Not long ago, BYD's 2022 Song Pro DM-i was officially listed, priced at 13.48-159,800 yuan. To be honest, the price was within my expectations, there were not too many surprises, not a disappointment. Because the price of a car can not be taken out separately, but must be combined with the product strength of this car. Obviously, in the 150,000-level home SUV market, Song Pro DM-i has this strength.
Why? An in-depth contact with Song Pro DM-i will reveal the answer for you.
The Song Pro DM-i design is new and the interior has highlights
First of all, in terms of appearance, Song Pro DM-i still continues the shape of the fuel version of Song Pro, and the design language of Dragon Face 3.0 is still arranged, with a good visual impact. It should be noted that it differs from the fuel version of the Song Pro in that the proportion of the front face grille has increased from 60% to 75%, making the front of the car appear more tense.
In addition, the lateral chrome trim in the Song Pro DM-i intake grille has also changed, of which the fuel version of Song Pro is a single-layer design, while the Song Pro DM-i is a double-layer design, the key is that the middle of the chrome trim has also added this black trim, which has a better echo with the surrounding trim, more coordinated and more sporty.
Regarding the body side of the Song Pro DM-i, it is also the same as the fuel version of the Song Pro model, the jumping waist line highlights BYD's sheet metal stamping skills, and the decorative plate similar to the dragon scale above the D pillar is also retained, making the entire body more agile. In addition, it was fitted with 19-inch multi-width wheels, but the tires were still Giti brand tires.
While this compact SUV is already imposing with 19-inch wheels, it's even more perfect to swap Giti's tires for more advanced ones. There's not much to talk about about the tail of the Song Pro DM-i, and the "DM-i" logo in the lower left corner is a symbol of its identity.
Compared with the exterior of the Song Pro DM-i, its interior is also quite bright. As a brand new model, Song Pro DM-i adopts the exclusive color of Kirin Brown + Sky Gray, anyway, I sat in the Car of Song Pro DM-i, I think its interior styling and color matching can be said to be "absolute". In addition, the materials used in the car are also good, from top to bottom, the soft material wrapping, the piano paint panel, the wood grain-like trim panels and the silver chrome strips, which create a good sense of luxury and grade in the car.
Song Pro DM-i's car configuration has a little to mention, it does not use the fuel version of the Song Pro on the small LCD dashboard, but replaced with an 8.8-inch racing-grade LCD dashboard, whether it is the visual grade or display effect is a small LCD dashboard can not be compared. Other aspects, such as the DiLink 4.0 car engine system, make the display of the picture more simple, smoother is better, as for the L2 level of intelligent driving assistance system is not absent.
The point is, with the blessing of the DM-i super hybrid system, how is the fuel consumption of song Pro DM-i?
I was test driving the flagship Pro version of the Song Pro DM-i, which has a pure electric range of 110 kilometers, and if it is full of oil and electricity, it can run 1090 kilometers. Because during the test drive, the battery has always been in the feed state, leaving only 25% of the electricity, so the length of the mileage does not matter.
As for the power, it is still a DM-i super hybrid system composed of a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, an EHS electric hybrid system, and a blade battery, in which the maximum power of the motor is 145kW, the maximum torque is 325N·m, the maximum power of the engine is 81kW, and the maximum torque is 135N·m. Speaking of Song Pro DM-i's battery, we have to mention its latest replacement of lithium iron phosphate starting battery, after replacing this battery, then you no longer have to worry about starting the battery feed, better than the traditional lead-acid battery.
Let's start by reporting on its fuel consumption levels. The official fuel consumption is 4.4L/100km, to be honest, such fuel consumption is low enough, but after actual testing (the car is full of fuel, running more than 100 kilometers in Changsha city, back to refuel), the final fuel consumption of the Song Pro DM-i I drove is 4.052L. Note that during the test, I did not deliberately save fuel for the sake of fuel saving, but drove the whole time with the footwork of the daily car, the overtaking car overtook, the brake stopped, there will be no ambiguity. In the end, the Song Pro DM-i can get less fuel consumption than the official claim is indeed quite good.
In fact, after driving the Song Pro DM-i, it gave me the first feeling that the steering feel of the steering wheel is really light, although it is easy to drive, but the electronic question is relatively thick, lack of certain driving pleasure, if the steering feel can be heavier, it is better. The smoothness of this car is really not to say, whether it is a sharp acceleration at the beginning or a re-acceleration in the middle section, it will not make you feel frustrated, the test drive is in Changsha city, through the most congested main road, business circle, Song Pro DM-i's EHS electromix system is really at ease in this process.
Write at the end:
In fact, the biggest highlight of BYD Song Pro DM-i is two, one is its price, and the other is its practicality. You know, the 150,000-level compact SUV market is the main front of independent car brands, haval H6, Changan CS75 PLUS, Geely Boyue here to play a game. At this time, Song Pro DM-i entered the market with excellent practicality and fuel economy, as well as a lower price, which is not a joke, this is to come to the bottom of the salary. Therefore, the official call of song Pro DM-i a fuel SUV disruptor is not in vain. (Text/Uvision Auto Forward)
