On April 22, BYD Auto announced the launch of the 2026 BYD Song Pro DM-i "Feichi Edition."

In the first half of 2026, within China's electric vehicle market, two mid-to-large-sized SUVs in the 200,000–250,000 RMB price range are redefining the standards of "family mobility." The 2026 Leapmotor D19 makes a powerful entrance with a strategy of "comprehensive in-house R&D + democratized intelligent driving," setting new benchmarks for intelligence through its dual 8797 chips and VLA large language model. In contrast, the 2025 GEELY Galaxy M9—which has long held the top spot in sales among 200,000-level six-seater SUVs—adopts a steady, pragmatic approach centered on "three-row equality + ultra-long range," backed by a combined range of 1,505 km and a C-NCAP "Super 5-Star" safety rating. Both vehicles feature a six-seat layout, yet they pursue two distinctly different value propositions.
