In the endless traffic of the city, you may have met her-charming headlights, small and lovely figure, fashionable and beautiful back. She is the F0 mini-car launched by BYD in September 2008. Yes, she is similar to Toyota aygo in appearance, but it is more a continuation of aygo's "fashion" and "ease of use" characteristics. ...
F0 is similar to Toyota aygo which appeared in 2005, but the front and rear lights are different. Comparatively speaking, F0 presents a lovely and fashionable atmosphere: not only the shape of the taillight is in harmony with the whole tail, but also the four protruding "big feet" give people a lovely and solid feeling; Look at her bulging skirt, as well as the upward sloping waistline and downward sloping roof, which constitute a posture ready to go, revealing the taste of racing cars. I believe it will be more eye-catching if it is revised again. When we stop for a test drive, we can always see passers-by approaching her and observing her. Among them are students carrying schoolbags, couples holding hands, and couples who just parked their cars ... Even when we were waiting for the red light, the traffic police on a trailer next to us turned to look down at her-yes, she was much shorter than the trailer. No matter what these people think of her, we can all draw a conclusion that she is definitely an eye-catching car!
As a mini-car, the actual size of the car is the main factor considered by car buyers. As a car with a length of less than 3.5 meters, F0 has obvious advantages in parking and traffic jam, but its width is close to that of a compact car, so the interior space is still good.
Test drive BYD mini-car F0 with cute shake "smart"
The soaring oil price has caused more and more manufacturers to pay attention to the mini-car market. In fact, although the profit is not as attractive as luxury cars and SUVs, the "volume" characteristics of mini-cars can make those pragmatic manufacturers "sweet".
This time, BYD F0, representing a new generation of independent brands, stood in front of me. With sparkling "big eyes" and wearing sexy "backless clothes", there is no doubt that the bizarre F0 is shaking the machine in the mini-car market with its cuteness!
It is undeniable that BYD has gone through a very successful road of reference. From F3, F6 to F3R, every product can remind us of one or several models on the market. Even the F0 in front of us can easily remind the audience of the classic works of Toyota, SMART and Citroen in this field. But this time, BYD obviously made greater efforts in product appearance, making F0 once again an intriguing new model with its own brand.
It has become a trend for fashion cars to take a rounded route, and F0 clearly understands this. Unique teary-eyed headlights, black background, have the feeling of fairy eyes in comics. With a smiling bumper grille, a happy and relaxed expression can easily capture the hearts of young people. The short engine compartment cover and the rubbing strips at the four corners of the vehicle are also lovely embellishments.
The design of the tail is quite innovative. The large-size tail window makes F0 sexy "backless dress", and the same design is only seen on domestic Volvo C30 at present. In addition, the taillights with a strong sense of integrity are also well matched with the tailwindow. However, in order to ensure the integrity of the tail, the rear bumper of F0 protrudes obviously, and the opening mode of the tail window also affects the convenience of taking and placing articles to some extent. In addition, the rear window can only be opened with a key, and there is no button in the car, so it is not very convenient to use. Looking at F0 as a whole, the compact appearance is steady, and the roundness contains cuteness.
Without exception, the mini-car has chosen the design mode of four wheels and four corners, and so has F0, which makes it possible to create enough internal space for daily use even when the length of the car is less than 3.5 meters. Although the height of the front seats cannot be adjusted, the occupants can basically find a comfortable driving posture, and the head space is better than expected.
The rear row space is not F0's strong point, and the leg space and head space are just right. In addition, the rear doors and windows of BYD F0 are not designed as lifting type, but open type. The advantage of this design is that opening at high speed can play a certain role as a skylight, but the ventilation effect at low speed is almost "0", so that passengers sitting in the back row must ask to open the front window or air conditioner.
BYD proudly called F0's 1.0 L gasoline power source "the strongest all-aluminum engine in history". If you scoff at this, you are really wrong! Maximum power 50kw 90n? The maximum torque of M is not inferior to that of 1. 1 L engine of Chery QQ3. In actual driving, this engine is excited and lively. In addition to its high-pitched voice, its extremely linear power output also makes it easy to surpass most A0 cars with 1.3 L displacement in the initial stage. From 2 000 rpm, the engine gives people the feeling of hard work. After that, as long as the accelerator pedal strength increases, the engine will immediately reflect it, accompanied by the forward movement of the car body. As a rare three-cylinder engine at present, I am deeply impressed by its fuel economy, and even think that the fuel consumption value of 4.2 L/ 100 km given by the manufacturer is somewhat moderate. Matching this engine is a 5-speed manual gearbox, which is satisfactory except for a slightly longer shift stroke.
The suspension system of front McPherson rear trailing arm with additional torsion beam is rare in the same class mini-car, which also improves the limit speed of F0 passing through ravines in my mind. In fact, during the whole test drive, there was no abnormal sound common to mini-cars, which gave people more sense of integrity of A-class cars.
The price of 36,900 ~ 46,900 yuan has once again shaken a "smart", and this price range points to the domestic 1 number-Chery QQ3. Compared with the latter, in addition to more active power and ingenious interior, the fashionable and novel appearance is the biggest advantage of F0. If you want to win, it is better to continue to be "smart" in the early marketing. You know, once the aesthetic fatigue of products is formed, it is difficult to set off ripples in sales in the later period.
Test drive experience
From the world-famous F 1 to the interesting F0, from the domestic lowest-priced car that has been heated up by the outside world to the domestic A00-class boutique car, BYD's fashion car F0 has experienced too many ups and downs and attracted a lot of attention. However, with the maturity of China automobile market, this car finally returned to rationality. The pre-sale price of 45,800-55,800 is more in line with the market demand, and the strategic route of BYD's boutique car is finally clearly presented to consumers.
It looks global, but it is also a bit cool, with rich configuration and a little personality. Its power is Xiao Qiang, which is quite fuel-efficient, flexible and full of fun, and its interior and workmanship have made great progress. Driving BYD's lovely latest masterpiece, I am particularly looking forward to the listing in September, and the Chinese car is just around the corner.
● Power: the strongest BYD37 1QA all-aluminum engine in history.
BYD's attention to this car is really surprising. The most commendable is this BYD37 1QA all-aluminum engine. Some parameters are: DOHC double overhead camshaft, 4 valves per cylinder; Bosch's EFI system uses independent ignition without distributor; The lifting power is above 50kW, and the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is at least 4.2L It is the most powerful and fuel-efficient engine in the same displacement vehicle. All these make F0's dynamic performance not inferior, and it starts even faster than 1.3L car.
The emission of F0 is up to Euro IV standard. With the improvement of national automobile emission standards year by year, Beijing, Shanghai and other places have begun to implement national IV emission standards. F0 has considered environmental protection in advance, and it seems that it is not a problem to adapt to the future auto market. The fuel consumption is 4.2L per 100 kilometers, and the fuel economy is superior.
● Control: The most advanced independent suspension system and chassis technology make competitors feel ashamed.
F0 has the inherent advantages of short body and long wheelbase, which makes the reporter see that the chassis has been well adjusted, stable and has good grip when driving under special road conditions. The rear suspension also has the function of following the driving direction, which makes the turning radius of F0 less than 4.9m Although the mass of F0 is only 870kg, there is no sign of drifting at high speed, and the stability is reassuring. In terms of braking, in the face of fierce control, F0 can also cope with it freely. The sudden brake head sinks slightly and there is no obvious nod, which makes the center of gravity of the car body change little before cornering, making it easier for the driver to master the vehicle dynamics.
● Appearance: The first feeling is deeply attracted as a strategic car for BYD to plan the global market. BYD's designers borrowed from European automotive design elements, giving F0 pleasing facial features. The short and round body, on the one hand, has the lovely nature of the car, on the other hand, it adds a rare sense of stability to the car.
Design: Small cars can also show great wisdom.
The space design of F0 is worth talking about. Although it is a small car, the space is still very commendable. BYD manufacturers have always regarded high-end modeling as a major selling point of F0. F0 has a body length of 3460mm, a height of 16 18mm, a length of 1465mm and a long wheelbase of 2340mm.
In other details, first of all, there is huge storage space on both sides of the dashboard, and glove boxes are designed for both the left and right driver's seats. At the same time, the design of central storage box and four-door storage box makes full use of space.
Sitting in the F0 seat, it is surprising that the front and rear seats are spacious, and the rear seats can be put down as a whole, especially the rear legs will not feel cramped, and it will not be too crowded for three people to sit down. Although the volume of the trunk after opening the window is not very large, it is not beyond the reporter's expectation, and it can fully meet the storage needs of some essential small things.
● Interior: The brand-new style is really excellent.
The humanized design of the interior is quite mini-style, simple, comfortable and classy. The instrument cluster adopts white LED pointer and blue backlight to realize high-definition identification. In addition, it also has a fashionable MP3 interface, which is dynamic and fashionable, simple but not simple. The speedometer stands above the dashboard, which looks very personalized and distinctive; The dashboard can also be adjusted up and down, so that the driver can't see it clearly. The design of the center console is relatively simple, with the audio control panel at the top and the air conditioning knobs vertically arranged at the bottom. Although the buttons feel a little less, BYD's interior assembly has always been more detailed, and many points can be saved. Air conditioning air outlet adopts circular air outlet design, which is fashionable and dynamic, with a little sports car style.
In addition, the black seat in racing style is fashionable and dynamic, which conforms to the principle of ergonomics and can be described as a great enjoyment of the car. There is also a fashionable vertical door handle with novel design and full personality. It is worth noting that the inner corner of the window is also designed with an outer rearview mirror, which can adjust the remote control lever. Although it is not as convenient as electric, it is not easy to consider in the car.
● Configuration: The safety configuration is unique.
In terms of active safety, F0 is equipped with the unique braking system of mid-level cars such as ABS+EBD, and the four-loop braking system tailored by Delphi, a world manufacturer, can provide further safety guarantee for F0. The large-size vacuum booster provides sufficient auxiliary braking system, which greatly shortens the braking distance. F0 front wheel adopts ventilated disc brake, which is very sensitive when operating.
Surprisingly, F0 also adopts intelligent power steering system, which is light and flexible at low speed and stable and reliable at high speed. The adoption of this technology is rare in automobiles. In terms of passive safety, the thickness of F0 steel plate is relatively kind, with the average thickness exceeding 1.6mm, and some even exceeding 3 mm ... Front and rear bumpers are also installed at the front and rear of the car, which greatly improves the safety of the car.
F0 is also equipped with oversized double airbags triggered by driver's seat and driver's seat electronics. Other safety features include child safety locks, emergency locking of front and rear seat belts, an audible and visual warning system without seat belts and a door ajar warning system. Safety equipment is very rich, and the traditional impression that cars are unsafe will be greatly improved.
Advantages:
1, stylish styling, F0 stylish appearance comes from Toyota's AYGO, which is known to all. The smiling front, streamlined body and full ass are really beautiful. QQ, SPARK and Panda are not as good as it.
2, excellent cost performance, F0 comfort guide price of 40900, in addition to being more favorable than 4K, and equipped with ABS+EBD, CD, VMP intelligent power steering, plus all-aluminum engine, the cost performance is quite high. And the fuel consumption is also very low. Although some customers report high fuel consumption, many customers report that it is only 5.5 liters per 100 kilometers, which shows that driving habits have a great influence on fuel consumption.
3. Excellent control. Manufacturers promote that F0 is equipped with four-wheel independent suspension including front and rear sub-frames, but the rear trailing arm suspension can only be considered semi-independent. However, F0's rear suspension has sufficient materials, hard adjustment and good handling. When turning, the roll is really small, and when driving at high speed, the whole vehicle is very stable and there will be no deviation. 1.0 All-aluminum engine power reaches 50KW, and the whole vehicle is 870 kg. F0 is also very eye-catching in the acceleration of 100 kilometers, and the media test time 13 seconds is quite good for mini-cars.
4. Exquisite workmanship. So many people may have different opinions. But I still have to say that the work is really good. First of all, from the perspective of the gap, compared with BYD F3, F0 is more like a joint venture product, and the gap is obviously better than F3. The interior is also very good, all-black interior, with titanium silver center console, very textured. Take the steering wheel for example, it feels much better than the F3 series. The instrument combination is also very textured, the instrument with blue light on white background is very fashionable, and the split tachometer is very individual.
These advantages make F0 shine in the mini-car market. But F0 also has disadvantages:
Disadvantages:
1, the noise inside the car is high, which is reflected by all owners of F0. As we all know, the time series chain adopted by F0 has advantages and disadvantages. Advantages are maintenance-free and cost-saving, but the biggest disadvantage is noise. In addition, F0 engine has a three-cylinder structure, and four cylinders are not stable. So noise is inevitable. F0 also has shortcomings in noise reduction. Looking at the exhaust pipe of FO from the bottom, we know that there is no silencer. The noise will be much better if a silencer is installed.
2. Practical models have no power steering. The lack of this configuration makes F0 not cost-effective. I've driven F0 without power steering, which is really heavy.
The paint on the car body is very thin, probably to save costs. The paint on F0 is uneven and thin, which affects the appearance of the car body.
4.F0's rear window can't be lifted, and F0's rear window is designed with negative pressure, just like Buick GL8 and other commercial vehicles. In fact, for a car like F0, this design has sufficient ventilation efficiency and can reduce wind resistance; But consumers in China still don't buy it and don't like this design.
Fashion concept
"A00 auto market, we have no rivals!" Xia Zhibing, general manager of BYD Auto Sales Company, is full of confidence in the future performance of F0, which comes from his own strength in F0 products. The three selling points of F0 are obviously unsurpassed in the A00 class car field: all-aluminum high-performance environment-friendly engine with excellent performance with power index of 50 kW/L; A00 class car is the only car with independent suspension system of subframe, which has excellent handling, stability and passability. A fashionable car with European design concept and popular elements fully embodies BYD F0's design concept of "style is just cool, fashion has no regrets". In addition, the car's environmental protection and energy saving are also reflected incisively and vividly on F0. The all-aluminum engine adopts Bosch fuel-saving control system in Germany, and the economic fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is only 4.2L In addition to fuel-saving performance, the safety configuration and technology of F0 even
It has reached the standard of A-class car, and the safety of the car has reached a new height with ABS+EBD, SRS double airbags, seat belt silent light reminder system, high-position brake light, VMP intelligent power steering system and other strength devices. The interior of F0 is more fashionable and lively, showing personality, and the dark anti-slip seat in racing style makes the car enjoy greatly. Split tachometer, like Mickey Mouse's ears, embodies European design fashion everywhere. In appearance, the fashionable one-piece hatchback door, peanut-style smart cool headlights, back door glass wiper, downwind antenna and so on. It is also very popular. The size of this car is also very large. The length, width and height of F0 reach 3460mm, 16 18mm and 1465mm respectively, and the wheelbase reaches 2340mm, which is the same class. In the distribution of internal space, through careful design of various details, the utilization rate of internal space has been maximized, and it is a very comprehensive car.
F0 wants to be the leading model of high-end cars. The good news in 2008 and the changes in the macroeconomic environment provided good conditions for the transformation and development of the automobile market. The market demand for quality cars, energy-saving cars and fashionable cars is in an unprecedented outbreak stage. The listing of F0 will undoubtedly promote the rapid change of the automobile market and set a benchmark for the new generation of automobile market. According to the person in charge of BYD Auto Sales Company, F0 consumers are positioned as the first car of new youth, with a monthly sales target of 8,000 cars/month and a sales target of 30,000 cars in 2008. For about 50,000 cars and their markets, the level of 8,000 cars/month is still a very pragmatic goal, but whether F0 can fully occupy the high-end market in the car field still needs a period of brand accumulation. In addition, BYD will greatly increase its production capacity to meet market demand. In 2008, the actual production capacity will reach 200,000 vehicles, and it will rapidly increase to 800,000 vehicles around 20 10. The listing and bright market prospects of new cars such as F6 and F0 will be the biggest thrust for BYD to increase its production capacity. At the same time, F0 is the first energy-saving boutique car listed after the implementation of the national consumption tax policy, which will become the first touchstone of the development direction of the automobile industry, and its market performance will also be the best test of the success of the automobile energy-saving policy.
operating characteristic
BYD's first A00-class boutique car F0 was listed nationwide on September 2nd. It is understood that there are four F0*** models listed this time, including 1.0L manual gearbox, which is practical, comfortable, luxurious and distinguished, and the price is 36,900-46,900 yuan. Externally, F0 vehicle lines are smooth, echoing each other and bringing out the best in each other. U's cool front face and smart headlights are perfectly matched, and the visual effect is overwhelming.
The braided antenna not only ensures the high-fidelity signal, but also adds a little cuteness with the lovely model. The tail of the car body is dynamic and steady, and the integral tailgate with high pressure forming and tempering treatment is fashionable in design and clear in sight. DIY design of personality before and after the car body is practical and worry-free. If the anti-friction wrap angle is designed, it is only necessary to simply change the wrap angle when slightly rubbing.
In terms of interior, F0 interior follows the most popular MINI classic interior. The interior of the car body is dominated by dark tones, plus black racing seats, which is passionate and dynamic. Split tachometer and circular instrument panel add lovely elements to the car. White LED hands and mysterious blue background clearly show that it has a unique flavor.

In addition, F0 is the only car in A00 class with independent suspension devices on the front and rear sub-frames, which is superior in handling. In terms of safety, the safety configuration of F0 is fully armed and spare no effort. In terms of passive safety, the impact force can be effectively dispersed by stamping the side wall with integral steel plate, 3H high-rigidity collision-proof body and safety cage structure. Double airbags, foldable steering column and pedal, headrest protection headrest, etc. Both improve the safety factor. In terms of active safety, F0 is equipped with ABS+EBD, which is rarely equipped in A00 class cars. The front wheel ventilated disc brake can provide sufficient braking force, and the intelligent steering system can intelligently adjust the steering assistance to ensure the stability of driving and steering.
compare
Comparing the performance of Chery QQ3 and BYD F0 in an all-round way, in the domestic car market, mini-cars are gradually favored due to oil prices, environmental protection and other factors. The lovely and practical BYD F0 model attracted consumers' attention as soon as it appeared at the auto show, which is bound to trigger another round of competition in the mini-car market. As the main force in the current mini-car market, Chery QQ3 has naturally become the main competitor of BYD F0. Below, we will make a comprehensive comparison between these two representative mini-cars, hoping to help consumers when buying cars in the future. Comparing the dimensions of the two cars, we can find that BYD F0 has obvious advantages, while Chery QQ3 is only between the height of the car body and the ground.
Gap and storage space are slightly better. F0, which is dominant in length, width and height, can ensure ample interior space, and it also shows a more flexible side in turning radius. In power, the two models are different. In addition to the highest speed, F0 model performed better, and Chery QQ3 won with better power output. However, it is worth mentioning that the kerb quality of the two cars is quite different, and the heavier and larger QQ3 has become an advantage in terms of fuel consumption. There is little difference between the two models that also pay attention to safety, and both provide high-strength body design, door-side steel beams and other configurations. In addition, airbags, seat belts and other configurations are also readily available, and the safety factors of the two cars have been greatly improved compared with the same class models. However, comparing the two, BYD F0 with obvious price advantage is more comprehensive. In order to make drivers and passengers more convenient, both cars are designed with a number of rich and convenient configurations inside and outside. In terms of vehicle appearance design, both cars have their own characteristics. On the premise of ensuring the basic vehicle configuration, the excellent QQ3 still provides more and more comprehensive configurations on the basis. Many comfortable configurations can be found in two models that focus on leisure characteristics. At the same time, the two cars basically conform to the fashionable and considerate characteristics of family cars, with few high-end configurations but strong practicality. In addition, the two cars pay attention to different comfort levels, which can make drivers and passengers feel different perfect experiences. Through the comparison of the above aspects, I believe many consumers have a general understanding of these two cars. By comparison, BYD F0 and Chery QQ3, both mini-cars, have their own characteristics, but under their respective configurations and power performance, BYD F0 leads with a slight price advantage, but the reputation of Chery QQ3 over the years is also the embodiment of strength. I believe that consumers will have a wise choice that best meets their needs in front of two cars with their own characteristics and full personality.
At present, there is no threshold for medical beauty consultants, which means you can do it as long as you want, but
