Since its official release, BYD's DM-i super hybrid system has shown a breakthrough posture in the market, and the advantages of new energy power have been fully exerted in the traditional automobile market.
With only two series of MODELS, BYD Qin DM-i and Song DM-i, BYD has gained the ability to impact the top three sales in the sedan and SUV markets.
In February this year, BYD Song New Energy sold a total of 22,756 units, ranking third in the SUV sales list. Bydir Qin PLUS sold 22,508 units, ranking fifth in the car market.
According to this rhythm, the new energy era is really silently coming to us.
However, from success there are regrets. As the flagship model of BYD SUV, in order to distinguish it from the DM with more powerful power performance, The Don DM-i has only provided a two-wheel drive drive form since its listing.
There is no doubt that this will make many consumers who prefer DM-i super hybrid systems feel some regrets.
After all, such a size SUV, without a four-wheel drive system, will make its full-scene adaptability somewhat discounted.
Especially for consumers with outdoor needs, there is no four-wheel drive, DM-i efficient power generation efficiency and external discharge function, will be compressed application scenarios.
For example, towing a motorhome for travel.
However, this shortcoming is about to be filled.
Recently, according to the declaration information of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the four-wheel drive version of BYD Tang DM-i has issued an announcement that the new car is expected to be officially listed in the near future.
Judging from the announcement issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the new BYD Tang DM-i four-wheel drive version of the model has not changed much in the shape of the whole vehicle, and still continues the slender and full but introverted body proportion relationship of the BYD Tang family.
Realistically speaking, in the camp of medium and large SUVs of independent brands, BYD Tang's vehicle design is quite an excellent and classic case.
After many years, this physical relationship is not necessarily outdated at all.
Compared with the Already listed Tang DM-i, the new Tang DM-i four-wheel drive version of the model has readjusted the pattern of the front, the two sides of the intake grille are connected by black trim panels and the air intakes on both sides as a whole, while the internal structure of the intake grille adopts a scaly design.
As a result, the front layering of the new BYD Tang DM-i has been significantly improved, and the recognizability has become higher.
This shape is also expected to become the design of the new BYD Tang DM-i series, and as the flagship model, BYD Tang DM-i will also take the lead in ushering in the modification of the DM-i series.
According to the information announced by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the new BYD Tang DM-i four-wheel drive version will be equipped with a 45.8 kWh battery pack, and the WLTC pure electric mileage can reach 215 kilometers, while the net electric mileage of THEDC can reach 252 kilometers.
It is powered by an electric four-wheel drive system consisting of a 1.5T turbocharged engine and two drive motors.
Among them, the maximum output power of the engine is 102 kilowatts, the front axle drive motor is rated at 160 kilowatts, and the rear axle drive motor is rated at 200 kilowatts.
From the perspective of power configuration, the new BYD Tang DM-i four-wheel drive version and the new BYD Han DM-p model that have been released are consistent in power configuration, and both adopt high-performance electric four-wheel drive systems.
According to this calculation, the new four-wheel drive version of BYD Tang DM-i will continue the product naming of DM-p, so as to form a new round of high-performance product sequences with BYD Han DM-p.
With the upgrade and redesign of the new Tang DM-i, the old DM version is expected to withdraw from the market subsequently, completing the by-product replacement of the BYD brand in the high-performance product line.
According to BYD's plan, in the future, DM-i and DM-p will constitute two product sequences, of which DM-i will focus on the entry-level market, and DM-p will be launched as a high-performance product sequence.
In order to achieve differentiation, the two will be different in terms of power layout and internal combustion engine layout, DM-i emphasizes smooth output, and tends to use the configuration of front-drive and 1.5L naturally aspirated engine on the entry-level model, while the DM-p model emphasizes strong power performance, and mainly uses electric all-wheel drive and 1.5T turbocharged engine as the main configuration in high-end models.
At the heart of both are the DM-i super hybrid systems.
On the basis of the hybrid power architecture of the DM-i Super Hybrid System, the DM-p model and the DM-i four-wheel drive version have achieved a change in drive form by adding an additional set of rear axle electric motors.
At the same time, the output power of the motor is further amplified, and the driving performance of the power system is enhanced.
Prior to this, dm series models with parallel hybrid architecture still appeared as performance versions on the two flagship models of BYD Han and BYD Tang after the DM-i system was equipped with entry-level models.
Compared with the DM-i super hybrid system, the DM hybrid system uses the advantages of its parallel hybrid to fully amplify the output capacity of the electric motor, thus creating a strong power performance of BYD DM series models and making it have a supercar-level acceleration performance.
However, compared with the new generation of DM-i super hybrid systems, dm hybrid systems will have more severe performance attenuation under power coupling and power loss conditions. Therefore, being replaced by DM-i is an inevitable option.
BYD Han DM-p to achieve a high-performance four-wheel drive architecture, in the BYD Tang DM-i four-wheel drive, electric four-wheel drive system and DM-i super hybrid system, so that its SUV attributes are more clear, multi-scene adaptability, even better than the traditional fuel SUV.
This is the complete state of BYD Tang DM-i.
First of all, the two-wheel drive BYD Tang DM-i cannot avoid the inherent shortcomings of the two-wheel drive car, especially after adding an additional battery pack, it is easier to slip compared to the four-wheel drive model on the wet and slippery road.
Secondly, as a medium-sized SUV, the center of gravity of the vehicle is further rear in the case of a full load of seven seats, and only providing a front-wheel drive mode will further worsen the lack of grip.
Judging from the information released, the BYD Tang DM-i four-wheel drive version of the model will set the rated output power of the rear motor at 200 kilowatts, which is also intentionally to make the driving performance of this car more in the direction of the rear drive main drive wheel.
Therefore, the dynamic texture of the four-wheel drive version of BYD Tang DM-i will be higher than the two-wheel drive version.
In my opinion, the BYD Tang DM-i four-wheel drive version of the model can expand more outdoor scenes. For example, towing a motorhome for travel.
The dm-i system's in-situ power generation and external output functions are completely the rhythm of a set of generators, which is a huge advantage for trailer-mounted RVs, and there is no need to match special generators. With the four-wheel drive system, you can go further away to enjoy poetry and far away.
