Joint venture SUVs of 150,000-200,000 yuan have always been a popular market category, and japanese and Korean German compact fuel SUVs are intertwined here. It shows that consumers have obvious market demand for a model with low price but a certain loading capacity. However, these models are either low-equipped, underpowered, or both.
BYD's DM-i series is definitely the strongest killer of subverting traditional fuel vehicles. This is no longer an uplifting slogan, but a real fact. If I were to recommend a car that was in a compact size and how fast and costly it was, I thought the Song Pro DM-i would be an almost perfect choice.
On December 29th, BYD Super Sense Experience Officer Year-end Appreciation and Song Pro DM-i Tasting Meeting, we gathered at Nanjing Ziqing lake hot spring hotel, test drive this blockbuster model, then the official guidance price (after comprehensive subsidies) 134,800 yuan - 159,800 yuan. Positioning as a "fuel SUV disruptor", what kind of storm can the 2022 Song Pro DM-i debut with such a loud slogan?
01
Cross-level configuration National wind design
It is undeniable that BYD's design level in recent years has been significantly bullish. Although song pro DM-i continues the appearance of the current fuel version and DM version, it integrates the latest Dragon Face 3.0 language, the grid area in the middle is increased to 75%, making the vehicle more atmospheric, and the Logo is embedded in the middle in the form of relief, which looks more textured.
On the side of the body, the Song Pro DM-i adopts a through-waist design, with 18 (the top model is 19) inch rim, whether dynamic or static, can highlight the strong sporty atmosphere. The D-pillar adds the detailed design of the "dragon scale" pattern, which is more eye-catching.
The rear bumper and through taillights are designed in silver and black, and the eye-catching "dragon claw" style is added, which can be highly recognizable and dynamic even at night. In addition, in addition to the original four colors of snow white, time gray, Xuan Yu black and red emperor red, Song Pro DM-i has added the popular azure blue color.
On the interior, Song Pro DM-i has added a new color of Qilin Brown + Sky Gray, it is understood that the design is the inspiration found from the ancient god beast Qilin, supplemented by the popular earth color, luxurious and stable; in addition, the glazed jade blue interior color from the Song Dynasty's "Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" has also been moved to the car, appearing classic and elegant.
Surround-type cockpit style, and in the center console, door panels, armrest boxes and other places using soft material wrapping; the front "Dragon's Ridge" integrated seats, rear seat backrest angle 98-118 degrees multi-level adjustable, to create a visual and tactile double enjoyment, bringing more luxurious travel enjoyment.
In terms of technology configuration, it is the strength of the 2022 Song Pro DM-i. According to different configurations, the central control screen size is 15.6 inches, 12.8 inches and 10.1 inches, and all models are equipped with the latest DiLink4.0 intelligent network system, which is stronger than the original 3.0 car machine system, and also supports the OTA vehicle upgrade function.
The new car also comes standard with the NFC/FRID key, which is a feature, and in addition to the entry-level model, the Song Pro DM-i is equipped with full-speed adaptive cruise, 360-degree panoramic image and other functions to reduce potential driving risks.

Fuel car killer
I'm sure a lot of people have been skeptical about plug-in hybrids as a technical category before, and you can't say it's bad, but its benefits are only on paper. Most plug-in hybrid users do not have their own independent and exclusive electricity conditions, just for the sake of policy favors and do not want to bear the range anxiety of pure electric models and make a compromise.
In fact, after this kind of car conditions, the plug-in hybrid model shows its weakest side. At this time, the fuel consumption of the vehicle in most cases is more expensive than that of the pure gasoline-powered model.
DM-i technology is a good way to make up for this market gap, the 2022 Song Pro DM-i is equipped with DM-i super hybrid system, with the Xiaoyun-plug hybrid special 1.5L high-efficiency engine, EHS electric hybrid system and DM-i super hybrid special blade battery as the core, the thermal efficiency of the engine is as high as 43.04%. Even under the condition of power loss, its energy consumption level can still reach the level of Japanese hybrid models.
In the actual experience process, I think the power level of the 2022 Song Pro DM-i can basically refer to the output of some 2.0T high-power engines. The lack of a gearbox and the electrified infrastructure make it more responsive to power. The purpose of Song Pro DM-i's powertrain is to achieve energy saving and high efficiency. I think it did, and it did a great job.
Even if it is placed in HEV for a long time, that is, the hybrid mode of oil and electricity, its power output characteristics are similar to those of electric vehicles. Basically, in the speed range commonly used by consumers, its body feel is better than that of gasoline models.
In addition to the other driving characteristics of the power, the establishment of the steering feel of the 2022 Song Pro DM-i is a relatively gentle feel, and this "comparison" I use is still subtle. Basically in any mode, a girl can swing it with one finger in any working condition.
In the suspension setting, the chassis tuned by former Mercedes-Benz engineer Hans Kirk was very well filtered in response to the small impacts of the road surface, and the vibration was almost invisible on the road surface painted with paint and speed bumps. However, the treatment of the big shock shows the disadvantage of this price point on the basis, but other competitor models will encounter the same problem.
In terms of NVH, we can see a large amount of sound insulation materials in the engine room, which is very good to block the introduction of abnormal sound into the cockpit. If I have to pick a thorn, I think the performance of Giti's tires does give a big discount to the overall texture.
Finally, in terms of price, Song Pro DM-i is still very tempting. As we all know, the hybrid version of the model due to the addition of a set of electric drive system, usually higher than the price of traditional fuel vehicles, in the 150,000-level new energy SUV market to buy a plug-in hybrid model, other independent brands can only say that they have achieved close standards, while the joint venture brand is going to the level of 200,000 yuan.
Compared with the 150,000-class fuel SUV, Song Pro DM-i also has unparalleled advantages of fuel SUVs, such as free purchase tax, green card, ultra-long range endurance, acceleration experience and so on. Therefore, the official also gave high hopes to Song Pro DM-i, allowing DM-i super hybrid to enter the market segment where traditional fuel vehicles are absolutely dominant, and kill a blue ocean in the Red Sea.

Write at the end
If riders can contact BYD DM-i, I believe you will start to look at the brand with a different eye. It is indeed a very good presence in the current field of plug-in hybrid, even if it looks at the world, which makes me look forward to the more comprehensive popularization of DM-i system by OTHER BYD models. And compared with other brands of hybrid models, DM-i is also relatively close to the people in terms of price, so that the people also have the opportunity to contact advanced technology.
For consumers, more excellent and more energy-saving plug-in hybrid power, more intelligent and safer technology configuration, and can also enjoy the new energy policy free purchase tax and green card, throughout the domestic market, although it can not be completely par with fuel models, but the price of about 150,000 yuan is currently only BYD can do.
