BYD Sea Lion 07DM -Hybrid PHEV

The exterior is sleek and大气, especially the straight and硬朗 side lines, but the front face is average and not very stunning. The interior is good; the only drawback is that there's only one color option. The space is definitely large enough, and the configuration is high-end. The pure electric range should reach 180 kilometers for normal commuting (average speed of 70 km/h), but since it强制 switches to HEV when the battery drops below 20%, I haven't tested the range by running pure electric until 0%. The electric consumption is higher during low-speed commuting in urban areas. It drives quietly and silently; those used to gasoline cars might not get used to it at first. The power is sufficient in my opinion. Acceleration in pure electric comfort mode is linear and not abrupt. When accelerating to 160 km/h in hybrid mode on the highway, it feels very stable with low noise, and there's no sense of panic. The highway intelligent driving was nerve-wracking at first, but later felt very stable. The only issue is that it brakes when a car overtakes from the side. The lane-keeping assist on national roads is also relatively stable, but the following distance from the vehicle ahead is always kept quite far, which doesn't fit my habits and seems overly cautious. Overall, I'm very satisfied!

After looking at cars for a long time, my goal was clear: a mid-size SUV, and only domestic brands. Finally, I picked up the Haisi 07 DM-i. I haven't had it for long, so first, let me talk about the minor drawbacks I currently feel: the A-pillar blind spot is too large, and the rearview mirrors are too small, but both can be adjusted through the driving settings.

The exterior is very beautiful,耐看, and doesn't show dirt easily. The rear seats and trunk are very spacious. The seats are especially comfortable, no arguments there. The sound system is good, the interior quietness is excellent, and driving control is very easy.

I haven't used the intelligent driving feature yet, so I don't know how it is.

Personally, considering the price, appearance, comfort, driving experience, and configuration, this car is my first choice. It would be perfect if it had a pure electric range of 200 kilometers.
