Bitauto Original In the past few years, when buying a mid-sized car worth 200,000 yuan, many people would think of models such as Magotan, Accord, and Camry. But as new technologies continue to roll in, the mid-sized sedans you can buy for 200,000 yuan now are quite different. They are more handsome, faster, and more environmentally friendly. At this level, Changan Deep Blue SL03 and BYD Seal are the best. In this article, we will compare the two and see which one is the better solution.
Compare models:
Changan Deep Blue SL03 2022 pure electric version 705km, guide price: 22.19 yuan;
BYD Seal 2022 model 550km rear-wheel drive standard range premium model, guide price: 22.58 yuan;
Style comparison: Who is more coupe-like?
Chang'an Deep Blue SL03 is built on Changan's new EPA1 platform. The vehicle has a simple shape and does not use overly complicated elements to create a strong sense of technology. People can tell at a glance that it is a new energy model. . The rear of the car adopts a fastback design, which is a major feature of it. Supplemented by a suspended rear wing, the sporty shape is unique among models of the same level.
Frameless doors are another major feature of SL03. For young users who pursue a sporty feel, this configuration is a great bonus.
BYD Seal also adopts a relatively concise design language. Unlike the Changan Dark Blue SL03, it uses more curved designs to enhance the dynamics of the vehicle. It looks more fashionable, but it is slightly inferior in creating a sense of technology. In terms of structure, Seal still uses a traditional sedan design and does not use a fastback shape to enhance the dynamic feel.
I don’t know if you have noticed a phenomenon. Nowadays, the rims of new energy vehicles are becoming more and more curled. Not only are the shapes becoming more and more complex, but the sizes are also getting larger and larger. What should you do if you want more handsome large-size rims? Add money! So for these two models, both priced at more than 220,000 yuan, what is the difference?
Changan Dark Blue SL03 is equipped with 19-inch two-color wheels, and the tire specifications are 245/45 R19. The shape of the rims is very technological, and the large closed shape fits well with its status as a new energy model. In terms of details, this set of wheels also uses a variety of processes to enhance the visual experience, and is highly consistent with the styling design of the entire vehicle.
BYD Seal, which is nearly 4,000 yuan more expensive, is equipped with smaller 18-inch wheels and tire specifications of 225/50 R18. This set of wheels also uses a two-color combination, but the overall shape does not give people a strong sense of technology and feels closer to a fuel vehicle. Although the 19-inch wheels on Seal's high-end models look cool, they cost extra.
Interior + Intelligence Who can understand the driver better?
The interior of Changan Dark Blue SL03 adopts the minimalist style that is very popular in new energy models. The functions are highly integrated in the screen. The driver can make convenient operations through voice and shortcut keys. operate. In terms of materials, in addition to conventional soft leather coverings, designers also added stitching embellishments to details to enhance the atmosphere inside the car.
The most eye-catching feature in the car is the 14.6-inch large central control screen in the center. Because it can rotate left and right up to 15°, it is officially called the sunflower screen. The picture above shows the state when the screen is tilted toward the driver. We can also freely set the deflection angle of the screen in the settings, or adjust it through voice.
In terms of intelligent configuration, Changan Deep Blue SL03 is equipped with the industry's top 8-core high-computing power Snapdragon 8155 car-grade chip, with a computing speed of up to 360 million times/ seconds. With the support of this chip, the car-machine system can support richer functions, such as full-cabin intelligent scene mode, gesture interaction, 3D holographic face login and other highlights, which will be introduced in detail below.
Full-cabin intelligent scene mode
The intelligent interactive system automatically recommends relevant scene modes based on the current vehicle status, allowing the in-car environment to quickly adjust to the preset scene. The system has preset 9 modes for users to choose from, including in-car care mode, privacy mode, constant temperature cockpit mode, smoking mode, camping mode, nap mode, ice and snow mode, campfire mode, and music and light show mode.
3D holographic face login
Even if the vehicle is lent to a friend or relative, after unlocking the vehicle and taking a seat, recognizing the face and logging in to the vehicle account, the vehicle's personalized settings will be automatically turned on, allowing everything familiar to be returned to its place.
Gesture interaction
Through gesture control in the central control area, functions such as taking pictures, temporarily suspending songs, and playing are realized.
In addition to the above functions, Changan Deep Blue SL03 is also equipped with the driver's exclusive headrest speakers, which can realize the driver's call privacy, exclusive music and other functions, without disturbing other passengers, while ensuring the driver's exclusive privileges .
Looking at the interior design of BYD Seal, its shape incorporates more Chinese elements. The style is different from Changan Dark Blue SL03. The designers of Seal used more round elements to highlight the car. atmosphere inside. In terms of materials, the seal materials are also very good, using a lot of leather and suede materials.
The size of Seal’s central control screen is 15.6 inches. Friends who are familiar with BYD should be familiar with this screen. Simply put, it is a large tablet that can not only rotate, but also has many third-party built-in functions. software.
In terms of intelligent configuration, Seal's car-machine system adopts the latest DiLink system. Its advantage is high openness, and many third-party software inside can bring a convenient experience. However, in terms of the most popular automotive chips, Seal does not use the current mainstream Qualcomm 8155 chip. And because the degree of integration between each software and the car is uneven, adaptation problems sometimes occur, resulting in a degraded user experience.
Next, let’s take a look at the performance of these two cars in terms of intelligent driving. As new energy models worth more than 200,000 yuan, both are undoubtedly equipped with L2 driving assistance systems, which can realize ACC adaptive cruise and lane keeping. , lane departure warning, collision warning, active braking, road traffic sign recognition and other functions, it is easy to meet the needs of daily use. But in terms of driving hardware, the lower-priced Changan Deep Blue SL03 has the advantage.
On the basis of 4 surround-view cameras, 3 millimeter wave radars, and 2 front and rear 4 millimeter wave radars, Changan Deep Blue SL03 also has an additional single forward sensing camera and environment sensing camera, which makes it It can realize functions including remote control parking, remote car moving, memory parking, tracking reversing, intelligent up and down ramps, etc. Users who need it can choose it when buying a car.
Space experience: all necessary for riding and storage?
After taking a look at the exterior and interior, let’s compare the seating space and storage space between the two. Here is a set of data. Both cars are medium-sized cars. The Changan Deep Blue SL03 has a body size of 4820*1890*1480mm and a wheelbase of 2900mm; BYD Seal has a body size of 4800*1875*1460*2920mm. The basic data of the two can be said to be very close, and both can meet daily use very well. So the next thing to compare is who can go further and achieve excellence.
We focus on the seating space in the rear row, because the space in the front row is sufficient for the driver. First, let’s look at the rear space of Changan Deep Blue SL03. An experiencer with a height of 180cm has one punch of headroom and more than two punches of legroom in the back row.
Looking at the seal next, the 174cm tall experiencer has 4 fingers of headroom in the back row. The headroom is ample and more than two punches.
As for the rear floor, both cars have handled it well and achieved a flat floor to maximize the seating space. (On the left is Changan Deep Blue SL03, on the right is BYD Seal)
In terms of storage space, the Changan Deep Blue SL03 pure electric version is equipped with a front trunk with an officially announced volume of 70L.
The interior of the trunk of Changan Dark Blue SL03 is very neat. Thanks to the hatchback shape, the opening of the trunk is very large, which is also very convenient when placing large items. The 705km range model we compared is also equipped with an electric trunk and tailgate position memory.
BYD Seal is also equipped with a front trunk with an internal volume of 53L.
The trunk of Seal is also regular, but because it is a traditional sedan structure, the opening of the trunk is smaller, and the loading capacity is weaker than that of the hatchback dark blue SL03.
Acceleration + Battery Life: Which one is better with similar budget?
Coming to the parts of battery life and acceleration that everyone is most concerned about, this is also the first factor that many people consider when buying new energy vehicles.
The Changan Deep Blue SL03 we compared is a long-range version, with a CLTC pure electric range of 705km, a permanent magnet synchronous motor with a maximum power of 160kW, a peak torque of 320N·m, and an acceleration time of 0-100km/h of 6.9s.
With a similar budget, you can only buy the standard range version of BYD Seal. The CLTC pure electric range of the comparison model is 550km, the maximum power of the permanent magnet synchronous motor is 150kW, the peak torque is 310N·m, and it can accelerate from 0-100km/h. The time is 7.5s.
Although both are rear-mounted and rear-wheel drive, there is a big gap in terms of data. The Changan Deep Blue SL03 has a range of 155km longer than the Seal, and it also has faster acceleration from 0 to 100km/h. ability. For car owners, it will undoubtedly bring a better travel experience.
In fact, at the price of 200,000 yuan, the Changan Deep Blue SL03 with a range of over 700km is already firmly in the first echelon. It not only has advantages over Seals, but also has obvious advantages over other pure electric models in the same price range. It’s rare to see a car with a range of more than 700km at this price.
Edit summary:
BYD Seal has been highly anticipated even before it was launched on the market. It has gained a lot of attention and has been called the industry benchmark by many netizens. Indeed, it has its own uniqueness in appearance design and power. But after comparison, we can see that at the same priceAt the bottom, Changan Deep Blue SL03 even has performance that exceeds the benchmark. It has a battery life of 705km, a power performance of 6.9s that can break 100, and a sporty shape of hatchback + frameless doors. These are its "killer features", which are very attractive to young people. It is also more attractive to users.
In addition, if you care about performance, Changan Deep Blue SL03 also provides a more cost-effective 515km range version, which can accelerate from 0 to 100 seconds in 5.9 seconds. Compared with Seal's entry-level model, it is more affordable and has better performance. Given the same budget, what would you choose?
The new energy automobile industry is seriously involved, and only continuous progress can maintain its position. Whether it is a joint venture brand or an independent brand, they have continued to make efforts in the field of new energy in recent years, with a steady stream of new products. Changan Deep Blue SL03 is also continuing to update itself. With the large-scale delivery of the 705km endurance version and the upcoming delivery of the 515km pure electric high-end smart driving version, it is gradually moving towards becoming a better solution for the 200,000-class new energy sedan. .
