I've used the BYD Song Max many times, and it comes equipped with a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine paired with a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission, delivering approximately 154 horsepower. When driving in the city, the engine responds quite sensitively, with smooth and non-abrupt acceleration from a standstill. The power output is sufficient for overtaking, never feeling sluggish. On the highway, it performs steadily and reliably, with well-controlled RPMs, which helps reduce overall fuel consumption. The only downside is that the engine emits a slight humming noise during rapid acceleration, but it's not a major issue, and overall noise insulation is decent. In terms of maintenance, the engine's reliability is good, with affordable regular servicing costs—just a few hundred dollars a year. It feels very suitable for family trips, with a well-balanced combination of space and power, especially reducing fatigue in congested traffic. Overall, this engine is mature in technology, offers great value for money, and is highly recommended for those who frequently drive on city roads.
