BYD Han EV test drive evaluation： luxury and technology both live up to the name of flagship.

　　Original title: BYD Han EV test drive evaluation: luxury and technology live up to the name of flagship

　　Beijing, September 6 (Reporter Zhang Xu) Since the listing of Han EV, it has become BYD’s hottest pure electric car. As a flagship model, it integrates all new technologies and technologies. Brand-new design language, luxurious interior atmosphere, blade battery, IPB intelligent brake and Dillink 3.0 intelligent network connection system are all applied to Han EV, and they live up to the name of flagship.

　　Another Deduction of Oriental Aesthetics

　　Han EV adopts the latest EV Dragon face family design language. Compared with the previous EV models, it simplifies the exaggerated big mouth grille design and replaces it with this widened matte metal trim. The flat design is not only simple and elegant, but also improves the sense of the whole front.

　　The shape of the headlights is slender and magical, and its light source adopts a matrix LED light group. When you unlock the vehicle, LED daytime running lights and LED headlights light up in turn, just like waking up a sleeping dragon, which is very sci-fi. At the same time, the inner folding line design of the lower part of the front bumper with the figure-eight diversion duct not only enriches the shape of the front face, but also brings a strong sense of movement. This brand-new design style has become a unique symbol of BYD EV models.

　　From the side, the first impression of Han EV is long, very long. As a flagship model, its body length reaches 4980mm, its width is 1910mm, and its height is only 1495 mm. Together with the wheelbase of 2920mm, it makes the whole look very long and narrow. The through waistline creates a dive posture, and the design that the arched lines at the rear fender are combined with the tailgate cover shows the car’s sense of strength and movement to the fullest.

　　In fact, there are some hidden design details and technical configurations on the side of the car body. The first is the hidden electric door handle, which increases the sense of ceremony and also reduces the wind resistance. In addition, the extended door handle is engraved with the LOGO of "Han". This detail is handled very delicately, which always shows the identity of the flagship model.

　　Secondly, the exterior rearview mirror similar to the shape of water droplets can further support the reduction of wind resistance. NFC function logo is also marked on the exterior rearview mirror. When you forget to bring your car keys when you travel, you can easily do it with your mobile phone, which is convenient and practical. In addition, thanks to the smooth body lines of the whole vehicle and these fine designs, Han EV can have a drag coefficient of 0.233.

　　The design of the rear of the car is still simple and clear. The rear is formed by multiple horizontal lines, which makes the overall visual width even better. The through taillights are decorated with silver chrome, which looks very delicate. The most special thing is that the taillights incorporate the design elements of the dragon claws, and the red light strips inside are very beautiful after lighting.

　　Luxury and technology coexist.

　　The center console of Han EV is still a familiar dynasty series style. The rotatable central control screen is eye-catching. The leather package that can be reached everywhere is matched with wooden decorative boards and leather stitching, which creates the texture and luxury atmosphere of the whole interior in a very good position.

　　In fact, sitting in the car, the first impression is not this luxurious and scientific center console. It’s the seat of Han EV, which is really comfortable. The seat is made of perforated leather, which is in place for leg support, waist support, wrapping on both sides and head support, and the padding of the seat is very soft, just like sitting on a soft and supportive leather sofa. In addition, the seat is also equipped with ventilation and heating function, which can bring high-quality riding experience in winter and summer.

　　The steering wheel is designed with a flat-bottomed Shuang Fu, with excellent grip and reasonable layout of multi-function buttons on both sides, making it easy for people to find the corresponding functions.

　　It is not surprising that the 12.3-inch full LCD dashboard appears on BYD models, and the information that can be displayed is also very rich, and it provides three theme modes: classic, concise and sports. However, with the switching of ECO/SPORT driving modes, each theme will also present two different color backgrounds.

　　BYD’s latest DiLink3.0 car system is installed in this 15.6-inch rotating screen. The brand-new UI design is the biggest change of the new system. Its design is inspired by Tai Chi and ancient jade elements, and with high resolution and good response speed, the central control screen has excellent visual sense and practicality.

　　Han EV’s gear area was officially named "BYDHeart Dragon’s Heart". Its brand-new gear is small and full to grasp, and the layout design of surrounding buttons also improves the convenience of operation. This area is equipped with multiple function buttons such as automatic parking, volume adjustment, driving mode adjustment, kinetic energy recovery adjustment, etc. However, there are also some regrets. Bright black is seriously reflective in the case of sufficient light, and it is still difficult to operate this area while driving.

　　Sitting in the back row, the comfort of the seat is as good as that of the front row. The head, back and legs are well supported and wrapped, and the padding in the seat is soft enough. In addition, the boss key, the co-pilot, and the independent air conditioning control panel in the back row are standard in all the EV systems.

　　Beyond the driving experience of the same level

　　The model we tested this time is the distinguished version of Han EV with long battery life. It adopts the power layout of single motor precursor, and is equipped with a permanent magnet synchronous motor with the maximum power of 163kW and the maximum torque of 330N·m, and the acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h is 7.9 seconds. Although it is not as fast as 3.9 seconds per 100 kilometers of the four-wheel drive high-performance flagship model, it can only make a choice in order to have a battery life of 605KM.

　　BYD’s blade battery is the highlight, and the space utilization rate inside its battery pack can be improved by 60%-80% compared with the traditional battery pack. This also makes the battery capacity reach 77kWh and the energy density reach 140Wh/kg.

　　In daily driving, the accelerator pedal and brake adjustment of Han EV are more like a fuel car. When the vehicle starts to accelerate, the power output of the motor is linear and uniform without any sudden feeling. When braking, the vehicle will stop linearly according to the driver’s braking force. It is worth mentioning that when the vehicle decelerates at low speed, the initial braking force is slightly stiff, but the situation has improved after the adjustment of the comfort of the brake pedal.

　　The new car offers three driving modes, except snow mode, ECO and SPORT are the two most commonly used modes. Because it is a single motor model, when driving in ECO or SPORT mode, I feel that there is not much difference between them, but the dynamic response of the latter is faster.

　　In addition, the car also provides standard and large two-stage kinetic energy recovery adjustment. When the kinetic energy recovery is in the standard mode, after releasing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle will slow down like a fuel truck without any dragging feeling; When the kinetic energy recovery level is high, although the vehicle will obviously slow down, it does not bring a strong sense of drag, and the whole kinetic energy recovery process is smooth and natural.

　　Han EV has excellent control over NVH. In terms of wind noise, thanks to the double-layer glass in the front row, almost no obvious noise can be heard within 100km/h, and the interior quietness is very satisfactory. Compared with the former, the performance of tire noise is slightly inferior. When the vehicle passes through some rough sections, the noise is more obvious, but it is within the acceptable range.

　　The car adopts the combination of front McPherson independent suspension and rear multi-link independent suspension, and the chassis suspension is set with toughness, which ensures the comfort of the car and has certain support. In the face of bumps such as speed bumps, manhole covers and damaged roads, it is handled properly without unnecessary shaking, but the vibration filtering effect is slightly not calm enough for continuous fine vibration.

　　summary

　　On the whole, the performance of Han EV is quite outstanding. Whether it is the appearance value, interior materials, high configuration and technical strength, it is well-deserved as BYD’s flagship car. And it can meet the needs of many consumers for space, quality and configuration at a price of less than 300 thousand yuan, which may be the secret of keeping sales of Han EV.
