In terms of design, the second-generation Song Pro DM-i has been redressed with the latest dragon aesthetic design style of Dynasty Network. The chrome trim strip connecting the left and right headlights has become thicker, enhancing the layering of the front face. The grille at the front bumper of the new car is integrated with the air ducts on both sides, making the lines sharper and the sportier feeling stronger.
The most obvious change on the side is that the classic silver D-pillar is embellished with black lines, which looks more refined. In terms of the rear, the second-generation Song Pro DM-i has replaced the "build your dreams" logo under the original taillights with "BYD", which is also the regular operation of BYD's new cars recently. The length, width and height of the new car are 4735×1860×1710 mm, and the wheelbase is 2712 mm.
The interior of the second-generation Song Pro DM-i also adopts the latest style of Dynasty.com, equipped with through-type black trim, the full LCD instrument is embedded design, and the shape of the air conditioning outlet and sub-instrument panel area have changed, giving people a more atmospheric and stable feeling. At the same time, the new car is equipped with a steering wheel that is almost identical to that of the Song L DM-i.
In terms of configuration, the new car has a large-size central control screen, electric adjustment of the main and passenger seats, a 50w wireless charging pad, L2 driver assistance system, and a panoramic sunroof.
The second-generation Song Pro DM-i will also use the fifth-generation DM hybrid technology, equipped with a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine with a maximum power of 74kW, an electric motor with a maximum power of 120kW, and a pure electric range of 75km and 115km in CLTC mode, matched with lithium iron phosphate blade batteries.

Hiace IP has added new members
Although it is also BYD's A-class SUV, the Hiace 05DM-i is still significantly different from the second-generation Song Pro DM-i in terms of design. It adopts the design concept of "marine aesthetics", which can give people a sense of agility and power. The wide front grille and the chrome trim arranged on both sides are still very futuristic.
On the side, the new car has a floating roof design. The windows are embellished with silver metal trim around the perimeter to give the side a more refined look. The sculpted waistline and skirt line make the body look more fluid. In terms of dimensions, the length, width and height of the Hiace 05DM-i are 4710/1880/1720mm, and the wheelbase is 2712mm. Like the second-generation Song Pro DM-i, the rear of the Hiace 05DM-i also has continuous taillights and a "BYD" logo design. It's just that the internal structure of the taillights on both sides is more complex, and it is more recognizable when lit.
In terms of interior design, the wrap-around marine rhythm cockpit combines rich marine elements with dark interiors to create an atmospheric and calm atmosphere to meet the diversified needs of users. In terms of configuration, it also has a series of configurations such as DiLink intelligent cockpit, DiPilot intelligent driving assistance system, full-scene digital key and original ETC.
In terms of power, Hiace 05DM-i will be equipped with BYD's fifth-generation DM technology, using a plug-in hybrid dedicated 1.5L engine, EHS electric hybrid system and plug-in hybrid special power blade battery, of which the maximum engine power is 74 kilowatts, the maximum power of the drive motor is 120 kilowatts, and the power parameters are basically the same as those of the second-generation Song Pro DM-i.
