Nowadays, in the situation of double rise in oil prices and new energy, what will be the most important thing to buy a home MPV? More space, a more comfortable ride, or a more cost-effective, low fuel consumption performance? In the face of these prerequisites, if there is a more affordable price, this may be the "ideal MPV" for most family cars. So is there such a car? BYD gave us an answer.
BYD adheres to the strategic layout of "two-pronged approach" in DM plug-in and mixing and EV pure electricity, making its new energy market continue to exert its strength. By the first quarter of this year, BYD's cumulative sales of plug-in hybrid passenger cars 141514 new cars, an increase of 857.40% over the same period last year, while the cumulative sales of pure electric passenger cars reached 143223 units, an increase of 271.05% over the same period last year, and both obtained good market heat.
There is no doubt that in today's new energy vehicle market, BYD DM-i plug-in hybrid models are the leaders in the market, such as Song PLUS DM-i, Song Pro DM-i, Qin PLUS DM-i and other models, which are the sales kings of various market segments. Therefore, in January this year, BYD released the Song MAX DM-i model. For ordinary home users, the DM-i model can not only be green card, but also has no high fuel consumption and over 1000 km endurance to make travel no longer anxious, which is the best and most realistic choice at the moment.
As far as the new car is concerned, the BYD Song MAX DM-i has not changed much in appearance, continuing the BYD family-style "Dynasty Aesthetics Dragon face" design language. However, it also has two different exterior shapes, one is the regular version, and the other is the redesigned "upgraded roof" version of the shape.
As a model of the Dynasty series, BYD Song MAX DM-i still uses the name of their respective dynasties as the central logo of the front and tail of the car, and the overall style is more pragmatic and very attractive. The Song MAX DM-i is more like a year-old model change, and only the green card and the DM-i logo in the lower left corner of the tail highlight its distinctive identity.
In terms of body size, the length, width and height are 4710mm, 1810mm, 1690 (1880) mm, and the wheelbase is 2785mm. The special feature of the "upgraded roof" is that it adds a suitcase to the roof of the regular version of the model. The existence of this roof trunk is not the external space we previously recognized, in fact, it is connected to the space inside the car, so the height of different versions of models is different.
Song MAX DM-i offers "2+3+2" and "2+2+2" layout options to meet the needs of different scenes. Therefore, although the height of song MAX's car is only 1680mm, its height has reached 1880mm after the elevation expansion. As a result, we have more longitudinal space in the carriage.
The roof part of the car has been designed to add a circle of lighting elements, there is a sense of atmosphere in the aircraft cabin, and the transparent head space after the elevation also allows the driver and occupants to feel the comfort brought by the journey. In terms of design and materials, Song MAX DM-i also uses a lot of thought.
Song MAX DM-i adopts an interior similar to gradient colors, presenting a warmer home style, and the embellishments in the details are not lacking in refinement. On the basis of continuing the overall design of the original Model Song MAX, it is like thicker materials, richer configurations, and comfortable riding space.
We test drive the top model, so the large size of the floating rotatable screen and the full LCD instrument are also not absent, the 15.6-inch car machine display is equipped with the latest DiLinK 4.0 (4G) intelligent network system, holographic transparent image system and the exaggerated head space brought by the "upgraded roof" design, which is an unprecedented experience brought to us by this interior. Thinking back to the price range of 14.58-17.28 million, it seems that asking for more seems to be too much.
In the shift zone below the center console, friends who are familiar with BYD will certainly not be unfamiliar. This area is officially known as the heart of BYD-Heart, and most of BYD's models have now popularized this design. Functions such as one-button activation, switching driving modes, and daily air conditioning and driver assistance functions are placed in this area.
4.4L of fuel loss? BYD DM-i is very strong
Song MAX DM-i This DM-i dm-i system is composed of core components such as the 43.04% thermal efficiency of The Snap Cloud-Plug-In Hybrid 1.5L High Efficiency Engine, the EHS Electromix System and the DM-i Special Power Blade Battery, and has two versions of pure electric cruising range of 51 km and 105 km.
The engine has a maximum power of 110 hp, a maximum torque of 135 Nm, and a permanent magnet synchronous motor with a maximum power of 145 kW, which matches the E-CVT gearbox. Natural Song MAX DM-i will be more inclined to the characteristics of family cars, mainly electric drive, and then the engine is charged efficiently, timely auxiliary drive, to achieve high efficiency operation under daily full working conditions, compared with the traditional PHEV model long-distance fuel consumption is more economic advantages. There is a saying that BYD "DM-i is really fragrant".
Song MAX DM-i endurance performance is already quite outstanding in terms of hybrid models, and the fuel consumption level in the case of power loss is very prominent, of which the 51km cruising range model is 4.4L/100km, the 105km cruising range model is 4.5L/100km, and the ultra-long endurance of 1090km.
With a variety of driving modes, its strong acceleration compared to fuel consumption performance, I personally think that the driving experience is more memorable. In particular, the power output, at the beginning of the start is the use of pure electric mode, so the smoothness can be used silky. At the 80km/h medium-high speed state, the throttle setting at this time is also very heeled, and how much to step on. Driving habits are more aggressive can be adjusted to the mode of movement, then the power output can be described as channeling, the most appropriate.
It is precisely because of the blessing of the motor that the whole vehicle, whether dynamic or static, has a better performance in noise control. Unless a strong acceleration is carried out, so that there will be more obvious engine noise, the presence of the engine and whether it is in operation are basically not felt.
However, in terms of tire noise, it will be amplified, especially at high speeds, if you are more concerned about comfort, you can choose to replace the main silent tires in the later stage, I believe it can bring about great changes. In terms of shock absorption, it is undeniable that it is a comfortable adjustment, but due to the setting of the rear suspension of the torque beam, there will still be a more obvious impact when passing the speed reduction belt and the ditch. Compared to the excellent performance of its powertrain, the chassis performance is much flatter.
National public opinion car: song MAX DM-i super dads are the best choice!
In the current market environment, for BYD Song MAX DM-i, it is like a good product has met a good era. With low fuel consumption and the advantages of green cards and free purchase tax, it is no longer a problem to buy a "good value" household MPV. Perhaps, this is also the core competitiveness of Song MAX DM-i, superimposed on the current consumer enthusiasm for new energy vehicles, I believe that consumers will continue to pay for Song MAX DM-i, BYD, and Song MAX DM-i hot sales can also be expected.
