The Chinese Brand’s Hybrid SUV Offers a Range of 1,100 km and Performance of Over 220 hp, with a Special Price for Taxi Drivers Until the End of October, Making It One of the Most Advantageous Options in the Segment in 2025.
BYD has launched a commercial action that makes the Song Pro GL 2026 accessible to taxi drivers for R$ 132,990 until October 31.
The amount represents a discount of R$ 57,000 off the retail price of R$ 189,990.
In practice, the plug-in hybrid SUV costs the same as a high-end compact hatch, with the advantage of offering a more advanced mechanical set, larger dimensions, and a broader technology package.

BYD’s electric car with 530 hp and 0-100 in 3.8 s costs R$ 270,000: absurd silence, real range close to 430 km, charging 20-80% in 25 min, but without a spare tire and high IPVA.

A dealership in the USA highlights the gap with Brazil: 2024 RAV4 for $31,000, 2022 Silverado for $32,000, and 2024 GMC 2500 diesel for $63,000, while equivalent SUVs and pickups cost much more in Brazil.

It seems crazy, but mechanics are pouring concrete inside purpose-built engine blocks, and the reason will change everything you thought you knew about high-performance engine preparation.

BYD was caught testing 1,500 kW chargers in China that are three times more powerful than Tesla’s, and the system promises to recharge electric cars in minutes with energy that costs less than one real per kilowatt-hour.
The conditions are valid specifically for taxi professionals and last until the end of October, or while stocks last.
Promotional Price and Market Reference
With the discount aimed at taxi drivers, the Song Pro GL is priced similarly to a Hyundai HB20 with full equipment and metallic paint.
Market tables published throughout 2025 indicate HB20 versions in the range of R$ 120,000 to R$ 130,000 in the most complete configurations, making the price comparison direct in this specific segment.
The comparison is limited to the purchase price, as they are vehicles from distinct categories, with different proposals and usage costs.
Hybrid Set and Performance
The Song Pro GL combines a 1.5 gasoline engine with a front electric motor.
Official data indicates 98 hp and 12.4 kgfm for the combustion engine and 197 hp and 30.6 kgfm for the electric motor.
The combined power is 223 hp and the combined torque reaches 40.8 kgfm.
The transmission is of the DHT type (dedicated hybrid gearing) and the drive is front-wheel.
In declared performance, the acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h occurs in 8.3 seconds and the top speed is 170 km/h.
Battery, Range, and Consumption
The Blade battery has 12.9 kWh in the GL configuration.
In 100% electric use, the SUV travels up to 39 km according to the Inmetro standard.
With a full tank and battery, the combined range reaches 1,100 km in ideal conditions, according to BYD.
Figures vary according to topography, temperature, driving mode, and fuel quality.
Size and Usage Proposal
Although the promotional price rivals that of a hatch, the Song Pro is a mid-size SUV with more space for passengers and luggage.
The body measures just over 4.7 meters in length and the trunk exceeds 500 liters, features that favor professional taxi use in urban routes and airports.
In addition to the space, the hybrid system prioritizes electric operation at low and medium loads, reducing consumption and noise during urban travel.
Standard Equipment and Technologies
In the GL version, the package includes full-LED headlights with automatic activation and dynamic turn signals.
The 8.8-inch digital panel works together with the 12.8-inch rotating multimedia center, featuring native navigation and integrated apps.
There are 360° cameras, front and rear parking sensors, cruise control, electromechanical parking brake with Auto Hold, and electric tailgate.
Among the comforts, you will find dual-zone digital air conditioning with rear vents, synth leather seats, and voice commands.
The model accepts digital key via NFC, allowing you to lock, unlock, and start the vehicle with a compatible smartphone or watch.
Useful Items for Daily Work
For professional use, the list includes 18-inch wheels, mirrors with electric folding and heating, and external charging (V2L), which allows powering external equipment with battery energy.
The active driving assistance (ADAS) system includes alerts and interventions that help mitigate risks in heavy traffic.
Conditions for Taxi Drivers and Warranty
The offer is exclusive to properly registered taxi drivers, with direct invoicing in the name of the professional.
The promotional period goes until October 31, 2025.
The warranty for the vehicle is six years with no mileage limit, and the battery warranty is eight years.
These periods help to dilute costs over the usage cycle and increase resale value.
Comparison with the Hyundai HB20
The Hyundai HB20 continues to be among the best-selling hatches in the country.
In the Platinum and Platinum Safety 1.0 Turbo versions, the model can reach R$ 128,000, depending on packages and colors.
With BYD’s promotion aimed at taxis, the Song Pro GL offers a plug-in hybrid SUV with more power, technology, and range for a similar price.
Still, the HB20 maintains lower maintenance and insurance costs, which might make a difference for those who do not fit the conditions of the campaign.
What to Evaluate Before the Purchase
Even with the reduced price, it’s important to confirm availability at dealerships, billing time, documentation required for taxi drivers, and regional tax variations.
It’s also worth considering charging infrastructure, as exploring the 39 km in electric mode increases savings and comfort for passengers.
Finally, test ergonomics, visibility, and luggage space with the equipment you use daily.
With price, range, and equipment package at this level, the Song Pro GL makes sense for taxi service under current conditions, but in your routine, does it reduce cost per kilometer enough to justify the choice over smaller options?
Sempre tem essas “comparações”… oras… um HB20 também tem desconto pra taxista… acredito que não seja esse o valor final (120 a 130). Outra comparação tem que ser no mesmo seguimento de vendas. Ou será que um cliente comum tem esses descontos? Claro que não.
