Strengths
- The DM-i plug-in covers 80–125 km on electricity, then about 5.5–6.5 l/100km on petrol
- Very roomy rear seat and a soft, quiet ride for a family SUV
- Rich equipment for the price, and its low WLTP CO2 keeps Greek road tax minimal
Compromises
- The DM-i's boot (about 425 l) is clearly smaller than the EV's 552 l
- Vague steering and body roll; the EV only charges at about 115–140 kW for a 2-tonne car
Check before you buy
- On a DM-i, ask how it was charged: run mostly on petrol, real use is closer to 6–7 l/100km
- Confirm official Greek import and a registered warranty (8 years on the battery)
- Check the software is updated and that the switch from electric to engine is smooth
In Greece
BYD is still building its Greek network; the DM-i's petrol engine is simple, but check the nearest service point.
