Why is it not recommended to buy the Song Pro?
2 Answers
Song Pro has relatively loud noise and high fuel consumption, with weak power. Here is more relevant information: 1. Weak power: The BYD Song Pro is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine across the entire lineup, with a maximum horsepower of 160 and a peak torque of 245 Nm. Such power is indeed somewhat insufficient for an SUV, especially during high-speed overtaking or when fully loaded, giving a feeling of 'a small horse pulling a big cart.' Of course, it is sufficient for daily use. 2. Relatively loud noise: The BYD Song Pro has good noise control at low speeds, but once it reaches high speeds or drives on unpaved roads, various engine noises, tire noises, and wind noises will enter the cabin. The severity of the noise is not too high, and it can be tolerated by slightly turning up the music volume.
As someone who values driving experience, I have a few discomforts with the Song Pro. The powertrain is indeed smooth at low speeds, but wind noise becomes noticeably louder on the highway—sometimes I have to turn up the music volume to drown it out. The suspension tuning is on the stiffer side, making bumps over speed bumps or rough roads quite jarring, and rear passengers are prone to motion sickness. The space performance is decent, but the trunk opening is a bit small, making it inconvenient for loading large items. Additionally, the design of the center console screen suffers from significant glare, forcing me to lean sideways to see navigation info during the day. While fuel efficiency is an advantage, considering overall comfort and driving refinement, I still lean toward other more balanced models.
