BYD 2026 Song Ultra EV Launched: Starting at ¥151,900

On March 26, 2026, the BYD Dynasty Series’ first B-segment pure-electric SUV—the Song Ultra EV—officially launched globally. With an accessible price range of ¥151,900 to ¥179,900, it fully democratizes three core advantages: "Flash Charging Technology," "710km Long Range," and "Advanced Intelligent Driving." Directly benchmarking against popular global models such as the Tesla Model Y and XPeng G6, it redefines the value standards for pure-electric SUVs in the sub-¥200,000 price segment.

1. Basic Specifications

The Song Ultra EV offers a clear lineup of trim levels, catering to the diverse global user demands regarding range, performance, and budget:

1.1 Flash Charging Technology: Charging Faster Than Refueling

As the world's first B-segment SUV equipped with megawatt-level flash charging technology, the Song Ultra EV completely eliminates "range anxiety" associated with pure-electric travel:

Normal Temperatures: Charging from 10% to 70% takes just 5 minutes, replenishing 400km of range; charging from 10% to 97% takes only 9 minutes—roughly the time it takes to buy a cup of coffee.

Extreme Cold Performance: In sub-zero temperatures of -30°C, charging from 10% to 97% takes just 12 minutes, definitively ending the historical notion that "electric cars cannot venture beyond the Great Wall" (i.e., cannot handle China's extreme northern climates).

Flash Charging Ecosystem: BYD simultaneously launched its 1500kW flash charging piles, featuring a "sliding-rail suspended T-shaped" design. This allows female users to operate the charger single-handedly, supports contactless payment, and maintains stable, full-power output even in high-temperature environments.

1.2 Range and Safety: The Dual Assurance of the Second-Generation Blade Battery

All trim levels come standard with the second-generation Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) Blade Battery. Having successfully passed extreme tests—including "500 flash charging cycles" and "simultaneous flash charging and nail penetration"—the battery's safety and durability have been comprehensively upgraded:

Increased Energy Density: Energy density has increased by 12% compared to the first-generation Blade Battery, achieving an ultra-long CLTC range of 710km—allowing for a complete journey from Hangzhou to Wuhan without the need for a single recharge.

Warranty Upgrade: The battery will be replaced free of charge if its capacity degrades below 77.5%, and the individual battery cells come with a lifetime warranty, thereby eliminating user concerns regarding long-term ownership.

1.3 Space: A Mid-size SUV’s "Mobile Double Bed"

With body dimensions of 4850×1910×1670mm and a wheelbase of 2840mm, it delivers a class-leading spatial experience:

Rear-Seat Space: Rear legroom reaches 920mm, allowing a 180cm-tall passenger to comfortably cross their legs; the rear floorboard is nearly completely flat.

Flexible Layout: The trunk offers a volume of 580L, expanding to 1659L when the rear seats are folded down. It supports a "Double Bed Mode" capable of accommodating two 28-inch suitcases plus camping gear.

Design Details: The front trunk supports "tap-to-unlock" functionality, while the cabin is equipped with multi-functional expansion ports to meet diverse needs such as Vlog filming and outdoor device charging.

2. Vehicle Intelligence & Handling

2.1 "Eye of the Gods-B" Intelligent Driving System: Optional LiDAR for Full-Scenario Assistance

Standard Edition: The entire lineup comes standard with the DiPilot 300 system, supporting Highway NOA (Navigate on Autopilot), full-scenario automatic parking, and autonomous overtaking/ramp entry-exit.

LiDAR Edition: An optional upgrade (for an additional ¥9,900 RMB) adds a single LiDAR unit, enhancing the City NOA function to handle complex scenarios such as unprotected left turns, sudden pedestrian intrusions, and meeting oncoming traffic on narrow roads.

2.2 DiSus-C Chassis + Tire Blowout Stabilization: A Family SUV’s "Armor of Safety"

DiSus-C Intelligent Damping Body Control System (Standard on all models): Paired with a suspension setup featuring front MacPherson struts and a rear five-link independent system, it adjusts damping in real-time based on road conditions, balancing both ride comfort and handling precision.

TBC High-Speed Tire Blowout Stabilization System: In the event of a tire blowout at speeds up to 140 km/h, the system responds in milliseconds to stabilize the vehicle body, preventing loss of control and adding an extra layer of safety for family travel.

2.3 Intelligent Cockpit: DiLink 5.0 + Four-Zone Voice Control—An In-Vehicle System That "Understands You"

15.6-inch Rotatable Central Control Screen: Powered by DiLink Android 5.0-based OS: Supports "One-Touch Transfer" for mobile devices and multi-screen collaboration; the in-vehicle infotainment system allows for direct online queuing at restaurants.

Four-Zone Voice Interaction: Independently recognizes commands from both front and rear-seat passengers; requires no wake-up word and supports continuous dialogue for over 10 rounds.

Luxury Features: High-trim models offer a "Queen's Seat" (premium front passenger seat), an in-vehicle refrigerator, a 26-inch W-HUD (Windshield Head-Up Display), and a 16-speaker Dynaudio sound system.

3. Market Strategy

3.1 Unified Standards, Global Regulatory Compliance

The Song Ultra EV adheres to globally unified production and safety standards. It has successfully passed rigorous international safety certifications—such as the EU's E-NCAP and the US's IIHS—and is fully compatible with the charging networks and road regulations of 36 countries worldwide.

3.2 Overseas Range and Charging Expectations

European Market: WLTP range is projected to reach 520 km (for the 710 km version). It supports mainstream European 350 kW ultra-fast charging stations, allowing for a 10% to 80% charge in just 25 minutes.

Southeast Asian Market: The battery thermal management system has been optimized for high-temperature environments. The "Flash Charging" technology remains fully applicable, effectively addressing the specific energy replenishment challenges faced in tropical regions.

North American Market: Supports V2L (Vehicle-to-Load) external power supply (3.3 kW), meeting the power needs for outdoor camping, emergency situations, and other scenarios.

3.3 Competitive Analysis: Advantages Over Global Rivals

4. Conclusion

The launch of the 2026 Song Ultra EV marks a pivotal moment—not only does it fill a critical gap in the BYD Dynasty Network's lineup of B-segment pure electric SUVs, but it also serves as a significant symbol of the global export of Chinese electric vehicle technology. Rather than relying on cutthroat pricing strategies, it delivers genuine technology, safety, and user experience, allowing global consumers—for the very first time—to enjoy the "premium dignity" typically associated with 400,000-class vehicles, all within a 200,000-level budget.

When an SUV charges faster than it takes to refuel with gasoline; when a 710 km range eliminates the need to plan for charging stops during long-distance travel; and when advanced intelligent driving capabilities are no longer the exclusive domain of luxury vehicles—the Song Ultra EV is truly redefining the future of the global pure electric SUV market.
