Since BYD won the championship in the market, it seems that BYD has become more and more keen on adding the word “champion” to the name suffix of new models. After the launch of the champion version of Qin PLUS, Destroyer 05 and other models, it is finally the turn of the Song series. Recently, the official image of BYD Song Pro DM-i Champion Edition was officially released. Compared with the current model, the new car has a more personalized appearance design, and it is planned to be launched on May 25, before the arrival of the Song Pro DM-i Champion Edition. Let’s first see if this car is worth the wait.
The upgraded shape is more aggressive. Song Pro DM-i is a compact SUV owned by BYD, and it is also the main sales force of BYD. The original appearance level has reached a good level. Now the design of Song Pro DM-i Champion Edition is optimized on the basis of the original model. The front face of the new car has been upgraded. Specifically, it adopts a new style of front face. The size of the front grille is enlarged, and the inside of the grille is also covered with chrome-plated dotted line elements, which are highly recognizable. In addition, the chrome-plated decorative strip next to the grille also significantly enhances the fashion sense of the new car.
Of course, the two large-sized air intakes on the front face are also particularly eye-catching, placed on the front of the car like a pair of fangs, which looks fierce. Not only that, in order to further enhance the sense of individuality, the body color of the Song Pro DM-i Champion Edition has also added a distant mountain green color, which is more like cyan blue. But no matter which color it is, it is indeed very recognizable.
The side design of the Song Pro DM-i Champion Edition is much simpler, basically the same as the original model. Among them, the multi-spoke wheels are very fashionable. BYD models have really put a lot of effort into the design of the rims. You may wish to look at other brands. Even for models worth more than 200,000 CNY, their rim designs are more traditional and conservative.
At the rear of the car, the design of the Song Pro DM-i Champion Edition is the same as the original model, with a through-type taillight, and there are BYD’s famous brand letters under the taillight, which makes it easy to recognize that it is a BYD model. In addition, the bumper of the Song Pro DM-i Championship Edition also uses a black anti-scratch guard, which can make the whole car look more wild. Moreover, as can be seen from the name, the anti-scratch guard can effectively prevent the body sheet metal from being scratched.
As for the power system, it can be clearly seen from the model name of the Song Pro DM-i Champion Edition that the new car will be equipped with BYD’s famous DM-i super hybrid system and will be equipped with a blade battery, just like the current model. It is probably guessed that the pure electric range of the Song Pro DM-i Champion Edition will also have two versions of 51km and 110km.
With reference to BYD‘s other Champion Edition models, it is not difficult to guess that the Song Pro DM-i Champion Edition is the mid-term facelift of the Song Pro DM-i model. Although the design of the new car has been upgraded, it is estimated that the price of the new car will drop further, and the drop range should be around 20,000 CNY. After all, other champion models also operate in the same way. The price of the current model starts at 140,800 CNY, so the price of the new model is expected to start at around 120,000 CNY.
It can also be guessed from the champion version that the configuration of the Song Pro DM-i Champion Edition will not be reduced. Even the lowest configuration can meet the basic car needs, that is to say, the arrival of the Song Pro DM-i champion version. The main purpose is to further lower the threshold for car purchase, which is undoubtedly a good thing for consumers. Everyone can buy the Song Pro DM-i Champion Edition with less money. The key is that the configuration is not only reduced compared to the current model, but even slightly enhanced, so this car is still worth waiting for. After it is launched, there is a high probability that you can save about 20,000 CNY when buying a car. And through the performance of the Song Pro DM-i Champion Edition, you can also feel the luminous points of BYD. One is to pay attention to users, and the other is to reduce costs and increase efficiency, so that on the basis of ensuring the quality of new cars, it can give a lower market price.
BYD leads the way in the electric vehicle market, but it never stops moving forward. Starting from 2023, it will vigorously deploy new models, and Song Pro DM-i has always been the sales pillar of BYD. Now that the Song Pro DM-i Champion Edition has arrived, the strength of this car has been greatly improved, and the configuration has been increased. At the same time, the price is expected to continue to drop. This will benefit consumers, but it will put a lot of pressure on competitors. This means that the compact SUV market will start another fierce battle.
