BYD Song PLUS DM-i sales have surpassed the Haval H6 for two consecutive months. Everyone knows that in the SUV market, Haval H6 is almost the first to thunder, and the product strength and word of mouth have been relatively stable. But perhaps it did not expect that the heat of the plug-and-mix market is so high, even if it is a winning general in the fuel SUV industry, it cannot guarantee its own status, is it because everyone is more interested in BYD DM-i's power loss fuel consumption?
BYD Song PLUS DM-i can be said to be a recent "upstart", because the identity of the plug-in model, in addition to enjoying the green card policy, the purchase tax exemption is very attractive to most consumers.

Although the starting price is higher than that of the domestic fuel SUV of the same level, it can meet the needs of young consumers in terms of space and power. The 1.5T engine version used and the hybrid system composed of the motor can achieve an acceleration of 5.9 seconds/100 km at the fastest. However, the main impression it leaves on everyone is still fuel saving, so is it really as provincial as everyone imagines? Compared with the Haval H6, who saves more money, the next is to compare from the three aspects of insurance, maintenance and energy consumption.
