Is it worth the wait for the $10,000 class all-electric SUV, the BYD Yuan UP, which is set to launch a new model?

The market of pure electric vehicles at the 10,000 USD level has become a significant growth in the automotive industry. After all, products at this level can provide better vehicle quality than commuter vehicles, and guarantee lower vehicle costs, while the price is also acceptable. BYD has also deployed a variety of models in the 100,000 USD level market. The Yuan UP we are going to talk about today is a newcomer in the 100,000 USD level market. The car is positioned as a small SUV, and a new model will be launched soon. Let's analyze the overall product strength of BYD Yuan UP today.

BYD Yuan UP currently has a full guide price range of 96,800-119,800, with 301km and 401km options available across the range. As an all-new model, the Yuan UP will be launched in the near future, and theoretically, it is also a new model, we also mainly take the Yuan UP 2024 401KM Ultra model as an example today to analyse the product power of the car.

For a model in the price range of the Yuan UP, range is definitely a concern, and we will focus on analysing the car's range performance today. First, let's take a look at the basic information, the UP is equipped with BYD's own blade battery, whose battery pack energy reaches 45.12kWh, and under CLTC conditions, the entire vehicle's pure electric range reaches 401km. The reliability and durability of the battery is guaranteed, which also solves the concerns about the safety of new energy vehicles and battery replacement in the later stage.

In order to ensure the whole vehicle range, BYD has also made a lot of innovations in technology, the first of which is BYD's classic e-platform 3.0, and the Yuan UP has become the first A0-grade pure-electric SUV to be equipped with the e-platform 3.0. Second, relying on the e-platform 3.0, the Yuan UP also adopts the CTB battery body integration technology, which improves the capacity of the battery pack as well as the torsional stiffness of the body, and also optimises the longitudinal space inside the car. On the Yuan UP, BYD also adopts an eight-in-one electric powertrain, and after deeply integrating the eight core components, the overall efficiency of the whole vehicle also reaches 89%, with less loss in the whole system. The flat-wire motor has a higher slot fullness rate, and its power density has been increased by 20%, which is reflected in the product end, and can also improve the overall efficiency by 1%. In addition, the Yuan UP is equipped with a 3.0 generation enhanced IGBT module, which also improves its heat dissipation efficiency and reduces the overall loss by 20%.

For the thermal management of batteries, Yuan UP also uses a lot of targeted technologies. For example, the car is equipped with a wide temperature range and high-efficiency heat pump system, which can recover the waste heat of the drive assembly and provide an auxiliary heat source for the heat pump. The main purpose is to reduce energy consumption when the heater is turned on in winter. This system also has the ability to work in a wide temperature range of -30℃-40℃, and the low-temperature range is increased by more than 20%. At the same time, Yuan UP also uses direct battery cooling and heating technology, allowing the refrigerant to directly cool and heat the battery to improve the efficiency of heat dissipation and heat preservation, which is also more friendly to the performance and life of the battery. In addition, Yuan UP is equipped with a new generation of intelligent power braking system, which not only improves safety, but also has a higher energy feedback rate.

With the support of the above technologies, Yuan UP finally achieved an electricity consumption of 12.2kWh per 100 kilometers. It is actually meaningless to talk about power consumption alone. You should know that the maximum electric power of Yuan UP is 130kW, the maximum torque reaches 290N·m, and the acceleration time of 0-100km/h is only 7.9 seconds. Based on such power, the power consumption of Yuan UP is only 12.2kWh/100km, which is quite outstanding. In addition, the maximum fast charging power of Yuan UP can reach 65kW, and the energy replenishment efficiency is also relatively high.

In summary, the 401km pure electric range of Yuan UP is enough to meet the needs of daily commuting, and it does not require frequent charging. The maximum fast charging power of 65kW can also achieve rapid energy replenishment. In addition, through the use of innovative technologies, Yuan UP can also make its pure electric range more authentic. Overall, I think Yuan UP is worth buying. The new model of the car will be launched soon, and I hope it can also bring us surprises.
