2 Answers
The BYD Song PLUS has a maximum range of up to 1,200 kilometers. Here are some relevant details about the BYD Song Plus: 1. Exterior: It adopts BYD's family Dragon Face 2.0 design language, with the fuel version featuring a large-sized grille and the pure electric version sporting a closed grille, both enhancing its distinctive recognition. Additionally, the new vehicle's front light clusters incorporate the latest dragon claw elements, combined with the raised lines on the side of the engine compartment and the body's waistline, giving it a strong muscular appearance. The BYD Song PLUS connects the headlights and taillights with a smooth waistline, creating a fluid overall shape. Moreover, the front and rear light clusters extend uniformly, delivering excellent visual effects when illuminated. The 20-inch large-sized wheels and red brake calipers highlight the side profile's outstanding sense of power and speed. 2. Powertrain: The fuel-powered version of the BYD 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 versions: 405km and 505km.
As an owner of the BYD Song PLUS EV version, I've been driving it for almost a year and am very satisfied with its range performance. The official CLTC range is around 605 kilometers. In actual city driving, I can get about 520-550 kilometers, while on highways at higher speeds, it drops to around 480 kilometers due to significant wind resistance. When using air conditioning or heating, the range decreases to about 450 kilometers, but it's still within an acceptable range. Daily charging with a home charger is done overnight, which is very cost-effective and much cheaper than fuel cars. Driving habits matter a lot—smooth acceleration and less sudden braking can add dozens of kilometers to the range. I recommend opting for the larger battery version, which is more suitable for long-distance travel. Overall, the range is solid and reliable, making it ideal for urban commuting and medium to short trips.
