Flagship aura: Marine aesthetics 2.0 defines high-end design, with a body of over 5.1 meters that is admired at first glance
Thanks to the evolution of the marine aesthetics 2.0 design concept, Hiace 08's stretched and smooth lines allow the over-5.1-meter body to get rid of the bloated feeling of traditional large cars, presenting a high-end and elegant flagship aura. The design of the Ice Eye daytime running lamp is inspired by high-end jewelry cutting. Nearly 9,000 three-dimensional refractive surfaces make the light and shadow levels transparent and delicate. In terms of color, Hiace 08 uses the same BASF varnish used on million-dollar luxury cars. It offers 6 high-end colors and 2 dual-color appearances, integrating the beauty of light and shadow at different times of the ocean into the body.
Sitting in the car, the 17.3-inch ultra-narrow-edge central control screen is linked with the new embedded instrument dual-screen, which is full of technology. The lustrous mother-of-pearl veneer texture, 100% soft covering of high-frequency interior contact surfaces, maternal and infant-grade environmentally friendly materials, and a 2.83㎡ high-end knitted velvet ceiling jointly create a cabin atmosphere with excellent texture. The two interior colors of Light Cloud White and Ningye Purple are high-end and attractive, satisfying different aesthetic preferences.
Flagship driving control: intelligent chassis blessing, both comfort and controllability
In terms of driving control, Hiace 08 is equipped with a front double-wishbone and rear five-link chassis. The entire series is equipped with the Yunnan-A closed dual-chamber air suspension and rear-wheel steering system as standard. The turning radius of 4.95 meters is leading in its class. Among them, Yunnan-A's closed dual-chamber air suspension supports two levels of adjustable stiffness. It can be raised by 50mm when off-road to improve passability, and automatically lowered by 50mm when welcoming guests to facilitate entry and exit. When loading heavy objects, the height of the vehicle body can be lowered for easy access. It is stable enough to drive in urban areas and does not wobble on bad roads. It is more convenient to get in and out of the vehicle, and it takes less effort to pick up things. At the same time, all Hiace 08 series support automatic parking, and the remote parking assist function easily solves the problem of difficult parking of large vehicles.
Flagship battery life: run far, charge quickly, and have enough piles
All Hiace 08 series are equipped with a native flash charging platform, which provides a high-efficiency recharging experience of 5 minutes for full charging, 9 minutes for full charging, and only 3 minutes more at -30°C temperature. In terms of battery life, the pure electric version of CLTC has a battery life of up to 900km, the plug-in hybrid version of CLTC has a pure electric battery life of 400km, and the comprehensive battery life is 1,650km on full fuel and full power. Under NEDC operating conditions, fuel consumption is as low as 4.6L/100km. Relying on the dual advantages of large battery and flash charging, it can be used as a pure electric car for daily commuting, and for long-distance travel, it can use gasoline and electricity to synergize. Even temporary recharge is as convenient and fast as refueling. As of August 28, BYD has built 10,000 flash charging stations across the country.
Flagship safety: From passive safety, battery safety to smart driving, we protect travel safety throughout the process
Hiace 08's security system is layered with defenses from three major dimensions to resolve potential risks one by one. In terms of passive safety, the entire vehicle adopts a super-strong body structure with nine vertical and thirteen horizontal cages. It is equipped with 11 airbags as standard and cooperates with the tire puncture stability control iTBC system. Even if a tire puncture occurs on a slippery road at a speed of 160km/h, the vehicle body can still be kept stable and controllable. In terms of battery safety, all Hiace 08 series are equipped with industry-leading second-generation blade batteries, which have ultra-high safety performance. In terms of smart driving safety, all Hiace 08 series come standard with the God's Eye B-assisted driving laser version, equipped with God's Eye 5.0, which promises to provide both smart parking and city navigation.
Flagship Comfort: Available in two layouts: five-seater or six-seater, unlocking a comfortable travel experience in all scenarios
Based on a deep insight into the travel needs of family users, Hiace 08 offers two layouts of five or six seats, creating a comfortable experience in all scenarios. The five-seater version has a flat floor in the rear, and dual zero-gravity seats in the front with heating, ventilation, and massage functions. The main and passenger seats and the second-row right seat are equipped with electric leg rests that can be adjusted up to 83°. The five-seat EV version has a 943L trunk and a 201L electric front trunk, which can easily accommodate 5 people and 12 boxes, and is fully adaptable for storage, riding, and travel.
The six-seater version has an occupancy rate of 89.2%, converting size data into real seating and loading space. Industry-leading over 140 seat combinations eliminate the need for all vehicle occupants to accommodate each other. The transversely movable true zero-gravity seat and central independent aisle make it especially convenient for the elderly and children to enter and exit. The industry's first three-row storage space can effectively organize the debris in the rear row, making travel more tidy and orderly. A 21.4-inch high-definition rear ceiling screen, combined with a 25-speaker Devialet sound system and Dolby Atmos, instantly transforms the back row into an exclusive box for watching dramas and movies. The field of view of the streaming media interior rearview mirror can be up to three times that of a traditional rearview mirror, bringing a more secure driving experience. With the three rows of seats folded down, the trunk volume can reach up to 1173L.
In addition, there are up to 53 storage spaces in the entire car, allowing every personal item to find its own place. The front door panel has an umbrella slot with a hidden drain outlet, a grooved front floating table, a three-layer progressive storage layout for the secondary instruments, and 8 open ecological expansion points throughout the vehicle. The ingenuity in every detail is used to build a mobile first-class cabin for the whole family, and to enhance the happiness of family travel with an exclusive experience. (Xinhuanet client)
