06GT, a seal belonging to young people, is coming. Is it worth the in-depth analysis？

First, the history of vehicle development

It is a GT model specially built by BYD Ocean Network for young people. It was officially unveiled at Chengdu Auto Show on August 30, 2024, and then officially listed on October 18. As a new member of BYD Ocean Network, Seal 06GT is built based on BYD e platform 3.0 Evo, and integrates a number of world-first technologies to meet the diversified car demand of young users. The starting price is 136,800, and the maximum price is 186,800, including four versions.

Second, the shape

Seal 06GT adopts marine aesthetic design, and its body lines are smooth. The slip-back shape not only increases the sense of movement, but also reduces the wind resistance. In the front face, the long and narrow LED headlight group combined with the rib line of the cabin cover, showing a downward dive posture. The design of the side of the car body, the hidden door handle and the penetrating waistline further enhance the overall sense and sense of movement of the vehicle. In the rear part, the penetrating taillights are unique in shape and have high recognition after lighting. However, there are only four body colors, and there are relatively few choices, which may not meet the individual needs of all consumers.

Third, the interior

The interior of Seal 06GT continues the design concept of marine aesthetics, with simplicity as the main tone and a sense of science and technology. The central control panel has ups and downs, with a floating central control panel and a full LCD instrument panel, and the overall visual effect is excellent. The seat adopts an integrated sports seat, which has good wrapping and support. In addition, the car is also equipped with multi-color atmosphere lights and liftable cup holder atmosphere lights, which further enhances the driving experience. However, the details are not advanced enough, such as the texture of the buttons around the gear handle needs to be improved.

Fourth, the cockpit

Seal 06GT comes standard with the high-end version of intelligent cockpit -DiLink 100, which adopts 6nm cockpit chip and supports functions such as full-scene intelligent voice, map & wallpaper dual desktop. The car is also equipped with a 15.6-inch adaptive rotating suspension Pad and a 10.25-inch full LCD instrument, as well as a 12-inch W-HUD head-up display system, which provides drivers with rich information display and operation experience. This configuration also makes up for the general lack of intelligence of GT models of current fuel vehicles.

V. Space

The size of Seal 06GT is 4630×1880×1490mm, and the wheelbase is 2820mm, which provides spacious legroom for passengers in the car. At the same time, the car is also equipped with nearly 29 different storage spaces to facilitate passengers to store items. However, as a hatchback, the space in the trunk of Seal 06GT is relatively limited, which may not meet the loading requirements of large items.

VI. Safety

Seal 06GT performed well in safety, adopting the world’s first CTB vehicle safety architecture technology cluster, and adopting the industry’s first TRB integrated thermoformed front apron, 1,500 MPa ultra-high-strength closed rolling beam and deep integration with high-strength blade batteries to form an endoskeleton CTB safety architecture. In addition, 11 airbags and DiPilot intelligent driver assistance system are standard in the whole system, providing all-round safety guarantee for drivers and passengers.

VII. Motivation

Seal 06GT offers single motor rear drive and two power layouts. The maximum power of single motor models is 160 kW and 165 kW respectively, and the cruising range can reach up to 605km. The comprehensive maximum power of the model is as high as 310kW, the acceleration time of 100 kilometers is only 4.9 seconds, and the dynamic performance is strong. However, the price of the four-wheel drive model is 186,800, which is relatively high.

Eight, manipulation

Seal 06GT adopts front double-ball McPherson+rear five-link independent suspension, which decouples handling and ride comfort and brings outstanding driving stability. At the same time, thanks to the layout of the hatchback, Seal 06GT is more flexible when turning around and turning, with a minimum turning radius of 5.6m, and its handling performance is better than that of a car. The top four-wheel drive version also has FSD variable damping shock absorber, which greatly improves the comfort.

Nine, intelligent driving

Seal 06GT is equipped with DiPilot intelligent driving assistance system, which has many functions such as adaptive cruise, lane departure assistance, blind spot monitoring, automatic emergency braking and so on. These functions can greatly reduce the driver’s driving burden and improve driving safety, but these auxiliary driving functions are relatively simple and do not have the ability of high-speed navigation and urban navigation, which I am afraid young people will not buy.

X. Comparison of competing products

In the same price segment, the main competing products of Seal 06GT include Volkswagen ID.3, Tesla and other models. Compared with competing products, Seal 06GT has the following advantages:

1. power performanceThe four-wheel drive model of Seal 06GT has a 100-kilometer acceleration time of only 4.9 seconds and strong dynamic performance.
2. Security configurationSeal 06GT adopts the world’s first CTB vehicle safety architecture technology cluster, and the whole system comes standard with 11 airbags and DiPilot intelligent driver assistance system, with rich safety configuration.
3. Intelligent cockpitThe intelligent cockpit system of Seal 06GT is rich in configuration, strong in science and technology, and easy to operate.

However, Seal 06GT also has some shortcomings, such as relatively small trunk space, and some high-tech security configurations may require extra fees.

XI. Conclusions and recommendations

Seal 06GT is a pure electric medium-sized car with five advantages of aesthetics, safety, efficiency, intelligence and comfort. With its excellent dynamic performance, rich safety configuration and intelligent cockpit configuration, it has strong competitiveness in the same price segment. For young consumers who are looking for performance and technology, Seal 06GT is undoubtedly a worthy choice. However, before buying a car, potential car buyers should also fully consider their actual needs and budgets, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of Seal 06GT and competing products, so as to make more informed decisions.

It is suggested that potential car buyers should know more about the configuration, price and preferential policies of Seal 06GT before buying a car, and experience the actual performance of the vehicle by test drive. At the same time, we can also pay attention to the performance and market feedback of other competing products in order to make a more comprehensive comparison and selection.
