As we all know, as long as BYD’s model has the suffix of championship edition, it will scare opponents of the same level, and BYD Song Plus DM-i fits this description very well. BYD Song Plus DM-i has hybrid performance and has always been the first choice for many consumers to choose SUV. In particular, Song PLUS Champion Edition (DM, EV) sold 41,377 units in November, ranking first among plug-in hybrid SUVs for 30 consecutive months.
Compared with its competitors of the same level, the sales volume of BYD Song Plus DM-i is very good, widening the obvious gap. What changes have been made to the new 2023 Song Plus DM-i model? Why is this car popular?
The most obvious thing is that the front part uses the latest marine aesthetic design. The DM-i version has a semi-enclosed front face, and the EV version has a fully enclosed front face. The DM-i version looks closer to a new energy model from an unknown force. The logo on the front of the new Dm-i replaces the old Chinese regular script “Song” with the more concise English BYD. The entire front face, if you look at it from a distance, you will find that it has the shape of an The layering of the entire front wheel will look better with the addition of the frame grille, which breaks the traditional design concept.
Secondly, the car’s body has not changed much, and the wheelbase remains at 2765mm, so it still retains a relatively generous and large space environment. The new BYD Song PLUS Dm-i has added two colours: Misty Rain Gray and Celeste. The seats are made of imitation leather, and the main driver supports electric adjustment. The second-row seats can adjust the backrest angle and support tilting down proportionally. The seat cushions are wide enough, long enough and high enough. The headroom and legroom are also very ample. It uses a flat floor, the seats have excellent wrapping properties, and the rear leg rests are softer than those in the front, ensuring user comfort. These designs of Song plus Dm-i set a good example for space utilization in compact family SUVs.
The entire shape of the rear compartment space is smooth and regular, making it easier to use. There are storage compartments on both sides of the cover, and there are also hidden storage compartments under the surface. The new version of Dm-i uses piano paint material in the opening part of the rear compartment to create the feeling of a step, so when you move things, you can rely on this place to move up. This not only saves effort but also prevents you from being hit Scratched.
The wiring of the light group of Song Plus Dm-i integrated taillights has been rearranged to make it more delicate and coordinated, and the outer outline of the light group has been blackened. This change makes it look more advanced and mysterious. It is the same as the difference before and after the change of the BMW 5 Series.
Interior decor
The interior part of the whole style is biased towards home simplicity, and the centre console is a hugging shape design. The seats adopt a youthful colour scheme, the floating multimedia display supports rotary touch control, the internal OTA upgrade, car network and mobile phone connectivity, etc. The steering wheel and car UI page are replaced and equipped with 31 colors of ambient lighting and one-piece seats. The higher-end models also get another front dual 15w wireless charging for mobile phones and infinity audio. The whole car reduces a lot of physical buttons, looks extraordinarily simple. The improvement of the new BYD Song plus dm-i follows the trend of rejuvenation, checking for upgrades and improving the design towards the new power new energy vehicles. I am very hopeful that the Song plus Dm-i conveys a more concise, dynamic new era of electric car design, which is also more in line with its own young marine tone.

The Song Plus Dm-i version has been updated with a 150km electric range version, which has one of the most important core features of the car, namely the FSD Frequency Variable Damping Dampers. This configuration is usually only available on top of BYD’s flagship models, with the FSD giving the Song Plus Dm-i a stronger sense of heaviness, there is a more positive can filter out the road feel of such road surfaces, to provide a better ride.
