BYD Song Pro

The BYD Song Pro is a compact crossover SUV manufactured by BYD Auto since 2019. It is part of the BYD Song series of SUVs that are named after the Song dynasty.

During its introduction, the Song Pro was offered in three variants: an internal combustion engine (ICE) version with a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine, the plug-in hybrid Song Pro DM and the battery electric Song Pro EV. Since 2022, only the plug-in hybrid version remains available, which has been upgraded to the newer DM-i plug-in hybrid powertrain.

The model is part of the Dynasty Series, marketed through the Dynasty Network dealership chain, and positioned below the larger BYD Song L DM-i. In 2024, an Ocean Series counterpart of the Song Pro, the BYD Sealion 05 DM-i, was introduced.

The Song Pro became available in outside China in 2024, mostly in Latin American countries to complement the more expensive BYD Song Plus.[6] In the Philippines, it was introduced in June 2025 as the BYD Sealion 5 DM-i.

Pre-facelift (2019–2021)

The Song Pro was introduced in early 2019. Based on the BNA (BYD New Architecture) platform shared with the Qin Pro,[7][8][9] the Song Pro is positioned in the Chinese A+-class SUV segment, equivalent to a space between the global C-segment and D-segment.[8][10] Its front end design adopts the "Dragon Face 2.0", the second-generation BYD Dragon face design language.[8]

The Song Pro was available in three different powertrains, namely the petrol-powered Song Pro (until early 2022), the fully electric Song Pro EV (until 2021) and the plug-in hybrid Song Pro DM (updated to DM-i in 2022).

The petrol version Song Pro is powered by the same 1.5-litre turbo engine producing 113 kW.[11]

Song Pro EV

The Song Pro EV was released alongside the petrol and plug-in hybrid Song Pro in July 2019. The model is powered by a 71 kWh ternary lithium battery and has a combined power output of 135 kW.[11][12] BYD claimed an NEDC electric range of 502 km.[13] It was available until 2021 as a 2019 model year.[14][15]

Song Pro DM

The plug-in hybrid version was powered by the same 1.5-litre turbo engine as the petrol version while producing 118 kW with a fuel consumption of 1.4 L/100 km.[11]

2021 facelift

The Song Pro received a facelift and was updated with the DM-i powertrain from December 2021 for the 2022 model year. From 2022, the DM-i is the only remaining Song Pro model on sale. The Song Pro DM-i is powered by a 1.5-litre plug-in hybrid engine connected with the EHS system producing 173 kW and 0-100 km/h acceleration is completed in 7.9 seconds. It is equipped with an E-CVT gearbox.[16]

2023 facelift

In May 2023, the Song Pro DM-i received another major facelift, initially marketed in China as the Song Pro DM-i Champion Edition. The front and rear of the vehicle were revised, extending its body length by 88 mm to 4738 mm.[17][18] The interior design was also heavily updated.[19] In March 2024, the model was further updated as the Song Pro DM-i Honor Edition, with price reductions and a new black exterior colour option.[20]

Since 2025, the Song Pro second facelift would be exported to overseas markets such as Philippines and Australia, it is known as the BYD Sealion 5 DM-i.

2024 facelift

In September 2024, the updated Song Pro DM-i went on sale in China. It was introduced alongside its new sister model from the Ocean Series, the BYD Sealion 05 DM-i. It received major exterior and interior styling changes, as well as the DM-i 5.0 plug-in hybrid powertrain.[21][22]

Markets

The Song Pro has been exported to left-hand drive countries since 2024, adopting the 2023 facelift styling.[23]

It is available in two trim levels, the GL with a 12.9 kWh battery and GS with a 18.3 kWh battery.[25] The model will be locally assembled in 2025 as the first Brazilian-made BYD, and will be equipped with a flex-fuel engine capable of using petrol and ethanol.[26]
