New Super DM Technology

BYD Super DM Technology

BYD Super DM (Dual Mode) Technology, represents a game-changing evolution in intelligent plug-in hybrid (PHEV) technology. Exclusively developed by BYD, it brings a multitude of benefits including energy efficiency, low fuel consumption, drive performance and comfort.

How is BYD Super DM different?

BYD Super DM Technology differs from other PHEV technologies. At the heart of BYD Super DM Technology is an electric-based hybrid system. This hybrid architecture uses a high-power motor drive and large-capacity power battery as its primary power source, only using the engine for assistance. This innovative system focuses on efficiency, effortlessly adapting to different driving scenarios.

What are the benefits?

With a fully charged battery, the vehicle becomes pure electric.
When SOC is low, it transforms into an ultra-low fuel consumption hybrid vehicle.
Prioritises electric power with minimal reliance on fuel.
Kinder to the environment.
Offers greater energy efficiencies and lower fuel consumption.
Creates a quiet and comfortable ride.
Supplies high-power performance and responsiveness.

The three core components of Super DM Technology

Electric Hybrid System (EHS)

The Electric Hybrid System (EHS) is a highly integrated powertrain that incorporates high-speed dual motors, dual controllers and advanced oil-cooling technology to increase motor power density and efficiency.

PEAK POWER:

145 kW / 150 kW

PEAK TORQUE:

300N·m

Xiaoyun 1.5L/1.5T Hybrid Engine

An innovative engine design specifically made for Super DM Technology. The Xiaoyun engine, with world-leading thermal efficiency, has a simplified compact structure, boosting power with high peak power and torque.

A Large Capacity Blade Battery

BYD Super DM Technology uses a tailor-made version of the highly acclaimed Blade Battery. These bespoke Blade Batteries for the hybrid platform have power capacities ranging from 18.3 kWh, achieving a pure-electric range up to 115km. It offers multiple benefits such as the following.

Enhanced Safety

The Blade Battery has safely passed the stringent Nail Penetration Test without emitting fire or smoke.

Optimised Strength

Arranged in an array in one pack, each cell serves as a structural beam to help withstand force. The aluminium honeycomb-like structure, with high-strength panels on the upper and lower sides of the pack, enhances vertical rigidity.

Longer Range

Compared with traditional battery packs, space utilisation is increased by 50% with the Blade Battery. This produces enhanced energy density for a longer range.

Longer Lifecycle

The Blade Battery has a long battery life of over 5000 charge and discharge cycles.

Additional Technology

Charging: Fast & Convenient

Experience the convenience of fast DC charging with Super DM Technology.You could charge your battery from SOC 30% to 80% in just 35 minutes. There is also an AC option for charging at home.

V2L: Practical & Fun

Enjoy the same pleasures and practical conveniences that Vehicle-to-Load (VtoL) technology brings to electric cars.

BYD DM models, with VtoL, can be transformed into a mobile power bank, providing power for a wide range of electrical appliances, from computers and gaming consoles, open-air cinemas, to kettles and barbecues. From outdoor family adventures to practical travel needs, VtoL technology brings a refreshing, new experience to journeys.

Three Power Supply Modes

Comfort City Driving

Enjoy quiet journeys with excellent ride comfort, and fast responsive acceleration that is synonymous with pure-electric driving.

Regenerative braking harvests energy and increases the range.

In Pure EV Mode, the wheels are 100% driven by the electric motor for an all-electric drive experience, with the Xiaoyun engine on standby.

Drive Further

When the battery power falls below the user-set SOC value, the engine will automatically engage for range extension.

While the Xiaoyun engine acts as a generator charging the battery, the wheels are driven by the electric motor, making HEV mode the ideal companion for extending range.

The Full Power Mode

The wheels are driven by both the electric motor and the Xiaoyun engine.

This mode produces fast responsive acceleration in situations such as overtaking on highways, providing high power performance.

Moreover, for high-speed cruising at low SOC, wheels are 100% driven by the Xiaoyun engine, reducing fuel consumption combined with economical and efficient power output.

A Superb All-Round Experience

BYD Super DM Technology revolutionizes eco-friendly journeys. Combine energy efficiencies and fuel economies, with quick and responsive acceleration, as well as quiet and smooth ride comfort.

Economical: Energy Efficient, Low Fuel

BYD Super DM Technology has been developed to offer remarkable levels of energy efficiency, and lower fuel consumption, providing a practical low-carbon option for eco-conscious consumers. The specialist Xiaoyun 1.5L hybrid engine produces an industry-leading thermal efficiency of 43.04%*.

With a high-efficiency zone that increases to 80%, Super DM Technology has an impressive fuel consumption as low as 6L per 100km. A potent electric motor, with an exceptional 97% efficiency ensures an economical performance, producing a pure-electric driving range up to 115km, while the combined technology offers a reassuring long range in excess of 1000km in diverse conditions.

Fast: Exhilarating & Responsive

BYD Super DM Technology combines power and efficiency for every journey. With a system total power of up to 238kW, expect a dynamic driving experience with high-power performance; fast acceleration and agile responsiveness.
Acceleration from 0-100 km/hr is comparable to that of 2.0T engine. The electric motor boasts an impressive 10ms-level response time, adding a remarkable level of precision to the driving dynamics.

Quiet: Bringing Serenity to Journeys

The electric-centric architecture integral to BYD Super DM Technology makes journeys quiet and serene, producing a haven of tranquillity.
Noise levels are minimised as the vehicle quietly glides along, whether in the city or on the highway, epitomising the perfect blend of power, efficiency and NVH excellence.

Smooth: Exceptional Ride Comfort

BYD Super DM Technology delivers an exceptionally smooth ride, rather like a pure EV driving experience. The Electric Hybrid System embodies simplicity with seamless gear shifts for effortless driving and comfortable journeys.
