What is the fuel consumption of the BYD Song?
2 Answers
The official fuel consumption of the BYD Song 1.5T is claimed to be 7.4L. Here is the relevant information: Interior: The interior design of the Song emphasizes a technological and sporty feel. The flat steering wheel and all-black color scheme give it a youthful vibe. Despite its affordable price, the generous use of soft-touch materials is quite commendable. The Song has become the most sought-after model in BYD's Dynasty series, and the 'Song' logo inside the car adds a unique touch. Powertrain: The 1.5T engine delivers strong performance even at low RPMs, with a sensitive throttle calibration that makes it slightly jumpy at startup, which is quite practical for daily driving. The 6-speed DCT's smoothness has been improved, with reduced jerking at low gears. However, it still lags a bit in response to sudden acceleration compared to dual-clutch transmissions. The 1.5T engine also shows good explosive power at mid-to-high RPMs, with ample throttle response even at 100km/h, and the transmission performs better at higher gears.
I've been driving the Song DM-i for over half a year, and the fuel consumption is truly reassuring. The official rating of 4.5L is under ideal conditions - my daily city commute averages around 5.2L, while weekend highway driving can drop to 4.8L. The most impressive was that trip back to my hometown: fully loaded with AC on provincial roads at just 4.3L. My colleague's pure gasoline version consumes much more, over 9L in city driving. The hybrid system's biggest advantage is electric power at low speeds - the engine doesn't start in traffic jams, saving significant fuel. Using Eco mode plus anticipatory driving really squeezes out extra savings. Despite its modest 52L fuel tank, breaking 1,000km range is easily achievable.
