Which has lower fuel consumption, BYD Song or Haval M6?

[OFelicity]

Haval M6 is lower. Below is more information about the Haval M6: Exterior: Designed by an international team, the star-studded front grille and eagle-eye headlights showcase a progressive attitude. The continuous lower grille stretches the visual width, creating more tension and a more fashionable, imposing overall appearance. Interior: The Haval M6 continues the classic design language of the Haval family. The wing-inspired center console, designed with a 'simple and practical' concept, pairs perfectly with the classic three-spoke multifunction steering wheel. The intelligent combination instrument panel and 8-inch LCD central control display make all functions easily accessible, reflecting humanized care. Powertrain: The Haval M6 is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine across the lineup, meeting China VI emission standards. It delivers a maximum power of 110kW and peak torque of 210Nm, offering strong performance in its class. The transmission system is matched with either a 6-speed manual or 7-speed wet dual-clutch gearbox.

I've been closely following hybrid technology, and the BYD Song absolutely dominates the Haval M6 in terms of fuel consumption. The M6 is a pure fuel-powered SUV with a combined fuel consumption of over 8 liters per 100 kilometers, which can spike to 10 liters in city traffic jams. It performs better on long-distance trips but still consumes over 7 liters even on highways. The Song, on the other hand, benefits from its plug-in hybrid system. For short trips, it runs on electricity with zero fuel consumption, and in hybrid mode, the combined consumption is around 5 liters. The energy recovery from the electric motor and the intelligent coordination with the internal combustion engine make it significantly more fuel-efficient during acceleration and starts. I often drive both cars for business trips, and the Song easily saves me 30-40% on fuel costs compared to the M6. Although the M6 is cheaper upfront, its monthly fuel expenses are hundreds of yuan higher. I’d recommend the Song hybrid version for those sensitive to fuel costs, provided they have convenient access to charging stations. After long-term use, the Song’s battery remains stable, making it overall more economical and environmentally friendly.

Many of my friends drive cars, and from a fuel consumption perspective, the BYD Song is more economical. A friend who previously drove a Haval M6 for commuting said it consumed 9 to 10 liters per 100 kilometers in the city, and frequent refueling was painful for the wallet. After switching to the Song Plug-in Hybrid, they could drive all day on pure electric mode without using any fuel, and with mixed usage, the average consumption was around 5 liters, saving a significant amount. Another colleague who drove the M6 on long highway trips found 6 liters acceptable, but overall expenses were still high. The Song’s hybrid system is smart, relying on electricity at low speeds and combining fuel and electricity at high speeds, saving a few cents per kilometer on average. The M6 not only has higher fuel consumption but also becomes noisy over time and accelerates poorly while consuming more fuel. For those looking to save on fuel, the Song is recommended, and it’s best to test it in urban conditions to feel the difference. Driving habits also affect fuel consumption—gentle acceleration and turning off the AC can save even more. Overall, the Song is the more cost-effective choice.

As an ordinary person who calculates expenses daily, the BYD Song is much more fuel-efficient and cost-saving than the Haval M6. The M6 has a combined fuel consumption of around 8 liters, costing over 1,000 yuan per month on fuel, while the Song plug-in hybrid uses only 5 liters in hybrid mode, saving half the money, and zero fuel cost when driving electrically, which is even more economical. In city driving, the M6's fuel consumption skyrockets in traffic jams, wasting fuel, while the Song intelligently switches to avoid engine idling. Maintenance-wise, the M6 is simpler, but fuel costs eat up the budget. I chose the Song to reduce daily expenses, and in the long run, it also holds its value better. When fuel prices rise, the difference becomes even greater, and the Song wins.

I often take my kids out, and the BYD Song's fuel consumption is much lower than the Haval M6, making it more suitable for families. The Haval M6 averages around 8 liters per 100 kilometers, and a trip to the park costs over ten liters of fuel, which is expensive. The Song plug-in hybrid uses only electricity for daily commutes, resulting in extremely low fuel costs, and its hybrid mode averages 5 liters per 100 kilometers, making it more fuel-efficient and comfortable. Its spacious interior easily fits a stroller, and the engine is quiet and smooth. Choosing the Song for weekly school runs saves 30-40% on fuel costs, and long trips are hassle-free with electric power supplementation. Although the M6 is cheaper, frequent refueling is a hassle. I recommend choosing the Song hybrid for its efficiency and practicality.
