Driving experience: smooth, quiet, fuel-efficient
Although pure electricity is the future, but now let the author of such a fuel car enthusiast to buy a tram, there are indeed some can not accept, and at this stage to buy a tram in some car links is indeed inconvenient, so the light mixing system has both indicators to support, and low fuel consumption and endurance freedom, has become the author's first choice for the purchase of the second car.
As the head of the light mixing system, Toyota and Honda's light mixing system has always been favored by the majority of consumers, but the author who is accustomed to luxury brands really can't stand the great noise of Toyota and Honda light mixing system when the engine intervenes, and at the same price, the Japanese light mixed model will not be very high because of the high manufacturing cost, the battery life is also in dozens of kilometers, although the daily commuting is fuel-efficient, but it cannot be directly reduced to 0 fuel consumption, and at this time, BYD's DM-i system has become a hot spot for the author.
Since the listing of BYD Han last year, the author has attracted this medium and large car with a high value, and this time to test drive and join the DM-i system, byyard Han has made the author a "Di fan". Driving this BYD Han DM-i, the first feeling obtained is - quiet, compared to the noise of Toyota Honda, BYD Han DM - the sound is very small when the engine intervenes, unless the throttle opening is very large, otherwise the sound of engine intervention can not be heard, and the intervention is also very smooth, the power connection is smooth and fast.
Of course, as a light mix system, the acceleration ability will never be weak, we test drive this 121km version (there is also a 242km version), 0-100km/ h acceleration time of 7.9 seconds, although not fast, but daily driving is enough to meet the demand, if you want faster acceleration, you can choose the pure electric version or the subsequent DM-p version.
BYD's DM-i system has a total of four power modes, EV pure electric mode, HEV series mode, HEV parallel mode and engine direct drive mode, in this system, this Xiaoyun-plug hybrid 1.5T engine can achieve a minimum of 4.2L/100km fuel consumption (Ministry of Industry and Information Technology).
In EV pure electric mode, the pure electric mileage of this BYDHan DM-i can reach 121km and 242km, and the full-oil full-power cruising range can reach 1300km. When the throttle opening is large, the engine will choose to be parallel or series mode with the motor according to the power of the system, and when the power is high, the engine will cooperate with the pure electric drive system in parallel with the power drive mode to form a parallel mode, which is suitable for the mode with the highest demand for power.
When the power is not much, the engine will power the generator and battery through the series mode, and then drive the wheels by the motor, in this mode, the power will drop slightly, the daily driving has no impact, only under the big foot throttle can be felt, so the driver does not need to consider this at all.
The direct drive mode is mainly used for high-speed cruising, just like Toyota Honda's approach, in the high-speed cruising time the engine low speed for a long time is the most fuel-efficient way, and at this time the power consumption is also faster, in the high-speed cruising can be temporarily withdrawn, at this time, this BYD Han DM-i has become a 1.5T medium and large car, to achieve both fuel saving and power saving results.
As a DM-i model with a larger battery pack (18.3kWh for the 121km version and 37.5kWh for the 242km version), the BYDHan DM-i has been tuned by chassis master Hans Kirk, and the center of gravity has been reduced by 10mm, which greatly improves the handling of the car, and the heavier body and soft suspension, this BYDHAN DM-i has excellent vibration filtering, compared to the pure electric version and the plug-in version, the DM-i version of the suspension is tougher and more confident for bump filtration.
BYD DM-i system equipped with refrigerant direct cooling technology, can be through the top of the battery pack cold plate into the air conditioning system refrigerant to achieve rapid cooling of the battery pack, to ensure that the battery can also be in a safe working temperature when charging and discharging at high current, so that the heat exchange efficiency increased by 20%, in the colder areas, this system will not be too affected, can maintain a high mileage, this, Toyota and Honda have not done.
After a long period of test drive, the apparent fuel consumption of this BYD Han DM-i is 4.1L/100km, although it does not represent the minimum fuel consumption of this car, but it is enough to prove that the system has excellent performance in fuel saving, coupled with good sound insulation, as well as smooth action when the engine intervenes, so that the author completely likes this Han DM-i, and at the same time, as a performance car and high-horsepower pursuer, the author also has a greater curiosity about the DM-p system.
Jiong Jiong's eyes, coupled with a huge net, as the flagship sedan of the Dynasty series, BYD Han not only shows the domineering spirit of "Dragon Face", but also reflects a sense of movement, whether it is middle-aged or young people, they are greatly interested in this design.
"Dragon Scale" general net design, coupled with the surrounding chrome trim, as the top of the sale to nearly 300,000 independent brand medium and large cars, BYD Han DM-i design is exquisite enough to start this price, and the details are also very careful.
The dragon fins erected on both sides of the front of the car can enhance the sporty atmosphere, while the DM-i model has redesigned the side air curtains to make the airflow guidance more obvious, reducing wind resistance and energy consumption.
As a "longan", BYD Han DM-i's LED headlight group is very beautiful, although the DM-i headlight group is not as slender as the EV model in length, but the style is different, the DM-i model's headlights and net are more like an angry dragon, more powerful and domineering.
The 19-inch multi-spoke wheels, very retro flavor, and also reveal a luxurious atmosphere, the tire is the horse brand MC6, the size of 245/45 R19, the cost is very high, worthy of flagship positioning and pricing.
The rear of the car has changed more largely, mainly concentrated in the taillight part, other places still retain a more square silhouette, and the rear bumper sides also use a similar aerodynamic design, although it is only decorative, but it echoes with the front of the car.
The newly designed through-the-line taillights use elements of Chinese knots, and the more complex internal lines and strips not only increase manufacturing costs and difficulties, but also highlight BYD's technical and design strength.
Although the chassis increases the battery, but the volume of the trunk has no impact, the rear seat back does not support the reclining, so the expansion is limited, the official does not give a clear volume, but the internal lines are regular, about 450 liters up and down, which is a decent level, and daily use is enough.
As a flagship model, BYD Han DM-i has a powerful and domineering appearance, the concept of "Long Yan" is vividly highlighted, and this is also the author's favorite point of this car, DM-i model also made small changes to the details, improved the design, and further highlighted the charm of BYD design.
The two-spoke flat-bottom steering wheel is very advanced, allowing the author to find the happiness of the original W222 Mercedes-Benz S-Class, and the soft leather and full grip also make the steering wheel have an excellent texture.
The central control uses a large number of buttons and soft material design, surrounded cockpit plus simple operation buttons, this BYD Han DM-i is very friendly to users of all ages, and the workmanship is also satisfactory enough, the details are handled very well, especially the part of the trim panel splicing, tight seam, the trim panel uses solid wood and aluminum brushed material, the cost is quite high.
The 12.3-inch LCD dashboard has high clarity and has multiple theme modes that display the direction and mode of power drive, and can also adjust the air conditioning temperature, air volume and various multimedia content on the dashboard.
The 15.6-inch touch screen of the central control is the top priority in the interior, and if the materials and design are for older consumers, the car machine system is designed for young people. The built-in DiLink 4.0 system is also BYD's latest product, and the screen supports 90° rotation.
BYD Han DM-i is equipped with a DiPilot system, has 24 sensing elements, and adds functions such as highway lane keeping and emergency lane keeping assistance, and the entry-level DM-i model is equipped with a series of active safety features such as ACC, lane keeping, and active braking.
Space: Worthy of medium and large car positioning
The BYD Han DM-i has been fitted with a new Nappa leather one-piece sports seat, which does not look wide and soft than the seats of the previous DM models, but it is better wrapped, the padding is also soft, and it supports eight angles of electric adjustment.
Since the steering wheel supports four-way adjustment and the seat adjustment angle is large enough, passengers with a height of 190 cm can still have a comfortable driving posture and have a punch in the head.
With the front seat position unchanged, the rear legroom remains one punch and two fingers, the headroom remains four fingers, and the rear has independent air conditioning and air outlets.
Bydy Han DM-i is equipped with a 12-speaker Tanner audio, because of the good sound insulation and noise reduction level, so you can enjoy clear high-quality music during the drive, which is perfect for the author's ears who are accustomed to listening to noise reduction music.
Edit the summary
BYD Han DM-i as the flagship of the BYD sedan series of key works, whether it is the design or actual driving experience, as well as the most important aspect of fuel consumption, has not disappointed, and even surpassed the opponent of the joint venture brand in NVH, which is still very much liked by the author, luxurious and comfortable tuning and enough attractive price, coupled with tax-free card policy support, I believe that this BYD Han DM-i will be promising in the future.
At the beginning of this month, BYD officially announced the suspension of all pure fuel-powered models, only the production of hybrid and pure electric models, as the world's first discontinued fuel vehicle brand, BYD's courage and determination are admirable, but also proved BYD's confidence in the DM-i system, as the leader of its own brand, BYD is worthy of the trust of the majority of automobile consumers in terms of technology and quality.
