Take a look:
As the biggest highlight of BYD's new energy technology in recent years, since BYD introduced the DM-i model to the market in 2021, the enthusiasm of domestic consumers for plug-in hybrid and even hybrid products has been completely ignited. The follow-up of Great Wall and Geely in the hybrid market also shows BYD's vision for the hybrid market.
Since the initial generation of DM hybrid technology research and development in 2008, after 3 generations of iteration, DM-i technology has been able to take high efficiency and energy saving as the core, and take into account BYD's advantages in hybrid products lower than the cost of competitors.
Whether compared with the "two fields" hybrid system that has been launched on the market, or the independent brands such as the Great Wall and Geely that started late, BYD not only has a higher compression ratio and thermal efficiency, but also a mature technical base, which also makes BYD DM-i models have a lower guidance price.
In the six months since the first DM-i model, qin plus Dm-i, has been providing new DM-i products for many models in the family, but the market environment of short supply proves consumers' recognition and demand for DM-i models.
According to november sales, the hybrid products of the BYD Song family account for nearly 50% of the total series. After the listing of Song Pro DM-i, it will form a further complement in price and positioning with Song PLUS DM-i, thus filling the gap in the domestic compact SUV plug-in hybrid market.
According to BYD's official statement, on the day of the opening of the pre-sale, the order of Song Pro DM-i has exceeded 18,000 units, after the official listing, BYD can achieve production capacity adjustment as soon as possible to meet the consumers' enthusiasm for DM-i, which will become a new challenge for BYD after the new product is listed.
