The car just launched recently and there were no discounts. I bought it at the official price, and all they gave me were floor mats and basic window tint, which I didn’t really like. Most of my driving is within the city, and I use the AI mode — so it runs fully on electric most of the time. There’s no engine noise or vibration, and the cabin is very quiet, especially with the double-layer front windows. Fuel consumption is excellent — the gasoline engine rarely kicks in. The seat ventilation works great, but I’m a bit worried about the beige interior getting dirty. I’m still undecided whether to add seat covers since they might affect the cooling. The 5.0 infotainment screen looks good and is easy to use — just like a smartphone — but updates are slow, and some features are still locked. As for smart driving, it’s just average for now. BYD hasn’t really stood out in that area yet.

I needed a family car since I have kids and elderly parents at home, so it had to be something high-riding and comfortable. After a lot of research, we ended up focusing on BYD, especially since I had previously driven a Song Pro from the same brand — it was very comfortable and reliable, and that built my trust in them, both in terms of safety and technology. Since we travel by car a few times a year, I didn’t want to rely fully on electric, so we went with a hybrid to avoid range anxiety. The car is spacious and suits family needs really well — that’s what I liked most about it. What I regret, though, is the color. I chose it thinking it wouldn’t show dirt, but it turned out to be the opposite — every bit of dust is visible. I feel like a dark grey would’ve been a better choice. There are also a few small issues: at around 60 km/h, you can hear wind noise near the driver’s door, and the engine sound is quite noticeable. Below 30 km/h, there’s a slight humming noise, and if I brake hard, the car reacts a bit sharply. Driving-wise, the car has excellent torque, and when you step on the accelerator, you really feel the power — the hybrid system has definitely been useful. Over the last 4 months, I’ve driven more than 4,000 km, and my average consumption for the last 50 km has been around 8.7 kWh/100 km and 1.5L/100 km of fuel — which I’m honestly very happy with.
