In the past, it took several months to pick up the car after ordering it, and most of them only happened in joint ventures and luxury brands. However, with the rise of domestic products, there is also a shortage of supply and demand for independent brands. The domestic SUV we tested today - BYD Song PLUS DM-i, which is the representative of it.

Since the delivery of the new car, the market popularity and actual sales of Song PLUS DM-i have always been very high. Even if you go to a 4S store to order a car, you may have to wait a few months. So why can it be sold out? As a "second brush" blogger, let me tell you the reason today.

 

Appearance is in line with aesthetics

"Appearance is justice" is not only used on people, but also on cars. Song PLUS DM-i adopts an exclusive "Eight-faced Dragon Roar" design language. For example: the large-size, dot matrix grille, paired with LED longan headlights, makes the front face look very comfortable, and this wide-body front face design is quite elegant.

 

On the side, the straight double waistline makes this car look more powerful. At the same time, this waistline that runs from the front of the car to the rear of the car, combined with the sloping back body design, makes this car look full of sportiness. (The length, width and height of Song PLUS DM-i are 4705/1890/1680mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2765mm)

The rear part of the car, the through-type taillight is a highlight. At the same time, the embellishment of chrome-plated trim and letter logos adds its fashion sense. Overall, it is original, has high appearance and is elegant, which is exactly what domestic consumers like, you know. Personally, I think its appearance design is very competitive even if compared with CR-V and Tanyue .

 

interior is worth the money

In the last test drive, I said that the more successful thing about the Song PLUS series is that its interior is worth the money. Because compared with the interiors of many joint venture SUVs of more than 200,000 yuan, the interior of the Song PLUS DM-i is really conscientious.

First of all, the 12.3-inch instrument + 12.8-inch rotating floating large screen can give you the sense of technology you want; the blue + gray-white interior color scheme is more advanced and more eye-catching; the large area of ​​soft materials and meticulous workmanship are really good. There is also the three-spoke steering wheel with an integrated seat, which is very solid to hold and the seat is comfortable to sit.

. In terms of configuration, many configurations that need to be optional on joint venture car are standard on the Song PLUS DM-i, such as electric seat adjustment, 360 panoramic image, electric tailgate , etc. To be honest, SUVs worth more than 100,000 yuan have these configurations, and the cost-effectiveness is indeed very high. It is comfortable to sit up and has a high configuration and face. This is the best thing for domestic consumers.

space large usage scenarios

space is also a part that everyone is more concerned about. Let’s go and experience it now. Because of the blessing of "PLUS", Song PLUS DM-i stands out among compact SUVs in terms of three-dimensional size.

At the same time, the 2765mm wheelbase gives Song PLUS DM-i a good rear space performance. According to Teacher Qin's space challenge, the rear space is indeed relatively abundant. If you want to get some details, this platform has not compromised because of the addition of the circuit system, and it is still completely flat, like it. The blessing of

DM-i is low in fuel consumption and easy to drive

Song PLUS DM-i is still very important for BYD's latest three-electric technology. For example, this "Xiaoyun" 1.5L engine developed specifically for the DM-i platform has a low horsepower of only 110 horsepower, but it has a high compression ratio of 15.5:1 and a high thermal efficiency of 43.04%. The effect is that the fuel consumption in a power loss state is only 4.4L/100km.

At the same time, Song PLUS DM-i also uses two capacity plug-in hybrid models, 8.3KWh (51km) and 18.3KWh (110km) dedicated blade battery . In addition to its high safety, it also has pulse self-heating technology, which has higher heating efficiency.

For the motor part, Song PLUS DM-i uses a flat wire design ultra-high speed motor, which can minimize the volume and weight of the motor and improve torque density. These are technologies that people could not imagine and implement ten years ago. Now BYD has done its own research and integrates them into this Song PLUS DM-i model. So when it opens, it is really not the BYD it used to be.

Thanks to the improvement of hardware, DM-i models can achieve "electric-based drive", including this Song PLUS DM-i, "electric-based drive-based" simply means - use more electricity, use less oil, and use high efficiency oil.

This powertrain is mainly driven by a motor. The engine often acts as a "power bank". It will only be "forced to work" when it urgently needs power or when the battery is out of power.

That is to say, try to keep the engine, generator, and drive motor working in an efficient zone, and do not use oil if it can be used. Therefore, the fuel consumption of Song PLUS DM-i is indeed very low, and our actual test results are far lower than the official 4.4L/100km. Moreover, during the Spring Festival, we actually tested that it was fine to run 1,000 kilometers when the battery was full of oil.

In addition, in terms of driving experience, Song PLUS DM-i's logic "mainly motor drive" also gives it a good ride experience. Because compared with the engine response time and the axes brought by traditional gearboxes, the response speed of Song PLUS DM-i motor is more exciting and the smooth feeling of no gearbox. So it opens smoother and faster.

In fact, Song PLUS DM-i has solved two major pain points in past PHEV models: loss of electricity and fuel consumption + driving experience, so it is difficult to sell it poorly.

chassis suspension, Song PLUS DM-i uses front McPherson and rear multi-link independent suspension, and the overall adjustment is relatively tough. It can easily resolve the bounces such as speed bumps and fine vibrations. At the same time, the addition of the battery makes the body's center of gravity lower, so the support is still good when cornering at high speed.

In addition, as a new energy vehicle, Song PLUS DM-i has many convenient functions in different car use scenarios. For example, in self-driving tours or BBQ scenarios, the vehicle can output 220V voltage to the outside, which is a very practical function, and there is no need to use the informal conversion heads in the previous car.

In addition, high-end models also support fast charging. It uses a conversion head to charge the slow charging port, which is very convenient to use. This technology is very important because in cities or tourist attractions, the most common one is public fast charging piles, while public slow charging piles are actually very few, so it was difficult for many PHEV models to charge outdoors before, but Song PLUS DM-i is different, it works! So, it solves another pain point in PHEV.

Summary:

In fact, not only Song PLUS DM-i, but also BYD's DM-i models are popular because of their appearance, no price loss in the interior, rich configuration, fuel-efficient and easy to drive, and can also be used as a green brand. This shows that consumers are not fools, and whose money is blown by the strong wind? As long as your product is powerful and the price is reasonable, it is only a matter of time before it can be sold out.
