It is not enough to just add the "Champion Edition" to the automobile array. BYD has gradually guided the "Champion Edition" strategy to the SUV segmentation field. However, in terms of specific gameplay, Tang DM-i Champion Edition pays more attention to the quality of the whole vehicle.
Such efforts are carried out in turn from the inside out.
First of all, the newly launched Champion Glacier Blue color scheme continues the cooperation with BASF, the top car paint supplier in the industry. The new pearlescent aluminum powder formula gives the color a metallic texture, showing a multi-layered delicate flicker effect under light. The sustainable bio-based color paste in the formula not only ensures the consistency of color, but also has better durability. The key point is that this personalized color matching has become free configuration. This move is extremely kind. You should know that only the DM-i 252KM exclusive model of Tang Dynasty is eligible to choose this BASF painting (Aurora Blue), and the price is increased by 3,000 yuan.
Secondly, the champion version also comes standard with DiLink4.0(5G) intelligent network connection system. This system has appeared on many BYD models. The interface belongs to flat UI design, and there is no complicated secondary menu, so it is easier for older customers to use.
Compared with the previous DiLink3.0 system, the baseband chip of version 4.0 supports 5G signals. This greatly reduces the response time of natural speech recognition system and audio-visual system. Besides, understanding pronunciation is more intelligent. For example, "Navigation to Zhongshan Park needs to go through supermarkets and bathrooms." This path planning can be completed at one time, and there is no need to plan the path first and then add a waypoint to the voice. Practice has proved that the system greatly improves the efficiency of man-machine conversation.
This DiLink4.0 system will also transfer the Dana audio originally equipped with the honor model to the Supreme Honor Champion Edition. This sound system has 12 speakers, including 4 tweeters,/kloc-0 midrange units, 4 woofers,/kloc-0 midrange units and 2 surround sound units. Generally speaking, the comprehensive entertainment strength of this DiLink4.0 system is equivalent to the ideal state, and it seems that there is only one back screen missing.
The car scene of the champion Tang DM-i has been further expanded. Like the Tang DM-p, the previous car has optimized the external capacity, and the mobile power station supports the maximum output of 6.6kW, which is more than double that of the previous 1 12km cruising car. It is no longer a dream to use electric hot pot with air conditioning outdoors. Correspondingly, the fast charging ability of DC has been further improved. The champion model has been upgraded to 40kW input capacity (originally 25kW), further reducing the charging time.
The chassis adjustment of the champion version has been further improved, among which the self-developed FSD variable damping suspension has contributed. The upgraded system uses FSD valve to control the oil flow in the damping cylinder, thus automatically adjusting its own hardness.
In order to improve the passing efficiency of engine oil when the vehicle bumps the road at high frequency, the FSD valve opens two channels. At this time, the damping force of the shock absorber is reduced, and the shock absorber "softens", and the shock absorber plays the role of absorbing road impact, so that people in the car have a comfortable driving experience.
Therefore, compared with the competing products in the market, the FSD shock absorber has been effectively controlled in cost, and fully combined with the actuation characteristics of DiSus-C suspension, achieving hard pavement and soft non-pavement. But to make the road soft, FSD can't do it.
Lightweight chassis engineering is also BYD's specialty. From the product manual, the champion version uses lighter aluminum alloy materials in key parts such as front and rear corners, lower arms and rear longitudinal arms. Although the cost increases, it can significantly reduce the unsprung weight and theoretically improve the damping efficiency of FSD.
What is the actual effect? It should be said that it is not as obvious as imagined. Investigate its reason, the author guesses that it should be caused by tire size. The old 245/45 R20 tire was replaced by 255/50 R20 tire, and the thicker sidewall greatly reduced the handling response, but in exchange for better high-speed NVH performance and speed ratio biased towards high-speed fuel economy.
The appearance of champion version of DM-i makes the positioning of DM-i and DM-p products clearer, and at the same time, the champion version also makes the DM-p product line have a broader space by weakening the previous 252KM exclusive type. So now BYD's product strategic planning has become more and more like the joint venture brand of that year. Don't play too many gimmicks on the text, but actually upgrade the product details on the spot.
