The BYD Song L EV is a battery electric mid-size crossover SUV manufactured by BYD Auto since 2023. Part of the BYD Song family under the 'Dynasty Series' product line-up, the Song L has the largest footprint among other Song vehicles. While the vehicle shares the same name with the BYD Song L DM-i, both models have minimal relation in styling and mechanical components.

The Song L occupies the Chinese B-class category, or D-segment globally. It is based on the e-Platform 3.0 shared with other BYD battery electric vehicles such as the Seal.

The model was first showcased as a prototype model in April 2023 at the Shanghai Auto Show.[3] The production version was introduced in August 2023 at the Chengdu Auto Show,[4] with pre-sales starting in November 2023.[5]

Overview

The Song L design features BYD's updated 'Dragon Face' design language. With a low roof design, electric rear wing and hidden door handles, BYD claims the Song L has a coefficient of drag as low as 0.255 Cd.[6] It is marketed in both front-motor two-wheel drive and dual-motor four-wheel drive versions that are integrated with CTB (cell-to-body) battery technology and BYD's DiSus suspension system.[7] [8]

The line-up is available in single and dual-motor versions. Single motor versions has either 1500NaN0 or 2300NaN0 of peak power, while the dual-motor version adds a 1500NaN0 front motor for 3800NaN0 combined maximum power output. Powered by BYD's Blade battery (71.8 kWh or 87.04 kWh), the single motor is rated at 5500NaN0 or 6620NaN0 of range, respectively. The dual-motor version is powered by an 87.04 kWh Blade battery with 6020NaN0 of CLTC range. The top speed is limited at 2010NaN0.[9]

The Song L is equipped with a 12-speaker Dynaudio audio system, NFC card, 10.25-inch LCD instrument panel, a 15.6-inch central control screen, a 50-inch AR head-up display with BYD's DiLink latest operating system and DiPilot advanced driver-assistance system.[10] [11]
