BYD Super DM Hybrid Technology

BYD Super DM (Dual Mode) Technology marks a major advancement in intelligent plug-in hybrid (PHEV) systems. Exclusively designed by BYD, it offers a range of benefits, including greater energy efficiency, lower fuel consumption, improved driving performance, and outstanding comfort.

How is BYD Super DM different?

BYD Super DM Technology sets itself apart from other PHEV systems with its electric-centric hybrid architecture. This advanced design primarily utilises a high-power motor and a large-capacity battery, with the engine serving as supplementary support. The system is designed for maximum efficiency and seamlessly adapts to various driving conditions.

What are the benefits?

When fully charged, the vehicle operates entirely on electric power. As the battery depletes, it effortlessly shifts to an ultra-efficient hybrid mode, prioritising electric energy while minimising fuel usage. This strategy enhances environmental sustainability, boosts energy efficiency, and reduces fuel consumption. It also ensures a quiet, comfortable driving experience, combined with impressive power performance and responsiveness.

The three core components of Super DM Technology

BYD Super DM technology is made up of three core components:

Electric Hybrid System (EHS)

The Electric Hybrid System (EHS) features a highly integrated powertrain, incorporating high-speed dual motors, dual controllers, and cutting-edge oil-cooling technology, all engineered to maximise motor power density and efficiency.

PEAK POWER:
145 kW / 150 kW

PEAK TORQUE:
300Nm

High-Speed Dual Motors
The EHS is equipped with powerful high-speed dual motors, capable of reaching up to 15,000 rpm. The P1 motor generates power, while the P3 motor drives the wheels, delivering exceptional performance across diverse driving conditions.  

Hairpin Motor Technology
By employing advanced hairpin technology, the EHS greatly improves heat dissipation, achieving peak efficiency of up to 97% and maintaining stability above 90% under most operating conditions.  

Oil Cooling Technology
The system utilises oil cooling technology to directly address heat sources, enhancing dissipation efficiency and increasing motor power density to a maximum of 5.5 kW/kg.  

Highly Integrated Dual-Motor Controller
Leveraging IGBT technology, the dual-motor controller maximises electronic control efficiency, reaching an impressive rate of 98.9%.

Xiaoyun 1.5L/1.5T Hybrid engine

The Xiaoyun engine is uniquely designed for Super DM Technology, combining outstanding thermal efficiency with a compact and streamlined structure. This innovative design enhances power output, providing impressive peak power and torque.

A large capacity Blade Battery

BYD Super DM Technology integrates a customised version of the renowned Blade Battery, tailored for the hybrid platform. Starting at 18.3 kWh, these specialised batteries provide a pure electric range of up to 43 miles. Key advantages include:  

Enhanced Safety
The Blade Battery has passed the stringent Nail Penetration Test without igniting or emitting smoke, delivering exceptional safety standards.  

Optimised Strength
Each cell is arranged in a single pack, acting as a structural beam to resist external forces. Its aluminium honeycomb-like structure is reinforced with high-strength panels on both the top and bottom, significantly improving vertical rigidity.  

Extended Range
With a 50% improvement in space utilisation compared to conventional battery packs, the Blade Battery achieves higher energy density, extending the vehicle's range.  

Longevity
Engineered for durability, the Blade Battery boasts a lifespan exceeding 5,000 charge and discharge cycles.

A Superb All-Round Experience

BYD Super DM Technology revolutionises eco-friendly travel by blending exceptional energy efficiency and fuel economy with rapid, responsive acceleration and a smooth, quiet driving experience.

Economical: Energy Efficient, Low Fuel Consumption

BYD Super DM Technology is designed to deliver outstanding energy efficiency and reduced fuel consumption, making it the perfect low-carbon option for eco-conscious drivers. The specialised Xiaoyun 1.5L hybrid engine features an industry-leading thermal efficiency of 43.04%*, with a high-efficiency zone reaching up to 80%. This cutting-edge technology achieves impressive fuel consumption as low as 6 litres per 62 miles. Paired with a highly efficient electric motor boasting a 97% efficiency rate, it offers a pure electric driving range of up to 43 miles. The combined system provides a reassuring total range of over 621 miles across various conditions. (*CATARC certification data)

Fast: Exhilarating, Responsive and Dynamic

BYD Super DM Technology effortlessly combines power and efficiency to elevate every journey. With a total system output of up to 238 kW, it offers a dynamic driving experience, delivering impressive performance, rapid acceleration, and agile responsiveness. The 0-100 km/h acceleration is on par with that of a 2.0T engine, while the electric motor provides an exceptional response time of just 10 milliseconds, ensuring unmatched precision in driving dynamics.

Quiet: Bringing Serenity to Journeys

The electric-focused architecture of BYD Super DM Technology ensures a quiet and serene driving experience, turning the cabin into a peaceful sanctuary. Noise levels are dramatically reduced as the vehicle glides effortlessly, whether navigating city streets or cruising on the highway. This seamless combination of power, efficiency, and superior noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) management guarantees exceptional comfort throughout your journey.

Smooth: Exceptional Ride Comfort

BYD Super DM Technology delivers an exceptionally smooth ride, similar to that of a fully electric vehicle. The Electric Hybrid System is designed for simplicity, providing seamless gear shifts that enhance driving ease and ensure a high level of comfort throughout your journey.
