What is the fuel consumption of the Song Plus?
2 Answers
The fuel consumption of the Song Plus is 9.6 liters per 100 kilometers. The Song Plus is a compact SUV under BYD, with dimensions of 4705 mm in length, 1890 mm in width, and 1680 mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2765 mm. The Song Plus is a five-door, five-seat SUV model, equipped with a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine across all variants. Factors affecting fuel consumption are as follows: Rough roads increase fuel consumption: Driving on congested or uneven roads in low gear for extended periods inevitably raises fuel consumption. Using the trunk as storage increases fuel consumption: Loading the trunk with unnecessary items increases the vehicle's weight, directly impacting fuel consumption. Reducing vehicle weight by 10% can lead to a corresponding percentage decrease in fuel consumption. Poor driving habits can double or triple fuel consumption: Incorrect driving habits have the most significant impact on fuel consumption, especially during traffic congestion, at red lights, or when changing lanes, where sudden acceleration and braking are most common.
I've been using the gasoline version of the BYD Song Plus for my daily commute for almost a year now. The actual fuel consumption fluctuates quite a bit in real-world driving - it can spike up to 11 liters per 100 km in city traffic jams, but drops to just over 7 liters during highway cruising. My long-term average is around 9 liters, which feels reasonable and not too fuel-thirsty. Driving habits make a big difference - aggressive acceleration and braking increase consumption, while smooth operation saves quite a bit. My model has the 1.5T engine, with official combined consumption rated at 8-10 liters, matching my real-world measurements. For better fuel efficiency, the DM-i hybrid version would be preferable, achieving as low as just over 4 liters. Regular maintenance like oil changes and tire pressure checks also helps maintain efficiency. Overall, it's slightly thirstier in urban driving but remains fairly economical.
