The all-new BYD Song Pro was revealed by the Chinese regulator (MIIT). This mid-size crossover adopts the brand’s signature Dragon Face design language and the fifth-generation DM plug-in hybrid powertrain.
The first information about the Song Pro appeared online in February 2024. According to the leaked BYD product planning, the company scheduled the launch of this model for July 2024. Later, the new Song Pro was seen in China during road tests wearing heavy camouflage. And today, the BYD applied for the sales license of this SUV. As a result, its core specs were exposed.
BYD Song Pro exterior and dimensions
The outline of the BYD Song Pro stays in line with the old model (see specs). For example, it has a distinctive line that crosses its body from head to tail. The Song Pro has the same plastic trim around the lower part of the body, and a slightly slanted roofline. From the side, it is hard to tell it is a really new model. However, it is all about the front end.
The new Song Pro adopts the Dragon Face design language with two thin headlights joined by a chrome-plated element with 宋 (Song) hieroglyph. Its front bumper has a sizable trapeze-shaped grille and sporty air intakes. The front ‘mask’ of the Song Pro forms an X-shaped design.
The BYD Song Pro didn’t change much from the back. It still has a single taillight unit. But the “Build Your Dreams” inscription under that taillight was replaced by a simple BYD badge. The Song Pro also has a more minimalistic rear bumper.
According to the regulator’s filling, the new Song Pro measures at 4735/1860/1710 mm with a wheelbase of 2712 mm. So, it is 3 mm shorter than the old model. Its front and rear tracks are 1565 mm. The new Song Pro has approach and departure angles of 18 and 22 degrees, respectively. Front and rear overhangs are 1008 mm and 1015 mm.
BYD Song Pro specs
The BYD Song Pro adopts the BYD’s fifth-gen DM powertrain system. It has a 1.5-liter naturally-aspirated BYD472QC engine for 74 kW (99 hp) paired with a TZ210XYB 160 kW (215 hp) synchronous permanent magnet electric motor made by BYD.
The new Song Pro has an LFP Blade battery on board made by BYD subsidiary FinDreams. Its capacity reaches 18.3 kWh, suitable for 93 km of range. This pack is also quite heavy at 181 kg. As a result, the curb weight of the new BYD Song reaches 1765 kg. However, it is 15 kg lighter than the old Song Pro with an 18.3 kWh battery. It is worth mentioning the old model also has less range – 85 km (WLTC).
According to a registration filling, BYD can assemble the new Song Pro at factories in Changsha, Hefei, Jinan, Zhengzhou, and Shenzhen. The old model is assembled in Jinan and Zhengzhou. The new Song Pro will make its official debut this month. Its price range will be 110,000 – 150,000 yuan (15,150 – 20,700 USD).
