What Are The Styling Changes?
The overall exterior and interior design of the BYD Tang DM-i Champion Edition is basically the same as before, while there are two main small changes in the details:
1, a new glacier blue car color, looks very fashionable and fresh, which is also the unique color scheme of the Champion Edition model, and no need to add money.
2, the rim style has changed, and tire specifications from 245/45 R20 upgraded to 255/50 R20, the official introduction that can enhance the grip performance and ride comfort.
What Are The Upgrades To The Configuration Features?
In this regard, BYD Tang DM-i is mainly upgraded for 3 aspects:
1, in terms of the external discharge function, the power of the previous model was 3.3kW, but now it becomes 6.6kW, which means that when camping or going out, the Tang DM-i Champion Edition can supply power to more power-using devices at the same time.
As the charging power of the fast charger has been upgraded from the previous 25kW to the current 40kW, the fast charging speed has been improved, and the charge time from 30%-80% SOC is as long as 22 minutes.3. In addition, the mid-range and high-range are also equipped with 12-speaker Danner audio, and through the OTA upgrade, the cell phone’s NFC can also support Apple devices now. BSD blind spot monitoring and W-HUD head-up display are also upgraded.
How Is It To Drive?
As for the 1.5T hybrid system of BYD Tang DM-i Champion Edition, I have already experienced it in the old model as well as Song PLUS DM-i, and in general, the acceleration of the vehicle is very fast, the engine intervention in hybrid mode is not obvious, the smoothness and quietness are guaranteed, and even under the state of power loss, the fuel consumption is also good, and basically it can reach 6L/100km or so!
Of course, the driving experience is the most profound or its chassis, especially when passing through some bumps and speed bumps, you can feel that the vehicle will be more comfortable, and the overall jump and vibration will not be obviously transmitted to the car. The reason behind this is that the new car has a new FSD variable damping suspension system, and the suspension material has been replaced with aluminum alloy, which is a better lightweight.
How About The Level Of Intelligence?
This question is mainly reflected in two aspects, the first aspect is about the car system, Tang DM-i Champion Edition is equipped with DiLink 4.0 Intelligent Internet Connection System, the previous 4G network upgraded to 5G, the overall smoothness of the operation of the car interface function is no problem, the speed and accuracy of the intelligent voice interaction can also reach the mainstream level.
The second aspect is reflected in the intelligent driver assistance system, the car is equipped with L2 level driver assistance system as standard, this test drive in the urban section of Dali, Yunnan Province, also experienced this system, in general, whether it is automatic following the car, or to keep the lane in the center of the car, these routine operations experience is good.
How Is The Space Performance Of The 7-Seater?
Let’s start with the first row of seats, the overall wrapping and support are not bad, and it can also manually adjust the front row leg rest, plus the standard seat heating and ventilation, the comfort can be satisfied.
As for the second row of seats, Tang DM-i Champion Edition length is 4870mm, wheelbase is 2820, belongs to a more standard medium-sized SUV, from the actual experience (the experience of 170cm), whether it is leg or head space, are more abundant, and can also be adjusted front and back and backrest.
Let’s talk about the third row of seats, although sitting up will not have the feeling of the so-called small bench, but the whole is still slightly constricted, the existence of the third row, mainly for emergency needs.
In terms of storage space, the trunk volume is also quite acceptable with the second and third rows standing up. Of course, you can also depending on the actual situation to put down the seats, so as to make an expansion of space.
