Recently, BYD officials revealed a batch of appearance design renderings of the Han EV and Han DM. The design of the BYD Han is derived from the BYD E-SEED GT concept car, and most of the inspiration comes from Chinese traditions. The image of "dragon" in culture, such as the chrome trim strips of the front air grille in the shape of "dragon whiskers", dragon crystal headlights and tail lights in the shape of dragon claws, perfectly integrate elements of traditional Chinese culture. It is understood that the new car is expected to be officially launched in June this year.
As mentioned earlier, the exterior design of BYD Han EV is inherited from the E-SEED GT concept car. It not only integrates the posture of a sports car and the charm of a luxury car, but also combines traditional culture and modern aesthetics. Highly integrated. The front face shape comes from the "EV Dragon Face" design language pioneered by the E-SEED GT concept car. Due to structural changes in the pure electric vehicle cabin, BYD Han EV adopts a more concise and elegant sports car-shaped curved surface design, which is transformed into illuminated LED daytime running lights and width indicators through the "dragon whiskers" shape, which greatly improves the visual appearance. of recognition.
The headlights of BYD Han EV adopt a new generation of "dragon crystal" design elements. The headlights on both sides are interspersed under the luminous "dragon whiskers", and they are connected in series to form a whole in terms of visual effect. . The upper part of the LED headlights is an array of blue ambient lights.
On the side of the car, the body lines are clear and fierce, the full and tensile curved lines, and the waistline with good turning and undulating rhythm can all create BYD Han EV's body posture like a swimming dragon. It is worth mentioning that BYD Han EV uses a new hidden door handle, which perfectly integrates the door handle with the curved surface, contributing a lot to the "Han"'s ultra-low drag coefficient of 0.233.
The rear design of the car is mainly composed of horizontal lines. The shape of the whole car is light and smooth. It is carefully divided into large-area color blocks and the proportions are precise. The transition between the side skirts and the rear of the vehicle is clear and distinct, allowing the airflow during driving to be decisively separated at corners, effectively reducing air resistance. Together with the light and raised tail, it significantly enhances the downforce of the vehicle body. The taillight set can also reflect the "dragon claw" design of BYD Han EV. The shape highlights its distinctive personality and the strong visual effect is very eye-catching.
The body lines of BYD Han DM are smooth and the extremely simple appearance design forms a more perfect aerodynamic posture for BYD Han DM. The "dragon claw" decorative parts on the C-pillar highlight the strength and power, and at the same time symbolize control and execution, fully displaying the high-end business atmosphere of the policy.
The rear part of the BYD Han DM adopts through-type taillights, which are perfectly integrated with the body lines, making the vehicle's posture more smooth and comfortable, and at the same time increasing the visual width of the rear of the car. The carvings in the taillights The "dragon claw" shape is very eye-catching when lit up, highlighting the sporty temperament of "Han DM".
The focus of this article is the "blade battery" carried by BYD Han. According to BYD Han's latest laboratory data on drag coefficient released earlier, it can be clearly understood that the drag coefficient of this new car is only 0.233Cd. This data can be said to have become a highlight among new energy vehicles currently on the market. You know, the current drag coefficient of the BMW 3 Series is 0.23Cd, and BYD Han has almost caught up with this data, which also means that the entire car company group is sincere in the research and development of new cars. After the wind resistance coefficient data was released, the "blade battery" equipped on BYD Han also became the focus of discussion among consumers.
So why does "blade battery" cause this discussion? In fact, thanks to the wind resistance coefficient data released by BYD Han, many consumers are now paying attention to the progress of new models. Not only car buyers are looking forward to the actual car experience of BYD Han, but even industry insiders such as the author are also looking forward to the specific performance of the new car. In fact, BYD Han has announced vehicle information a few years ago, but unfortunately it has not been released yet.
BYD Han is a mid-sized flagship sedan. As mentioned above, it is divided into Han EV and Han DM according to different models. The new model is based on BYD's BNA architecture and E platform. R&D, according to the information released so far, there are still many highlights.
For example, the new car's appearance is very avant-garde, and its speed is also among the "leaders" in the market. According to official disclosures, BYD Han accelerates from 100 kilometers to 100 kilometers in only 3.9 seconds, with a drag coefficient of only 0.233Cd. Why is it so fast? One of the reasons is also due to the "blade battery" on BYD Han.
In fact, this "mysterious" "blade battery" is a new battery cell developed by BYD. The length of the battery cell exceeds 0.6m and will be placed in a matrix arrangement. The condition of the vehicle looked like a blade had been inserted into the battery pack. It is said that the advantages of this "blade battery" are quite powerful. On the one hand, it can improve the space utilization of the power battery pack and increase the overall energy density. On the other hand, it can also ensure that the battery core has sufficient heat dissipation area, so that the internal The heat energy generated is discharged outside the vehicle.
The energy density of a set of "blade batteries" is increased by 50% compared to traditional lithium iron batteries, which also means that the overall cruising range of the new car can be as high as 600KM. In China, for most pure electric vehicle companies, improving the cruising range of pure electric vehicles is one of the most important selling points. In addition, the blade battery also has the advantage of a long life, and the vehicle life can be as long as more than one million kilometers.
As for the "blade battery", there are different voices in the automotive market. Some consumers believe that the "blade battery" promoted by BYD is just a marketing tool, and they do not think that the "blade battery" is a technological means. The more than 300 core patents attached to the "blade battery" are BYD's promotional slogan. A little too exaggerated. First of all, they believe that core patents are the foundation for enterprise development. Regardless of whether BYD uses iron lithium batteries or ternary lithium batteries, the core patents are in European and American countries. According to the search on the website, the author found that the "blade battery" should Hundreds of patents have been applied for, but to say they are all core patents would be an exaggeration.
The author concludes that BYD Han's "blade battery" still attracts the attention of many people inside and outside the industry, although some people in the industry believe that BYD just uses a new "synonym" to promote new models. The marketing techniques of the model, but it is undeniable that news about BYD Han has leaked out in the past few years. I believe that some consumers who have already paid attention to this model have been looking forward to it for a long time. As the release date gets closer, BYD Han is becoming more and more popular. As for the battery life and quality, it will be clear at a glance when the new car is launched.
