Song MAX DM／／Tang EV and other BYD new car prospects in 2019.
[car home News] Although the past 2018 was not a "good year" for many brands, for BYD, which has been deeply rooted in the field of new energy, this brand still maintained a high growth rate in the case of cold car market last year. Judging from the published data, BYD sold a total of 520,700 vehicles throughout the year, up 27.09% year-on-year. Among them, there are 247,800 new energy vehicles and 272,900 fuel vehicles, basically achieving an equal share of new energy and fuel vehicles. From the brand sales data, this achievement is still very good in the case of weak automobile market last year.
In the next 2019, BYD will have many new cars on the market. After our combing, BYD will launch three new energy vehicles, including (|)EV 600, Song MAX DM and e1(F0 EV). In addition, S1, Song and brand-new large and medium-sized riders will also join the battle. Let’s take a look at these new cars together.
● Song MAX DM
Time to market: within 2019
New car features: the styling design has been upgraded/the comprehensive torque is 740 Nm.
The plug-in hybrid version of Song MAX has made a lot of noise last year, and this car will be officially launched this year. After the new car adopts plug-in hybrid technology, the highest comprehensive torque reaches an astonishing 740 Nm, and the appearance is slightly different from that of the gasoline version, and the interior part is more scientific and technological.
In appearance, the design of the plug-in hybrid version of Song MAX is different from that of the gasoline version. For example, the style of the front grille will change, and the shape of the fog lighting strips on both sides will be slightly different. At the same time, this car is also equipped with multi-spoke wheels. The charging port of the car is located on the right rear fender.
In the interior part, this plug-in hybrid version is equipped with a rotatable large-size screen used in the official map earlier, which is more scientific and technological. In terms of details, the "Song" logo on the steering wheel of the plug-in hybrid version has become a blue font, and it also uses the same electronic gear as Song DM, which is very high-grade. In the back row, we can see that the car is equipped with rear air conditioning control buttons, 220V power supply, USB interface and so on.
In terms of power, the new car uses a 1.5T turbocharged engine with a 6-speed dual-clutch gearbox, and at the same time, it is equipped with front and rear dual motors. The maximum power of both motors is 110 kW and the maximum torque is 250 Nm. The comprehensive power and torque of the power system are 333kW and 740N·m respectively.
● Song MAX EV
Time to market: within 2019
New car features: different design/pure electric drive
This year, apart from the plug-in hybrid model, Song MAX is expected to launch. We also learned from the application information of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology that BYD has declared the pure electric version of Song MAX, a 6/7-seat MPV model with hot sales in the current market. This model inherits the family design of the fuel version, and the exterior design is only different in the middle net and the lower enclosure.
BYD Song MAX pure electric version has a body size of 4680*1810*1680mm and a wheelbase of 2785, which is completely consistent with the fuel version. The front face still uses the "Dragon Face" family design language. The difference from the fuel version lies in the design of the middle net, which adopts the plate array shape similar to armor, and the chrome-plated horizontal stripes in the fog light area are also slightly different from the fuel version. Tyre size is 225/50 R18, and the rim adopts ten-spoke slender stripe shape.
In terms of optional configuration, it is known that sunroof, luggage rack, keyless entry, lane keeping, privacy glass, panoramic image, side air curtain, wheel core cover, etc. will be installed on different versions of vehicles as optional accessories. In addition, we also see from the application information that the car is rated to carry 6/7 passengers, so it can be inferred that the car may launch two versions of 6-seat and 7-seat like a fuel car.
In terms of power, the pure electric version of BYD Song MAX will use a permanent magnet synchronous motor with a peak power of 120kW, and the power battery will use a ternary lithium battery with a maximum speed of 150 km/h. We know that BYD will digitally mark the cruising range of pure electric vehicles at the rear, but from the pictures provided by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, it is difficult to determine whether the car is EV500 or EV600.

Although Song MAX’s plug-in hybrid model is based on the gasoline version, it has been greatly improved in terms of vehicle performance. If nothing else, the comprehensive torque of 740 Nm alone is enough to join the "sports car" club, and its arrival is a boon for consumers who have certain requirements for vehicle performance. As for the pure electric version, BYD’s pure electric drive technology is also quite mature, so there is no need to worry about technology, and it is expected to have a good performance.
Combined with the information of the plug-in hybrid version of Song MAX and pure electric vehicles exposed this time, they will undoubtedly drop a blockbuster in the domestic MPV market after their launch. After all, hybrid or new energy MPVs are rare in the market, and BYD’s move will certainly enhance its competitiveness in the MPV model market.
● Tang EV
Time to market: February 2019
New car features: BYD SUV and new energy SUV product series flagship/Roewe and other brands are direct competitors.
Tang’s car is in the limelight in the new car market in 2018. In addition to the fuel version and plug-in hybrid version that have already been listed, the pure electric drive Tang EV model was also launched in June 2018, and it was opened at the Guangzhou Auto Show in 2018. Pre-sale,The pre-sale price range is 260,000-360,000 yuan.0-100km/h takes 4.5 seconds.
As a new member of the Tang family, the biggest change in the design of Xintang EV comes from the grille. The brand-new matrix grille is consistent with the concept car of the previous dynasty, and its shape is like the armor of the Qin Terracotta Warriors and Horses. At the same time, the front side of the car is surrounded by larger chrome decoration and its shape is sharper.
Viewed from the side, the side of the new car is consistent with the DM version, and adopts the hidden C-pillar and D-pillar design. It is worth mentioning that the car will be equipped with 265/40 R22 horse brand tires and Brembo’s six-piston calipers. It is difficult to see the difference between the tail shape and the Tang DM version, and the taillight group still uses integrated LED light source.
In terms of interior modeling, the interior of BYD Tang EV is consistent with the DM version of Tang, and the whole is very simple. The rotatable central control screen and full LCD instrument panel still appear on the new car, and the shift lever is replaced by an electronic gear lever. It is understood that the car will provide 2+3+2 and 2+3 seat layouts for consumers to choose from in the future.
In terms of power, the new car is equipped with a permanent magnet synchronous motor with a maximum power of 180 kW (245 HP). According to the application information, the new car will launch three kinds of endurance models: EV500, EV550 and EV600.

In the field of new energy, BYD is undoubtedly the leader of China brand car companies. After years of research and development, the plug-in hybrid technology of this enterprise has now entered the third generation product cycle, which is not only updated in technology, but also better in function and reliability. Pure electric vehicles have always been BYD’s main direction, so the arrival of Tang EV is not abrupt. It’s just that the pre-sale price of this new car up to 360,000 yuan after listing may discourage some consumers who pay attention to it. After all, there are plenty of options in this price range. Therefore, it also means that it has to face more pressure from competitors, but with the help of national policies and BYD’s own strength, I believe this car will have this good market prospect.
● Brand-new medium and large cars
Launch time: or in 2019
New car features: BYD’s new product sequence/expected to be adopted.
Speaking of the models in BYD’s product sequence, medium and large cars have always been the products that everyone is looking forward to. As early as 2015, there was news that BYD was developing a new medium and large car. According to BYD’s naming method, this car is likely to be named "Han".
At present, the specific shape of this car has not been exposed, but according to the information we obtained, BYD Han’s body length, width and height are 4950/1890/1490mm and the wheelbase is 2940mm, which is likely to be positioned as a medium-sized and large car. In other words, it will be the flagship model of BYD car products after its launch.
"Tesla model sp90d"
What is more noteworthy is that this car is equipped with a stronger plug-in hybrid system, which consists of a 2.0T engine and a 150 HP motor, while the four-wheel drive version will also use a 476 HP motor at the rear axle. Under such a powertrain blessing, BYD Han’s 0-100km/h acceleration time is expected to reach 2.9 seconds, reaching the same level as Tesla MODEL S P90D.
In addition, in terms of configuration, according to the information that has flowed out, this car is expected to be equipped with ACC adaptive cruise, electric suction door, head-up display, lane keeping assistance, electric rear spoiler, trunk that can be opened by induction, etc. Generally speaking, it is rich.

Although in recent years, China brands like to get together to release products in the SUV market, the car market can’t be ignored. As long as there are good products, there is no need for consumers to recognize them. BYD’s new generation Qin, which was listed soon, is such an example. Looking at BYD’s layout in the car market, the existing models are still concentrated in the field of compact cars. When it comes to medium and large cars, this brand has not been involved for the time being, but this level of models can play a role in enhancing the brand image and has a positive effect on the establishment of consumer confidence. Establishing the flagship product is the only way for a car company that wants to build a better brand, so we also expect this car to meet with you in recent years.
