Does the Song Plus DM-i have a cigarette lighter?
2 Answers
The Song Plus DM-i has a cigarette lighter. Disadvantages of the Song Plus DM-i: The cigarette lighter is controlled by the key, making it inconvenient to charge or listen to music when the car is parked. Opening the trunk does not trigger the alarm. The accelerator pedal is stiff, gear shifting is not smooth, and the fuel gauge warning light comes on too early. The engine noise is slightly loud, and the seat belt buckle stays in a low position. Introduction to DM-i technology: The core components of BYD's DM-i Super Hybrid Technology are the Xiaoyun plug-in hybrid-specific engines, which come in two different versions. The 1.5L engine is mainly used in the Qin PLUS and Song PLUS, while the 1.5T turbocharged engine is used in the larger Tang DM-i model.
As someone who has driven the Song PLUS DMi, I must say it does have that cigarette lighter socket, conveniently located near the front center armrest. I often use it to plug in a phone charger or small electronic devices, saving me from carrying around a bunch of power banks. As a hybrid, the Song PLUS DMi comes standard with this 12V power outlet, thoughtfully designed to avoid overheating issues common in older cars. It's especially useful on long trips, providing uninterrupted power to navigation devices. I'd recommend new owners invest in a quality adapter to prevent device damage. Also, if the seat heating isn't working properly, it might be worth checking the electrical components. All in all, having a cigarette lighter socket adds significant flexibility to daily driving and is definitely worth utilizing.
