Although car companies are constantly scrambling to launch new energy vehicles, compared with the development of centuries of fuel vehicles, there are not many pure electric products available on the market. So is there a product that can be done at home, at a good price? The answer is yes, the BYD Song PLUS EV that the cylinder brother test drove this time will solve this problem.
All along, BYD has been deeply cultivating in the field of new energy, adhering to the self-made parts and components, maintaining the spirit of technological innovation, remember a sentence that BYD President Wang Chuanfu once said? "Doing electric vehicles is BYD's original intention to enter the automotive industry." As can be seen from the sales results, in December 2021, BYD's total passenger car sales were 97,990 units, an increase of 77.9% year-on-year, and it can be seen that consumers' recognition of BYD is very high.
Before the official opening, brother cylinder still wants to start from the design of the face value, after all, the appearance design is always one of the primary car purchase factors for every consumer. At the first sight of Song PLUS EV, the cylinder brother can distinguish its new energy identity at a glance, after all, there is a big difference with the fuel version of the model, Song PLUS EV adopts the exclusive closed front face of the EV model, and uses a slender silver trim plate on the top as an embellishment, with the new front bracket design, under the aesthetic basis of Dragon Face 3.0, the overall refinement is further strengthened.
In terms of headlights, the headlights are still the full LED light group in the shape of the dragon crystal, and the interior of the lamp cavity also retains the blue daytime running lights, which is indeed bright and energetic.
The body side of the Song PLUS EV is basically not much different from the fuel version and the plug-in version, the new car size is 4705 * 1890 * 1680mm, the body wheelbase is 2765mm, and the whole series is equipped with a dark privacy glass in the rear row. The tire specification is 235/50 R19, but the design of this hub is still a bit interesting, and it is only a black/silver two-tone combination from a distance, but a closer look still makes a certain sporty design.
The through-line taillight group at the tail has become one of the design elements of BYD's family. It can be seen that the taillights extend all the way to the fenders, and the design of the dragon's claws can also be found in the taillights, and the blackening design is carried out, which is highly recognizable after lighting.
The interior design of song PLUS EV, using a new sun candle blue + sky gray interior collocation, is visually very novel, very in line with the tonality of new energy. In terms of configuration, BYD Song PLUS EV is equipped with a 12.3-inch full LCD dashboard and a rotatable 12.8-inch central control screen and supports wireless charging of mobile phones, Bluetooth/NFC induction key, it is worth mentioning that BYD Song PLUS EV is equipped with the latest Dilink 3.0 intelligent network system, which is still great to experience.
In addition to the praise on the car, the seat of the Song PLUS EV is also worthy of praise. First of all, its seat adopts a one-piece design, and the filling of the seat is very sufficient, which is a bit of a "big sofa" feeling. Secondly, in the shape of the color matching is also very new and in line with the taste of young people, our test drive is also equipped with multi-directional electric adjustment, heating, ventilation and driver's seat memory function, for this price, the configuration is indeed very thick.
Thanks to the long wheelbase performance of 2765mm, both the front and rear seats have excellent space performance in terms of riding space, which can be compared with many medium-sized SUVs, although the Song PLUS EV is a small sneakback design, but the rear row can still have ample head and leg space, and its sitting posture is not affected by the battery pack at the bottom of the car. In addition, the Song PLUS EV has a relatively flat trunk, and the seat support ratio is reclined, which is very friendly for family outings.
I have to say that the models launched by BYD in recent years have gradually begun to show a very high level, and as the main sales of the Song family, this new BYD Song PLUS EV positioning is also very accurate, whether in the ride space, intelligent technology functions of the comprehensive performance is very balanced, it can be said that it is one of the most cost-effective pure electric SUV.
As a household pure electric SUV, I believe that in addition to considering the driving experience and configuration, the most concerned issue is the problem of battery safety and battery life, after all, a family travels to play, "battery anxiety" This is a very serious problem, but BYD seems to break this "spell".
In terms of power endurance, all models of Song PLUS EV are equipped with a permanent magnet synchronous motor with a maximum power of 135kW (184PS) and a peak torque of 280N·m, and the blade battery as BYD's housekeeping skill, Song PLUS EV is of course not absent, which matches the 71.7kWh lithium iron phosphate blade battery, which can provide 505km NEDC cruising range. This endurance is still good in the same class, and its driving experience is still remarkable.
The driving mode of song PLUS EV is available in ECO, NORMAL and SPORT modes, and we have experienced urban roads, highways and bumps in the test drive section. It can be found that the Song PLUS EV perfectly avoids the hysteresis phenomenon on the fuel version in terms of output characteristics, and in the case of full power, the throttle response is very sensitive, and it can even be said to be more linear than the DM-i version, which is completely different from the fuel version.
It is worth mentioning that the energy recovery of Song PLUS EV provides two gears of standard feedback and larger feedback. In the standard mode, the braking feedback brought by the traditional fuel vehicle is very similar, even if the accelerator pedal is released, the vehicle will still remain taxiing, even if the braking force under the intervention of the larger gear, it will not cause discomfort to the passengers in the car, and all the settings are still based on comfort.
Similarly, the chassis performance of the Song PLUS EV is also excellent. In response to the high-speed section, can well resolve a variety of fine vibrations, and when cornering, the suspension can show a strong toughness, there will be no rolling situation, even in the case of sharp acceleration, sharp braking, the vehicle will not appear obvious nod, look up phenomenon, on the whole, the driving experience is still quite good, can give the driver enough confidence.
summary
In general, the experience of the cylinder brother, on the whole, Song PLUS EV is still very suitable for home, although in the compact SUV group, the competition of independent brands is quite fierce, but compared with many brands, BYD can be regarded as a "most persistent" new energy manufacturer, it has formed a very distinct style, Song PLUS EV This car does not disappoint everyone at all.
Finally, BYD Song PLUS EV, whether in the design or quality configuration, the performance is balanced enough, the key, the price of less than 200,000 is still quite attractive for everyone, will you choose this pure electric SUV to become your "car"?
