Recently, BYD has successively had new models burst out, and DM-i models have appeared on the stage one after another, which can be described as earning enough consumers' attention. With the unveiling of more models, the concept of "super hybrid" has also entered the field of vision of consumers. As the "Big Brother" model of the BYD Dynasty series, is the BYD Tang DM-i worth our entry? With such a question, the car demon king will explain this model in detail today.
Appearance Interpretation:
"Dargon Face" is the family design language of the BYD Dynasty series, and Tang DM-i still continues this style in terms of appearance design, the classic combination of large grille and small eyes, from the overall point of view, the atmosphere and sharp feeling are balanced just right.
Unlike the previous Tang DM-p, DM-i is more "homely", and the wheel hub has returned to a more coordinated and restrained 20 inches. The DM-i's tail design is equally sophisticated, with the through-line taillights being a highlight, adding a lot of dynamic elements to the solid rear.
Interior Interpretation:
Although the appearance of Tang DM-i has fewer changes, it is actually "clean inside". The materials in the interior part of dm-i are relatively solid, and the front of the co-pilot is composed of four layers of different materials, and the layering created by multiple materials is very eye-catching. The hidden dragon claw scratch style atmosphere lamp has a feeling of national style design.
The most eye-catching is the highly technically capable 15.6-inch central control screen. The central control screen is equipped with the third-generation D-Link system, which has improved the speech recognition capability compared with the previous version. In addition, the new car is equipped with a mobile phone NFC opening function, which is also a small highlight.
Powertrain Interpretation:
Unlike the previous BYD Tang DM-p, the design core of the DM-i series falls on the "performance". The dm-i engine, the Snap Cloud Hybrid Special 1.5T engine, is tailor-made for hybrid models. The engine changes components such as air conditioning compressors to electric drives and is combined with an in-cylinder direct injection system. This configuration increases the thermal efficiency of the engine to 40%. It can be seen that this new design concept that emphasizes "pragmatism" is completely different from the traditional design logic of emphasizing "sense of strength" in the past, and it is also one of the biggest highlights of DM-i.
In terms of drivetrain, DM-i did not use a conventional gearbox, but replaced it with an EHS electromix system. The targeted optimization method of the three major parts has greatly reduced fuel consumption and power consumption. This enables BYD DM-i to achieve a fuel consumption of 5.3L at a minimum of 100 km/h in the event of power loss, and a total cruising range of 1050 km.
Although the existing engine and transmission system sacrifice part of the power output, according to official data, the DM-i's 100-kilometer acceleration time is only 8.5 seconds, which is still good for such a big guy with a volume of more than 2t.
In terms of chassis, in order to echo the design core, DM-i's tuning pays more attention to comfort, the filtration of road bumps is in place, and because the vehicle is mainly electric drive, NVH performance has been well optimized, and the car is quieter when driving.
Editor's Comments:
All in all, the BYD Tang DM-i model provides a new choice for the majority of consumers, a family-friendly model that does not pursue power too much, but fully considers the efficiency. This model, which subverts the traditional design concept of the vehicle, is believed to become a new choice for many family cars.
