Many people may not have expected that the ideal ONE can sell so well, especially this 6/7-seat large family car, after the national three-child policy was promulgated, the just need for family travel to make the 6/7-seat model become the next market blue ocean.
In my opinion, to meet family travel, an MPV is often more comfortable than an SUV, but in today's soaring oil prices, an excellent MPV model in addition to excellent storage space, excellent driving quality, but also must take into account low fuel consumption, which is exactly the advantage of BYD DM-i super hybrid.
After the Song, Han, Qin and other models shined, on March 12, BYD Song MAX DM-i was officially launched, pushing a total of 5 models, priced at 145,800-172,800 yuan. The five models are equipped with a 1.5L engine + electric motor DM-i plug-in hybrid system, two entry-level models have a pure electric mileage of 51km, and three high-end models have a pure electric mileage of 105km, and support fast charging.
The appearance of the new car is not much different from the fuel version of song MAX, mainly in some details have been fine-tuned, mainly to add a ''upgrade roof' administrative version, in the roof to add a similar additional luggage, in fact, its space is used to expand the internal roof space, but also installed a top light, so that the entire interior space is higher and more practical, so that the new car has a more outdoor feeling.
In terms of size, the new car and the fuel version are basically the same, with a length, width and height of 4710/1810/1690 (1880 mm on the top), and a wheelbase of 2785 mm. However, the interior seats are based on the seven-seat layout of the standard 232, the top configuration is changed to a 6-seat layout, the addition of the "upgrade roof" will allow passengers in the car to have more head space, and the third row of seats supports full flattening.
In terms of interior, the new Song MAX DM-i has replaced the gear lever with an electronic lever and adopted a combination of LCD instruments and a large central control screen, bringing an excellent sense of technology. At the same time, the new car adds wave elements to the door panel and center console to enhance the sense of grade.
As it is a DM-i model, the whole series is equipped with BYD blade batteries, passive safety performance has been improved, in addition, in terms of active safety, the new car is equipped with DiPilot intelligent driver assistance system, integrating full-speed domain ACC adaptive cruise system, predictive emergency braking system, holographic transparent image, TSR traffic sign recognition and other rich safety configurations, all-round escort driving safety.
It is worth mentioning that the 2022 Song MAX DM-i series is equipped with VTOL mobile power station as standard, which can achieve a stable output of 220V AC, outdoor cooking, singing K, outdoor movies and what can be easily realized during picnic camping, incarnating as a mobile "RV", the new model is more intimate when traveling with family.
The power part, 1.5L Xiaoyun high-efficiency engine + electric motor composed of DM-i plug-in hybrid system, the maximum power of the engine is 81kW, the peak torque is 135N·m, and the acceleration time of 100 kilometers is only 7.9 seconds. Blade battery has two capacity options, namely 8.3kWh and 18.3kWh, corresponding to NEDC endurance of 51km and 105km, of which the 105km version supports fast charging, the official said that 30 minutes can complete the power from 30% to 80%, in the case of full oil and full power, the maximum 1090 km of ultra-long endurance.
Importantly, in the 92 # oil price is about to break 9 yuan today, Song MAX DM-i 100 km feeder fuel consumption is as low as 4.4L, the city commuting can choose pure electric mode when pure electric models use, performance and fuel consumption this "fish and bear paw" to achieve a perfect combination.
In general, as an MPV model that carries the whole family, after the DM-i super hybrid system is added, Song MAX DM-i, as the first plug-in hybrid MPV model in the 100,000-150,000 price range, is attractive at the moment when oil prices are soaring, and whether it can regain the share that was once taken by Trumpchi M6, I think BYD's production capacity problem may become the biggest key.
