This month, Ocean Network launched a model that is hard to dislike, which is BYD. This model not only looks trendy and artistic, but also carries a series of high-end BYD self-developed technologies, making it quickly become another popular BYD model in offline stores. During the time when Sina Auto went to the store to shoot, there was an endless stream of interested owners who came to the store to see the car and test drive the Sea Lion 07EV, and even watched three consumers place orders directly. The Sea Lion 07EV showed a very strong desire to buy a car. What are the highlights of this car in terms of static "talent"?
The Haishi 07 EV is positioned as a "mid-sized urban smart electric SUV", and the official price guide on the market is 189,800 yuan – 239,800 yuan. The car is the first model built by e-platform 3.0 Evo, equipped with 12 pioneering technologies and more than 100 standard equipment for all series. It is refreshing in terms of safety, comfort, intelligence, performance, efficiency, and appearance.
Full appearance adopts concept car design concept
The exterior design style of the Sea Lion 07EV is based on the previous Ocean X concept car, and the exterior design of the whole vehicle adopts the design language of Ocean X Face. Not only is the line outline full, but every line can bring a very comfortable sensory enjoyment. It is no exaggeration to say that there is a charm of art.
The size of the entire vehicle of the Sea Lion 07EV is 4,830mm long × 1,925mm wide × 1,620mm high, and the wheelbase is 2,930mm. According to the positioning of the market segment, it is a pure electric medium-sized SUV model. Unlike the photos, the volume of the real car is still very large, and the overall body is very "muscular". This design style also makes many people who come to see the car comment that this appearance is very advanced. So although the positioning of the model is an SUV, the design style is more independent of which specific model, which is very durable.
The bulging design style of the front of the car, as well as the exaggerated flight contour on the top of the front cabin cover, makes the front of the car very visually impactful. Coupled with the highly designed headlights, the overall contour of the front of the car is very beautiful and highly recognizable.
The design style used in the headlights of the Sea Lion 07EV is very superfast. The Haiyue double U floating headlights, combined with LED daytime running lights, combine to form a boomerang style. A pair of bright headlights has always been the best criterion for a car’s aesthetic rise. It is precisely because of the addition of this group of headlights that the artistic sense of the whole vehicle is even stronger.
The design of the front safety profile and air diversion of the Sea Lion 07EV is very complicated. First of all, the outer profile of the air intake grille adopts a trapezoidal structure, and the middle is equipped with a forward millimeter wave radar. The left and right sides are equipped with black decorative strips, forming a double "X" shape with the lower lines.
The whole is in the form of the letter "X", and the lower surrounding sides are designed with ventilation ducts to guide the airflow on the windward side of the front.
The body posture on the side of the car is very harmonious, similar to the C and D pillars on the lower back, which allows the vehicle to form a more streamlined body line. The rear windows of the Sea Lion 07EV are designed with privacy glass, and the whole system is equipped with front insulation/sound insulation glass as standard.
The wheel arches/eyebrows of the four wheels are relatively exaggerated, and the black paint stretches the size of the tire for visual effect, which will be exaggerated in the visual sense.
The wheel set parameters of the Sea Lion 07EV are rather exaggerated. Not only are there 19 or 20-inch rims available, but the front and rear tire widths are also different. For example, the front tire of the long-endurance version is too wide to be 235, and the rear tire width is 255. The wheel hub shape uses a silver and black two-color low-wind resistance five-frame shape, which is more moderate, but also very harmonious.
The four doors of the Sea Lion 07EV are swing doors, and they are all framed doors. The door handle is a hidden telescopic door handle, which can be set in the car. After unlocking, only the main driver’s side is opened, or the four doors are fully open.
The rear department of the Sea Lion 07EV is more biased towards the styling design of the dynasty net. The taillights use designs such as the Haitian line-through momentum taillights, and for the first time use the evolved LED post-luminous LOGO technology, showing two states of metallic texture and translucent light. This design is not abrupt, and the absolute recognition can be full.
The ducktail at the rear of the car and the spoiler above the trunk door are actually more about the unity and harmony of the design style. For an SUV, form outweighs significance.
The taillight set uses a bright starlight design style. The warning effect of the dot matrix taillight is obvious, and it is also very beautiful when lit.
The rear trunk door is also electrically opened/closed, and the limit can still be customized to meet the needs of owners of different heights.
The trunk volume of the Sea Lion 07EV reaches 500L. After the second row of seats is reclined, the storage volume can be doubled. For the need to move some large pieces, the Sea Lion 07EV can support the completion.
In addition, the whole car also has up to 20 storage spaces of different sizes, which can fully meet the various travel needs of different scenarios.
The interior design is quite innovative
The interior style of the Sea Lion 07EV also belongs to the artistic style. In addition to the central rotating screen like other BYD models, the door panels, handrails, and large-scale chrome-plated trims on both sides of the door can be seen as a set of design styles with a strong sense of integrity, rather than a simple patchwork interior layout.
According to the interior copy given by the official, the interior design of the Sea Lion 07EV revolves around "suspension, lightweight, and sense of speed". Its instrument panel is called "floating wings", and the layout of the central control area is "the core of the ocean". In fact, to put it simply, the interior design adopts a more complicated abrasive tool manufacturing process, with rounded corners and twisted door panel handrails, which are really attentive and exquisite.
Surprisingly, the windows on both sides of the Sea Lion 07EV also feature a retro-style triangular window design style, allowing for a more expansive view with independent rearview mirrors and reducing unsafe factors in blind spots.
Only in the design of the car, the Sea Lion 07EV is given a more sense of quality and refinement, coupled with the suspended central control screen inherited by BYD and the small gear lever with crystal texture, giving the car a strong boutique atmosphere.
The steering wheel used a four-frame structure, maintaining the inheritance of BYD’s Chinese label on the steering wheel, and the paddles on both sides adjusted the smart driver. At present, only BYD has done it. When activating and adjusting the smart driver, the control button of the Chinese label is used, which is simple and easy to understand for "Xiaobai".
In terms of smart driving, the Sea Lion 07EV adopts the "Eye of the Gods" high-level intelligent auxiliary driving system, that is, DiLink 100–DiPilot 100. The system has the function of high-speed navigation. Its hardware is matched with 8 million pixel binocular camera, and the detection range is 200 meters in front of the car and 120 ° in front of the car. The smart driving system is based on a powerful computing platform and an open content ecosystem. It fully integrates personal digital end point, car machine, and cloud. Through a variety of interaction forms, it can realize mainstream L2 + level high-level intelligent auxiliary driving capabilities such as automatic parking and dial lane change.
In terms of configuration, the BYD Sea Lion 07EV is equipped with electric sunshades, panoramic canopy, 50W wireless fast charging on the main driver side, rain-sensing boneless wipers, front seat ventilation and heating, and front-mounted ETC. The high-end model also features Nappa leather seats and fragrance systems, as well as an AR-HUD head-up display system with a display area of 50 inches, and a magnetic on-board microphone.
In the smart cockpit and human-computer interaction functions, DiLink 100 integrates human digital end points, cars, and clouds, and creates "thousands of people, thousands of faces, the driver’s exclusive cockpit" through various interaction forms. Calling out Xiaodi can not only voice control the opening and closing of car windows, temperature adjustment, and daily information broadcast.
The central floating screen of the Sea Lion 07EV can still be rotated and split-screen displayed, and various authorized software can be installed openly, providing more ways to relax during the journey.
In terms of the whole system configuration, the Sea Lion 07EV comes standard with a 12-speaker HiFi-level customized Danah audio, which can bring good sound effects. You can see that the four door panels are matched with Danah speakers, separating the high and low parts.
The workmanship level of the Sea Lion 07EV is online, and the combination of each different material is very rigorous. For a pure electric model that can be bought for 18-240,000 yuan, this car really has absolute advantages. And the rear space and the angle of the rear seat back are very comfortable, which is why everyone who looks at the Sea Lion 07EV intends to give great affirmation to the owner.
Power and battery life advantages
