BYD recently launched refreshes of its DM-I models for 2026. Most recently the Qin L, Song L, and Song Pro. Typically, BYD refreshes models in 1Q when sales are seasonably depressed in China. However, BYD has essentially refreshed its entire DM-I lineup out of cycle. This will let every model qualify for the revised 5% purchase tax exemption next year. It also means entry level models have moved up from roughly equivalent range of a Chevy Volt to approximately a first generation LEAF (~133 km). Meanwhile, their more premium models have increased to 200-250 km of EV-only range. Beyond the EV-range, these models use the electric motor as the primary means of propulsion. That already made them superior to ICE-centric PHEV’s that engage the engine regularly for moderate acceleration or highway operation, regardless of range rating. The new models now have enough range to cover daily driving on battery power alone, typically not needing to be charged daily.This added EV capability tends to come with upgraded interiors and additional features. BYD’s active dampening DiSus-C suspension is now standard on more models. The Song L DM-I was also updated with semi-hidden door handles, ahead of the anticipated ban on pop-out door handles in China. Features like HUD, heated/ventilated/massaging seats and onboard refrigerators come standard on more trim levels. Looking through the spec sheets on the BYD’s Chinese website, the cars have significantly improved while prices have stayed largely the same… but intelligent driving was dropped from some models.

Tesla, once the EV leader, is losing market share in China, Europe, and the US due to fierce competition from BYD, Ford, and others, alongside regulatory hurdles and price wars. Internal issues like production delays and Elon Musk's divided focus compound financial woes. A strategic reset is essential for recovery.
