BYD's DM-i series is a hit once launched, most of BYD's DM-i series can not mention the car, although not like the same need to increase the price, but most of them need to wait for the car for several months. This proves the correctness and success of the DM-i series. Recently, BYD Song Pro DM-i was officially listed, which is lower than song PLUS DM-i, which means that the price is relatively close to the people. The new car has launched a total of 5 configuration versions, the guidance price is 13.48-15.98 million yuan, in order to help everyone choose, we will analyze together to see which model has the highest cost performance.
Song Pro DM-i is undoubtedly half a level lower than Song PLUS DM-i, and the body size is slightly smaller, but it is still the level of a compact SUV, with a length of 4650mm and a wheelbase of 2712mm, in terms of external styling, it is not lost to other models of the same level. The central mesh is connected by a thick silver trim strip and the traditional lower bracket to form a hexagonal grille. The headlight shape is very ordinary, the interior is an LED light source, and the whole series is equipped with automatic opening and closing and LED daily running lights as standard.
The side waistline extends from the front wheel arch to the rear of the car, which is not a straight line, and has a special shape at the front and rear wheel arches. The heterochromatic treatment of the D-pillar makes the upper part of the body no longer dull. The taillights are BYD's family design, and the shape of the lower part is more complicated, such as the shape of the heat dissipation hole on both sides, and the bottom guard plate also has silver decorative strips. Because it is a new energy model, the hidden design of the exhaust pipe is understandable.
There are no surprises in the space inside the car, which is BYD's consistent style. For example, the center console, a large screen that can be rotated, occupies most of the area of the center console. If it is not the top model, the size of this screen is not so large, and we will talk about it in detail in the configuration. The center console is made of black glossy material, and the air conditioner outlets on both sides are very interesting and vertical. The flat-bottom steering wheel comes with multi-function buttons, which are standard throughout the series.
The application of the electronic barrier is not surprising, and in front of it is the wireless charging pad of the mobile phone. There are also many function buttons in this area, such as double flashing lights, lane keeping assist, one-button start button, volume adjustment and so on. BYD should be one of the few brands in China that uses Chinese on the buttons, which is commendable.
Song Pro DM-i's seats are quite exquisite, the front row is an integrated sports seat, the color scheme is very unique, and the high-end car has the function of heating and ventilation. The rear seats support the adjustment of the backrest angle, because of the body size, it is certainly not as spacious as the Song PLUS DM-i, but it is not a problem to cope with the general family's ride. The second row of floors is almost flat, with two USB ports and air conditioning outlets as standard.
There are two kinds of power parts, the main difference is in the electric motor and battery capacity. The 51km version of the motor has a maximum power of 132kW and a battery capacity of 8.3kWh; the 110km version has a maximum power of 145kW and a battery capacity of 18.3kWh. The engine part is the same as the whole series, it is a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine with a maximum horsepower of 110kW. The official acceleration time of 0-100km/h is 8.5 seconds and 7.9 seconds respectively, which shows that the role of the motor in this system is greater.
2022 DM-i 51km Luxury
Guidance price: 134,800 yuan
The basic configuration of Song Pro DM-i is really very basic, four airbags, rear radar, reversing image, fixed speed cruise, one-button start, LED headlights, automatic air conditioning These configurations are reasonable in this level of model. Battery preheating, voice recognition, and keyless entry can increase the convenience of using the car. In general, this version is enough, if the budget is limited, choosing a version is not a big problem.
2022 DM-i 51km Premium
Guidance price: 141,800 yuan
Coming to the premium type, the price increased by 7,000 yuan, but the configuration increased by more than a dozen items, such as the number of airbags increased to 6, the active safety configuration increased, and the safety configuration has reached the mainstream level. The combination of panoramic imagery and transparent chassis, as advertised by other brands, is the same as the 540° chassis, allowing you to see most of the place except the roof, making it easier to navigate through complex sections. The electric tailgate, larger central control screen, panoramic sunroof, and adaptive near and far light add to the comfort of the car. From the configuration point of view, these seven thousand pieces are particularly worth the cost.
2022 DM-i 51km Prestige
Guidance price: 148,800 yuan
The same is the increase of 7,000 yuan, the increase in the configuration of the honor type is not particularly much, such as seat heating, ventilation, blind spot monitoring, and wireless charging of mobile phones. Although these configurations are worthwhile and can also enhance the car experience, the cost performance is not so obvious. There are options that are needed.
2022 DM-i 110km flagship
Guidance price: 151,800 yuan
A careful look at the small partner must have found that the flagship configuration is exactly the same as the premium type, and the difference is also there, that is, the power system. The power becomes stronger and the cruising range becomes longer, reaching 110km, assuming 20km back and forth, it is 100km five days a week. Charging once a week, only need to consume a small amount of fuel, can reduce the burden of using the car.
2022 DM-i 110km flagship Pro
Guidance price: 159,800 yuan
The configuration of the top model and the honorable model is not much different, there is more than a large central control screen and atmosphere lights, and the other is the difference in the power system, which can refer to the previous paragraph. Top models are generally not recommended, because it is indeed too expensive, landing more than 170,000 yuan, some out of this level of users. You can even buy the Song PLUS DM-i 110KM flagship, so unless you really like it, we don't recommend it much.
The sub-low-end model basically covers the daily required configuration, can do comfortable, convenient use of the car, the price is only 7,000 yuan more than the low-end car, the cost performance is very high. And if you want to get a better pure electric mileage, you can choose the flagship type, the configuration is consistent, expensive ten thousand yuan, depending on everyone's needs to choose.
