and full atmosphere. Although the hidden exhaust layout is adopted below, the visual effect is not bad at all. 4.7s is not as big as Han, which shows BYD’s confidence in Han. It’s really a tough guy.
Byd Han’s interior was built by a former Mercedes-Benz S-class designer, and you can feel the sense of luxury from the moment you open the door. On the premise of keeping BYD’s familiar rotatable large screen and "Chinese buttons", China elements such as tower air conditioning air outlet and dragon heart gear shift lever are added to the car. The embracing cockpit creates a luxury car-like internal layout through stretched horizontal lines, and with high-grade materials such as wood decorative boards and brown leather, it brings strong grades and luxury.
The two-piece multi-function steering wheel is designed with a flat bottom, which can give a high score regardless of the feel or the convenience of buttons. This car supports the adjustment of steering wheel strength, and it can provide a most suitable state whether it is leisurely walking or intense driving or male/female car owners rotating.
The 12.3-inch LCD dashboard has been gradually popularized in BYD models, and the UI design and displayed data have basically maintained a high degree of family unity, and all functions can be operated by the buttons on the steering wheel. DiPilot driver assistance system includes intelligent navigation, lane assistance system, traffic sign recognition, predictive emergency braking system and other functions. The active and passive safety configuration has been several "positions" ahead of the joint venture model with the same price.
Many BYD models below Han only provide a 12.8-inch rotatable central control panel, but Han’s body has increased to 15.6 inches, accounting for almost one-third of the entire center console, which is very shocking. As for the software, the new car has a built-in NFC car key and a third-generation DiLink intelligent networking system, which supports various voice interaction and networking functions, and the APP application store is very playable.
In this large and medium-sized flagship car, there is no need to worry about any head space or leg space. The wide and thick seat is wrapped in Nappa calf leather with diamond grain, which not only has excellent touch and sitting feeling, but also has a luxurious texture visually. Of course, its front seats also support multi-directional electric adjustment and heating/ventilation functions, which can be perfectly handled in summer and winter.
The back row of Han DM is also suitable for business reception scenes. In addition to the "boss key" in the co-pilot seat, panoramic sunroof, independently controllable air conditioner in the back row, generous armrest box, etc. can make passengers feel comfortable and enjoy the executive-class car.
High performance and low energy consumption, DM hybrid depends on independent research and development.
The two models of Han DM have the same power configuration, both of which are equipped with a plug-in hybrid system consisting of a 2.0T turbocharged engine and a motor. The 2.0T all-aluminum engine has a maximum power of 141kW and a maximum torque of 320N·m, and is responsible for driving the front axle with a 6-speed wet dual-clutch gearbox. The maximum power and torque of the rear motor are 180kW and 330N·m； respectively. The combined force of the two engines can output the maximum power of 321KW and the maximum torque of 650N·m, and it can break through 100 in 4.7 seconds. The comprehensive fuel consumption of NEDC is only 1.4L/ 100 km, and the minimum fuel consumption in state of charge is 5.9L/ 100 km. In terms of battery, its blade battery capacity is 15.2kWh and its pure battery life is 81 km.
Hybrid vehicles do not simply use oil after running out of electricity, but need to intelligently manage the cooperation between motors and engines to further improve the fuel consumption and power of the whole vehicle. Fortunately, BYD’s DM technology platform is a technology in the hands of China car companies, which not only leads the world, but also derives DM-p (performance version) and DM-i (energy-saving version) to meet the more needs of different times and different users.
Han DM is the product of dual-engine four-wheel drive architecture of DM-p platform, and it is also the only plug-in hybrid car equipped with four-wheel drive, with four driving modes: EV, HEV, ECO and SPORT. No matter when starting at a standstill or cruising at a high speed, when the full throttle is accelerating, a gentle "Vi" motor sounds in the ear, and the strong acceleration will directly press the body on the seat. Looking at the climbing of the speedometer and the scenery moving rapidly backward outside the window, I don’t want to put a million super-runs in my eyes. In the face of absolute acceleration ability, I can’t help but sigh that adding "electricity" is the future.
Although the performance is very ambitious, road safety does not allow drivers to always drive like "chicken blood". It is more important whether this car has an excellent dynamic performance under normal driving conditions. Han DM is also very light in EV mode, and the motor is not castrated because of its identity as a hybrid vehicle. No matter starting, accelerating or changing lanes, it can do whatever it wants. The smooth and powerful acceleration with excellent sound insulation effect is no different from that of a pure electric vehicle. As a key point, the pure battery life of Han DM is basically the same as the actual driving distance, which is very rare for a medium-sized and large car with a high weight.
In HEV hybrid mode, most of the low-speed working conditions of the vehicle will be dominated by motor output to reduce the overall energy consumption. In order to test the matching between the engine and the gearbox, we deliberately set the battery SOC to 70% to simulate the "power shortage" condition. The vibration and sound of this 2.0T engine are very low, so it is difficult to detect it without deliberately feeling it. When the speed is below 40/h, the shifting action of the gearbox will have an unobtrusive sense of handover. However, after the speed exceeds 50/h, until the high-speed cruising state, the engine and gearbox basically have no sense of existence.
In fact, HEV intelligent hybrid mode driving is the simplest and most direct. The system will automatically control the output of the engine and the motor, and the connection between the power is also very smooth. Basically, only by staring at the screen can you know whether the power is provided by the motor or the engine. Even if it is used as a fuel vehicle without charging, the system will use kinetic energy recovery and excess engine power to charge the battery, so as to keep the vehicle "charged" and reduce the final fuel consumption. Under the comfortable chassis and good sound insulation "assist", the driving texture of Han DM shows the taste of high-end luxury cars.
finally
Engine+motor is not simply 1+1=2. As the flagship model of plug-in hybrid, Han DM has five advantages, such as license plate, cost performance, fuel consumption, performance and technology. In today’s environment where the penetration rate of charging piles is not high and the oil price is not low, even in cities without "double limits", PHEV models with strong power and no charging anxiety are obviously still the best choice.
