What is the fuel consumption of the Song Plus DMI?

[DeJohn]

The actual fuel consumption of the Song Plus DMI reaches 6.9 liters per 100 kilometers. More information about the Song Plus DMI is as follows: Introduction: It is equipped with three core technologies: the Xiaoyun Plug-in Hybrid 1.5L high-efficiency engine, the EHS electric hybrid system, and the DMI super hybrid dedicated power blade battery. Combined with four driving modes—EV pure electric, HEV series, HEV parallel, and engine direct drive—it ensures that daily use is primarily electric-driven, with the engine efficiently charging and providing auxiliary drive when needed, achieving ultra-high efficiency under all conditions. Design: It adopts the Dragon Soul Aesthetics Dragon Face 3.0 design, featuring a new octagonal dragon-wing front grille with a more dynamic three-dimensional large mouth. The new car is equipped with crystal diamond dragon-eye LED headlights and '777' electric blue LED daytime running lights, a dragon sprint waistline, and a one-piece through-type LED taillight with a high-mounted brake light on the skyline.

I've been driving my BYD Song Plus DM-i for over half a year now. For daily urban commuting, I mostly use the pure electric mode. A single charge gives me about 110 kilometers of range with almost no fuel consumption, which feels quite convenient. On long trips, I switch to hybrid mode, where fuel consumption fluctuates between 4 to 5 liters per 100 kilometers, depending mainly on road conditions and speed. Maintaining 90 to 100 km/h on the highway is the most economical; pushing beyond that increases fuel consumption to around 6L. Driving habits make a big difference—avoiding sudden acceleration and braking while utilizing the energy recovery function makes the car exceptionally fuel-efficient. Overall, it's much more economical than a pure gasoline car. I fill up the tank less than once a month, especially with current high fuel prices, making its advantages quite obvious. Battery maintenance is also crucial; regular checks to keep it healthy are necessary, otherwise, the hybrid mode's fuel consumption might slightly increase.

From a technical perspective, the fuel consumption design of the Song Plus DM-i is quite smart. BYD's DM-i system allows the engine to primarily generate electricity rather than directly drive the wheels, resulting in an official combined fuel consumption of approximately 1.5L per 100km. However, in real-world conditions, actual fuel consumption ranges between 4 to 6L due to driving habits and road conditions. In pure electric mode with a fully charged battery, fuel consumption is zero, making it ideal for city driving. When the battery is low, the engine kicks in, increasing fuel consumption. Factors such as insufficient tire pressure or excessive use of air conditioning can add an extra 0.5 to 1L. Based on my personal experience, maintaining a steady driving style keeps fuel consumption around 4L, while cruising at 110km/h on the highway results in about 5.5L. Overall, it stands out among plug-in hybrids, offering high reliability and trustworthiness.

In terms of fuel economy, the Song Plus DM-i is very fuel-efficient. My daily commute is 30 kilometers, costing only a few yuan in electricity. The hybrid mode averages 4 liters per 100 kilometers, so I'm not worried about rising fuel prices. Using the pure electric mode more often and having a home charging station can cut fuel expenses in half. In the long run, it saves a lot of money compared to a pure gasoline car. Driving gently instead of aggressively helps maintain these savings.
