Judging from the SUV sales list of the Chinese auto market this year, the top few are almost all covered by compact SUVs, and the reason why this level of model will be favored by consumers is nothing more than that it has a spacious space, sufficient configuration and people-friendly prices, etc. To sum up: the cost performance is high enough. So does a compact, pure electric SUV have these advantages? Today, Uncle Che selected two representative pure electric SUVs for everyone, they are BYD Song Pro New Energy and Nezha U Pro.
The 2022 BYD Song Pro New Energy was listed in December last year, and the new car has a total of 5 configurations, with a price range of 135,800 to 160,800 yuan. The 2021 Nezha U Pro was launched in April last year, and the price range of this model is 104,800 to 179,800 yuan. Next, Che Uncle will choose the Song Pro New Energy top version model and the guidance price of 161,800 yuan Nezha U modified Pro 400 exclusive driving version for comparison, the price difference between the two is only 0.1 million yuan.
Exterior design
The 2022 Song Pro New Energy as the annual redesign model, is also an extended model, in terms of exterior design basically follows the style of the current model, but some of the details of the design have been fine-tuned, for example, the proportion of the car's mid-grid grid has increased from the previous 60% to 75%, while the interior matches a large number of high-gloss materials and chrome decorative parts, the visual effect is more impactful.
Nezha U Pro version and the previous model model model design is basically the same, in many new forces brand models belong to a more personalized one, of which the new headlights in the front of the face of the area accounted for a large proportion, the light group on both sides of the special design, the middle also integrated Nezha car brand logo elements. The through-type LED running lights are lit differently for different driving modes, with ECO mode only lighting up both ends and Sport mode lighting up all.
In terms of body size, the specific length, width and height of Song Pro New Energy are 4650× 1860×1700 mm, and the wheelbase is 2712 mm. The side design of the new car is not much different from the old model, the waist line with BYD characteristics has been retained, the concave and convex design has also created a fairly good light and shadow effect for the body side, and the car has also been equipped with a 19-inch wheel rim, and the D-pillar has been changed to bright black trim.
The specific length, width and height of the Nezha U Pro are 4530×1860×1628 mm, and the wheelbase is 2770 mm. In the same class, the car belongs to the category with a higher axle ratio, the front and rear overhangs are slightly shorter, the wheels are close to the four corners of the body, and with the design of the D-pillar with a large inclination, the figure of the sporty is self-evident.
Song Pro New Energy's tail design is well known, the shape and most of the design details are consistent with the old model, the through-type tail light group is still eye-catching, and the middle part is decorated with silver trim. The changes in the rear part of the car are mainly reflected in the rear surround area, where the details and lines are richer than those of the old model, and the sense of layering is better.
The focus of the rear part of the Nezha U Pro is naturally the transverse taillights, the entire tail is decorated with multiple horizontal lines, and the black D pillar and the rear glass window are connected, as if everything is in line with the light group. In addition, the new car has added a small Pro logo below the tail tag, which is also the label of the car that has undergone upgrading and evolution.
Interior design
The interior of Song Pro New Energy has obviously changed more than the appearance, among which the interior of the car adopts BYD's latest design language, and the shape of the center console has become more rounded and overall after being redesigned, and the sense of fashion has also been significantly improved. As a top-of-the-line version, the car is matched with an 8.8-inch full LCD instrument cluster and a 12.8-inch floating central control display, which supports satellite navigation, road call rescue, Bluetooth car phone, voice recognition control, Internet of Vehicles, OTA upgrade, etc.
Nezha U Pro interior design takes a simple route, although the car has 8 screens, but under the trend of today's large screen, it does not feel particularly domineering. The new car has upgraded the voice function of the multimedia system, the user experience is better than in the past, and the transparent A-pillar has been optimized and upgraded. It is a pity that the redesigned Pro 400 Premium Driving Edition is not particularly good in terms of multimedia configuration, and compared with Song Pro New Energy, it lacks satellite navigation, road call rescue, voice recognition control, and Internet of Vehicles.
The seats in the Song Pro new energy car are wrapped in imitation leather fabric, which supports the electric adjustment of the main passenger seat and the heating/ventilation of the front seats in terms of function. The front seats in this model are sporty, with prominent wings on both sides of the cushions and backrests, and the material is hard, with a good sense of wrapping and comfort.
The seats in the Nezha U Pro car are also wrapped in imitation leather fabrics, and the front seat heating/ventilation is missing compared to Song Pro New Energy in terms of function. The front seats of the new car are one-piece design, and the details are decorated with stitching, which is more delicate in visual effects, but the interior padding is hard and the comfort is not good.
The rear seats in song pro new energy vehicles maintain the same level as the front row in terms of material application and workmanship, and the left and right sides have a certain degree of invertedness, the sense of wrapping is good, and the backrest of the car supports angle adjustment, and users of different sizes can find a relatively comfortable sitting posture.
The rear space in the Nezha U Pro car performs well, the seat cushion length is excellent, which can give the rear passengers good leg support, the rear floor is flat, and the longitudinal length of the middle position is considerable, and it performs well when traveling with full personnel.

In terms of drivetrain, it is matched by the E-CVT stepless gearbox, which is equipped with a lithium iron phosphate battery pack with a capacity of 18.3 kWh and a pure electric range of 110 km.
