On September 23rd, BYD held the launch conference of the "second generation DM-i and DM-i" in Tianjin. This is the debut of Diyun Club in Tianjin. Lu Tian and Zhang Zhuo, the two pillars of Diyun Club, played in the Deyun Club of Tianjin, the birthplace of cross talk, and competed with Meng Hetang and Yan Hexiang. With the help of cross talk performances, BYD’s dual-car listing will look different, and the scene will be filled with joy and joy.

The two new cars each launched 4 versions, the official guide price 11.28-14 2,800 yuan, more than 16 full series standard, the entry is high matching, reshaping the national SUV new benchmark, fully demonstrating BYD’s continued technological innovation to promote technology inclusive, leading the new energy automotive industry change determination.

It can be said that this is one of the few new car launches that attract audiences, consumers and media. In the fancy burst stems and dense jokes, the value attributes of the two new models are fully expressed. Supported by the fifth-generation DM technology and with the two new products of the 110,000 level, BYD can be said to have launched a general attack on the joint venture sedan market this time.

Two cars in the same house, reshaping the new benchmark of national SUV

It is not difficult to see that the second-generation Song Pro DM-i and the Sea Lion 05 DM-i belong to the "sister models" under the same platform. In fact, since the establishment of BYD Ocean Network, it has been matched with the Dynasty series. For example, Dynasty Network has Qin PLUS, Ocean Network has it, Dynasty Network has Tang DM-i, Ocean Network has it.

This time, the second-generation Song Pro and Sea Lion 05 are obviously the same model, which is also like the "sister models" of many joint venture brands. The difference is that the same level of models of Ocean Network and Dynasty Network have been designed in different styles, while BYD’s idea is very simple, gradually presenting two equal product lines to meet the needs and preferences of more consumers.

The Sea Lion 05 and Song Pro are built on the same platform, and the two cars are also very similar in terms of body size. However, the appearance design of the two cars is completely different. The second-generation Song Pro DM-i is equipped with the latest Longyan aesthetic design style of Dynasty Network, with sharper lines and a more sporty feel than before. The Sea Lion 05DM-i adopts the new design concept of BYD Ocean series, which is younger and has new energy attributes.

The interior style layout of the second-generation Song Pro DM-i has been reconstructed, abandoning complex lines and decorating with horizontal and vertical lines. The center console is a full LCD instrument panel and a 15.6-inch rotatable central control screen, with built-in BYD DiLink intelligent network system. The interior of the Sea Lion 05 is more inclined to highlight the marine aesthetics, such as the use of water ripple trim under the central control screen, the trend of the air conditioner and the shift area are used in a circular design, and the crystal stop bar looks very delicate. The car is matched with orange + blue stitching to render a youthful and energetic atmosphere.

In terms of space, the second-generation Song Pro DM-i has a car length of 4735mm, a car width of 1860mm and a car height of 1710mm, and a wheelbase of 2712mm, which ensures that there is plenty of riding space inside the vehicle. The new car adopts a large five-seat layout, which can provide a rich and comfortable riding experience whether it is daily commuting or family outings.

3.79L feed fuel consumption, 1400km battery life

The second-generation Song Pro DM-i and Sea Lion 05 DM-i are both equipped with BYD’s fifth-generation DM-i super hybrid technology. The core powertrain consists of a 1.5L Xiaoyun plug-in hybrid special high-efficiency engine, an EHS electric hybrid system and a plug-in hybrid special power blade battery. Compared with the previous generation DM system, the fifth-generation DM-i super hybrid technology has significantly improved power and fuel consumption performance.

The maximum power of the 1.5L naturally aspirated engine is 74 kW, equipped with EHS electric mixing system and plug-in special power blade battery, of which the maximum power of the P3 motor is 120kW. Although the engine has a maximum power of only 74kW, with the high compression ratio brought by the deep Atkinson cycle, its thermal efficiency can reach 46.06%.

According to BYD, the newly released two models’ 100-kilometer NEDC power loss fuel consumption is only 3.79L, which is significantly lower than the previous generation model. At the same time, the comprehensive cruising range of full fuel and full power can reach 1400 kilometers. This excellent battery life and low fuel consumption performance undoubtedly greatly enhance the user’s practical experience.

Strengthening the compact SUV layout, impacting the joint venture fuel vehicle

It can be seen from the above that the fifth generation DM products of 11.28-14 2,800 yuan, the second generation Song Pro DM-i and Sea Lion 05 DM-i are all sincere works, the fuel consumption of 100 kilometers is as low as 3.79L, and the cruising range of more than 1400km is full of oil and full power, plus a smooth power system, and a quiet and comfortable ride experience.

Moreover, the second-generation Song Pro and Sea Lion 05 are indeed significantly different in design, which effectively avoids the "internal friction" of the two cars. At the same time, the two models are far ahead of the same price models in terms of space, configuration, power system, etc. In the current Chinese 11-140,000 yuan SUV market, other competitors in the same class will face great pressure and challenges. At present, the products that can compete with BYD Gemini at the same price include only a few products such as Geely.

In addition, the larger scope of attack actually includes fuel vehicles, especially joint venture fuel vehicles 150,000 to 200,000 range. For this market segment, the second-generation Song Pro DM-i and Sea Lion 05 DM-i do have comprehensive advantages: more space, higher configuration, cheaper price, and leapfrog advantages in fuel consumption and battery life. In the face of the surging BYD dual-car joint attack, the space left for joint venture fuel vehicles and established HEV models is getting smaller and smaller. For BYD, the second-generation Song Pro DM-i and Sea Lion 05 DM-i will once again contribute to the increase in its overall sales.

summarize

The second-generation Song Pro DM-i and the Sea Lion 05 DM-i not only achieved leap-forward progress in appearance design, but also the interior part showed BYD’s unique insights into future travel methods by incorporating Chinese cultural elements. Since 2022, BYD has continued to win the sales championship of the A-class SUV. The launch of the Sea Lion 05DM-i and the second-generation Song Pro DM-i further enriched BYD’s product matrix and consolidated BYD’s leading position in the A-class SUV market. (Wen Chen)
