Song New Energy uses a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 113 kW and a maximum torque of 240 Nm. The maximum power speed is 5,200 rpm, and the maximum torque speed ranges from 1,750 to 3,500 rpm. It is equipped with direct fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. The matched electric motor has a total power of 220 kW and a total torque of 500 Nm. The BYD Song New Energy uses a ternary lithium battery, which is commonly used in most pure electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid vehicles. Ternary lithium batteries have higher energy density and are lighter in weight. The front suspension of the BYD Song New Energy uses a MacPherson independent suspension, while the rear suspension uses a multi-link independent suspension.

The Song New Energy comes in two variants: hybrid and pure electric. I drive the hybrid Song DM-i, which features the Xiaoyun 1.5L naturally aspirated engine paired with an electric motor to form a plug-in hybrid system. It delivers smooth power and low fuel consumption, averaging just around 4 liters per 100 kilometers. In the city, it mostly runs on electricity. This engine boasts ultra-high thermal efficiency, and BYD has refined the technology meticulously, ensuring minimal noise during startup and no worries about running out of power on long highway trips. It’s quite suitable for family use. After driving it for six months, I find the maintenance simple and cost-effective. It can even run on regular 92-octane gasoline, and the upkeep costs are significantly lower than traditional fuel-powered cars. I highly recommend it to friends who prioritize energy efficiency but still need long-distance driving capability.

As a tech enthusiast, I've researched the Song New Energy series. Its hybrid version is equipped with a 1.5L Xiaoyun engine specifically optimized for hybrid systems, delivering smooth power output that seamlessly integrates with the electric motor. In urban driving, it mostly operates on pure electric power, with the engine only kicking in during highway driving or rapid acceleration, resulting in remarkably low fuel consumption. During my test drive, I noticed the transitions were almost imperceptible. However, the pure electric version of the Song doesn't have an engine, relying solely on batteries and motors for zero-emission driving which is even cleaner. The Song's overall design boasts strong modern aesthetics, and its intelligent interface enhances the driving experience – features like remote charging monitoring are particularly practical for young commuters. It's both eco-friendly and efficient, and the money saved on fuel can be better spent on entertainment.

I drive the Song Hybrid, equipped with the 1.5L naturally aspirated engine named Xiaoyun, which is fuel-efficient and reliable. Short trips can be powered solely by electricity, while the engine assists in charging during long-distance drives, allowing a full tank of gas to cover over a thousand kilometers. It's easy to maintain and rarely breaks down, making it a worry-free choice for city driving.

Our family chose the Song New Energy, prioritizing environmental protection with the hybrid version's 1.5L engine that is highly efficient and energy-saving, emitting significantly less carbon than traditional vehicles. The pure electric version, with no engine and purely electric drive, offers zero pollution, quiet operation, and a healthy ride, making the air fresher for our children in the car. This system reduces reliance on fossil fuels and promotes sustainable development. Daily charging isn't a hassle either, as community charging stations are readily available. In the long run, it contributes greatly to the environment while also allowing us to enjoy subsidy policies.

From an owner's perspective, the Song New Energy Hybrid utilizes the Xiaoyun 1.5L high-efficiency engine paired with an electric motor combination, delivering ultra-low fuel consumption and leading technology. The pure electric version, without an engine, is driven solely by the electric motor, offering sufficient range for daily use and zero-cost maintenance simplicity. In actual driving, the acceleration response is swift, and the hybrid system is intelligently designed for seamless switching without any jerking, providing a first-class driving experience. It is ideal for those seeking both performance and economical daily driving.
