"For every 5 new energy vehicles sold in the world, there is 1 BYD." Although there are various doubts, we have to admit that BYD is indeed the leader of the new energy era.
In the first half of this year, BYD continued to lead the sales list of China's auto market with 1,607,100 units, a year-on-year increase of 28.8%, surpassing the second place Volkswagen (1,266,600 units) by 340,500 units. Now, BYD's three best-selling models have ushered in a facelift, with the blessing of new appearance and new technology, can it still have the strength to become a "hot model"?
比亚迪宋PLUS DM-i
- Equipped with DM5.0 fifth-generation hybrid technology
On July 25, the 2025 Song PLUS DM-i and Song L DM-i were launched in Longting Park, Kaifeng, Henan Province, with five models each, providing three pure electric ranges of 75km, 112km and 160km respectively, with prices ranging from 135,800 to 175,800 yuan.
In terms of appearance, the Song PLUS DM-i has fine-tuned the headlight cluster, and the "BUILD YOUR DREAMS" logo at the rear of the car has been replaced with a more concise "BYD" illuminated LOGO, and other aspects have not changed much.
Compared with the old model, the front face design of the original "Dragon Face" of the 2021 model year is more concise and elegant, and the current front face lines are too complex and cumbersome, and the exterior design has a feeling of overexertion.
The biggest highlight of the 2025 Song PLUS DM-i is that it is equipped with DM5.0 fifth-generation hybrid technology. The fuel consumption is 3.9L (4.98L under WLTC mode) under NEDC mode, and the comprehensive cruising range is 1500km with full fuel and full charge. In addition, the charging efficiency has also been greatly improved, and the charging time from 30% to 80% has been shortened to 17 minutes.
BYD Seal 07 DM-i
- Renamed, equipped with DM5.0 fifth-generation hybrid technology
The Seal 07 DM-i is actually a facelifted version of the Seal DM-i, which is expected to hit the market in September this year. The new car is positioned as a mid-size sedan, with a length, width and height of 4980/1890/1495mm and a wheelbase of 2900mm, which is exactly the same as the current model Seal DM-i. In terms of exterior and interior, there are few changes except for minor adjustments to details such as the rear logo.
The biggest highlight of the Seal 07 DM-i is that it is equipped with BYD DM5.0 fifth-generation hybrid technology. It is available in two power options: 1.5L plug-in hybrid and 1.5T plug-in hybrid. The 1.5-liter engine has a maximum output of 74 kW and is equipped with a 160 kW motor. The 1.5-liter engine has a maximum output of 115 kW and is equipped with a 200 kW motor. According to official data, the BYD Seal 07 DM-i has a minimum fuel consumption of 4.2L/100km.
BYD Seagull
——The price has risen, and some configurations have been upgraded
The 2025 Seagull is expected to be launched on August 8, and the new BYD Seagull has not changed much in terms of exterior and interior design, mainly reflected in the upgrade and optimization of functional configurations. The wheels have been upgraded, and the mid-spec model is equipped with power seats, automatic air conditioning, and useful features such as a 360-degree panoramic view.
In terms of power, the 2025 Seagull will continue to use a single-motor system with a maximum power of 55kW and a maximum torque of 135Nm·m, and is available in two ranged versions of 305km and 405km. Consistent with the current model.
It is reported that the price range of the 2025 Seagull merchant withholding and picking up the car is 72,000 yuan to 87,000 yuan, which is higher than the price of the current model. At present, the old models are stepping up the inventory, most of the 4S stores generally have a discount of about 7000, and it is more cost-effective to buy the old models now.
summary
BYD's three models have received facelifts, but except for the DM5.0 fifth-generation hybrid technology that brings better fuel consumption, there has not been much improvement in other aspects. If the terminal discount is larger, it is more appropriate to buy a cash model. Nowadays, BYD's models are becoming more and more, and the overly rich product line gives people a sense of chaos and disorder.
