cost-effectiveness has always been a topic we cannot avoid when buying a car, especially a family car. it must meet the needs of the whole family, while also ensuring low operating costs and excellent reliability. so in this issue, we selected two very popular plug-in hybrid suvs in the 100,000-level price range, namely the wuling starlight s plug-in hybrid version 130km pilot model and the byd song pro dm-i honor version 71km pilot model. both cars are called pilot models and the guide price is 109,800 yuan. let's take a look at which car is more cost-effective and more suitable for home use.

i won’t say much about the styling. the appearance of wuling starlight s is more like that of a new energy vehicle, with a closed grille shape, while byd song pro still has the family-style dragon-like front face, which is also very recognizable. just choose the design you like, and let’s let the data speak for itself.

the length, width and height of the wuling starlight s are 4745/1890/1680mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2800mm. the length, width and height of the byd song pro are 4738/1860/1710mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2712mm. it can be seen that the wuling starlight s has certain advantages in other dimensions except height, but the gap is not particularly large.

in terms of intelligence, wuling xingguang s is equipped with 8.8-inch full lcd instrument + 15.6-inch central control screen, while byd song pro uses 8.8-inch full lcd instrument + 10.1-inch central control screen. in terms of size, wuling xingguang s wins. as for functions, both cars support 4g car networking, and the control functions of voice interaction are similar. they also support dual-zone recognition of the driver and the co-driver and continuous voice dialogue. some other differences are listed in the table below for you to compare.

as for other aspects of the interior, the two cars have their own merits in design. just choose the one you like and i will not comment on it here. there is not much difference in the seat functions of the two cars. only the driver's seat supports electric adjustment. wuling starlight s supports optional heating and ventilation functions for the front seats, which is conducive to improving comfort.

in addition, the front row of wuling starlight s has more charging ports and functions of exterior rearview mirrors and wipers. byd song pro supports karaoke in the car, and the driver and co-driver's makeup mirrors are also equipped with lights. in addition, its dual-zone automatic air conditioning and air quality monitoring system are also better than the single-zone automatic air conditioning of wuling starlight s. however, byd song pro lacks a very critical configuration, that is, the side safety airbags, which means that it cannot provide thoughtful protection for the front and rear passengers in a side collision, which is very wrong.

finally, let's take a look at the driving control. both cars are equipped with their own plug-in hybrid systems. they both use a 1.5l naturally aspirated engine + a front single motor + e-cvt combination. in terms of power data, the byd song pro has a larger engine power, and the wuling starlight s has a larger drive motor power, but in terms of pure electric endurance, the wuling starlight s has a larger battery capacity and has a longer pure electric endurance mileage. in addition, the wuling starlight's fast charging power is greater, the energy replenishment is more efficient, and it also has better fuel consumption performance and zero-to-hundred acceleration results. it can be said that in terms of power endurance, the wuling starlight s has a more obvious advantage.

after comprehensive comparison, the two cars are very similar in many aspects, but the emphasis on certain configurations may be different. personally, i feel that among the two configurations of the same price, wuling starlight s has a greater advantage. perhaps it is because of its latecomer advantage. it is obviously better in configuration and power endurance. so at this price, would you choose it?
