BYD Song Plus DM-i Flagship 2022: A rechargeable hybrid for the family and a large battery

The BYD Song Plus is a five-seater crossover in the Chinese market, and in the DM-i version it is a rechargeable hybrid: the petrol engine works together with the electric motor, and the battery can be charged from the mains. The 2022 car with a mileage of 58,810 km is DM-i in the Flagship trim level with front-wheel drive.

Why does a family need a plug-in hybrid?

A rechargeable hybrid is convenient for those who have a place to charge their car: short everyday trips can be driven on electricity, and on a long journey you can go on petrol, without depending on charging stations. The larger the battery, the more the car travels without petrol, and how many kilometers it actually gives depends on speed, weather and driving style.

Flagship: Battery More Than Twice

Front-wheel drive versions of the DM-i differ primarily in the battery. The Distinguished and Honorable have a capacity of 8.3 kWh, the Flagship has 18.3 kWh, so the Flagship has more energy for driving on electricity. The Flagship equipment includes dual-zone climate control and an electric tailgate. Their operation is worth checking when inspecting a used car.
