On March 16, the launch event for the BYD second-generation Yuan PLUS Smart Driving Edition made a refreshed arrival at Erqi Wanda in Zhengzhou. The entire series comes standard with the God's Eye C — High-Level Smart Driving Triple-Camera Edition (DiPilot 100), arriving with five major upgrades, priced from 115,800 yuan to 145,800 yuan. The new car offers five variants, with high-level smart driving and full-scenario intelligent parking available from the entry-level model. With five major upgrades in "exterior, interior, smart driving, smart cockpit, and safety," it brings a comprehensively elevated value experience to fashionable families, energetic young women, and Yuan-power youth.
The exterior of the Yuan PLUS Smart Driving Edition continues the Dragon Face aesthetics. The front fascia retains the Dynasty Network's signature through-type chrome trim strip, while the geometric cut-surface elements on both sides of the newly styled front bumper below deliver a stronger visual impact.
Thanks to the e-Platform 3.0, the new car measures 4,455 mm in length, 1,875 mm in width, and 1,615 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,720 mm, delivering a more spacious and comfortable driving and riding space.
Stepping into the full-scenario comfort cockpit, the center console wrapped in twilight gray gradient suede, paired with matte metal trim, creates a light-luxury texture. Equipped with the DiLink 100 system and built on a 5G chip foundation, it creates a three-screen interaction matrix of a 12-inch W-HUD + 8.8-inch instrument cluster + 15.6-inch rotating Pad, making seamless navigation information flow and visualized 3D vehicle control operations possible, achieving "what you think is what you get." At the same time, the integrated electronic column shifter, standard across the entire series, enables intuitive operation with "hands never leaving the wheel," making driving more convenient and safer.
The most noteworthy feature is the equipped God's Eye C smart driving system. Through a super-perception network built by 29 sensors, it achieves intelligent driving covering all scenarios of highways, urban areas, and parking. It handles things with ease like an "experienced driver," making intelligent driving no longer out of reach.
The Yuan-power comfort split seats are wrapped in Nappa-grade leather, with six-way power adjustment for the driver's seat plus ventilation and heating, turning the commute into a SPA-level enjoyment in an instant.
In terms of active safety, the AEB automatic emergency braking system can accurately identify various sudden crisis scenarios, providing drivers with timely and effective protection. In terms of passive safety, the 1500MPa ultra-high-strength steel body and 7 airbags form a dual protection, setting a new benchmark for safety in the same class. This dual-dimensional safety fortress design allows drivers to enjoy the convenience brought by intelligent technology while also having a full sense of security.
The second-generation Yuan PLUS Smart Driving Edition not only recalibrates the value yardstick for pure electric SUVs in the 150,000-yuan class, but also demonstrates BYD's original aspiration of "technology for all." In this era of accelerating involution in intelligent electric vehicles, BYD, with its outstanding technological strength and keen market insight, once again leads the industry trend.
