The all-new BYD Ocean family model “Seal” was officially launched
China Quality News Network News (Liu Jiayun) On July 29, BYD Ocean family’s new pure electric vehicle Seal (hereinafter referred to as: Seal) was officially launched. A total of four models were released, priced from 209,800 yuan to 286,800 yuan. Based on the e-platform 3.0 technology, the seal is equipped with CTB battery-body integration technology, which makes the new car have a 50:50 golden axle-to-load ratio, a low-slung body shape, and stronger handling and safety performance. It is expected to be officially delivered in August. .
“Marine Aesthetics” Evolves Again
In terms of appearance, the seal inherits the design language of the OCEAN X concept car, and uses the “X” in the dynamic perspective as the structure to give the front face a strong sense of impact. As an extension of the front face, the full sculptural curved surface of the seal’s front cabin cover is full of strength. Two towering rib lines bulge the middle of the cover, and with the sharply shaped front end, the sporty feeling is created in place. The headlight of the new car adopts the “Haiyue double U suspension” design. The interior of the lamp cavity is a double U-shaped floating LED light-emitting component. The sharp flat headlights widen the visual proportion of the front face, creating a lower width. body effect. The “boomerang” decoration on the outside of the headlight and the headlight body together form the shape of the letter C, which echoes the shape of the turn indicator on the rearview mirror. Below the headlight is a wave-ripple “ripple” lamp, inspired by the surging waves of the sea, combining two elements of straight line and water ripples. It also strengthens the front face of OCEAN X.
Coming to the side of the car, the seal’s body lines are smooth and natural, the low-lying front bonnet, the rounded roof and the slip-back body are very sporty coupe flavors. The double waistline design is also the highlight of the seal’s appearance. The long waistline starting from the rear of the front wheel eyebrows sets off the elegance of the coupe. The black decorative shape on the front fender is derived from the ripples on the water surface, symbolizing agility and liveliness.
In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new car are 4800mm/1875mm/1460mm respectively, the wheelbase is 2920mm, the wheel eyebrow diameter and the body height of 1,460mm form a ratio of 1:2, giving the seal a smart and elegant attitude. In terms of body color, the new car will be available in eight body color options: Arctic Blue, Aurora White, Xuankong Black, Atlantis Gray (and matte version), Sea Lens Blue, Wind Curly Green and Rosemary Gray. Users fully release their individuality.
At the rear of the car, the rear bumper of the new car does not adopt a simple full-body design. The exaggerated rear spoiler adopts a large area of black decoration, which improves the high-speed stability and also shows the sports genes of the seal. The rear light group of the new car adopts the “Haitian Line” through-type water drop tail light. The design inspiration comes from water droplets and is highly recognizable. The 5mm linear light strips in the light wall are connected in series with water droplet dot matrix lights and lined with high-bright chrome trim strips, creating a sense of sight of the sea and the sky.
Entering the car, the cockpit based on the design concept of “marine aesthetics” is full of various marine elements. The “wave-chasing” instrument panel is based on smooth and natural lines, and different functions are divided through the difference of materials and colors. It also further enhances the sense of suspension of the overall shape. The instrument panel trim, sub-instrument panel and steering wheel adopt laser laser engraving technology, with diamond quilting and double stitching technology as decoration, which further enhances the overall high-quality and delicate sense of the interior.
CTB technology gives seals strong security attributes
It is understood that Seal has a safe body structure specially designed for pure electric vehicles. Based on the technical advantages of the e-platform 3.0, the CTB battery body integration technology reduces the height difference between the front cabin and the passenger cabin compared with the traditional body structure. The strength advantage of the material itself can be more effectively utilized, and a smoother path is provided for the transmission of the collision force.
Thanks to the advantages of CTB technology, the “blade battery” adopted by SEAL is integrated into the vehicle body with a structure similar to the honeycomb aluminum plate. Compared with the traditional CTP structure, the longitudinal force transmission of the vehicle battery pack is increased by 83%, and the safety of the vehicle interior structure is improved by 50%. %, the lateral transmission force is increased by 125%. In terms of the stiffness of the crew deck, SEAL’s CTB technology has been improved by 13 times. In addition, SEAL’s full-frame subframe also helps to disperse stress, and its special crush structure design can absorb collision energy more efficiently and better protect the safety of occupants in the vehicle.
50:50 Gold axle-to-charge ratio plus seal sports genes
In terms of performance control, the seal has an axle-to-load ratio of 50:50, and the low center of gravity design also makes the seal have a smaller moment of inertia. With the DP steering system and the brake-by-wire system, the control is greatly improved. The suspension adopts the front double wishbone and rear five-link structure, and the swing arm and steering knuckle are made of forged aluminum alloy material, which makes the unsprung weight of the seal lighter, which can respond to changes in the road more quickly, and the road feeling is clearer. In addition, the high-strength front and rear full-frame subframes used in the new car can also further improve the handling stability of the vehicle.
In terms of power performance, the maximum output power of the electric motor of the 550km standard range rear-drive version of the BYD Seal is 150kW and the maximum torque is 310Nm; the maximum output power of the electric motor of the 700km long range rear-drive version is 230kW and the maximum torque is 360Nm. It is worth mentioning that the SEAL 650km four-wheel drive performance version is equipped with a three-in-one electric drive powertrain of an AC asynchronous motor, with a maximum total power of 390kW and a maximum total torque of 670Nm. The asynchronous motor has the advantage of high efficiency in high-speed conditions. It also makes the car 0-100km/h acceleration time of 3.8 seconds.
Conclusion: As a blockbuster product of BYD’s marine series, the seal based on e-platform 3.0 technology will further impact the pure electric sedan market in the range of RMB 200,000 to RMB 300,000 with the support of core technologies such as CTB battery body integration technology and blade battery. . At present, the order for new SEAL has exceeded 60,000. In order to ensure sufficient production capacity, BYD’s Changzhou plant will also serve as the exclusive production base for SEAL to improve the delivery capacity of new cars. Attractive enough price, sporty design, advanced technology, and sincere seals once again proved BYD’s strong product development capabilities to the market.
