With Expressive Growth and a New Plant in Brazil, BYD Bets on the Flex Hybrid Engine for Its Next National Launch, the Song Pro.

BYD, which has been standing out in the Brazilian market, is ready to take another big step. After an impressive 2024, with sales increasing by more than 565% year-to-date until October, the Chinese automaker plans to start local production of the Song Pro in Camaçari (BA). And the big news? The debut of the flex hybrid engine in the model.

BYD has already adapted the 1.5 DM-i aspirated engine, used in the Song Pro, Song Plus, and King models, to run on any mixture of gasoline and ethanol. This aligns the automaker’s technology with the particularities of the Brazilian market, where gasoline contains 27.5% ethanol—a percentage that is expected to increase in the coming years.

This adaptation also makes the engine more powerful when using ethanol, a fuel widely available in Brazil. Although the brand has not yet confirmed the exact numbers, it is estimated that the engine will gain about 5 horsepower when running on ethanol, maintaining the same power when using gasoline.

BYD Song Pro National and Flex Hybrid Engine: The Perfect Combination

Revolution in Brazil! BYD Brings Unprecedented Flex Hybrid Engine and Debuts in National Song Pro Produced in Camaçari

The Song Pro will be BYD’s first vehicle produced in Brazil. Initial production, in CKD format (with imported parts), is expected to start in late 2024. In the first quarter of 2025, the Camaçari plant will begin series production, marking the arrival of the national Song Pro equipped with the flex hybrid engine.

The 1.5 aspirated engine from the DM-i family, already known for its efficiency in the Atkinson cycle, will be available in a flex version for the Brazilian market. Additionally, there is an expectation that the plug-in hybrid model will be the first of its kind with this technology in Brazil, reinforcing BYD’s commitment to innovation.

What to Expect from the Future of the Chinese Brand in Brazil

The advancements do not stop there. BYD is also studying adapting the 1.5 turbo DM-i engine for flex technology. This version, already used in the Shark pickup, may find applications in hybrid SUVs and other plug-in models from the brand, such as the Seal U, which is expected to debut in 2025.

The Seal U is a version of the Song Plus with design inspired by the electric sedan Seal and hybrid performance nearing 300 hp combined.

With these moves, BYD not only strengthens its presence in the Brazilian market but also bets on technologies aligned with local demands, such as the flex hybrid engine. The debut of the national Song Pro will be a milestone, consolidating the brand as a reference in innovation and sustainability in Brazil.

BYD is keeping an eye on the future and promises to keep surprising. The national production of the Song Pro, equipped with the flex hybrid engine, shows that the Chinese automaker is prepared to lead the market with technologies that meet both local needs and global trends. The next chapter of this story begins in 2025, straight from the Camaçari plant.

A Toyota tem o Prius flex no bolso mas não tem a coragem de colocar aqui. Com a falta de estrutura de pontos de reabastecimento seria a solução imediata para eletrificação. Depois choram isenções do governo.

What to Expect from the Future of the Chinese Brand in Brazil

At over 8,800 meters above sea level, the summit of Mount Everest is made up of rocks that originated at the bottom of an ocean about 500 million years ago and were pushed to the highest point on Earth by the collision of tectonic plates.

A new Brazilian shopping center worth R$ 400 million will be built in an area equivalent to more than 4 football fields, featuring 90 stores, 5 cinemas, a supermarket, a college, and parking for 1,700 cars, potentially generating 3,000 jobs.

Made from recycled plastic, plastic wood is gaining space in the construction industry because it does not rot, resists moisture, and reduces maintenance costs over the years.

China is not joking around and is secretly expanding its nuclear weapons infrastructure: a giant dome the size of 13 city blocks, 600 warheads, destroyed villages, and a modernized military network in record time in China, says CNN.

China accelerates global science and may surpass the United States in 2 years with increased public investment, continuous growth, and direct impact on the global technological competition.

An irregular parking case gains attention after a Mercedes Classe A was removed in such a strange way that it even raised doubts about damage to the car.

Goodbye iron and wrinkled clothes: LG’s smart wardrobe uses TrueSteam vapor, hangers that vibrate up to 180 times per minute, and cycles of 20 to 30 minutes to remove odors and reduce wrinkles without washing.

In Venezuela, an area around Lake Maracaibo records the highest concentration of lightning on Earth, with about 250 strikes per km² per year and storms that light up the sky for up to 297 nights, driven by the humidity from the Caribbean and mountains that trap the air.

More than 20,000 km² of wheat fields form nearly perfect lines and geometric shapes in Montana, creating an agricultural pattern so symmetrical that the landscape looks like an abstract artwork visible from space.

Trapped between layers of lava for 44 million years, an ancient tropical island in the Atlantic is back on the map and puts Brazil in contention for valuable minerals on the seabed.
