BYD Song Plus

The BYD Song Plus remains one of Brazil's best-selling electrified SUVs, sold as the plug-in hybrid Song Plus DM-i. The standard version is priced from R$ 249,990, while the newly introduced Premium AWD - with a 1.5 turbo engine and dual electric motors for 324 cv and a 0-100 km/h time of about 5.2 seconds - starts at R$ 299,800.

Its appeal is a blend of electric running and total flexibility: an 18.3 kWh Blade battery gives up to 68 km of electric range (PBEV), while the petrol engine extends combined range to 1,200 km. With a spacious cabin, a large rotating screen, a 5-star Euro NCAP-rated platform and a full driver-assistance suite, the 2026 Song Plus continues to be a benchmark plug-in hybrid SUV in Brazil.

The Song Plus is a plug-in hybrid, so it has two range figures. On the 18.3 kWh Blade battery alone it covers up to 68 km (PBEV/Inmetro) - around 100 km on the older NEDC cycle - enough for most daily city driving on electricity. With the petrol engine working as a generator, total combined range reaches up to 1,200 km.

Performance is strong: the standard DM-i combines for 235 cv and 40.8 kgfm, while the Premium AWD steps up to 324 cv with all-wheel drive and a 0-100 km/h time of just 5.2 seconds. The big draw is flexibility - charge at home for cheap electric daily driving, then rely on petrol for long highway trips. Just remember it is a hybrid, not a full EV, so fuel is still part of the equation on longer journeys.

The Song Plus is well equipped on safety, with a 5-star Euro NCAP rating for the model line and a comprehensive driver-assistance package: adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning with autonomous emergency braking, lane keep assist, blind spot monitoring with rear cross traffic alert and a 360-degree camera, plus multiple airbags. Underpinning it is BYD's Blade (LFP) battery, engineered for excellent thermal stability and a long service life of more than 5,000 charge cycles.

As a plug-in hybrid, the Song Plus can be charged from the grid or simply refuelled with petrol. It supports AC home charging for convenient overnight top-ups and DC fast charging for quicker recharges of the 18.3 kWh battery. For the best economy, charge regularly and keep daily trips within the electric range, using the petrol engine only on longer journeys. Regenerative braking recovers energy as you drive, helping to keep running costs low.

BYD backs the Song Plus with a strong ownership package in Brazil, typically including an 8-year high-voltage Blade battery warranty and a 6-year vehicle warranty (terms and mileage limits apply). The LFP Blade battery is designed for a long life of over 5,000 charge cycles. Confirm the latest warranty conditions, service intervals and any promotions with your BYD Brasil dealer at purchase.
