At the same time, in order to incentivize the first batch of users to buy, it has also launched four-fold rights and interests, including finance, replacement subsidies, etc., especially the lifelong warranty of Sandian is still very sincere. We have introduced in the previous real-time shooting article, Song Pro DM-i mainly focuses on the compact SUV market below 150,000 yuan, and will target haval H6, Changan CS75PLUS and other independent hot-selling models, because BYD's super hybrid DM-i products can not only enjoy the benefits of new energy, but also refuel, completely solve the problem of mileage anxiety, while achieving very low fuel consumption, so it can attract many potential users of fuel vehicles, which is what the manufacturer proposed" Fuel SUV Disruptor" slogan purpose. Today we review its product features again, focusing on the price configuration differences of each model.
The Song Pro DM-i is bydilicon's fourth model equipped with DM-i super hybrid technology, and the core components include a high-thermal efficiency engine for Snap cloud hybrid, an EHS hybrid system, dual motors, and a power blade battery. The motor-based drive method ensures that the engine always works in the efficient range, thus ensuring that the overall energy consumption is very low, which has been verified and accumulated a good reputation in the previous three DM-i models.

The rear of the car is also very fashionable, the "Dragon's Claw" through taillights are fused with through chrome strips, and the crisscrossing light strips can quickly identify who it is at night. The bumper part is very complexly decorated, with air outlet shapes on both sides, silver skid plates and protective panels protruding from the body in the center, and mid-fog lights, all of which have corresponding elements to the front of the car, and the sense of echo is excellent, and the hidden exhaust pipe is located at the bottom.

The leather surface is soft and comfortable, the padding is soft and hard, the cushion is sufficiently supportive, there is a certain lateral support and shoulder support, and the headrest has a certain convexity, which can provide better neck support, and the ergonomics are more mature. In terms of function, the main driver's seat supports front and rear, backrest, height (4-way) electric adjustment, and the co-pilot has less high-low (4-way) electric adjustment. Both the 51km and 110km top-of-the-line models are equipped with front seat ventilation and heating.

The cushion filling should be tougher, the length is sufficient, it can provide good leg support, the backrest and headrest have a small amount of lateral support, and the backrest support angle adjustment can adapt to different sitting postures. In terms of space, Kandi is 175cm tall, two and a half fists in leg space, and two punches in the overhead space, compared to the PLUS version, the overhead space is better, the leg space is slightly less, for tall people, it is obviously more friendly here. The floor is completely flat and does not hinder the movement of the feet. In terms of configuration, it provides floor air conditioner air outlets, two USB, and folding armrests with cup holders.
The wheel arches on both sides of the tail compartment are more convex and relatively high, which may be related to the use of multi-link rear suspension. Fortunately, the depth is not bad, the lateral distance of the rear end is large enough, the height is very abundant, so the overall load space is still large enough, the volume has not been announced, you can refer to the fuel version 520-1340L. The rear seats are reclining in a 4:6 ratio and the cushions are in a sunken layout, so the backrest can be completely flattened and very practical. There is also a storage compartment under the floor, and there is no spare tire.
In terms of power, it is completely consistent with the PLUS version, equipped with a hybrid system with EHS system as the core of the BYD DM-i platform, the 51km version uses the EHS132 system, the maximum power of the motor is 132kW, the maximum torque is 316 Nm; the 110 km version uses EHS145, the maximum power of the motor is 145kW, the maximum torque is 325 Nm, and the 0-100km/h acceleration is 7.9 seconds. With both are hybrid dedicated 1.5L high-efficiency engine, the maximum power of 81kW (110Ps)/6000rpm, the maximum torque of 135Nm/4500rpm, the engine parameters are small, mainly driving the generator to generate electricity, in a few cruise times to achieve direct drive, but all the working states are in the most efficient range, so energy consumption can be greatly reduced, the 51km version of the power loss fuel consumption of 4.4L/100km, 110km version of the power loss fuel consumption of 4.5L/100km, Exactly the same as the PLUS version. In terms of endurance, 51km and 110km models use lithium iron phosphate batteries (blade batteries) with energy of 8.3kWh and 18.3kWh respectively, and pure electric endurance corresponds to 51km and 110km respectively, but this intelligent management system does not exhaust the battery power, generally when the power is less than 15%, it will enter the range extended mode, even if it is not charged for a long time.
The chassis adopts a suspension combination of front McPherson freestanding + rear multi-link independent, both of which are front-facing front-drive layouts.
In terms of models, Song Pro DM-i is divided into 3 51km version and 2 110km version, the motor and battery energy of the two are not the same, for users who are convenient for charging, we certainly recommend choosing the latter, often charging closer to the use experience of pure electric vehicles, the cost is also lower. If charging is not very convenient, it is more appropriate to choose the former. We compare the price and configuration differences of different models.

Kandi Comments:
The largest market for sales of self-owned brand SUVs is actually 100,000-150,000-class compact SUVs, where Haval H6 and other models have been achieved. After using the Song PLUS DM-i to open up the 150,000-200,000-level SUV market, BYD intends to use the Song Pro DM-i to launch a frontal attack on Haval H6 and other models, after all, it not only has the advantage of license plates, but also achieves low fuel consumption and brings practical benefits to users. We expect that Song Pro DM-i is likely to rewrite the current market structure and promote new energy vehicles to replace fuel vehicles faster.
