Hello Hello everyone! I am Chen Jie
When it comes to electric vehicles of Chinese brands, many people will first think of BYD. BYD not only entered the game early, but also has endless black technologies. , from the blade battery to the DM-i hybrid system it recently promoted, is indeed amazing.
But maybe the halo of electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles is too bright , the presence of BYD gasoline vehicles is relatively low. And for most consumers, gasoline cars are still the first choice when buying a car . So let's talk today, is BYD's gasoline car worth buying?
is responsible for sales: Song
The main model Song PLUS
Song is BYD's sales in gasoline vehicles, but the Song here is actually not a car, but a family : Song PLUS, Song Pro and Song. The sales volume of the whole family in April was probably more than
Many people can't tell the difference between Song PLUS and Song Pro. In fact, Song PLUS is the eldest brother in the Song family, not only size, wheelbase is slightly larger than Song Pro, more importantly, is equipped with the whole system BYD's newly developed 1.5T Xiaoyun engine.
For a long time, everyone thought that BYD should focus all its energy on new energy vehicles. It was not until this Xiaoyun 1.5T came out that everyone saw BYD's determination to continue to develop gasoline vehicles.
The maximum horsepower of this 1.5T engine is as high as
In addition, the thermal efficiency of this engine has also reached
In addition, this engine also pays more attention to low-torque performance. Compared with the old 1.5T, the low-speed torque performance has been improved by 36.7%, and it is lighter in daily driving. On the
gearbox, Song PLUS matches the latest 7-speed wet dual-clutch of BYD. Compared with the 6DCT widely used by BYD before, this 7DCT of has a very obvious improvement in response speed and smoothness. If the previous performance of 6DCT is a shortcoming of BYD, then the performance of this 7DCT is no less than the level of 7DCT on any domestic car.
It can be seen from the power configuration that BYD has given the best to Song PLUS. As for appearance, space, configuration, etc., Song PLUS is no worse than any model of the same level.
Song PLUS interior
Especially in size and wheelbase, Song PLUS has a slight advantage over H6, CS75 PLUS, etc., and has more obvious advantages than Boyue .
The price of Shangsong PLUS is about 110,000-120,000, which is not much different from the main competitors of the same level.
In general, Song PLUS is not inferior to H6, CS75 PLUS and other models in terms of product power and cost performance. The sales volume is not as good as them, mainly because the mass base of these two cars is too good. Only in terms of strength, Song PLUS must be worth considering.
The more cost-effective Song Pro
The power of the Song Pro is more complicated. It can be regarded as the new and old with the . The 2021 model has the old 160-hp 1.5T+7-speed wet dual-clutch combination.There is also a 185-horsepower 1.5T+7-speed wet dual-clutch combination that is exactly the same as the Song PLUS. At the same time, the 2019 model, the old 1.5T+6DCT model, is still on sale.
has said so much, in simple terms, the new 1.5T+7DCT model of is the most recommended , which can basically be regarded as the Song PLUS with a slightly smaller size. Moreover, although the wheelbase is 53mm shorter than the Song PLUS, it is not worse than the Haval H6, Changan CS75 PLUS, etc., and there is no problem in satisfying household use. In terms of the price of
, the starting price of the Song Pro equipped with the same power of the Song PLUS is 107,800 yuan, which is 8,000 yuan lower than the starting price of the Song PLUS. but the configuration has not been reduced, which is basically equivalent. and Song Pro entry version also has a remote control driving.
Therefore, although the Song Pro power options are more abundant, in fact, only recommends the combination of the new 1.5T engine + 7DCT. In the case that the space is not much different, Song Pro is actually a more cost-effective choice than Song PLUS.

Song
Song
The Song here refers to the classic version of Song. This model is actually an old model of , which is replaced with a new shell to continue to exert its residual heat. There are 4 models in the whole series, all of which are equipped with the old 1.5T power, with a maximum of 160 horses. Two manual transmission models, two matching 6-speed wet dual-clutch. The biggest selling point of
Song Classic Edition is its low price, starting at only 69,800. In fact, the competition of this car is no longer a 100,000-class model such as Haval H6. Its direct competitors should be Haval M6, Geely Vision X6 and other models. The main selling price of these models is around 60,000-70,000.
For these cars, power is not very important, but has two most important points: low price and reliability. and these models do both well. The spatial performance is similar.
However, there are some differences between these cars. The Vision X6 has the worst power, with only 141 horsepower, the Song Classic version has the strongest horsepower , with 160 horsepower, and the Haval M6 has 150 horsepower. But Vision X6 is matched with CVT gearbox, Song Classic Edition and M6 both use dual clutch.
To be honest, these three cars have been tested by the market, and they are all reliable. But if I had to choose, I would choose the Vision X6, because I care more about the performance of the gearbox than the power. The CVT is at least relatively smooth, and the adjustment of the dual-clutch for the 60,000-70,000 models still can't give me complete peace of mind.

Song MAX
Song, which is in urgent need of replacement, is currently the only model that combines PLUS, Pro and MAX, but Song MAX is already an MPV. This car has also been very brilliant, once sold over 10,000 . However, the latest sales in April are only about a thousand units.
The rise and fall of sales of this car is very consistent with changes in product competitiveness. At the beginning of the listing of , the compact MPV market was still a blue ocean, mainly dominated by Wuling Hongguang and Baojun 730. BYD, Wuling and Baojun still have certain advantages over brands.
And the combination of 1.5T+6-speed wet dual-clutch of this car is also much better than the AMT experience of Baojun 730 at that time. So it was reasonable to sell it at that time.
Song MAX interior
The bleakness of Song MAX today is also because the car is really not competitive nowadays. Now this car is still equipped with 1.5T+6DCT, and is not BYD's latest Snapdragon 1.5T. And the GM6 of Trumpchi and Wuling Capgemini in the same class are the choices with stronger comprehensive strength. Therefore, the bleakness of Song MAX today is not surprising.
The Tang
BYD Tang's DM-i model, which failed to break through, has just been launched recently. Compared with the fiery Tang DM-i, the Tang gasoline version looks like nothing. In April, the Tang gasoline version sold only more than 100 vehicles. If you only look at it from the perspective of whether it is worth buying, the answer is already obvious.
But unlike Song MAX, the failure of does not mean that this car is not good. This car currently has only one configuration, using a combination of 2.0T+6AT, with a maximum horsepower of 192 horses. The power is enough. The 6AT comes from Hyundai Powertai. The reputation of is not as loud as the Aisin 6AT, but it is also very mature.
In terms of space, Tang is a medium-sized SUV with a length of 4870mm. The size of and Highlander are very close to , and it is a 7-seater model.
Therefore, in terms of power, space, reliability and appearance, the Tang gasoline version cannot be faulted. The reason why cannot be sold is mainly because the price has been sold to the range of mainstream joint venture compact SUVs.
BYD Tang interior
Tang gasoline version is priced at 165,800, and currently there are about 8,000 discounts in Beijing. But even after the discount, you can already buy many joint venture SUVs at this price. Volkswagen's Tanyue, Tuyue, Nissan X-Trail, and even Honda CR-V are not much more expensive.Although the Don is bigger than them, these cars have plenty of room for home use.
In front of the icing on the cake, it is obvious that the car logo of the joint venture brand is more attractive to everyone.
Therefore, Tang is indeed not selling well. If it were me, I might have added a little money to buy CR-V. But this does not mean that Tang's car is not good, is just a process of accumulation of brand power.
BYD Qin itself is not bad, but its opponents are too strong.
Qin PLUS
Qin's product line is also very complicated. Let's first introduce, Qin PLUS is the eldest brother of the Qin family, but Qin PLUS only has EV and DM-i models , not in . The scope of our discussion today.
Qin Pro
Qin Pro is equipped with a combination of 1.5T+6DCT. This set of power is very mature, and there is no problem. However, I can't completely rest assured about the adjustment of the dual-clutch gearbox of tens of thousands of models.
This does not mean that there must be a problem with the dual-clutch of these low-cost models, but if there are more reliable options in the same class, still recommends that you give priority to AT or CVT.
Among the models of the same level as the Qin Pro, I may give more priority to the 1.6L Changan Eado Plus or the 1.4T Geely Binrui. Of course, Qin Pro also has its own advantages, that is, the
BYD Qin
Qin without Pro is only equipped with 1.5L self-priming power, matching manual transmission or CVT.Just look at the car itself, there is no problem with the product, is a very mature match, and the cost performance is also very high.
However, is not because Qin himself is not good enough, but because his opponent is too hard. The entry price of Qin automatic transmission is about 68,000 yuan in Beijing, and the automatic entry model of the Eado PLUS mentioned above is about 76,000 yuan. Although it is about 8000 more expensive, it has higher appearance and stronger power. If were me, I would still choose Yidong PLUS.
Even the Volkswagen Santana, Chevrolet Cruze and other models in the joint venture brand, the entry price of automatic transmission is similar to that of Qin Xiang. Therefore, although the cost performance of Qin is high, but the opponents are too hard, so the advantage is not outstanding.
The extremely low-priced F3
Many people must not know that this car, which once made great contributions to BYD and was once the king of independent car sales, is still being sold today. Moreover, the sales volume of is not bad, and there are still more than 5,000 sales in April.
F3 still retains the original design. Although the details of have been upgraded, it is still an F3 at a glance. Back then, F3 was popular all over the country because of its cost-effectiveness, and today's F3 is even more cost-effective.
The current F3 guide price is only 44900-50800, the whole series is equipped with a 1.5L engine, and the whole series is matched with a 5-speed manual transmission. The entry-level model can have a discount of about 5,000 on the basis of 44,900, and the actual price of is only about 40,000.
For F3, it doesn't make much sense to talk about performance and power. The biggest value of this car is that will give you a fairly reliable new sedan at a price of more than 40,000 yuan. As for other things, configuration, design, etc. If has it, it is a favor, and if it does not, it is a duty.
Is this car worth it? In fact, it's hard to say, is certainly worth it for people with only so much budget, otherwise would not have more than 5,000 sales per month. For friends whose budget can be increased, there is no need to consider such a model at all.
Written at the end
BYD's progress and leadership in the electric and hybrid fields can be seen by everyone, and we all agree that new energy is the future trend. However, there is still a long time gap between the trend and reality. In this time gap between , gasoline vehicles are still the mainstream choice for everyone, and it is also a market that traditional car companies will never give up.
Through today's article, we can also see that BYD has strength in the field of gasoline vehicles, and some models of Song PLUS and Song Pro are excellent in product power and cost performance. However, there are indeed many competitive models in BYD's fuel vehicles.
I hope that BYD can take into account gasoline vehicles while developing new energy vehicles. After all, for car companies, the source of profit from gasoline vehicles is an important condition to support the research and development of electric vehicles. For everyone, gasoline cars are still the mainstream choice.
