Since BYD looked up to the brand and began to continuously release the preview of R1, this model has become the most anticipated domestic SUV for car riders in recent days. Just this afternoon, "Dare to cross the Milky Way" looked forward to the brand and technology conference held in Shenzhen. Let’s take a look with the car brother.
As we all know, BYD looks to R1 as a brand-new hard-core SUV of BYD’s high-end brand, which will adopt a non-loaded body and be equipped with four-wheel and four-motor independent drive. At this conference, the official name of the new car was: Looking up at U8, while R1, which everyone was familiar with earlier, was just an internal code name.
The appearance of looking up at U8 is still handled by Wolfgang Joseph Eiger, which is basically not much different from the renderings exposed by netizens before. I believe everyone has been psychologically prepared. Officially, this design language is called "dimension door". I have to say that the shape is really unique and highly recognizable, but I don’t know if it can be accepted by most consumers.
Viewed from the side, the square shape of U8 is very eye-catching, and the overall effect is particularly hard-core, with a strong gas field. It is worth noting that in terms of size, the new car has a length of 5300mm and a wheelbase of 3050mm, and it will also provide R20-inch wheels with a tire size of 275/60 R20.
The highlight of the tail modeling is the design of the taillight group, which basically echoes the design of the front face, but fortunately, it is also equipped with welcome lighting language, which adds a lot of sense of ceremony. It’s just a pity that the interior and price of this U8 were not announced at this conference, so that we don’t know what this "million-level" is at present.
In addition to the debut of U8, this brand launch conference officially released its core technology "Easy Sifang", which is based on electric drive, electronic control, battery and fusion perception, and can realize independent control of four motors, extreme anti-skid control and body stability control. The official also claimed that in the future, the "Easy Sifang" technology will be equipped as standard on all models of the brand.
Specifically, as the first mass-produced four-motor drive technology in China, "Easy Sifang" technology is known as the "golden key" to provide users with the ultimate safety, which can accurately control the four-wheel dynamics of vehicles by virtue of the four-motor independent vector control technology, thus breaking the imagination of traditional automobiles and creating a brand-new automobile safety technology system.
Thanks to this technology, the model based on "Easy Sifang" can not only provide users with greater safety redundancy, but also enjoy the ultimate performance and experience. After all, with the independent positive and negative torque output capability of four-motor drive technology, it is not impossible to realize flexible in-situ U-turn function on asphalt roads and other high adhesion roads.
If you think that’s all the content of this conference, it’s a bit hasty. During the egg time, BYD looks forward to launching its second model, which is also based on the "Easy Sifang" platform: looking up at U9.
The new car is positioned in a super sports car, and its appearance design is the same as U8, which uses the design language of "dimension door", and the visual effect is very shocking. It is worth mentioning that the new car will also be equipped with a butterfly door opening mode, and the acceleration of 0-100km/h will reach 2 seconds. I just don’t know why, playing with my brother always feels a bit like McLaren P1.
In any case, this time I hope that the conference will bring a lot of shock to the domestic market. Although many people may still think that BYD’s brand has always focused on the low-end market, it is a bit unacceptable to suddenly raise the price so much. However, it has to be admitted that this also represents the determination of BYD’s brand development breakthrough. Sometimes car companies just lack such courage and courage, not to mention their own brands that have only risen in recent years.
As for the design and interior part of the dispute, the car brother will not discuss it. Looking forward to whether the brand can set off a tsunami of luxury brands in the future, we can only give time and the market an answer.
