Before sharing the BYD Song MAX DM-i car, let's first understand the market situation of BYD DM-i series models.
At present, the models equipped with BYD DM-i include "Qin PLUS, Song PLUS, Song Pro and Tang" and other models, of which "Qin PLUS" and "Song PLUS" have been in a state of short supply since their listing, and monthly sales can easily exceed 10,000, and even many places need to queue up to pick up cars, which shows the popularity in the market.
Considering that many friends may not be able to distinguish between the models of the BYD Song series, today I will give you a brief distinction here.
BYD Song series models are divided into three categories, namely "Pro", "PLUS" and "MAX", the first two are SUV models, and both have a DM-i version, the latter is an MPV model, dm-i version only rushed to the battlefield today.
Although BYD's DM-i series models have a layout in the sedan and SUV markets, they were still vacant in the MPV market. The arrival of Song MAX DM-i just filled this gap.
After introducing these simple backgrounds, let's talk about the quality of BYD Song MAX DM-i's products.
Filling a gap in the MPV market?
BYD Song MAX DM-i is an MPV model, priced at 145,800 yuan - 172,800 yuan after comprehensive subsidies, a total of 5 models. Just now we also said that with its listing, it has filled the gap in the MPV market for BYD DM-i models.
Although the MPV model is far less popular in the domestic market than that of cars and SUVs, it is undeniable that with the opening of the state to the three-child policy, as well as the general trend of oil prices rising at this stage.
Obviously, consumers need a price-friendly, fuel-efficient and reliable MPV model to meet their daily travel needs. So can this Song MAX DM-i take on this responsibility? Don't worry, listen to me.
DM-i Super Hybrid?
The newly launched BYD Song MAX DM-i is equipped with a plug-in system composed of BYD's 1.5L naturally aspirated engine and electric motor, with a maximum engine power of 81kW and a peak torque of 135N·m.
As with the previous DM-i models, two different versions of pure electric endurance are available, one is pure electric endurance of 51km and the other is 105km.
Among them, the 105km version supports fast charging, but it is not equipped with a real fast charging port, but a fast charging conversion head that can support fast charging, which allows you to quickly recharge the power at the fast charging station.
Secondly, BYD Song MAX DM-i also supports external power supply, that is, BYD's self-developed VTOL mobile power station function, which can provide a power output of 3.3kW.
Like many urban people now have a busy life and work, occasionally "escape the hustle and bustle of the city" on weekends, at this time you can meet a few friends, drive the Song MAX DM-i to the suburbs for a "picnic" and change your lifestyle.
Officially, this MPV model is very fuel-efficient, even in the feed mode, the fuel consumption of 100 kilometers can be reduced to 4.4 liters, and in the state of full oil and full power, the comprehensive endurance can reach 1090km. From the book data, it is indeed very good.
Take my own BYD Song PLUS DM-i real fuel consumption as a reference, the actual fuel consumption measured in the feed mode is between 4.5-5 liters, which is basically the same as the fuel consumption in the official feed mode, for such a large medium-sized SUV, I can accept it.
Returning to the Song MAX DM-i, I suspect that its actual fuel consumption should not be much different from the official claim, after all, the two use the same powertrain.
At present, the oil price of "No. 92" gasoline is about to break through the "9 yuan" mark, and for ordinary families, buying an MPV model with good fuel economy is undoubtedly a wise choice.
The DM-i super hybrid system is mainly based on electricity, in the urban road conditions, basically use the motor to drive the wheels, compared to the fuel car will be more fuel-efficient, the cost of the car will naturally be lower.
Exterior: a unique "upgrade roof"?
From the appearance point of view, the new BYD Song MAX DM-i is basically the same as the fuel version, but there are some changes in the details.
For example: family-style dragon face design, chrome trim strips are connected to the headlight group, widening the overall visual width, the left and right sides are equipped with deflectors, and the front face shape is more in line with the aesthetics of current consumers.
Of course, if you want to say which point of appearance attracts my attention more, the first one is this suspended roof, Song MAX DM-i will look more stylish from the side. It doesn't look as "dull" as other MPV models.
The second is the design of this roof "upgraded roof", which looks very special.
Its main role is to improve the head space of the occupants in the car, and it is not a real roof box. This design is relatively rare on MPV models, and I feel quite personal. For BYD Song MAX DM-i, perhaps this is one of its iconic features.
Interior: Warm design, thick materials
When I came to the car, my first feeling was that I was still VERY BYD.
12.8-inch central control screen (high-end is 15.6 inches), equipped with BYD's latest DiLink 4.0 intelligent network system, this function I have also experienced on the meta PLUS, the speech recognition rate is particularly high, and can continuously recognize voice commands, screen clarity, and fluency are very good.
And this screen it is supportive of adaptive rotation, the function in the car is basically concentrated in this large screen, the screen main interface function is clear and clear, even if you are the first time to use this car machine system, the learning cost will not be too high, you can easily get started, which is my personal favorite.
The central control area is basically the same design as my own Song PLUS DM-i, retaining a large number of commonly used physical buttons, such as the adjustment of driving mode, lane centering function can be found here.
In addition, Song MAX DM-i also offers 6-seater and 7-seater versions for consumers to choose from, and the 2,785mm wheelbase also ensures that the interior space of Song MAX DM-i is not small, ensuring the comfort of the car.
"Safe, smart" two-way empowerment?
As a 150,000-class MPV model, song MAX DM-i comes standard with keyless entry, 360-degree panoramic image, electric adjustable seat for the main passenger car (high-end model), electric rear tailgate and other configurations. For MPV models at this price point, the configuration is abundant.
Secondly, in terms of safety configuration, the new car is equipped with 6 airbags, the whole series is equipped with tire pressure monitoring, automatic parking and other functions, if it is a high-end model, it is also equipped with DiPilot intelligent driver assistance system and ACC adaptive cruise.
Like when the traffic flow is relatively large, we can turn on the intelligent driving assistance function, which can alleviate your driving fatigue to a certain extent.
In addition, functions such as lane departure warning, lane keeping, and anti-collision warning are equipped for you on the Song MAX DM-i model. From the above security configuration, we can see that BYD still attaches great importance to the issue of security.
At the end of the day
In the current environment of the general rise in domestic "oil prices", models that pay more attention to vehicle fuel economy such as the DM-i series are obviously more in line with the needs of an ordinary family user.
In the MPV market of 150,000, it is clear that BYD Song MAX DM-i has enough product competitiveness, fuel saving, power and strength, in addition, for some users in limited license cities, buying this car can also enjoy subsidies for new energy policies, and also give you a green card for free.
