Chronology
SuccessorBYD Sealion 06 (China)

The BYD Song Plus (Chinese: 比亚迪宋PLUS) is a compact SUV manufactured by BYD Auto since 2020. It is part of the BYD Song series of SUVs that are named after the Song dynasty. Initially available solely as an internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle with a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine, in 2021 BYD introduced the plug-in hybrid Song Plus DM-i and the battery electric Song Plus EV. The petrol model was phased out in 2022.

Originally part of the Dynasty Series line-up, the Song Plus has been sold in China through the Ocean Network dealership chain since 2022 to diversify the offerings of the newly established Ocean Series. The Dynasty Series counterpart of the Song Plus, the Song L DM-i, was introduced in 2024.

In 2023, BYD introduced the Song Plus EV as the BYD Seal U in Europe. The plug-in hybrid Seal U DM-i was introduced later in 2024. In mid-2024, the plug-in hybrid model was introduced in Australia, New Zealand, the Philippines and Thailand as the BYD Sealion 6 DM-i.

As of 2024, the Song Plus is the best-selling BYD SUV in China. Global cumulative production of the model (excluding the ICE-powered variant) surpassed 1 million units by July 2024.

The Song Plus was removed from the BYD Auto China website in January 2026. The newer and larger Sealion 06, available in DM-i and EV variants, became its de facto successor. While in export markets, the Song Plus / Seal U / Sealion 6 remain BYD's staple model.

Pre-facelift (2020–2023)

The Song Plus was introduced in September 2020, as a larger and more "upmarket" alternative to the BYD Song Pro, but positioned below the BYD Tang. It occupies the Chinese B-class SUV segment, equivalent to the global D-segment. The vehicle was initially offered only with an internal combustion engine, with the plug-in hybrid (DM-i) and battery electric (EV) variants joining the lineup later in 2021. The petrol model was phased out in early 2022. Initial versions of the Song Plus is equipped with a 12.8-inch rotatable central infotainment screen with the third-generation DiLink system, a karaoke function, and a full LCD instrument panel.

The petrol version, marketed briefly between 2020 and 2021 uses the 1.5-litre BYD472ZQA I4 turbocharged petrol engine and a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission producing power output of 136 kW (182 hp; 185 PS).

Song Plus DM-i

The plug-in hybrid version of the Song Plus went on sale in March 2021 in China. The model received different front end styling compared to the petrol version and the EV version. For the pre-facelift model, the Song Plus DM-i was available in 51 km and 110 km variants with an NEDC electric range of 51 km (32 mi) and 100 km (62 mi) respectively. This hybrid system provides four major control modes (EV, HEV series, HEV parallel, and engine direct drive).

The claimed fuel consumption of the 51 km variant is rated at 4.4 L/100 km (22.7 km/l; 53.5 mpg‑US), the 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) acceleration time is 8.5 seconds, and the combined range is 1,150 km (715 mi). For the 110 km variant, the fuel economy is 4.5 L/100 km (22.2 km/l; 52.3 mpg‑US), and the 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) acceleration time is 7.9 seconds, with a combined range of 1,200 km (746 mi).

Song Plus EV

The battery electric variant of the Song Plus went on sale in April 2021 in China. The Song Plus EV received a different front end design with smaller grille opening. It is equipped with a 71.7 kWh LFP blade battery. In China, the Song Plus EV was marketed through the e-Network dealerships, which was renamed to the Ocean Network later.

2023 facelift

The updated Song Plus was launched in June 2023 for the Chinese market, initially as the Song Plus Champion Edition. It is available in DM-i and EV variants. It features a restyled front end and rear end design with headlamp units similar to the BYD Seal. BYD also replaced the Song (宋) emblem with the standard BYD logo, aligning it with the vehicles from the Ocean series.

The EV version has a range of 605 km (376 mi) and a power output of 218 hp (163 kW; 221 PS). The DM-i PHEV, features a 1.5-litre engine producing 110 hp (82 kW; 110 PS) and an electric motor producing 197 hp (147 kW; 200 PS).

In 2023, BYD unveiled the BYD Seal U, the export version of the Song Plus EV Champion Edition. It debuted in Europe in September 2023 as part of the Seal family. In May 2024, the vehicle was introduced in Australia and other markets as the BYD Sealion 6.
