Is the BYD D1 a Premium or Express Service Vehicle?
3 Answers
BYD D1 is a premium service vehicle. In terms of driving and riding comfort: For driver comfort, the D1 features highly customized super seats and a mobile document bag, helping to reduce fatigue during long driving hours. Rear seat features: The D1's rear seats are equipped with air vents and heated seats. Passengers can remotely control the rear seat heating and air conditioning via the app after booking, which is very convenient. Additionally, there is a large screen mounted behind the front seats that displays trip information, controls air conditioning temperature, and includes built-in entertainment content from Didi's Lili Orange Sea.
I've driven the BYD D1 as a ride-hailing driver. It's mainly assigned to the premium service, not the standard ride type. Premium rides are slightly more expensive than regular rides, but passengers enjoy better comfort, such as a spacious interior, ample rear legroom, and easy entry/exit—especially suitable for family or business trips. For us drivers, this car is great to drive. Being fully electric, charging is cheap, costing only a few dollars a day, much more economical than gas cars. Additionally, it was co-developed by BYD and DiDi specifically for ride-hailing, with features like sliding rear doors designed for practicality, reducing safety risks from opening doors. Although premium rides may have fewer orders than standard rides, the higher fares provide more stable income, and positive passenger reviews make it easier to earn bonuses. In short, if you want to drive for ride-hailing, I recommend choosing this kind of premium car—better experience and eco-friendly.
As a frequent DiDi user and office worker, I've ridden in many BYD D1s, which are indeed part of the Premium service, quite different from the Express cars. Premium cars cost more but offer a significantly more comfortable experience with spacious interiors, soft seats, excellent sound insulation, and a quiet ride that doesn't tire you even on long trips. Express cars are more basic, with smaller models, while the BYD D1, specifically designed for ride-hailing, is perfect for those who value experience. I find its design thoughtful, like the independent rear AC vents that cool quickly in summer, allowing passengers to adjust the temperature, elevating the service level. Of course, its electric nature also helps save money, with low energy consumption and emissions, making it eco-friendly. As someone who values quality of life, I think the extra cost for Premium is worth it. It's also worth mentioning that on the DiDi platform, these cars are prioritized for Premium service, ensuring high service standards and a more reliable trip. Next time you book a ride, try the Premium option and experience the BYD D1 to see the difference for yourself.
