For most Filipino families, the car is more than just transportation — it’s part of daily life. It takes us to work, brings the kids to school, joins us on road trips, and gets us home safely every night. But with today’s rising fuel prices and busy roads, driving can sometimes feel like a burden.
That’s where BYD’s DM-i technology makes a difference.
DM-i, which stands for Dual Mode Intelligent, is BYD’s smart energy management system that automatically decides how your car should use power in the most efficient way possible. It’s called “dual mode” because it works with both electric power and a gasoline engine — switching between the two smoothly and intelligently, depending on your driving situation.
When you’re in slow-moving city traffic, DM-i uses mostly electric power, letting you drive quietly and save on fuel. When you speed up or go uphill, it seamlessly activates the gasoline engine to give you extra strength and performance. You won’t even notice the change — it all happens automatically, giving you the perfect balance of efficiency and power without any effort.
This means you get the best of both worlds: the comfort and savings of electric driving, and the confidence of a fuel engine when you need it. No charging stops, no complicated settings — just a car that adjusts to your lifestyle and driving needs.
For Filipino families who love weekend getaways, DM-i technology also shines on the open road. It provides a longer driving range, fewer refueling stops, and a smoother, quieter ride — perfect for trips from Manila to Tagaytay, Baguio, or even farther north or south.
Beyond efficiency, it’s about peace of mind. The drive is smoother, quieter, and more eco-friendly. You save money in the long run, but more importantly, you get to spend more time enjoying the journey with your loved ones — not worrying about fuel or charging stations.
BYD’s DM-i technology proves that smart driving doesn’t have to be complicated. It’s a simple, practical solution made for Filipino families who want to move forward with comfort, confidence, and care for the environment.
Because in the end, every journey matters — and BYD DM-i makes each one smarter, smoother, and truly for the family.
