Is the BYD Yuan New Energy a plug-in hybrid?
2 Answers
BYD Yuan New Energy is not a plug-in hybrid vehicle; it is a pure electric vehicle. The BYD Yuan New Energy comes in two different horsepower variants: one with 95 horsepower and another with 163 horsepower. This is a single-motor model, and it uses a ternary lithium battery. Here is some related information about the BYD Yuan: 1. Most pure electric vehicles use ternary lithium batteries, which have higher energy density and are lighter in weight. 2. The front suspension of this vehicle uses a MacPherson independent suspension, while the rear suspension uses a torsion beam non-independent suspension. This is a small pure electric SUV, and there is not enough space in the rear to accommodate an independent suspension, so the torsion beam non-independent suspension is used for the rear suspension.
Is the BYD Yuan New Energy a plug-in hybrid? I've checked a lot of information, and in fact, it has multiple versions: the BYD Yuan New Energy series includes pure electric models like the Yuan Pro, as well as plug-in hybrid versions. A plug-in hybrid is the type that can run on both electricity and fuel. For short daily commutes, driving purely on electricity for several tens of kilometers is no problem, and for long trips, the combination of fuel and electricity makes it more worry-free. As a fan who frequently follows automotive technology, I find its configuration quite flexible, especially since BYD's DM-i system is quite famous, making it suitable for those looking to transition from gasoline cars to pure electric vehicles. I've also compared it with hybrid cars from other brands, and the advantage of the Yuan New Energy lies in its moderate price, plus the ease of obtaining a new energy license plate, which helps avoid traffic restrictions. However, when buying a car, you need to pay attention to the specific model, as not all variants are plug-in hybrids. I recommend test driving to experience the convenience of charging and the range performance—it's definitely worry-free for city driving.
