What is the actual fuel consumption of the BYD Song?
2 Answers
1.5T BYD Song comes with two transmission systems: a 6-speed manual and a 6-speed dual-clutch. However, their official combined fuel consumption is both 7.4L/100Km, but the actual fuel consumption differs slightly, around 8.7L/100Km and 9.92L/100Km respectively. Here is more information about the BYD Song: 1. The powertrain of the BYD Song: the fuel version offers two turbocharged engine options, one being a 1.5T turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 154 horsepower. 2. The other is a 2.0T turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 205 horsepower. The BYD Song is a compact SUV, and this powertrain is quite good. 3. There is only one 2.0T model of the BYD Song, which is a discontinued but still available model. This car uses a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission system.
I have been driving the BYD Song DM-i for over half a year now. For daily urban commuting, the actual fuel consumption averages around 6 liters per 100 kilometers. In summer, with the air conditioning on, it can go up to 7 liters, and in winter, using the heater also slightly increases fuel consumption. On long-distance highway drives, the fuel consumption remains stable below 5 liters, offering great value for money. Driving habits have a significant impact. When I first started driving, frequent sudden accelerations pushed my fuel consumption up to 8 liters, but after switching to smoother throttle control and utilizing coasting techniques, it decreased. The hybrid system automatically switches between fuel and electric modes, with noticeable fuel-saving effects during traffic jams when using electric power. It's recommended to maintain standard tire pressure and perform regular engine and air filter maintenance, which can improve fuel efficiency by 2-3%. The eco-mode is very friendly for city driving, saving money and being environmentally friendly in the long run.
