The BYD Song Ultra EV has officially entered the pre-sales phase as the Chinese automaker expands its presence in the highly competitive mid-size electric SUV segment. The new model introduces advanced fast-charging technology, long driving range options, and intelligent driver assistance features designed to strengthen the brand's position in the rapidly evolving electric vehicle market.
BYD announced four variants of the vehicle with pre-sales starting prices of 155,000 yuan, 165,000 yuan, 175,000 yuan, and 185,000 yuan. The company plans to complete the official launch before the end of March. Customers who place orders during the pre-sales phase will also receive 18 months of complimentary flash-charging benefits.
New Addition to the Dynasty Electric SUV Lineup
The new model becomes the first B-segment pure electric SUV within BYD’s Dynasty series and expands the established Song vehicle family. The SUV targets buyers looking for a balance of performance, technology, and long-range electric mobility.
The vehicle features a mid-size SUV body with dimensions that support interior comfort and road stability.
- Length: 4,850 mm
- Width: 1,910 mm
- Height: 1,670 mm
- Wheelbase: 2,840 mm
This design positions the vehicle squarely within the growing mid-size electric SUV category.
Flash Charging and Blade Battery Technology
A major highlight of the model is its rapid charging capability enabled by BYD’s flash-charging system paired with the second-generation blade battery. The technology allows the battery to recharge from 10 percent to 70 percent in approximately five minutes.
According to official specifications, the battery can charge from 10 percent to 97 percent in roughly nine minutes under normal temperature conditions. Even in extremely cold environments around minus 30°C, the charging time increases by only about three minutes, demonstrating strong thermal performance.
The electric SUV is offered with two driving range configurations delivering CLTC ranges of 620 km and 710 km.
Performance and Powertrain
The vehicle uses a single rear-wheel-drive electric motor generating up to 270 kW of output and enabling a top speed of 210 km/h. This configuration aims to provide strong acceleration while maintaining efficient energy consumption for long-distance travel.
AI-Based Driver Assistance and Smart Features
Select variants of the SUV can be equipped with LiDAR sensors and BYD’s God’s Eye B intelligent driving system. The system is built on an end-to-end large AI model architecture combined with reinforcement learning algorithms to improve assisted driving performance in narrow streets and dense urban traffic.
Additional vehicle technologies include the DiSus-C intelligent body control system and a high-speed tire blowout stability system designed to maintain vehicle stability during sudden tire failure at speeds up to 140 km/h.
The interior integrates a 15.6-inch central touchscreen along with a four-zone voice interaction system. Comfort features such as seat ventilation, heating, and massage functions enhance the in-cabin experience.
As competition intensifies in China’s electric vehicle market, BYD is accelerating the introduction of models equipped with advanced charging and intelligent driving technologies, positioning this new SUV alongside other contenders in the fast-growing mid-size electric segment.
