As the motherland becomes increasingly prosperous, the Chinese national trend has become a classic trend in the world today. So what exactly is the Chinese national trend? Li Ning gave us the answer with the “Wudao” series, and as for the Chinese national trend in the automotive industry, we have to look at BYD, whose royal family models can be called the epitome of the national trend in the automotive industry.

Among them, the most representative one is undoubtedly the BYD Song Pro, which has won the favor of more than 250,000 users since its launch in 2019. On the evening of April 12th, the second generation of BYD Song Pro officially welcomed a comprehensive upgrade and was launched with six configuration models. Its official price range is from 92,800 yuan to 1.278 million yuan. This time, the “Song” includes five upgrades: new appearance, new interior, new intelligence, core power, and new control.

“Dragon Soul” New Appearance, Future-oriented Detailing

As a symbol of the Chinese nation, the dragon also has a high status in the overall national trend series. After integrating the “Dragon Soul” aesthetic concept, the second generation of Song Pro’s styling is even more domineering. After a closer look, you will find that the new car is equipped with a new high-gloss relief logo, and the font extends to both sides, which is rich in dragon beard artistic conception.

After the front face of the roaring dragon was enlarged by 75%, it has a strong visual impact whether viewed from a distance or up close. This is where the clever design details lie. The chrome-plated decorative strip of the second-generation Song Pro is placed at a 50° angle to obtain the largest light-receiving surface, together with the agile dragon-eye LED headlights, giving it a strong national trend color and visual aesthetics.

Later, a dynamic dragon waistline runs through the body of the second-generation Song Pro, and with the D-pillar’s three-dimensional dragon scale texture design, the overall three-dimensionality and recognition of the vehicle have been improved.

The second-generation Song Pro adopts BYD’s new generation family design language, complemented by a touch of brilliance from the Song Dynasty – Blue and Khaki, two dual-color interior styles, with a bright color screen and rectangular air vents to balance the cold color tone of the car interior, bringing extraordinary visual enjoyment.

In addition, whether it is the hollow-out door handle design, the hollow-out double-layer secondary instrument panel, or the BYD Heart intelligent heart and other details, all embody BYD’s commitment to user experience and design.

New Chinese-style, new intelligence, the second-generation Song Pro understands you better. If there is a hierarchy of contempt in Chinese pop culture, undoubtedly, the pinnacle is the “New Chinese-style” that has historical and cultural connotations and is empowered by technology. The second-generation Song Pro is just such a car that understands you better. After equipped with the third-generation DiLink intelligent network system, it has a stronger hardware architecture, and is equipped with a new HMI interface design and a new intelligent voice system.

It can be seen that the second-generation Song Pro’s renewal and upgrading in terms of appearance, interior, and technology are stunning, and the core highlight of this new car upgrade is not just that. The renewal and upgrading of the power system is also a key point of the second-generation Song Pro. The new car is equipped with a new 1.5TI high-power engine from Xiaolong, with a maximum power of 136 kW and a peak torque of 288 N·m. Compared with the first-generation model, its power and torque have increased by 20%, and its low-speed response, which is most commonly used on urban roads, has increased by 40%.Translate the Chinese text in Markdown below into English Markdown text.

New Human-Vehicle Integrated Control

It is said that the highest realm of driving a vehicle is the integration of humans and vehicles. And the prerequisite for human-vehicle integration is undoubtedly the close coordination of the three major components of the vehicle. Matched with the all-new XIAOYUN 1.5TI high-power engine is a brand-new 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. Under this golden combination, there is also a chassis engineering team who worked together on the Mercedes-Benz S-class performance tuning.

The overall combination brings low-speed lightness, high-speed stability and an extremely German luxury texture to the second-generation Song Pro, providing drivers with a peak realm – the experience of human-vehicle integration.

Dorikin’s Words:

As a car model, BYD’s brand has never been considered a domestic trend, but its Wangchao series models all demonstrate a sense of national trend. The launch of the second-generation Song Pro has further enhanced this SUV’s value-for-money ratio in the hundred-thousand-level purchase category and offers consumers a new and more valuable five-seat SUV. As the national trend surges toward the world, Chinese manufacturing, BYD’s intelligent manufacturing, and the strength of Chinese cars will all condense the spirit of the dragon and move forward.
