The body weight of the BYD Song DM-i ranges from 1600kg to 2000kg, varying with different versions. Two versions of the Song Plus: The Song PLUS-DM-i comes with two versions offering pure electric ranges of 51km and 110km.

I've been driving this BYD Song Plus DM-i for a while now, and it weighs around 1,800 kilograms—the exact weight depends on the version you buy. For example, the plug-in hybrid version with a larger battery will be slightly heavier. On the highway, the weight gives a stable feel, reducing drift and making long-distance driving more reassuring. Parking can be a bit more challenging, but fortunately, the steering system is quite responsive. For daily city commuting, the fuel consumption is reasonable, as the hybrid system balances the additional energy demand from the weight. Passengers in the back seat find the space roomy and comfortable. Regular maintenance checks on tires and brake pads are crucial since the heavier body increases wear rates, so I make it a habit to check tire pressure monthly for safety. Overall, this weight suits me well, offering both a sense of security and maintaining driving enjoyment.
