What is the 0-100 km/h acceleration time of the Song PLUS EV?
3 Answers
Song PLUS EV's 0-100 km/h acceleration time is 4.4 seconds. Here are the specific details about the Song PLUS: Vehicle Positioning: The Song PLUS is BYD's all-new compact SUV, positioned between the Song Pro and Tang models. It adopts BYD's classic Dragon-Face design language, featuring a large-sized front grille with matrix-style decorations. Powertrain: The fuel-powered version of Song PLUS is equipped with a 1.5T high-power engine delivering a maximum power of 136kW, paired with either a 6-speed manual or 6-speed dual-clutch transmission. The electric version comes with permanent magnet synchronous motors offering maximum power outputs of 120kW and 135kW, available in two range variants: 405km and 505km.
I remember checking the official data of the BYD Song PLUS EV, and its 0-100 km/h acceleration is around 7.5 seconds. This is mainly because it uses a permanent magnet synchronous motor with a power output of 135 kW, which can deliver instant high torque—a common feature in electric vehicles since the motor provides full power from the start, unlike gasoline cars that need to build up RPMs for peak performance. This acceleration capability is quite strong among SUVs in its class, making it particularly exhilarating for quick starts at traffic lights or overtaking, with fast response and no gear-shift lag. However, it's worth noting that faster acceleration consumes more battery, especially when flooring the pedal on highways, which can reduce the driving range. If dynamic performance is a priority in car selection, this figure is quite reliable, but the actual performance can also be affected by battery health. It’s recommended to maintain the battery charge above 80% for optimal acceleration when the car is new.
I've been driving the Song PLUS EV for half a year now, and I can feel its smooth acceleration every time I start. The official 0-100 km/h acceleration time is 7.5 seconds, and in the city, it can indeed outpace many gasoline cars. There's no delay when I step on the accelerator, which is a big help for commuting. However, in actual experience, acceleration slows down a bit when the temperature is low or the battery is insufficient, but it's more than enough for daily use. In terms of handling, the chassis tuning is quite stable, and the car doesn't feel floaty when accelerating, which is reassuring. The only issue is that aggressive driving leads to faster tire wear, but I check the tire pressure monthly to extend their lifespan. Overall, the 7.5-second acceleration adds a lot of driving fun, and it's not tiring even on long trips.
