Will the Song Plus catch fire in a collision?
4 Answers
Song Plus will not catch fire in a collision. Below is relevant information about the BYD Song Plus: 1. Interior. The Song Plus adopts BYD's latest family design style, including air vents highly similar to those in the BYD Han. Additionally, a unique feature is that, apart from the large central control screen and digital instrument panel, there seems to be another screen in front of the front passenger seat, which can preliminarily display information such as temperature and weather. Of course, it might also allow customization for other information. 2. Body dimensions. The pure electric version of the Song Plus measures 4705/1890/1680 mm in length, width, and height, with a wheelbase of 2765 mm.
I have studied the design of the BYD Song Plus, which adopts the Blade Battery technology. This type of battery performs excellently in crash tests, resisting punctures and deformation, and is less prone to overheating or catching fire. Real-world cases show that the probability of fire is very low, as the vehicles have passed stringent safety standards such as the C-NCAP crash test. However, any car can pose a fire risk in severe collisions, especially the battery system of electric vehicles—high-speed impacts may lead to thermal runaway. It is recommended that owners pay attention to regular vehicle maintenance, such as periodic checks on the battery and chassis. In summary, the Song Plus is safer than traditional cars, but safe driving should always be the top priority.
As a Song Plus owner, I've driven it for over two years and experienced several minor accidents without any fire incidents after collisions. The vehicle design is well-executed, with excellent battery pack protection. To be honest, I've checked the news – very few new energy vehicles smoke or catch fire after severe impacts, which depends on collision intensity and environmental factors like battery aging or high temperatures. There's no need to worry during normal usage; the key is maintaining good habits such as timely charging and maintenance. I believe new cars are more reliable than old ones, and BYD invests heavily in safety with mostly positive user feedback. Overall, fires are unlikely to occur easily, but it's important to drive cautiously.
From the data, the proportion of new energy vehicles like the Song Plus catching fire in collisions is much lower than that of traditional fuel vehicles. BYD has reported that their Blade Battery has reduced thermal runaway incidents. I've compared statistics, and electric vehicles account for only a small fraction of fire accidents, most of which are low-speed collisions with minor consequences. Risks exist in high-speed accidents or battery defects, but the probability is very low, much less than daily driving accidents. You can drive with confidence in daily use, just pay attention to warning signals such as unusual noises.
