What is the fuel consumption of BYD Song Plus DMI?
3 Answers
The fuel consumption of BYD Song Plus-DMI is 5L/100KM. The following is a detailed introduction to the BYD Song: 1. Exterior: It features an X-shaped front grille, giving it a sporty appearance. The side profile of the vehicle adopts a hidden A/B/C pillar design. 2. Powertrain: The BYD Song is equipped with a hybrid system consisting of a 1.5T engine and two electric motors, with one motor positioned on the front axle and the other on the rear axle, enabling all-wheel drive functionality. Additionally, the BYD Song has a pure electric range of 70km and can accelerate from 0-100km/h in 4.9 seconds.
Last time I went on a self-driving trip, I specifically tested the fuel consumption of the Song Plus DM-i. Starting from Beijing to Qingdao with a full tank and fully charged battery, covering over 800 kilometers in total, the displayed comprehensive fuel consumption was 3.8L. The most amazing thing about this car is that it actually saves more fuel in traffic jams. I commute 35 kilometers daily in the city using pure electric mode, charging once every three days, and the fuel gauge barely moves. However, when driving on the highway with the engine engaged, the fuel consumption rises to around 5L. If you don't use electricity at all and run in a depleted battery state, the fuel consumption can reach 5.8L, even the gas station attendant praised it for being more fuel-efficient than his Corolla. By the way, using the heater in winter will increase energy consumption, so it's recommended to preheat the battery in advance using the mobile APP.
I've driven 10,000 km in six months since picking up the car and kept detailed records. With its 18 kWh battery, it can run about 110 km on pure electric power, enough for my three-day work commute. In hybrid mode, the displayed fuel consumption fluctuates between 4-5L, with the lowest I've achieved being 3.3L. Here's a little tip: set the battery preservation level no higher than 50%, otherwise the engine will frequently start to charge. A full tank shows a range of over 1,000 km, and in actual testing, with a full tank and full charge, I drove 1,100 km with 8% fuel remaining, exceeding the official range estimate. The fuel tank is 60 liters, and filling it up costs less than 400 yuan at current fuel prices, saving half compared to similar gasoline cars.
