The differences between the BYD Song Pro Elite Edition and Luxury Edition lie in the configurations. The Luxury Edition adds front side airbags, tire pressure display, lane departure warning, road traffic sign recognition, active braking, front parking radar, 360-degree surround view, full-speed adaptive cruise control system, and a 10.1-inch central control screen compared to the Elite Edition. Below are the similarities between the BYD Song Pro Elite Edition and Luxury Edition: 1. Both use a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 118kw and a maximum torque of 245 Nm, with the maximum torque available between 1600 to 4000 rpm and the maximum power at 5200 rpm. The engine features direct fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. 2. Both have a wheelbase of 2712 mm, with dimensions of 4650 mm in length, 1860 mm in width, and 1700 mm in height.
As a veteran owner who has driven both versions of the Song Pro, I find the differences between the Elite and Premium trims quite noticeable. The Elite version is more basic with a lower starting price by several ten thousand yuan, lacking comfort features like a panoramic sunroof and leather seats – its fabric interior feels somewhat cheap. The Premium trim adds nice upgrades such as heated genuine leather seats, a premium sound system, and adaptive cruise control that makes long drives less tiring. Both share the same 1.5T plug-in hybrid powertrain, so handling is similar, but the Premium offers better sound insulation and more comfortable rear seating. If you're budget-conscious or just need urban commuting, the Elite suffices; but for family trips or prioritizing comfort, spending extra on the Premium pays off with long-term satisfaction.
