The BYD Song Ultra EV has officially launched, with four trim levels available at prices ranging from 151,900 to 179,900 yuan. The new model is equipped with BYD’s second-generation Blade Battery and Flash Charge technology, offering a maximum CLTC range of 710 km. Additionally, the vehicle offers an optional “Eye of the Sky B” laser-assisted driving system, which supports features such as City Pilot and all-scenario intelligent parking assistance.
Exterior-wise, the front fascia continues the brand’s design language with minimalist lines. The front end features clean lines that create a forward-looking stance, paired with a black grille to enhance depth and dimensionality. The vehicle is equipped with elongated headlights that blend seamlessly with the front fascia. The sharp, slightly upward-sweeping full-width daytime running lights naturally connect with the headlights and the hood’s creases, creating a dynamic, orderly breathing light welcome effect. In terms of exterior colors, the vehicle offers six options: Fire Rock Gray, Snow Mountain White, Smoky Purple, Star River Beige, Palm Green, and Obsidian Black.
On the side profile, the vehicle features a three-segment wing-like character line. The three-segment recessed creases on the front and rear wheel arches further enhance the three-dimensional wrapping effect around the wheel arches. The floating roof is achieved through a blacked-out D-pillar, paired with a straight roofline that not only enhances the vehicle’s sportiness and modernity but also maximizes rear headroom. In terms of details, the new model will be equipped with 19-inch low-drag wheels. By simplifying decorative elements and optimizing the area of the trim panels, the vehicle effectively reduces its drag coefficient and improves driving range.
At the rear, the new model features a full, robust silhouette with a balanced and stable design devoid of unnecessary complex lines, echoing the front fascia. The full-width, flowing “Chinese Knot” taillights draw inspiration from traditional Chinese knot design, with the BYD logo prominently displayed at the center of the light strip. The roof is equipped with an integrated spoiler, further emphasizing its youthful and dynamic character. In terms of dimensions, the Song Ultra EV (Specs | Inquiry) is positioned as a midsize SUV, with a length, width, and height of 4,850/1,910/1,670 mm, and a wheelbase of 2,840 mm.
Inside, the vehicle features a 15.6-inch adaptive rotating central touchscreen, a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, and a 26-inch W-HUD, all powered by the new UI 7.0 infotainment system. The interior design draws inspiration from minimalist aesthetics, emphasizing warm textures and the artistic concept of “negative space,” and is available in two color schemes: Sea Salt Gray and Twilight Cloud Gray. In terms of materials, high-contact areas in the cabin are wrapped in soft-touch materials, while the door trim panels feature a silver-threaded armor-forged texture. For details, the vehicle features an integrated electronic gear selector, the passenger side panel is equipped with intelligent 3D depth-of-field ambient lighting, and the air vents adopt a cloud-window-blade design.
For the seats, the new model offers ventilation, heating, and 10-point independent massage functions. The driver’s seat features 8-way power adjustment, the front passenger seat offers 4-way power adjustment, the front passenger leg rest provides 2-way power adjustment, and both driver and front passenger seats include 4-way power-adjustable lumbar support. Additionally, the vehicle is equipped with a “Queen’s Seat” for the front passenger. Both the driver’s and front passenger’s seats can be individually switched to a fully reclined position or folded down with a single button, seamlessly connecting to the second-row seats to form a flat load floor. The rear seats support a 40/60 split-folding configuration. In terms of features, the Song Ultra EV is equipped with a smart climate-controlled storage compartment, with cooling temperatures ranging from -6°C to 15°C and heating temperatures from 35°C to 50°C. Additionally, the vehicle features a 150L front storage compartment with tap-to-unlock functionality. Under normal conditions, the trunk capacity is 730L, and when the rear seats are folded down, the capacity can be expanded to a maximum of 1,659L.
In terms of driver assistance, the Song Ultra EV also offers the optional “Eye of the Sky B” driver assistance system with laser technology (DiPilot 300). Eye of the Sky 5.0 features the latest large-scale model version, which builds upon a fully closed-loop, end-to-end architecture and incorporates enhanced machine learning capabilities. The vehicle will support features such as City Navigation Assist (CNOA), Highway Navigation Assist (HNOA), and All-Scenario Intelligent Parking Assist. Additionally, the entire lineup will come standard with seven airbags, including six conventional airbags and a front-row side curtain airbag.
In terms of powertrain, the entire lineup features a single-motor all-electric system with maximum power outputs of 240 kW and 270 kW, respectively, and peak torque of 305 N·m. For the battery, the vehicle will be equipped with BYD’s second-generation Blade Battery, with capacities of 68.4 kWh and 82.7 kWh, respectively, and CLTC pure electric ranges of 620 km and 710 km. Charging from 10% to 70% takes just 5 minutes, and from 10% to 97% takes only 9 minutes. Additionally, the Song Ultra EV comes standard across the lineup with the YunNian-C Intelligent Damping Chassis Control System, which includes the TBC High-Speed Run-Flat Stability System.
Positioned in the highly competitive core market for mid-size electric SUVs priced between ￥150,000 and ￥200,000, the Song Ultra EV boasts key advantages such as standard ultra-fast charging technology, second-generation Blade Batteries, and the YunNian-C Intelligent Chassis. Its competitors include the Leapmotor C11, the Saic H5, and the Xpeng G6. The price ranges of these models overlap almost entirely with that of the Song Ultra EV; all are positioned as pure-electric midsize SUVs targeting the family market. Compared to its core competitors, the Song Ultra EV offers a lower price point, superior charging efficiency, and greater interior space and comfort. However, its advanced driver-assistance systems require an additional upgrade, and its overall performance in this area may not match that of competitors from Xpeng or Huawei—though this remains to be confirmed in future evaluations. Overall, the Song Ultra EV is precisely tailored to the mainstream consumer group that prioritizes family travel, practicality, reliability, and ownership costs, establishing a strong competitive edge in the ￥150,000–￥200,000 electric SUV market.
