These are the first photos of the plug-in hybrid
version of the BYD Song Max MPV. It is going to be a spectacular
car. It will combine a 156 hp petrol engine with two electric motors, one on
each axle. Combined output is a massive 446 hp and 740 Nm.
Name talk: the Song Max is the final and official name for the car
formerly known as the Song 7and
the Song MPV.
The hybrid will also get a giant touch screen that
can be rotated from a horizontal to a vertical position. Really cool but it
does not appear to be very useful. The petrol-powered cars will have to do with
a smaller not-rotating touch screen.
Strangely, the instrument panel is only partly
digital, there are still two big old analog clocks. Very odd as BYD has long
fitted fully digital panels in various of their other cars.
