What brand is the transmission of the BYD Song?
2 Answers
The transmission of the BYD Song is a brand independently developed by BYD. The vehicle is equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission and a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission. The transmission is a mechanism used to alter the speed and torque from the engine, capable of fixing or changing the gear ratio between the output and input shafts in steps. It consists of a transmission mechanism and a control mechanism. The BYD Song is a compact SUV with dimensions of 4600mm in length, 1830mm in width, and 1700mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2660mm. Externally, the vehicle adopts the DragonFace family design language, featuring a large grille with horizontal chrome decorations that include recessed treatments, enhancing the overall horizontal visual appeal of the car.
I drive a BYD Song PLUS DM-i myself, and it's been almost a year since I got it. To be honest, this car doesn't have a traditional transmission at all. The hybrid version uses BYD's self-developed EHS hybrid system. This system directly drives the wheels through the electric motor, with the engine only responsible for generating electricity or occasionally driving directly, completely avoiding gear-shifting jerks. It drives as smoothly as an electric car normally, with particularly linear acceleration. My neighbor bought the fuel-powered version of the old Song, which did use a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission, but BYD has long since fully transitioned to hybrid technology. Now the dealerships mainly promote the DM-i version, with fuel consumption as low as around 4 liters, which is much more economical than fuel-powered cars.
