How to choose a plug-in hybrid model? CHANGAN AUTO Auchan Z6 iDD vs BYD Song PLUS DM-i

CHANGAN AUTO Auchan Z6 iDD is the plug-in version of CHANGAN AUTO Auchan Z6, its biggest feature is equipped with the CHANGAN AUTO iDD hybrid system, which currently offers three configurations to choose from, the official guide price range of 155,800 yuan - 175,800 yuan.

From the pricing point of view, the price of the Auchan Z6 iDD is very targeted, the competitors basically locked the BYD Song PLUS DM-i, the latter is also the best-selling plug-in SUV in the country.

 

So, how does the CHANGAN AUTO Auchan Z6 iDD perform in terms of overall strength? What are the advantages over the BYD Song PLUS DM-i? The author will compare for you today.

 

In terms of shape, the front of the Auchan Z6 iDD is similar to the design style of the CHANGAN AUTO UNI series, the borderless grille is similar to the internal use of dot matrix structure for decoration, and both sides of the headlight cluster use a split shape, the overall style seems more individual. The lower part of the surround is designed in three sections, with vertically arranged deflector slots on both sides, and the overall style looks quite fierce.

 

The front of the Song PLUS DM-i adopts BYD's family design style, and the hexagonal grille is decorated with dotted chrome strips inside, which also has a better visual impact; the headlamps on both sides are blackened and connected by the penetrating chrome strips, which effectively stretches the horizontal visual width of the front.

 

In comparison, the front design language of Song PLUS DM-i is relatively conventional, while the shape of CHANGAN AUTO Z6 iDD is relatively young and individual, which may be more in line with the aesthetic standards of young people.

 

In terms of dimensions, the length, width, and height of the Z6 iDD version of the Auchan are 4699/1890/1680mm, with a wheelbase of 2795mm; the roof should create a suspended shape, and the style appears to be more fashionable.

 

The length, width, and height of BYD Song PLUS DM-i are 4705/1890/1680 (1670) mm with a wheelbase of 2765 mm; the body lines give a more traditional feeling, and the through waistline makes the visual effect appear slender and atmospheric.

 

From the size of the comparison, the difference between the two body lengths is not large, but Auchan Z6 iDD has a certain advantage in terms of wheelbase.

 

In terms of interior, the interior of the Auchan Z6 iDD has a strong sense of hierarchy, offering a three-spoke multifunction steering wheel, 10.3-inch full LCD instrument panel, 9.2-inch intelligent voice screen, 12.3-inch suspended center screen, and electronic gear knob.

The interior design of BYD Song PLUS DM-i is relatively simple, mentioning that it has a three-spoke multifunction steering wheel, a full LCD instrument panel, a suspended center screen, and an electronic gear knob.

 

I believe that the two models of the interior belong to two very different styles, technology is not bad, but overall speaking Auchan Z6 iDD interior is more innovative.

 

 

In terms of space, the rear floor of both models is basically flat, which does not affect the comfort of the middle passenger; a passenger of 1 meter 8 meters tall rides in the rear of the Aushang Z6 iDD, and the remaining leg space is about 2 fists, and rides in the rear of the Song PLUS DM-i, the remaining leg space is close to 2 fists, comparing the rear space of the Aushang Z6 iDD has a slight advantage.

 

In terms of configuration, we use the Auchan Z6 iDD 150KM Flagship PLUS Intelligent Parking Edition and the Song PLUS DM-i 110KM Flagship PLUS Edition, both with a guide price of 175,800 yuan, for comparison.

 

Since they are both high-end models, both are rich in basic features. The advantages of the Auchan Z6 iDD 150KM Flagship PLUS Smart Parking Edition are that it provides fatigue driving tips, automatic parking, induction trunk, shift paddles, active noise cancellation, electric memory for front seats, gesture control, facial recognition, Sony audio, electric memory for exterior mirrors, automatic reverse roll down, automatic The advantages of the Song PLUS DM-i 110KM flagship PLUS version are air conditioning temperature zoning control, headlights rain and fog mode, turn-assist lights, rear seat backrest angle adjustment and external discharge function; in comparison, the Auchan Z6 iDD version in the same price range is indeed more richly equipped.

Power, Auchan Z6 iDD 150KM flagship PLUS intelligent parking version uses a plug-in hybrid system consisting of a 1.5T engine and electric motor, of which the engine has a maximum power of 166 hp and peak torque of 255N-m; the electric motor has a maximum power of 150 hp and peak torque of 330N-m, matched with a 6-speed three-clutch electric drive transmission; paired with it is a battery pack with a capacity of 28.4 The battery pack with a capacity of 28.4 kWh has a pure electric range of 150km under NEDC conditions.

 

The Song PLUS DM-i 110KM Flagship PLUS Edition is equipped with a plug-in hybrid system consisting of a 1.5L engine and electric motor, with the engine having a maximum power of 110 hp and peak torque of 135 N-m; the electric motor having a maximum power of 197 hp and peak torque of 325 N-m, matched with an E-CVT transmission; paired with a battery pack with a capacity of 18.3 kWh. The electric range under NEDC conditions is 110km.

 

In comparison, the Auchan Z6 iDD 150KM Flagship PLUS Smart Parking Edition has advantages in engine power, battery pack capacity, and pure electric range, while the Song PLUS DM-i 110KM Flagship PLUS Edition has advantages in electric motor power. Of course, the conclusion of which one has a better driving experience can only be made after the actual test drive.

 

Summary.

 

The overall strength of the Auchan Z6 iDD version is relatively outstanding, with a more aggressive appearance than the Song PLUS DM-i, a slight advantage in space performance, and a richer configuration at the same price, so it is still expected to become a dark horse in the market.

Of course, the simple parameters, shape, and configuration of the comparison are not always able to fully feedback the comprehensive strength; if you are torn between these two models, I still recommend a test drive before making a decision.
