I’ve basically tried BYD’s car once, except for Qin, Tang, Song and Yuan, which are named Han, the car with the second longest history and the highest grade.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, I spent a few days with Han EV, and I’ll talk about it after I feel what it is like. I’ll tell you here first … It subverts my view of BYD!
The oldest but also the most durable dragon face
Generally speaking, the most high-end models of a car factory often need the longest process of market investigation, trend analysis, case design, etc. before they are born, such as Mercedes-Benz S and BMW 7, and then they become contemporary trend indicators as soon as they are launched, and it will be meaningful if they are not changed for many years. And BYD Han EV is a similar process …
Under the leadership of design director Wolfgang Eiger, BYD’s car has a "dragon", a very Chinese soul, and Juanma Lopez endowed Han with a dragon body by virtue of his skill in designing Ferrari.
In fact, the design of the Han model is not too early, but it is obvious that BYD’s design team developed Han as the highest-end model, so personally, Han EV looks very atmospheric and elegant, not out of touch with the times, just like Chinese people say that the Han Dynasty always has the rule of literary scene and Hanwu is the hero.
In short, the dragon’s face, Long Lin, African claw … all kinds of dragon elements are integrated. I believe everyone is familiar with the appearance of the Han EV, so let’s stop here!
The interior of the car is no stranger to the iconic central control rotatable screen, but to my surprise, Han EV is the most harmonious masterpiece that combines luxury and technology among BYD models I have tried so far.
The blue light bar, with the blue light in the instrument trim panel and the gear head, is full of trendy feeling, but it can coexist peacefully with the traditional luxury elements such as two-color interior tone and wood decorative board. The interior designer of this car, Michele Paganetti, is really good at it!
Many media didn’t notice it, even BYD itself didn’t specifically say it, but I personally think that the silver decorative elements in this car reflect the details and intentions, because its silver includes titanium silver, fog silver and bright silver, and the three proportions are used properly, just showing the interior texture and visual level.
Imagine if all the interior trim strips of the car were made of bright silver, which would really be a proper fashion for auto parts.
Riding space … The wheelbase of 2920mm is really not just talk. Sitting in the back seat is very spacious. And I also think that the height design of this back seat is higher than that of the front seat, and the angle of the back seat is also inclined enough, so sitting on it will have a sense of comfort, haha!
Comfortable and easy to drive, linear and predictable
The Han EV, which was tested by Xiaobian, is a single-motor model with a cruising range of 605km. The front cover is opened and the plastic trim is uncovered. Under it is the power management assembly, and then the motor motor that can output 163kW power and 330Nm torque. The layout is simplified.
Of course, I can’t see the 76.9kWh blade battery under the car, as long as I know that it is a lithium iron phosphate battery with better safety than the ternary lithium battery with high nickel content.
In actual driving, as far as power is concerned, ECO driving mode will feel that there is a gap between the switch pedal and the power output, and the comfort is very suitable for most users, but personally feel that the response is a little slow; SPORT driving mode is much better, but as long as the switch is slightly stepped deep, the front wheels will easily slip when starting on wet and rainy roads, and the 330Nm distribution of the motor is really different from that of the engine.
And my ideal daily driving power distribution scale seems to be between ECO and SPORT. I wonder if this is too demanding …
Kinetic energy recovery is only set in two stages, and the two modes are basically focused on luxury and comfort, and the dragging feeling when closing the switch is not radical, which is also the correct calibration effect of the high-end car corresponding to Han EV.
The overall chassis setting is also around the theme of comfort and luxury. The chassis strength is solid enough, but the suspension setting is more flexible, which has a high-grade texture when dealing with road crushing. However, when cornering at a high speed, the limit marginal turning space facing the body roll is not enough, and the stability is not very predictable at that moment.
The other is braking and direction. Sometimes the auxiliary mechanism makes me feel that there are two paragraphs in the operation journey, and it would be more perfect if the linearity can be strengthened.
Pragmatic way up
In the field of new energy vehicles, BYD can’t be said to be an "old brand", but it is a representative of adhering to the steady pace and diligence of traditional car-making enterprises.
From the ET concept car more than ten years ago to today’s Han EV, we can see its product evolution, product line layout, brand upgrade … all aspects are gradual and practical, without too many dazzling tricks, but they can withstand the scrutiny of the times.
No matter from product design to workmanship, Han EV doesn’t have too many fancy shows, and some of them are in line with product positioning or even a higher level of performance, which really makes me look at BYD’s car-making skills with special respect.
Finally, let’s talk about a small egg. When we were shooting Byd Han one day, a police car suddenly stopped in front of the car and a police uncle got off. At first, it was really scary! Is it that some ulterior secret has been discovered …
What a false alarm! It turns out that the police uncle came to see the car! He is going to book Krypton 001, and BYD Han is also considering it. He is looking at a test drive, so he will take the opportunity to have a look.
When Krypton 001 was released, it looked really fragrant. The body of the styling+station wagon was very handsome and the configuration was very high. However, because there was no real car to see, my uncle did not dare to make a hasty decision.
He thinks Han is also very beautiful, the interior is upscale enough, and the space is not bad … We also asked the police uncle to test drive Han, and he feels comfortable to drive.
Finally, he asked my opinion. Guess what I said?
