Launch of the BYD SUV, the BYD Song, Scheduled for June in Brazil Promises a Range of Up to 100 km in Electric Mode
BYD is shaking up the Brazilian market with its dynamic launch schedule for 2024. Following the arrival of the Dolphin Mini and the delay of the five-seat subcompact, the brand is preparing to launch the Song Pro, its second hybrid car in Brazil. Set to arrive between June and July, the mid-size SUV will be offered in two versions, with prices in the range of R$ 200 thousand, directly competing with models like the hybrid Toyota Corolla Cross and the upcoming Tiggo 7 PHEV, according to the website Autoesporte.
Despite the proximity of the launch, BYD is still keeping the Song Pro under wraps, maintaining suspense about its final design. However, recent sightings indicate that the vehicle is in an advanced testing phase, as was the case with a unit spotted on the streets of Uberlândia (MG).
Same Price Range but Different from the Toyota Corolla Cross: Meet the Song Plus and the Song Pro
The Song Pro is, in fact, an earlier version of the SUV launched in China in 2019, which has undergone two facelifts. This version will arrive in Brazil at a lower price, about 10% to 15% cheaper than the Song Plus. In addition to the price, the differences between the two models include size, with the Song Pro offering 4.74 meters in length, a wheelbase of 2.65 m, and a width of 1.86 m, slightly smaller than the Song Plus.

Jaecoo 7 with super hybrid SHS system exceeds 1,200 km of combined range with a 1.5 turbo engine, high-density battery, and intelligent energy management.
However, the mechanical set of the Song Pro will be the same as that of the Song Plus, with a 1.5 naturally aspirated engine delivering 110 hp that mainly serves as a generator, connected to an electric motor with 194 hp. Combined, they deliver 235 hp of power and 40.8 kgfm of torque.
Two Versions with Different Battery Sizes
The BYD Song Pro will be offered in two versions, differentiated by battery size. The entry-level variant will have an 8.3 kWh battery, ensuring a range of 50 km on the Chinese standard. The more expensive version will have a larger battery, of 18.3 kWh, providing an electric range of nearly 100 km.
In terms of equipment, both versions of the BYD Song SUV will be equivalent, including digital air conditioning, multimedia center with a rotating screen, digital instrument cluster, leather seats, and a driving assistance package.
Design and Finishing
The design of the BYD Song Pro SUV maintains the brand’s visual identity, but with some differences compared to the Song Plus. The front grille does not have a hexagonal shape, the headlights are less cut out, and the taillights are narrower. The trunk lid of the BYD Song also has a different design, with a straight base instead of a cutout for the license plate niche.
With a competitive price, advanced hybrid technology, and modern design, the BYD Song Pro promises to be a interesting option in the electric SUV market in Brazil. Its imminent launch will certainly be eagerly awaited by consumers looking for a sustainable and efficient option.
