The same as the annual explosion, Changan Deep Blue SL03 and BYD Seal, which is more popular?
The same is the heavyweight new energy vehicle of the year, the same is the 200,000-class joint venture B-class car disruptor, and they are all listed in July 2022. Many similarities make Changan Deep Blue SL03 and BYD Seal a hit in the eyes of consumers, but it is difficult to choose. So, which of the two is more popular with consumers? Let’s compare and analyze what are the differences between them.
In terms of price
Strictly speaking, Changan Deep Blue SL03 and BYD Seal are not completely direct competition, because Changan Deep Blue SL03 covers the 171,900 – 221,900 price range, while BYD Seal covers the 212,800 – 289,800 price range, the two are obviously competing with the joint venture B-class market. However, in terms of range, Changan Deep Blue SL03’s 515KM and 705KM pure electric versions will compete with BYD Seal’s 550KM and 700KM, but Changan Deep Blue SL03’s pricing is obviously more affordable and therefore more popular.
Appearance
The car market dominated by male consumers, especially young male consumers, obviously prefer the tough mecha style of Changan Deep Blue SL03, with a low body posture + sharp lines + frameless door + hatchback tailgate. It is difficult to see that this is only a new energy vehicle of about 200,000 yuan after covering the logo. The appearance of BYD Seal is also very good, especially the design concept of "Ocean Aesthetics". The rounded and cute shape outlined by the curve is indeed easy to make people feel heartbroken, but compared with the future technology sense of Changan Deep Blue SL03, it still loses a little momentum.
Interior
In terms of interior, although the price of Changan dark blue SL03 is very affordable, it does not reduce the level of interior decoration, on the contrary, it expresses Changan’s sufficient sincerity. Simplicity is the biggest feature of Changan dark blue SL03 interior. It abandons the traditional stop rod, cancels a lot of physical buttons, and hides the trend of air conditioning… The overall gives a clean and minimalist beauty. The interior of BYD Seal maintains the design concept of "marine aesthetics" of the appearance. Different from the straight line decoration of Changan dark blue SL03, it is better at curvilinear outline, giving people a sense of atmospheric elegance as a whole.
configuration
The configuration of BYD Seal is very rich, but it is still a little embarrassing for the Changan Deep Blue SL03 at the same price, which is mainly due to the difference in pricing between the two. The top configuration of Changan Deep Blue SL03 is naturally more attractive than the entry-level BYD Seal at the same price. Take the Changan Deep Blue SL03 705KM pure electric version and the BYD Seal 550KM standard battery life rear drive version as an example. The former comes standard with a more intelligent AR-HUD head-up display system, 3D holographic face login, car system gesture control, fatigue driving prompts and other configurations; in addition, it can also be equipped with automatic lane change, automatic parking, tracking reversing and other configurations, while BYD Seal does not have these intelligent configurations. It is worth mentioning that the Changan Deep Blue SL03 is also equipped with a 14.6-inch sunflower screen, which can be intelligently turned left and right with the driver, providing better aesthetics and functionality.
Battery life
The Changan Deep Blue SL03 uses the Sanyuanli battery of Ningde Times and China Innovation Aviation, and the BYD Seal is equipped with a self-developed lithium iron phosphate blade battery, so there is no need to worry about safety. However, in addition to the pure electric version, the Changan Deep Blue SL03 also has an oil and electric extended range version, with a comprehensive cruising range of up to 1200 kilometers, and a comprehensive fuel consumption of only 0.75L for 100 kilometers. This is undoubtedly a better choice for consumers with high requirements for battery life. As for the pure electric version, the Changan Deep Blue SL03 at the same price can reach a cruising range of 705 kilometers, while the BYD Seal can only buy the 550KM standard cruising rear-drive version of the elite type and the distinguished type. Although the BYD Seal also has a 700-kilometer long cruising version, the price is much higher than 40,000, and the cost performance is not high. It is worth mentioning that the top version of the BYD Seal can last up to 650 kilometers and has a four-wheel drive system with a zero-hundred acceleration of 3.8 seconds, but the price is relatively high, and there are many new energy vehicles that can be replaced at the same price.
In general, Changan Deep Blue SL03 and BYD Seal are both must-see explosions of the year, and both are very popular with consumers. If you have to say that the difference between the two is mainly in terms of price and configuration. As for appearance, control, battery life, etc., there is no absolute difference. So, the budget is about 200,000 to buy new energy vehicles. Do you choose Changan Deep Blue SL03 or BYD Seal?
