In March this year, BYD launched the Song PLUS DM-i super hybrid SUV model. This flagship product features a fuel-saving hybrid system and is priced at 146,800-169,800 yuan. The good vehicle strength and low pricing have attracted great attention from the consumer market.

So, how does the Song PLUS DM-i drive?

The author had an in-depth experience through the Song PLUS DM-i Pilot Jinqing Tour Tianjin Station.

The "Dragon Soul" aesthetic design never disappoints

Since the birth of the BYD Dynasty car series, the strong Chinese design style and this bold naming idea have been deeply loved by people. sought after. The core concept of the Dynasty car series is the integration of the "dragon face" design concept.

The new BYD Song PLUS DM-i continues the dragon-faced design of DRAGONFACE and achieves further evolution on the basis of inheriting the classic aesthetic genes.

Song PLUS DM-i uses the same large-mouth air intake grille as Song PLUS, with a silver metal decorative plate above it. The sharp headlights on both sides are connected to the grille through through-type chrome decorative strips, and there is also BYD's new LOGO position design, which is full of creativity.

In terms of body size, the length, width and height are 4705×1890×1680mm, and the wheelbase is 2765mm, which is consistent with the fuel version and is both a compact SUV.

On the whole, it has more Dongfeng charm, the lines of the vehicle are cleaner, and the overall shape is more contemporary aesthetic.

The interior is more textured, and you can enjoy high-end equipment right after entry

In the car, the overall visual effect of Song PLUS DM-i is "softer"; a large number of pianos are used in the central control area Made of baking paint material, the sense of luxury and quality is very outstanding.

From the perspective of new car configurations, BYD Song PLUS DM-i is full of sincerity in configuration, and truly achieves what is meant by "entry-level high-end configurations." The new car is equipped with a 12.8-inch 8-core adaptive rotating suspension Pad, 9 high-fidelity speakers, mobile NFC car keys, Dirac smart music cockpit, OTA remote upgrade tire pressure display, 360° high-definition holographic transparent images and other functions, which can be said to be mainstream. The configuration is all arranged.

In addition, all Song PLUS DM-i series are equipped with double-layer soundproof and heat-insulating glass for the front row and front windshield, and high-end models have added ventilation/heating configurations for the main and passenger seats. Moreover, all models are equipped with the same DiLink3.0 system as BYD Han.

It is worth mentioning that the car also has a karaoke function, which can fully meet your small needs if you travel long distances and need an active atmosphere.

However, the author is deeply impressed by the exclusive interior color scheme of Eclipse Blue + Sky Gray, which also visually highlights the identity of a new energy vehicle.

Blade battery support, performance comparable to joint ventures

As the first SUV model equipped with BYD’s super hybrid system, its features far exceed many consumers’ expectations for cars. This is why the author One of the most anticipated aspects of the test drive.

The test drive I got this time was the Song PLUS DM-i Premium Edition model with a 51km range (blade battery). At 9:30 in the morning, the convoy set off from the Banyan Tree Haihe Hotel in Tianjin, passed through the Fifth Avenue, the Fifth Courtyard, the National Ocean Museum and then to the World Trade Hilton Hotel in Tianjin Eco-City. Along the way, it passed the urban area, expressways and highways, without any hassle It would be an exaggeration to say that Song PLUS DM-i’s overall performance was quite excellent.

Of course, the excellence of Song PLUS DM-i comes from its texture, and this texture comes from super hybrid, chassis tuning and NVH performance.

Song PLUS DM-i is different from previous DM models that focused on performance. The main advantage of DM-i is fuel economy. It is equipped with a SnapCloud plug-in hybrid dedicated 1.5L high-efficiency engine + EHS electric hybrid system combination. The engine has a maximum torque of 135N·m, the motor has a maximum torque of 325N·m, and the combined maximum power is 173Kw.

This car has three driving modes: ECO (fuel saving), NORMAL (standard), and SPORT (sports). You only need to switch through the lever button next to the gear lever. , different driving modes will be displayed directly on the instrument panel, which is very clear and practical.

In actual driving, both ECO and NORMAL modes are available. Because of Eco mode, the vehicle's power recovery will be adjusted to the maximum level. Its benefits are that it can release the throttle when you need to slow down, and drag-and-drop power recovery can effectively reduce vehicle speed and reduce wear on the braking system; while normal mode has good driving adjustability and moderate front-end acceleration performance, but You can feel the sense of acceleration in the rear section, which can fully meet the needs of daily driving.

When entering the SPORT mode, the "performance" of the vehicle is completely awakened. When you step on the accelerator pedal, the engine and electric motor exert force at the same time, and the car's heart-beating control feeling arises spontaneously.

Although we are driving a model with a pure electric range of 51km this time, according to the actual test results, its comprehensive range can still reach more than 1,100km, which is highly praised.

The road conditions this time were relatively flat, but when the Song PLUS DM-i passed through speed bumps and bumpy roads, its suspension toughness and vibration filtering effect were impressive. The ride comfort is effectively guaranteed, and the vehicle's NVH performance is comparable to that of pure electric models, which has been unanimously praised by peers.

Written at the end:

Taken together, the BYD Song PLUS DM-i version is a product with very distinctive features, equipped with its latest hybrid system, and the entire vehicle The tuning is very high-quality; in addition, the starting price is less than 150,000, and the characteristics of good looks, large space and low fuel consumption form unique advantages, and it has the strength to compete with joint venture models.

It can be said that BYD Song PLUS DM-i is more "easy to drive" than I imagined!
