At the end of December 2021, BYD's 2022 Song Pro DM-i was listed, priced at 134,800 yuan - 159,800 yuan (after subsidies). My first reaction was, did a friend who bought the 2021 model mention the car? How the 2022 model is coming.
Since the release of BYD DM-i technology, coupled with the "blade battery" blessing, several of its models have sold well. Although the sales volume is the best for the low-priced Qin Pro DM-i, it is said that the longest waiting for the car is the Song Pro DM-i and the Song PLUS DM-i. However, I personally recommend Song PLUS DM-i, the space and chassis level are significantly better advanced.
Let's talk about a topic this time, the same level of price as Song Pro DM-i, in order to green card in addition to BYD, if you choose pure electric models, what are the recommendations?
2022 Song Pro DM-i 13.48~159,800 yuan
If you are worried about the endurance of pure electric vehicles for the sake of green card and the need for long-distance travel, then you can choose BYD DM-i models. There is also a situation that although it is mainly used in the city, it is not very convenient to charge the place of residence, so DM-i is also a good choice.
First of all, let's mention the changes to the 2022 Song Pro DM-i, with slight changes in the exterior and interior, such as the increased proportion of the front grille. In addition to the original four body colors of snow white, time gray, Xuan Yu black and red emperor red, the 2022 Song Pro DM-i has added the popular azure blue body color.
Xiaoyun-plug-mix special 1.5L engine + EHS mixing system combination, maximum torque 135N·m, maximum torque of motor 325N·m, comprehensive maximum power 173kW. If you choose the battery version with a battery life of 110km, it accelerates by 7.9 seconds from 100 km/h and accelerates from 100 km/h in 8.5 seconds.
The biggest advantage of DM-i technology is the fuel consumption after the loss of electricity, after all, many friends are not very convenient to charge, and they also need to drive long distances. Song Pro DM-i 100 km of power loss fuel consumption is as low as 4.4 liters, and the 110km model supports DC fast charging. The starting battery (battery) is upgraded from the lead acid of the ordinary car to lithium iron phosphate.
Another point is that the DM-i technology is really smooth, basically exactly the same as the Honda i-MMD. Its power is smooth and comfortable, most of the working conditions are mainly driven by motors, and the driving experience is infinitely close to pure electric vehicles.
Finally, how to choose 51km (battery capacity 8.3kWh) and 110km (battery capacity 18.3kWh) versions? It is recommended to choose the 110km version.
The reason is that BYD DM-i technology will start the gasoline engine when the battery power is more than enough to ensure that there is enough power acceleration after power loss, so the pure electric endurance of the 51km version is very general. The 110km/h acceleration takes only 7.9 seconds, which is better than the 51km version of 8.5 seconds.
GAC AION Y 10.96-15.76 million
Whether you choose PHEV or DM-i, you can't do without a traditional gasoline engine, and you can't help but go to the pit to change the oil and go to the gas station to refuel. The probability of problems with both powertrains is also higher.
If you are mainly based on urban travel, occasionally drive a long distance, compared to plug-in hybrids, you want to experience the intelligent pure electric driving life. Then in this market, there is a pure electric SUV with exquisite design at the same price, which is GAC Aion AION Y.
The new AION Y, which was just launched in November 2021, launched 7 models in one go, with a price guidance range of 10.96-15.76 million, and the main upgrades also focused on appearance and technology configuration. For example, two new appearance colors, Star Green and Ice Rose Pink, have increased the AION Y car color to 9, and the new two colors are also in line with the aesthetics of young people.
Full LCD dashboard and oversized central control screen with built-in ADiGO 4.0 system. As a smart pure electric vehicle, AION Y has a lot of interesting things, such as the super visual distance summoning berth function - it can complete the autonomous berthing and summoning operation based on the high-precision map, and the summoning distance can reach up to 150 meters.
If AION Y is insufficient, the motivation is one. It is equipped with two kinds of permanent magnet synchronous motors with different powers, including the 60 models with a maximum power of 70 kW, the 70 and 80 motors with a maximum power of 135 kW, and the peak torque of 225 N·m. This motivation can only be used in urban mobility.
In terms of battery life, the Type 60 and Type 70 will be equipped with two different capacities of lithium iron phosphate batteries of 55.5kwh and 63.98kwh, with a range of 510km and 500km respectively. The Model 80 is equipped with a ternary lithium battery with a capacity of 76.8 kWh, and the NEDC has a comprehensive working condition of 600 kilometers.
