With the continuous improvement of SALES of BYD's DM-i series, the official has continued to enrich the entire series of products in the near future, and after the improvement of sedans and SUVs, BYD has recently targeted its only MPV model for the general market. On January 15, BYD Song MAX DM-i model officially opened pre-sale, the pre-sale price of new cars is 146,800-17.38 million yuan, and a total of 5 models are launched in the whole series, equipped with one power and provide two kinds of endurance.
At the same time, the official also launched 24 periods of 0 interest, 3,000 yuan replacement subsidy, lifetime free OTA system upgrades, lifetime free basic traffic services and other pre-sale rights. In addition, the official also launched the "upgraded roof" model for the first time to meet the needs of users for space in different scenarios. For reference, bydir Song MAX is priced at 94,800-124,800 yuan.
In terms of appearance, the new car adopts the latest family design language, compared to the Song MAX mainly in the front face, headlights and other details of the position to make adjustments, the overall look is more spirited. You know, at the beginning, Song MAX was a test model used by BYD as a longyan design, and the original design was not inferior.
In terms of the side, the new car as a whole has not changed much, the main difference is that the executive version of the top version of the model adopts the "upgraded roof" design, thereby improving the interior space. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new car are 4710/1810/1690 (1880) mm, and the wheelbase is 2785 mm, which is consistent with the Song MAX except for the top version. But then again, if the roof had been equipped with an extended suitcase, I think it would have been more practical.
In terms of the rear, the new car still adopts the design of the through-type taillights, which brings a certain sense of technology and recognition as a whole, and the through-type chrome trim also brings a sense of refinement. The difference is that it eliminates the chrome trim under the taillights and is equipped with the DM-i exclusive logo in the lower left.
In terms of the car, in fact, the whole is not too surprising, the overall and fuel version of the model has not changed much, the central control position of the suspension rotation of the central control screen is still very recognizable. In terms of details, the new car has changed from a mechanical shift lever to an electronic shift lever, while the function buttons in the shift area have been optimized and an LCD dashboard has been added, which has improved the scientific and technological atmosphere in the car. In terms of seats, the new car will be the larger difference, the top model will adopt a 6-seat layout, while other models will have a 2+3+2 7-seat layout as standard, and the two models with 105km can choose a 6-seat layout. This point in the fuel version of the model, is the full range of 6-seater and 7-seat two layouts to choose from.
In terms of configuration, the new car will be equipped with keyless entry, one-key start, 360-degree panoramic image, DiLink 4.0 intelligent network system, on-board Bluetooth, automatic parking, tire pressure display, 6 airbags and other technologies and safety configurations as standard. Except for the two low-endurance models, the rest are equipped with electric tailgates, electric adjustment of co-driver seats, ACC full-speed domain adaptive cruise, automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, lane keeping assist and other functions.
In terms of power, it is the biggest change in the new car, which is equipped with a plug-in hybrid system composed of a 1.5L engine and an electric motor, of which the maximum power of the engine is 110 horsepower, and it is equipped with a blade battery of 8.3kWh and 18.3kWh, corresponding to the NEDC endurance of 51km and 105km respectively.
As soon as the pre-price came out, many people called "good guys", this price is more than 50% more expensive than the price of the fuel version of Song MAX, so in addition to the change in power, what other aspects have changed? For reference, we selected the Song MAX flagship model priced at 124,800 yuan and the 51km premium model with a pre-priced price of 153,800 yuan to make a comparison, the difference between the two is that the new car has added 3 new driving modes, automatic parking, wireless charging of the front mobile phone, electric seat for the co-pilot, and monochrome mood lights in the car.
At the same time, compared to the fuel version, it is missing: panoramic sunroof, rear cup holder, from 9 speakers to 6 speakers, automatic folding of rearview mirrors/electric folding, front makeup mirror lighting, car air purifier.
The editor said: It is undeniable that BYD has added a DM-i hybrid system for Song MAX this time, which undoubtedly allows users to have a better experience. However, to know that Song MAX has always been a tepid model in the brand, there is a certain gap between sales and other models, originally joined the DM-i hybrid system, in fact, it is still expected to compete with other models, but a large price increase I believe will make many consumers hesitate.
In addition, in the same class, there is actually a strong opponent of Trumpchi M6, Trumpchi M6 in the current monthly average sales of nearly 10,000 vehicles, and the new low-end model has been able to buy the opponent's top model, the competitiveness is not appropriate, not to mention that this is bydilised at present for the majority of users to sell MPV models, in terms of price should indeed be more close to the people. Next, I don't know if BYD will make adjustments in the listing price after hearing the voice of users, and we also expect how much sales will increase in sales of new cars after joining the DM-i hybrid system.
