Electric Technology Car News: Domestic SUV accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.9 seconds. Can the joint venture BYD Song DM compete with the Highlander?

The college entrance examination will be here in two days. For candidates, this ultimate test is a touchstone to test their learning achievements over the past 10 years, and will also affect their future life trajectory. For car manufacturers, the market test will begin once the new car is launched, and consumers' ratings will directly affect the sales of the new car.

The college entrance examination is divided into different subjects such as Chinese, mathematics and English. Consumers' evaluation of new cars is also divided into different aspects such as appearance, configuration, performance and price. The car I want to introduce to you today may not be a well-rounded student with all-round development of morality, intelligence and physique, but in some areas where it excels, it is undoubtedly the top student in the same grade. Don't you believe it? Let's take a look.

In terms of appearance, it continues the X-shaped front face design, which is fashionable and sporty. A blue trim strip is added to the middle of the chrome plated grille, and the brand logo is replaced with the seal-style Song Dynasty Chinese characters, which directly highlights the identity of a new energy vehicle.

The bright headlights are located on both sides of the grille. The irregular headlights adopted by Song DM, while the blue decorative ring on the outside enhances the technological beauty. The teardrop-shaped daytime running lights with 13 LED bulbs on the outside are actually more for aesthetics. The BYD nameplate hanging on the upper right corner of the black mesh grille greatly enhances the visual refinement.

The rear of BYD Song is sturdy and dynamic, and the dual exhaust layout highlights its youthful and sporty features. The seal-shaped Song brand logo is also eye-catching, especially at night, it emits a unique red effect, and complements the irregular taillights on both sides. The internal structure of the taillights also echoes the headlights, especially the 17 teardrops at the bottom are the most eye-catching.

In terms of interior, Song DM is basically the same as the fuel version, except that the electronic gear lever is replaced in the gear lever area and a four-wheel drive button is added. The instrument panel of Song DM adds a display of driving mode, and the tachometer is replaced with a power meter. The information displayed on the LCD screen also includes the calculation of fuel and electricity costs. The tachometer of the instrument panel is replaced with a power meter, and there is also a display of charging power. The negative part indicates the kinetic energy recovery power of the system.

Song DM has two driving modes: EV pure electric and HEV hybrid, while the four-wheel drive system provides four modes: normal, sand, mud and snow. Song DM can realize the 220V AC discharge function outside the car to discharge external electrical appliances. The discharge voltage is 220V household voltage, with a maximum load capacity of 3.3kVA, which can charge mobile phones and other electronic devices when going out.

As a product of BYD's 542 technology platform, BYD Song DM's biggest feature is its outstanding acceleration ability. It can be described as a crane standing out from the crowd in the same class. It is undoubtedly the champion in the acceleration test, suitable for friends who pursue the pleasure of acceleration. In addition, when the battery is fully charged, the comfort of pure electric driving is better. The central design of the battery pack makes it have a lower and closer center of gravity to the midpoint of the body. With the assistance of the four-wheel drive system, the dynamic performance of the control is better than that of the fuel version. In terms of configuration, BYD has never been inferior to its competitors. It has basically everything, including panoramic sunroof, panoramic image, driving recorder, CarPad system, remote control driving and 220V power supply, which makes it very practical.

However, no one is perfect, and neither is the car. Song DM also has some areas that need improvement. For example, in terms of braking performance, the result of 40.33 meters is acceptable, but it is not as outstanding as the acceleration performance; when the battery is low, the driving comfort and power performance of the vehicle driven by the engine alone will have a certain gap. Teaching users to set the SOC according to their needs will help improve the user experience.
