Although BYD has become the sales champion in the Chinese auto market and will achieve annual sales of more than 3 million vehicles in 2023, it has not slowed down the pace of launching new models. In order to further cultivate the market segment and better meet the diversified needs of consumers, BYD has launched a new model BYD Song L DM-i. The new car is sold on Dynasty.com to fill the product gap between Song Pro DM-i and Tang DM-i. So, which model of this new car that has a high degree of attention in the market is the most worth choosing? This issue of "Car Buying Guide" will explain it in detail.

The above manufacturer's suggested price only represents the price on August 1, 2024. If there is any change, please refer to the official website

On July 25, BYD Song L DM-i was officially launched, with a total of 5 models launched, with a manufacturer's suggested price of 135,800-175,800 yuan. The new car is equipped with BYD's fifth-generation DM technology, with a maximum comprehensive range of 1,500km. Officials said that ordering a new car can enjoy 6 major listing rights including finance, renewal, smart connection, warranty, charging, and extended warranty services (please consult local dealers for details).

1. Model Description

In terms of appearance, the front face of the new car continues the grandeur and majesty of the "Dragon Face". The side lines are three-dimensional and staggered, and the "three-stage concave ribs" + "Panlong shield wheel eyebrows" bring a stronger sense of hierarchy and power. The D-pillar design of the body is simple, and the lower end is blackened to create a visual effect of the roof floating, which enhances the sportiness and fashion sense of the whole vehicle. The tail shape is full, with soft lines and delicate interspersed "new streamer tail lights", giving people a grand and smart visual effect. The rear spoiler optimizes the tail airflow and effectively reduces the wind resistance coefficient of the whole vehicle.

The new car offers two types of wheel rims to choose from, namely 19-inch two-tone dragon claw aluminum alloy wheels and 19-inch low drag dragon scale aluminum alloy wheels, both matched with 235/50 R19 tires.

In terms of body color, the new car offers 4 colors to choose from, namely, Ice Amber Green, Fatui Blue, Smoky Crystal Gray and Runyu White. Among them, Fatui Blue and Smoky Crystal Gray are more outstanding in appearance, so consumers can give priority to them.

In terms of interior design, the new car cleverly combines many design elements such as Song Dynasty ceramics and landscape courtyards with modern technologies such as smart cockpits and smart driving, while taking into account Chinese cultural elements and a sense of technology. The overall design draws on the spatial layout, light and shade treatment, and color matching of courtyard design. The interior color of Jinsha pottery is taken from the color of the surface when the pottery is made. The multi-function steering wheel is designed with the Chinese knot as the center, bringing a younger and more modern sensory experience through a simple and deep curved surface.

In terms of power, the BYD Song L DM-i is equipped with a plug-in hybrid system. Among them, the 1.5L naturally aspirated engine has a maximum power of 74kW, the total power of the electric motor is 160kW, and the total torque of the electric motor is 260N·m. It is matched with an E-CVT continuously variable transmission. In terms of battery packs, the new car offers three options: 12.9kWh lithium iron phosphate battery (CLTC pure electric range 75km), 18.3kWh lithium iron phosphate battery (CLTC pure electric range 112km) and 26.6kWh lithium iron phosphate battery (CLTC pure electric range 160km).

2. Model configuration highlights and recommendations

As the entry-level model of BYD Song L DM-i, the manufacturer's suggested price of the 75km leading model is 135,800 yuan. In terms of configuration, it is equipped with a full LCD instrument panel, automatic air conditioning, an open panoramic sunroof, 360-degree panoramic imaging, and a front center airbag. Although it can meet basic needs, it is not recommended because of obvious configuration deficiencies in active safety and driving functions.

3. Analysis of configuration differences of recommended models

In terms of comprehensive configuration and price, the editor recommends the 112km Surpass model with a manufacturer's suggested price of 155,800 yuan. Although the price is 10,000 yuan higher than the model with the lower configuration, it has a significant improvement in configuration level, adding active safety, assisted driving and comfort configurations, such as lane change assistance, DiPilot assisted driving system, electric trunk, adaptive high and low beam, front seat heating/ventilation function, etc. The addition of the above configuration makes daily car use more convenient and safer, which can be said to be very cost-effective.

The higher-level model has more configurations than the recommended model, such as suspension softness and hardness adjustment, automatic anti-glare rearview mirror, on-board air purifier, air quality monitoring, etc., and the CLTC pure electric range has also increased by 48km. However, spending an extra 10,000 yuan for some icing on the cake configurations and a slight increase in pure electric range is not cost-effective.

On the whole, if you are paying attention to the BYD Song L DM-i, then the 112km surpassing model with a manufacturer's suggested retail price of 155,800 yuan is worth giving priority to.
