Admittedly, I was biased against BYD in the beginning. In ancient times, it was rumored that the BYD F3 chassis was rusty and rotten, oh, that is only a quality problem. Later, I test-drove the "542" era of Song DM, really, in addition to silly fast, including the shape, driving quality, vehicle texture and so on, can not do. Since then, the BYD brand has been beaten into the cold palace by me, and it will never be able to turn over...
But times have changed!
Gradually, BYD's cars on the road ran more and more, and the shape became more and more "normal". Forgive me for still not being able to use "handsome" to describe a brand that was once whipped by me. As a wild car critic with unique sensitivities, I keenly smelled a hint of abnormality, and it was time to re-understand and re-acquaint myself with this old friend. Especially in the era of new energy, BYD's sales of a ride and the phenomenon of "waiting for a car" that could not have appeared on the domestic body before have strengthened my determination.
If you don't want to doze off, someone will send a pillow, a friend ordered the latest Song PLUS EV flagship model freshly baked, the license plate has not yet had time to be carried by me!
For me, who has opened the old Song before, the changes in the new BYD Song, no, can no longer be described by "change", but should be described as "change", which is undoubtedly earth-shaking. For friends who do not know BYD, I will first introduce BYD's "car universe". BYD's current hot models are all pure fuel version, oil-electric hybrid version and pure electric version to meet the needs of different families. And Song is divided into Song PRO and Song PLUS. Of course, like mobile phones, Song PLUS is larger than Song PRO, and the design is updated. The following is a visual comparison chart of the front face of the Song PLUS fuel version, the oil-electric hybrid version and the pure electric version.
We can find that the fuel version of Song PLUS has made the "Song" logo into a traditional style, while the two new energy models have adopted a more trendy relief style. The other biggest difference is that the intake grille is different. If it were you guys, which version would you think would look better? (Anyway, I am the station pure electric EV version, I don't know why)
Unlike the pursuit of speed in the "542" era, BYD is undoubtedly more "rational" now, which is also in line with what I said before, and the tram will be divided into two camps in the future: performance and home. The performance type usually sacrifices the endurance, and accelerates within 5 seconds of 100 kilometers; the home type generally pursues the cruising range, and the 100 kilometer acceleration is in eight or nine seconds. Because OFD has many family models, the division of labor is also very clear, cutting-edge technology, acceleration performance, etc. are handed over to the upstart "Han" to inherit. And people like Song are honestly pragmatic.
The owner first ordered BYD "Han", at that time to wait for three months, felt that the time was too long, and later changed the Song PLUS EV, "only" need to wait for one month. Here I have to mention, why did not choose Song PLUS DM-i, Oh, to wait for half a year is not everyone can afford to consume.
There are only two versions of pure electric Song, the configuration is almost the same, and the endurance is the same as 505 kilometers. The ultimate version adds L2 level of driving assistance. Personally, I think that the current stage of driving assistance is dispensable for old drivers, expensive 10,000 7, see your own needs. Both models are equipped with lithium iron phosphate blade batteries. In actual driving, the owner said that if you use eco mode and do not turn on air conditioning, 500 kilometers of endurance can be achieved properly, and 400 kilometers of ordinary mode is basically no big problem. It seems that BYD is still quite real and does not exaggerate the publicity. As for mileage anxiety? Oh no. Amazingly, all the trams I've tested, the owners of the car do not have mileage anxiety, because they are almost all commuting to and from work, and they are all locals, and there is no need for long-distance raids and home for the New Year.
Since it is said that the Song PLUS car series universe is positioned at home, then we ordinary people must be concerned about the configuration space, right? So, maybe I'm too old-fashioned, too traditional, a car that can give you a seat ventilation and heating configuration, and what other "pediatrics" can't be achieved? Like the people's favorite large screen, mobile phone NFC car key, tire pressure monitoring, 360 ° high-definition image, 6 probe front and rear parking radar, driving recorder, 8-way electric adjustment of the main driving position and so on. The only regret is that perhaps there is no HUD to look up. Perhaps, the refrigerator with rear armrests is missing? Hahaha just kidding.
And the seat of the Song PLUS EV is also very soft, and this softness is the kind of softness that you can feel as soon as you butt. However, I actually have reservations on this point. Seat softness is actually a double-edged sword, the first sitting feeling is definitely comfortable, but the support is insufficient, sitting for a long time waist pain is also real.
The rear space of the Song PLUS EV is also excellent, the rear seats do not sacrifice length for the head space, which plays a good role in supporting my toned thighs, oh yes, the head space also performs well, worthy of the practical positioning of home.
What moved me the most was that the nightmare Song, which I had opened before, was completely reformed in the new model, and it was completely revolutionary.
You can't brag about how invincible the materials and texture of its interior are, which will make it look like you have never seen the world, but at the level of less than 200,000, this kind of material and texture can no longer be faulted.
So I started thinking again, and I found that the series of judgment systems that I had established before seemed to be becoming more and more inappropriate after 2020. Now the 200,000-level interior materials and textures are completely comparable to the materials used in the previous 300,000 or 400,000 joint venture cars. So what's the difference? The difference is in the details, and the details can be divided into high and low. To give a few examples, such as the texture of the knob, the texture of the lever, the texture of the gear handle, the texture of the window when it rises to the top, and the texture of the closing door that many people disdain. These things are invisible to look at, and when they are really used, they can immediately make people feel the so-called "sense of high-grade".
Oh yes, BYD's characteristic Chinese button signs are still there, but they have invisibly diluted a lot. This kind of "forced" has characteristics, in fact, I think it is not necessary, BYD should also have noticed, the new model is also slowly diluting this "label", after all, the product is strong, the Chinese people will have confidence from the bones, right?
In short, in the interior texture of the car, BYD Song PLUS EV, relative to itself, really amazing to me. Interior materials, the damping of the knob levers, the texture of closing doors, etc., are already superior in the same price range.
Of course, the design language of the new generation of Dragon Face is indispensable to the improvement of the appearance of the Song PLUS series.
The shape on the side of the body has become more dynamic, unlike the SUV for suvs before, and now there is even a feeling of walking back. Of course, the color chosen by the owner is also very good, which highlights the body texture of the Song PLUS EV, as a compact SUV, 4705 * 1890 * 1680mm of three dimensions, 2765mm wheelbase, in this level is excellent.
As if to pay tribute to Audi, the taillights of the Song PLUS EV are also very ceremonial!
Then let's take a look at the Song PLUS as a pure electric version, how it is opened. In order to take care of the old users, the start button of the Song PLUS EV is very traditional, no different from the fuel version, step on the brakes, after starting, there will be an animation on the central control display, indicating that it has been turned on. First of all, the Song PLUS EV is equipped with a permanent magnet synchronous motor with a maximum power of 184 hp and a peak torque of 280 Nm (huh?). How familiar), the new car has a battery pack capacity of 71.7kWh and a NEDC range of 505 kilometers.
In normal mode, Song's acceleration is very gentle, driving very much like a fuel car without engine noise. But its brake front foot feels very stiff, like stepping directly on the cement floor, I don't know if this is because of the new car, I haven't stepped on it yet. However, in the process of driving, I can clearly feel the very low center of gravity as an electric car, as if a magnet sucks the car to the ground. This can't help but make me think about it, switching S gears, out of corners, accelerating. Oh no, no, no, no. The limit of the Song PLUS EV is not high, when it is fast to turn, the tire obviously feels slippery, and some deviation from the preset route, so let's honestly drive it.
However, I found that the S gear adjustment of this car is very similar to the sports mode of the fuel car, and the acceleration G value will not give you instantly, but after some delays, it will bring you a feeling of pushing back that is not too strong, after all, the weight is there.
During driving, I found that the sound insulation and noise reduction of the Song PLUS EV was good, and it seemed that the double laminated glass had a significant effect. And in the ditch ridge, speed belt, the suspension of the vehicle also brought me a surprise, although the lack of a loss of toughness, but whether it is rebound or shock absorption, are very crisp, and then I went to check the information, found that the chassis adjustment was done by the Germans, sigh.
Oh another small feature, Song PLUS EV kinetic energy recovery feedback, directly integrated in the center console, even if it is strong feedback, in fact, there will be no very obvious drag feeling, it seems that BYD is still very confident in the blade battery.
tail:
In fact, it is nothing, respect this warrior who waited for half a year!
