From the appearance point of view, the 2022 BYD Song Pro DM-i has upgraded in the appearance details, for example, the proportion of the large-mouth medium grid grid has increased from 60% of the current model to 75%. The new car adopts the Dragon Face3.0 design language, and the front face grille adopts a multi-horizontal and straight chrome strip design, which has a strong visual impact with the sharply shaped headlight group on both sides, and looks more "solemn" compared to the PLUS model. There is no significant change in the side of the body, maintaining the overall style of the old model. The rear part of the car adopts the current popular through-type taillights, and the two ends of the tail light group still use the dragon claw element, which echoes the front of the car. In terms of size, the length, width and height of the new car are 4650/1860/1700mm, and the wheelbase is 2712mm, which is slightly smaller than the Song PLUS DM-i.

In terms of competitors, in terms of comprehensive positioning, price and audience, the competitor of Song Pro DM-i may be the Macchiato 1.5L DHT. In terms of positioning and power performance, WEY Macchiato DHT-PHEV only provides 110km endurance models, compared to WEY Macchiato DHT-PHEV models, Song Pro DM-i has a slight advantage.
However, after the new car was listed, many netizens also called out directly: expensive.
In the domestic new energy vehicle market, BYD occupies a certain market position, according to the latest data of the Association of Passenger Transport, in November this year, BYD's single-month sales of 97,242 vehicles, an increase of 84.1% year-on-year, of which BYD sold a total of 90,121 new energy vehicles, up 252.7% year-on-year, of which DM model sales of 43,984 units, a year-on-year surge of 499.8%; EV model sales of 46,137 units, an increase of 153.2%. Among them, the sales increase of DM models is mainly due to the blessing of several explosive products such as PLUS DM-i and Song PLUS DM-i.
As the sales of THE BYD SUV family, although it occupies a large share of market sales, but before the BYD Song Pro only had pure fuel and EV two models on sale, the emergence of DM-i models may be able to fill the gap between the fuel version and the pure electric version of the market, in addition to making the BYD DM-i model matrix more perfect.
According to official data, the cumulative order volume on the first day of the by-sales of BYD Song Pro DM-i was 18,116 units, and as for the market performance of this model after the listing, we still wait and see.
