The BYD Song Ultra EV, a game-changer in the electric vehicle market, has finally unveiled its production model, marking a significant milestone for BYD's Technology Day on March 5. This highly anticipated reveal showcases the vehicle's cutting-edge features, including a roof-mounted LiDAR sensor, a first for the Song family. This sensor supports the advanced 'God’s Eye' B (DiPilot 300) intelligent driving suite, which utilizes a 300 TOPS computing platform for urban and highway Navigation on Autopilot (NOA).
The interior design is equally impressive, featuring a 15.6-inch adaptive rotating central screen and a 10.25-inch LCD instrument cluster. The Song Ultra EV introduces a unique 'Big Bed Mode' where the front seats fully recline to meet the rear seat cushions, providing a comfortable and spacious cabin. The center console is equipped with dual 50W wireless charging pads, a crystal-textured drive selector, and physical controls for frequently used multimedia functions.
Under the hood, the Song Ultra EV boasts a rear-mounted single motor (TZ200XYAV) with a maximum output of 270 kW (362 hp), enabling a top speed of 210 km/h. The vehicle is powered by FinDreams' Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) Blade batteries, available in two configurations with battery capacities of 75.616 kWh and 82.732 kWh, offering ranges of 620 km and 710 km, respectively.
The pricing strategy for the Song Ultra EV is set to be announced on March 5, with market estimates suggesting a starting price of 180,000 yuan (26,130 USD). This positions the Song Ultra EV as a competitive option in the B-segment market, with a 9,800 yuan (1,420 USD) price gap compared to the Song L EV Smart Driving Edition. BYD aims to deliver 20,000 Song Ultra EVs per month to solidify its market position and capitalize on the growing demand for high-ADAS electric SUVs.
