What engine does the Song Pro use?

The Song Pro is equipped with the BYD476ZQD engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 185 HP, a maximum power output of 136 KW at 5500 rpm, and a peak torque of 288 Nm. The engine of the Song Pro is assembled by BYD, making it a domestically produced engine. For daily maintenance of the Song Pro's engine, the following methods can be employed: Use lubricating oil of the appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, select SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil based on the additional equipment in the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions. For diesel engines, choose CB--CD grade diesel engine oil according to mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's specified requirements. Regularly change the engine oil and oil filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will deteriorate over time with use. After a certain mileage, the performance degrades, leading to various engine issues. To prevent malfunctions, change the oil periodically based on usage conditions and maintain an appropriate oil level. As oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances accumulate in the filter. If the filter becomes clogged and oil cannot pass through, it may rupture the filter or open the safety valve, allowing oil to bypass through the bypass valve and carry contaminants back to the lubrication points, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal contamination. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls. These mix with metal particles from component wear to form sludge. In small amounts, the sludge remains suspended in the oil, but in large quantities, it precipitates, clogging filters and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Periodically use a radiator cleaner to flush the radiator. Removing rust and scale deposits not only ensures the engine operates properly but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.
The Song Pro is equipped with BYD's in-house Xiaoyun 1.5T turbocharged engine, which delivers a maximum power of 185 horsepower and 290 Nm of torque. Paired with a dual-clutch transmission, it offers quick power response. During my test drive, I felt strong acceleration, making city overtaking effortless and highway driving fuel-efficient. The engine also integrates direct fuel injection and variable valve timing technologies, optimizing fuel efficiency with a combined fuel consumption of around 7 liters per 100 km. Maintenance is hassle-free, requiring only regular oil changes, especially considering BYD's lengthy warranty. I recommend opting for the new model with the DM-i hybrid system, which allows pure electric driving for added convenience.
