Sea Lion 07 (see specifications) is the first to use BYD's latest e-Platform 3.0 Evo's Cars。It uses a 12-in-1 electric drive system to support the world's highest-speed production motor (23,000 rpm)。This is the latest electric car of BYD Ocean series。The SUV coupe is available in four models and starts at 189,800 yuan ($26,250)。

New car arrives at Chinese dealer for a while。However, registration took longer than expected。Our readers asked for a test drive report during the launch of Sea Lion 07。Therefore, we will make an exception to publish consecutive reports of cars of the same brand。Join us for this week's Sunday Chinese driving with Sea Lion 07!

First impression

Like the Seal 06 DM-i we reviewed last week, the Sea Lion 07 is part of BYD's Ocean Series, aimed at younger buyers。The size of the new car is 4830 / 1925 / 1620 mm, and the wheelbase is 2930 mm。Compared with the Tesla Model Y, its seat height is reduced by 4 mm and its length is increased by 80 mm. The inclined roof line of the SUV coupe gives the car a sporty appearance。Although some people may say that BYD Song L (see specifications) is BYD's best-looking SUV coupe, I find the Sea Lion 07 most visually eye-catching。

The design of the BYD Sea Lion 07 was inspired by the Ocean-X concept car, maintaining the aesthetic language of the BYD Seal family。Its exterior rior is stylish and stylish, equipped with headlights and retractable door handles。The rear of the car has continuous taillights, a "duck tail" spoiler, and a roof spoiler with the BYD logo, which can glow at night。

Closing the door of Seal Lion 07 sounds stronger than closing the door of Seal 06 DM-i。All panels are aligned and the paint looks well finished。

Interior Trim

When you enter BYD Sea Lion 07, you will find yourself in a premium compartment with beautifully sewn leather and atmosphere lights that can emit up to 128 colors。Ventilated leather seat with massage function is a gift for 33 ℃ test drive day。Like all other BYD cars we have tested, the seat provides good lumbar support。Please note: massage function is only available in the top two decorations。

Many curves around the dashboard are reminiscent of BYD's Ocean Series。This stylish SUV has a flat-bottomed four-spoke steering wheel and a 50-inch AR-HUD, which is very bright even on sunny days。Central is BYD's iconic 15.6 inch rotating central screen。It runs on a DiLink 100 system and is powered by a 6nm chip that supports voice control。Other features include crystal gear selector, physical buttons for basic control, 220V power supply for laptop, karaoke system and NFC keyless entry。

The car provides plenty of space for rear passengers。The angle of the rear seats can be adjusted manually。The panoramic sunroof adds a sense of spaciousness in the car。The car's 12-speaker Dana s sound system provides a good audio experience。However, for a vehicle of this size, it does not provide enough sound field。Installing additional ATMOS speakers on the ceiling will produce different effects。

Storage

Sea Lion 07 is equipped with a 58-liter trunk and a 500-liter trunk, providing sufficient storage capacity。

Driving

Our test car is the Sea Lion 07 Zhihang with rear-wheel drive, which costs 219,800 yuan (US $30,250)。As we did with the Seal 06 DM-i last week, we drove this SUV onto the same suburban roads in Zhuhai to see how it performs。

Although the driver's seat is higher than I like, the visibility is very good。The cottage is quiet when traveling around the block。However, when driving at a higher speed of about 120 km / h on the highway, the wind noise generated by the frameless door becomes obvious。For a car of this size, the steering is relatively fast and more direct than other BYD models we tested。It's a little lighter than I like, though。

Thanks to BYD's DiSus-C intelligent shock-absorbing body control system, the vehicle feels very secure when turning and very stable when driving on bumpy roads。On poorly paved roads, its adaptive suspension will sense the situation and react to adjust the wheel shock absorber stiffness。

This sea lion 07 has a 0 - 100 acceleration time of 6.7 seconds, providing a linear speed increase based on rapid acceleration。The rear axle of the test car is equipped with a 230kW motor with a maximum torque of 380N · m and a maximum speed of 225km / h。

Overall, the Sea Lion 07 is comfortable to ride and vibrant to drive。It is one step higher than BYD Song L, which was launched last year.。

Battery range

This single-motor model has a CLTC cruising range of 610 kilometers and a battery capacity of 80.64 kWh。BYD Sea Lion 07 can charge 10% to 80% in 25 minutes。

Safety function

The Sea Lion 07 is BYD's first model equipped with DiPilot 100 "Eye of God" ADAS, integrating 12 ultrasonic radars, 5 millimeter wave radars and 11 cameras。It provides advanced L2 driver assistance, including lane keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, lane departure assist, traffic sign recognition and intelligent speed control。The car is equipped with 11 airbags, tire pressure monitoring system and driver monitoring assist system。

结论

BYD's e-Platform 3.0 Now three years old, it's great to see the new e-Platform 3.0 Evo Listing。Sea Lion 07 has both appearance and personality。However, I felt a bit disappointed when I left for the test drive。

Xiaomi has taken a non-traditional approach to positioning the SU7 as a beautiful-looking, high-performance sedan with an aggressive price, filling the gap left by traditional automakers。Xiaomi may continue its strategy for the upcoming MX11 SUV, adding more space for rear passengers。BYD Sea Lion 07 has the world's highest performance speed production engine (23,000 rpm), which is BYD's most sporty SUV。Sea Lion 07 has the elements of a high-performance SUV。Instead, it has been adjusted and positioned as a comfortable family SUV to compete in China's overcrowded market segment. BYD Song L, Xiaopeng G6, IM LS6 and Tesla Model Y already exist。

The model, along with BYD's electric vehicles Dolphin, Atto 3 and Seal, will be available in overseas markets including Europe, the UK and Australia as early as next year.。Like BYD Seal, we suspect that this model will be mainly targeted at overseas markets rather than the domestic market, with Tesla Model Y and Volkswagen ID.4 Competition。

Stay tuned for China Auto News next week's Sunday China Driving, you can get more comments on China's electric cars from the first-person perspective。
