3 Answers
BYD Song Pro is equipped with a turbocharged engine with the model code BYD476ZQB, which has a displacement of 1.5 liters. This engine delivers a maximum horsepower of 160 hp, a maximum power of 118 kW, and a maximum torque of 245 N·m. The maximum power speed is 5200 rpm, and the maximum torque speed ranges from 1600 to 4000 rpm. Below is a brief introduction to the BYD Song Pro: (1) The BYD Song Pro is a compact SUV produced by BYD Auto. In terms of body dimensions, the BYD Song Pro measures 4650*1860*1700 mm in length, width, and height. (2) In terms of transmission, the BYD Song Pro uses a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission across all models. (3) In terms of drivetrain, the BYD Song Pro features front-engine, front-wheel drive.
I drove my friend's Song Pro, which is powered by BYD's own Xiaoyun 1.5T turbocharged engine. The power is quite impressive, with a maximum output of 136 kW, making overtaking in the city a breeze. The engine features high-pressure direct injection technology, and the official fuel consumption is around 7 liters per 100 kilometers. My friend's actual usage is about 8 liters, which is acceptable. The key is that the engine is well-matched with the 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, providing smooth gear shifts without noticeable jerks. I heard the new model also added a variable geometry turbocharger, delivering immediate response when you step on the gas, unlike the old turbos that took a few seconds to spool up. Maintenance isn't too expensive either, with minor services costing just over 400 yuan.
The Song Pro comes in both fuel-powered and hybrid versions. The fuel-powered version is equipped with the Xiaoyun 1.5T turbocharged engine across the entire lineup. During my test drive, I specifically noticed that the torque reaches 288 Nm at 1800 rpm, making it very responsive at traffic lights. Under the hood, you can see an all-aluminum cylinder block, which provides excellent heat dissipation—even on long drives, the coolant temperature gauge barely moves. Some people complain that turbocharged engines are prone to carbon buildup, but this one features intake tumble optimization technology; after 5,000 kilometers, my spark plugs still looked clean. The hybrid DM-i model swaps in a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine with a claimed thermal efficiency of 43%. It usually functions as a range extender, delivering impressive fuel economy, though the engine noise during hard acceleration is more noticeable compared to the fuel-powered version.
