Recently, Li Yunfei, deputy general manager of Auto Sales Co., Ltd., said on social media that based on BYD's existing plug-in hybrid model, the brand will add DM-I platform model, which will improve fuel consumption, NVH and other aspects, and the new architecture plan will be announced in April. "Cash Tang DM" currently adopts DM 3.0 system for BYD plug-in hybrid vehicle, for example, cash Tang DM is a representative product of the agency. Li Yunfei said that people's cognition of BYD DM is "542 high performance" (0-100km / h acceleration time is less than 5 seconds, full-time four-wheel drive, and comprehensive oil consumption is less than 2L / 100km). Based on this architecture, BYD will also promote DM-I platform which is more economical. It is reported that the core advantages of the new platform are low fuel consumption (the fuel consumption is less than 5L / 100km without charging, the measured fuel consumption of 2019 tangdm is 8.4l/100km), NVH improvement, etc. From their respective advantages, the target user groups of new platform models and existing platform models are not the same. For users pursuing high performance, the existing DM architecture will still be the first choice, while consumers pursuing economy seem to be able to choose the I version model. The details of the new platform are not known for the time being, and officials say the new architecture plan will be announced in April.
