Crossover with BYD Seal platform and electric motors, but with advanced technologies such as biometric reading, elevated suspension and fast charging.

The BYD Song L is based on the BYD Seal platform, but with raised (and adaptive) suspension and a four-door coupe-style body, in addition to the same electric motors as the Seal. In short, the most powerful and sporty Song is still new in China, where it debuted in mid-November with prices between 189.800 yuan (R$132.409 in direct conversion) and 249.800 yuan (R$174.266). But don't get your hopes up: BYD Song L is not yet confirmed as one of the company's future releases. manufacturer in Brazil.

The BYD Song L is a electric crossover of advanced technology with a lot of power. With elevated (and adaptive) suspension and a four-door coupe-style body, the Song L promises to revolutionize the market as an advanced technology vehicle. In short, the BYD Song L is a powerful and sporty option that can surprise the most demanding consumers.

BYD Song L: An Advanced Technology Electric Crossover

We met Song L at an event at BYD headquarters in Shenzhen, China. The model is manufactured right there and was even used to demonstrate future BYD technologies, such as unlocking the doors using the biometric hand reading, but it was possible to understand his proposal.

The BYD Song L, a hybrid electric vehicle, is part of the Dinasty lineup and would occupy the gap between the Yuan Plus and Song Plus and the top-of-the-line Tan and Han models. In practice, the electric crossover is more sophisticated than the Seal.

What is BYD Song L like

The advanced technology vehicle is based on BYD Seal's e-Platform 3.0 platform, which uses the battery as a structural part of the car, increasing its torsional rigidity. It is 4,84 m long, 1,95 m wide and has a wheelbase of 2,93 m. Despite the moldings on the wheel arches, the ground clearance is 15,6 cm – compared to 12 cm for the Seal.

The front has elements from the Dinasty line, such as the false grille integrating the full-LED headlights. On the sides of the front bumper, there are inlets that channel air to the front wheels. The lower air intake is active, opens only when necessary, and surrounds the radar and front camera.

On the side, the moldings on the wheel arches are narrow and have a glossy black finish, as do the columns – thus, the (glass) roof appears to float. The cool thing is that the doors don't have a frame for the side windows (which are double, laminated), like in traditional coupes.

The rear has sports car elements, such as vertical brake lights integrated into the upper spoiler. This is because there is an active spoiler on the trunk lid, which opens at 90 km/h to increase stability – like in some Porsche and Audi, for example. It also has a fog light in the extractor, at the base of the bumper, like in racing cars.

The interior of the BYD Song L follows the minimalist style present in other models of the brand, but still incorporates physical buttons – three of them, made of crystal. The presence of a set of buttons for auxiliary systems around the gear selector stands out. The steering wheel also has an interesting design, with side spokes and physical buttons.

The digital instrument panel is 10,35 inches but there is a head-up display with 3D projection the equivalent of 50 inches in front of the driver. The rotating multimedia center is 15,6 inches. In column A is a facial recognition camera to identify the driver.

The console has a cooled 50W wireless charger and under it is the storage compartment with USB ports and a memory card slot. This is where images from cameras that record traffic, already integrated into the car, are stored.

The finish is good, including the panel surfaces. In the back, there is no problem with head or leg room and whoever sits on the right side can control the seat in front to increase space, using side controls – as in the Han sedan. Between the front seats, a 5,8-inch screen controls the rear air conditioning (which can disperse perfume).

The Song L also has a Dynaudio HiFi sound system with 12 speakers, Wi-Fi network with 5G data modem and 11 airbags. According to BYD, 83,5% of the structure is made up of high-strength steel, aluminum and composite materials.

Another highlight of the car is the Disus-C suspension, which controls the response of the shock absorbers in real time to make the ride more comfortable, or adapt to driving modes or cornering, acceleration and braking situations.

BYD Song L engines and versions

The BYD Song L, an electric crossover, is sold in China in five versions, four of which have a rear engine. Of these, two have a 203 hp rear engine (0 to 100 km/h in 8,6 seconds) and use the 71,8 kWh Blade battery, with 550 km of autonomy, while the other two have 313 hp (0 to 100 km/h in 6,9 s) and the 87 kWh package that increases the range to 662 km.

Only the top-of-the-line version has two engines with SiC technology, which increases its power to 517 hp and torque to 68,3 kgfm. Even with the largest battery, its autonomy is 602 km. It reaches 100 km/h in half the time, in 4,3 seconds, with the help of a torque vectoring system. The maximum speed is 201 km/h.

More advanced, the BYD Song L already accepts fast loading with power of up to 140 kW and also provides 6kW in the V2L function, which allows you to power a home or electrical appliances.

BYD Dolphin Mini: R$100.000 ELECTRIC CAR is better than it looks The launch of the BYD Dolphin messed up the price range of the cheapest electric cars in Brazil, back in mid-2023. The BYD Dolphin Mini, which debuts right after Carnival , has the potential to disrupt even the compact car segment with a 1.0 engine.
