After three years, bydir's Song MAX DM family finally looked forward to the change and re-awarded the song MAX DM-i name. In the series of cars, the Song MAX DM-i has been slightly reduced to five versions, with a price range of 145,800-172,800 yuan, providing 51km and 105km pure electric endurance specifications respectively. Among them, the 105km version accounts for three models, and there is a trend of upgrading to the mainstream.
The 105km version of the introductory configuration honor type (seven seats) and the 51km version of the top equipped premium type (six seats) are overlapped in the range of 150,000 yuan, the price difference is only 3,000 yuan, everyone mediates between the two, and it is also possible to make a "chicken head and phoenix tail" dispute.
Before configuring analytics, take stock of the basic information. The exterior design of song MAX DM-i inherits the concept of "Dargon Face", and the representative matrix LED headlights, horizontal arc intake grille, and C-type aerodynamic structure have been continued. On this basis, detailed adjustments have been made, such as the cancellation of independent front fog lights, and the shape and proportion of the intake grille and the aerodynamic structure have also been optimized, and the sense of sharpness has increased unabated.
The most notable changes to the sides and rear of the car are focused on chrome trim, wordmarks, taillights and rear bar styles. Including: the area of the tail light body has been increased and unified into full red; the rear bar has been changed to a thicker and thicker same-color style. The above new elements amplify the atmosphere and sense of wholeness of technology.
Compared with the "decoration" adjustment of the appearance, the visual upgrade of the interior is almost worthy of the word "iteration". Although the general layout has not been overturned, it still retains the simple and easy-to-read "T" shape, but the color scheme and materials are more luxurious and modern. Whether it is the texture of the rich sense of design, the delicate leather ornament, the exquisite gear, or the 8+15.6-inch LCD screen with strong scientific and technological attributes (exclusive to the executive version), it has achieved progress with the times from the sensory atmosphere.
The Song MAX DM-i still offers six- and seven-seat layouts, presetting multi-directional options for consumers with diverse needs. The six-seat 2+2 layout is slightly administrative, enhancing the sense of spatial independence of the two rows of passengers, suitable for friends and business receptions, and positioning slightly higher than the seven seats. Seven-seaters are more friendly to pure family users who are "eager to get closer." Because the wheelbase and width are unchanged, the Song MAX DM-i is no different from the old model in terms of riding experience and cargo space.
In the core part, song MAX DM-i replaced the original 1.5T engine with a 1.5L self-priming engine that is more suitable for the plug-in and mixing system. The maximum power and peak torque of the new engine are 110Ps and 135N .m, respectively, and the book parameters are not as good as 1.5T, but after combining their respective motors, the 105km version and the 51km version of the 100 km acceleration can still achieve 7.9s and 8.5s, which is equivalent to the level of 2.5L self-priming engine, which shows that it is not a "reverse upgrade". This power should be completely problematic for urban mobility and outdoor travel.
The most important thing is that the maximum mileage given by the official is more than 1000km. Under the condition of smooth cruising, the long-distance travel of 700-800km can be completed without supplementation, which is almost the distance from Chengdu to Lijiang, which has cured the "anxiety disorder" that has plagued users for many years.

Configure the analysis
Among the five models currently on sale by Song MAX DM-i, the step-by-step price difference between each configuration ranges from 7,000 yuan to 10,000 yuan, which is alternate from the list. Some of the configurations actually have certain rules, such as the same seven-seat 51km luxury type and 105km honorable type, the price difference is 10,000 yuan, consumers in the measurement of demand and budget is easy to find ideas - to pure electric endurance, stronger power, add 10,000 yuan. The general structure is like this.
The same is the 51km version, the difference between the deluxe type and the premium type is 7,000 yuan, what is the difference between the two in addition to the seat layout? The Premium model includes active safety systems including lane departure warning, lane keeping assist, etc., as well as ACC adaptive cruise, built-in driving recorder, mobile phone wireless charging board, front seat electric adjustment, SD card interface, adaptive high beam light, interior atmosphere light, and integrated upgrade roof. The value of the above configuration is obviously beyond the scope of 7,000 yuan, from the important active safety system, to the wireless charging that enhances comfort and convenience, ACC adaptive cruise, the front seat, etc., it is difficult to reproduce it with the "self-installed" method.
The integrated upgrade roof is mentioned separately here, which looks like a suitcase on the outside, but in fact, the inner cavity and the skylight opening form an integrated structure, thus extending the height of the car. However, the height of the 1880mm car is no different from the full-size SUV, and it is best to pay attention to the basement. If there is no just need for seven seats, it is still worth it to exchange the above configuration for less than ten thousand yuan.
If battery life and power are necessary prerequisites, then only the 105km version equipped with a 145kW motor and an 18.3kWh battery can be removed. As mentioned in the opening paragraph, the 51km premium type and the 105km honorable type are the chicken head and phoenix tail dispute, the latter is 3000 yuan more expensive, in addition to the different seat layout, power, battery life is better, the latter's on-board function can only be equal to the 51km luxury type (specific reference to the previous paragraph). That is to say, the point of contention lies in the seat layout, power, endurance, and the choice of comfort and convenience dimensions. For example, friends who have a budget anchor of 150,000 and have a strong need for seven seats and power at the same time can only hold hands with the 105km honor type.
If the budget conditions are relaxed by one or two thousand, the 105km flagship type of 162,800 yuan is a very suitable choice, because: under the premise of maintaining high power and high endurance, the active safety system, ACC adaptive cruise, front-end electric action, adaptive far and near lights, wireless charging board, etc. are not absent, and the on-board configuration is only one or two less than the 51km premium type.
Compared with the 105km executive version of 10,000 yuan higher, the latter has an 8+15.6-inch LCD screen, interior atmosphere lights, air purifiers, integrated upgrade roof, and electric trunk (with induction function). In addition to the electric tailgate, most of the above equipment is related to the "enjoyment" configuration, not necessary, and this 10,000 yuan is recommended to save.
In short: the budget is controlled at 150,000 yuan, I recommend the 51km premium type; if the purse allows another 10,000 yuan, it will directly go to the 105km flagship type of 162,800 yuan. Both versions can control the word "cost performance" just right.
brief summary
In the past year, BYD's sales of new energy passenger cars once approached the mark of 600,000 units, and won the monthly sales championship of new energy vehicles for seven consecutive times, laying an unshakable foundation for 22 years of all-dimensional bloom. The decision to officially stop selling fuel vehicles (since March this year) to devote themselves to the field of new energy has also allowed the brand to further solidify its own advantages and lock the initiative of the long-term market.
In the rich product line of the BYD Dynasty series, in addition to the mainstream Sedan and SUV car series, it seems that only Song MAX DM-i is a unique show when it comes to the MPV that is "rooted in Miao Hong". After all, the EV Series D1 is designed to be more like a wheelbase hyperclassical Hatchback. The pursuit of orthodox MPV bloodline, but also song MAX.
