Song is the Song, a new energy compact SUV. Taking the 2021 BYD Song as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4600mm, width 1830mm, height 1700mm, wheelbase 2660mm, fuel tank capacity 63l, curb weight 1630kg. The 2021 BYD Song has a front suspension of MacPherson independent suspension and a rear suspension of multi-link independent suspension. It is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, with a maximum horsepower of 160PS, maximum power of 118kW, maximum torque of 245Nm, and is paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.

I was also curious about the many cars with the character 'Song' on their rear before, but later found out it's the SUV model from BYD's Dynasty series. is quite interesting, naming their cars after Chinese dynasties. The current common models in the Song series are the Song Pro and Song Plus, available in both fuel and new energy versions. The Song Plus DM-i hybrid is particularly popular, capable of traveling over a thousand kilometers on a full charge and tank, making it ideal for family commuting. The space is indeed practical, with the back seat comfortably fitting three adults, and the trunk can even accommodate a stroller and camping gear. Domestic cars have really become more and more reliable in recent years.

If you've ever checked the new energy vehicle rankings, you must have seen the BYD Song on the list. What really impressed me about this car is its quick acceleration - the hybrid version is exceptionally quiet when the electric motor kicks in, leaving gasoline cars in the dust at traffic lights. The fuel consumption is indeed excellently controlled; my colleague's Song DM-i only consumes slightly over 4L per 100km for urban commuting. It's also generously equipped with safety features including airbags and lane keeping, with the top trim even offering ventilated and heated seats. When taking kids for weekend outings, the hybrid mode handles slopes effortlessly, and with the growing charging station coverage, it's become even more worry-free.

Many moms around me have chosen the Song as their family car, mainly for its flexible space. The rear seats can be completely folded flat, and last time I helped my best friend move, we managed to fit five or six large storage boxes. The infotainment system is very user-friendly for parents, with voice control for opening the sunroof and adjusting the temperature being particularly practical. The charging ports are conveniently located in the front armrest box and the rear, so kids don't have to squeeze in to charge. The child safety seat latches snap into place with just a push, much easier than some Japanese models. Right now, in our residential parking lot alone, I know of at least four Songs—it's definitely popular.

From a fashion perspective, the design of the Song is quite distinctive. The full-width taillights offer ultra-high recognition at night, and the Dragon Face front grille makes it instantly recognizable in traffic. Most buyers are young families in their 30s, and the car owner communities often organize modification meetups—just swapping the rims or adding a roof box gives it a particularly stylish vibe. The new Glacier Blue color looks especially eye-catching in sunlight. Plus, with the new energy license plate, there's no need to bid for a number, saving tens of thousands. The rotating touchscreen inside is great for watching videos, and the karaoke function adds a lot of fun during camping trips.

Tech enthusiasts, let's talk about the Song's system. The Blade Battery's safety is indeed a highlight, and its ability to pass the nail penetration test without catching fire is crucial for family users. For daily commuting, the pure electric mode is more than sufficient, costing just a few cents per kilometer. The DM-i hybrid technology is quite smart, automatically switching to engine direct drive on highways, which is a logical approach to saving power. Maintenance is simpler compared to traditional gasoline cars, with service intervals of 10,000 kilometers after the first service. The advancements in smart systems in domestic cars are noticeable now, and features like remotely turning on the air conditioning to pre-cool the car in summer are absolute lifesavers.
