On May 23, we learned more information about a group of its new model Song Pro DM-i champion version from BYD's official office, in which the car adopts a new design inside and outside, and with the blessing of the DM-i power system, the acceleration to 100 kilometers is 7.9 seconds, the comprehensive range is 1090km, and the fuel consumption is 4.4L/100km. In addition, according to the official plan, the new car will be officially launched on May 25.
In terms of appearance, the new car is equipped with a new dragon scale hexagonal grille design, while the middle net adopts a dot matrix chrome strip, with the through-through chrome strip above, the overall is quite recognizable, and at the same time more stylish than the current model. At the same time, the official optimization of the shape of the air intakes on both sides, the overall is more exaggerated, adding a lot of sporty atmosphere to the new car.
On the side, the new car does not have too many differences from the current model, with a relatively straight waistline, chrome C-pillar plaque and large-sized wheels, which makes the new car look a certain fashionable atmosphere overall. In terms of body size, its length, width and height are 4738/1860/1710mm, and the wheelbase is 2712mm, of which the length has increased by 88mm.
In terms of the rear, relatively speaking, the new car has not changed much, and it is still equipped with through-type LED taillights, which makes the new car have a high sense of technology and recognition, and the black shield under the bumper enhances the layering of the car. In addition, the new car has added a new "Yuanshan Qing" exterior color scheme, which is clearly different from the current model.
In terms of interior, it is the first part of the new car to be exposed, but its design is basically the same as the current model. In terms of specifics, the floating rotating center control screen, full LCD instrument cluster, three-piece steering wheel, electronic gear shift lever, etc., are still equipped on the new car, but from the details point of view, the size of the new car's central control screen and instrument panel will increase accordingly. In addition, the new car adopts a new Jingyue rice interior color scheme, combined with orange stitching design, which enhances the interior with a bit of fashion.
In terms of configuration, the new car will be equipped with Apple NFC car key, DiLink 4.0 intelligent network connection system, 3D panoramic image, instrument navigation interconnection, intelligent pilot, traffic sign recognition, lane assist system, blind spot assistance and other functions, further improving the practicality and convenience of the car.
In terms of power, the new model will continue to be equipped with a DM-i superhybrid system consisting of a 1.5-liter engine + motor, with a maximum power of 110 horsepower, while a drive motor with a maximum power of 132kW or 145kW depending on the model. The biggest difference is that the new car will launch a pure electric range of 71km to meet the needs of users with higher demand for range, so it is expected that the new car will have 51km, 71km and 110km three pure electric range options. In addition, the comprehensive range of the new car is 1090km when full fuel and electricity, and 4.4L per 100km when it is lost.
The editor said: New design, higher configuration, coupled with longer battery life, it can be seen that the new car has a lot of improvement in product strength, and every time BYD launches the champion model, its price will be lower than the original, then combined with the starting price of the current model of 140,800 yuan, then it is expected that the starting price of the new car is likely to be between 11.98~12.98, and this price has actually entered the price range of the compact car of the joint venture brand. It can only be said that the arrival of new cars not only makes the joint venture competitors feel pressure, but also the self-owned brand models, although it still leaves a way for the opponents to live, but this road is somewhat getting narrower and narrower.
On the other hand, according to the latest sales list data, BYD Song series sold 33,007 units in April, a year-on-year increase of 31.5%, and the cumulative sales from January to April were 174422 units, a year-on-year increase of 76.5%, which has occupied the top position of the SUV sales list for many months, and there are many more than the Model Y. After that, let's see if after the new car is launched, will its sales exceed 40,000 monthly sales? And if it is really as said, the starting price of 135,000, will you be willing to choose?
