In the compact pure electric SUV market, BYD Yuan PLUS(picture | configuration |) is definitely the dominant level, even if it is placed in the full category of models, it is still the TOP10 position for a long time, so it has become the main Ovens to target products.
Among the many competing products, many people may think of the Geely Galaxy E5, after all, from the price to the battery technology, it can be seen that the Geely Galaxy E5 is aiming at the Yuan PLUS to the positive. However, in addition to the Galaxy E5, there are Nezha, in the galaxy E5 listing on the same day, which Zha launched a new Nezha X, the official starting price is down to 89,800 yuan, compared to the yuan PLUS is a full cheaper 30,000 yuan, which is called by many people is after Nezha L, Nezha another “flip table” model.
So, as a consumer, is to choose the cheaper Nezhx? Or follow the crowd to choose BYD Yuan PLUS?

In contrast, it can be found that the style difference between Nezha X and Yuan PLUS is quite obvious, the former is a powerful mecha wind, the latter’s Longyan design is softer, and the recognition is very high. However, Nezha X has a larger body size and a longer wheelbase, which allows for better interior space than the Yuan PLUS.

The air conditioning outlet is similar to the shape of dumbbell plate, the stopper style resembles the joystick of an aircraft, and the physical buttons and picks are retained around the stopper rod to create a full combat atmosphere. The design of the door panel is equally creative, the sound components and the door handle are combined into one, and the ambient lights are also designed around the bottom of the sound cover and the door panel are connected with three decorative items similar to strings, creating a strong Chinese style.

In terms of battery life, Nezha X provides a capacity of 53.3 degrees and 63.5 degrees of lithium iron phosphate battery packs according to different models, and the pure battery range under CLTC conditions is 401km, 501km, and the whole system is standard with fast charging, 22 minutes can complete 30% to 80% of the recharge, in this level, the charging rate is still relatively fast. However, the power level can only be considered normal, the maximum power is 120kW, the maximum torque is only 220N·m, and the zero acceleration is only 9.5 seconds, which is basically the level of the grocery truck, but it is not a problem to deal with the daily commute.
