This article will show you how to upgrade the Yuan UP and the new models will be coming soon

In the past, consumers with a budget of around 100,000 yuan might only focus on the joint venture small car market. But now domestic new energy vehicles have successfully "brought down" the price. The starting price of a pure electric small SUV is only 96,800 yuan, but the space is comparable to that of a joint venture compact SUV.

In the past, consumers with a budget of around 100,000 yuan might only focus on the joint venture small car market. But now domestic new energy vehicles have successfully "brought down" the price. The starting price of a pure electric small SUV is only 96,800 yuan, but the space is comparable to that of a joint venture compact SUV. At the same time, the pure electric range reaches 401 kilometers, and the cost of using the car per kilometer is less than 0.2 cents. Can you believe it? Yes, it is the BYD Yuan UP ( picture | configuration | inquiry ) that this article will introduce. This article will analyze for you how good this car is.

As usual, let's start with the exterior design. The exterior details of the Yuan UP are good at using full line elements to outline. The surface brings a sense of muscle while also having ample line changes. The design of the side of the vehicle is full and thick. Although the semi-hidden door handles are not as good-looking as the fully hidden ones, they can also bring a lower drag coefficient, helping to improve the endurance rate. In terms of interior, compared with the 10.1-inch car screen, the 12.8-inch screen has a much smaller border, and the screen clarity is good. According to actual experience, the fluency and functionality of the DiLink system are also in line with the mainstream level.

As an A0-class pure electric SUV, many people will also pay attention to the space performance of Yuan UP. From the actual static experience, the whole car has a total of 18 storage spaces. Thanks to the application of e-platform 3.0 and CTB battery chassis integration technology, the rear floor is flat without protrusions. After the rear seats are folded down, the luggage trunk space reaches 1,320 liters. The space performance is average, but it is enough for daily travel and commuting.

However, in my opinion, it is more realistic to talk about the range of pure electric vehicles. Speaking of range, there are two sets of range standards for the Yuan UP models on sale. One set is placed on the 301KM leading model. The vehicle is equipped with a 32kWh battery pack, with a pure electric range of 301 kilometers under CLTC conditions, and supports 45kW fast charging. It comes standard with panoramic imaging, VTOL mobile power station, smart power on and off, and other functions. Facing the daily commuting scenes in third- and fourth-tier cities, this model configuration can already meet most vehicle needs.

The other set is the 401KM Leading Model and the 401KM Surpassing Model. Both models are equipped with a 45.12kWh battery pack, and the fast charging power is increased to 65kW. The battery can be replenished to more than 80% in half an hour, reducing the waiting time for travel. At the same time, the 401KM version is upgraded to a front electric drive system with a maximum power of 130kW. Compared with the same level of models, the power performance is more prominent. But relatively speaking, the stronger the motor power performance, the greater the power consumption. Is the real endurance of Yuan UP enough?

Regarding the endurance issue, our recent endurance test on the 2024 401KM leading model of Yuan UP can provide some reference value. At that time, the remaining power of the vehicle was 85%, and the remaining range on the meter was 340 kilometers. Since some service areas on the local highway are being renovated and upgraded, it is not convenient to recharge on the highway. We chose the comprehensive road conditions of the city's main road + the outer ring expressway as the test environment. The internal circulation air conditioning was maintained at 25℃ throughout the test, the driving mode used the sports mode, the power recovery used the standard mode, and the dragging feeling was relatively gentle.

It is worth mentioning that the power performance of the Yuan UP is not as "aggressive" as imagined. After the accelerator pedal is pressed, the power output style is relatively soothing, with a gradual feeling. The chassis tuning style is also relatively comfortable. Thanks to the CTB battery body integrated design, the body feels strong when driving on the expressway, but it is not possible to drive vigorously, and the suspension has limited effect on the roll suppression. When a sudden acceleration overtaking request is issued midway, the power performance is still sufficient, and the NVH quietness of the cabin is good, and there is no need to turn on multimedia music to cover up the noise. These two points are surprising.

During the test, 40% of the route was in the city with stop-and-go traffic, and the rest of the route was relatively smooth. The average speed was increased from 35km/h to 79km/h, the actual mileage was 67km, and the remaining range was 250km. The displayed battery life was 90km, and the range achievement rate was 74%. It can be seen that the range of Yuan UP is relatively solid. In the scenario of daily commuting, the pure electric range of 401km is enough.

Conclusion

From the above analysis of BYD Yuan UP's product strength, it is not difficult to see that this car not only has a young and sporty interior and exterior design, but also has rich basic functional configuration, solid pure electric endurance, fast enough pure electric speed, and power that meets the needs of short-distance commuting in the city. The overall performance has no obvious shortcomings. For consumer groups who used to only be able to choose joint venture small cars under the same budget, Yuan UP provides them with a cost-effective choice. If you are not satisfied with the existing model configuration, you might as well wait a little longer. We learned from relevant channels that the new Yuan UP will be available for sale soon, and interested friends can pay close attention to it.
