The previously exposed BYD Song PLUS is expected to make its debut at the Chengdu Auto Show on July 24th.
As a brand new five-seat SUV model, Song PLUS is larger than the Song Pro with three dimensions of 4705 * 1890 * 1680 mm and a wheelbase of 2765 mm. At present, the MIIT declaration information for Song PLUS includes both petrol and pure electric versions.
The pure electric version will be equipped with BYD’s latest blade battery, with two NDEC ranges of 405 km and 505 km respectively. In terms of power, the pure electric version of Song PLUS will be equipped with BYD’s third-generation permanent magnet synchronous motor, with a motor power of 120 kW for the NEDC range of 405 km version and 135 kW for the NEDC range of 505 km version.
In terms of exterior design, the pure electric version of Song PLUS continues BYD’s recent dragon face design style.
As for the interior, Song PLUS adopts a brand new design, which is similar to that of the Han model, and looks pretty good from the rendered images and spy photos circulating on the Internet.
Currently, the best-selling model for BYD is the petrol version of Song Pro. In May, the sales data from the CPCA showed that the wholesale volume was 16,358 units, while the pure electric version was only insured for 380 units. Do you think the brand new Song PLUS will improve this situation？
