The BYD Song (Chinese: 比亚迪宋, after the Song dynasty) is a series of compact crossover SUVs produced by BYD Auto since 2015.

The Song nameplate consists of several different models. It includes the original first-generation Song, later renamed to Song Classic and was sold until 2019. Another versions are the slightly larger Song Pro was introduced in 2019, followed by the more upmarket Song Plus in 2020, a larger electric vehicle called the Song L EV since 2023, and a plug-in hybrid called the Song L DM-i. The Song nameplate is also adopted by the Song Max compact MPV. Since 2024, the Song Plus is exported overseas as the BYD Seal U and BYD Sealion 6.

Similar to other BYD models, the Song has been available in petrol, plug-in hybrid DM (Dual Mode) system, and pure EV powertrains. The petrol versions were discontinued in March 2022 as BYD ended ICE vehicle production.[1] The Song is part of Dynasty series product line, although since 2022 the Song Plus is offered through the Ocean Network dealerships.

The Song is BYD's best-selling vehicle, and one of the most popular SUV in China by ranking first in the SUV segment in 2022. In that year, the Song sold 478,811 units, surpassing the Tesla Model Y and Haval H6 in the market.[2]

The original BYD Song debuted on the Shanghai Auto Show in April 2015, and went on sale in October 2015. It was positioned below the mid-size S6 crossover, and is BYD's first entry to the compact crossover market.[3] Prior to its introduction, the petrol-powered first-generation Song was planned to be marketed as the BYD S3, similar to the petrol powered F3 compact sedan and S6 mid-size crossover, which for its hybrid variants were renamed to the Qin and Tang using the Chinese dynasty naming system. However, BYD reversed course shortly before its launch, and S3 was named the Song for all variants including the ICE engined version, plug-in hybrid version, and electric versions.[4][5][6]

Two powertrains was offered at launch. A 1.5-litre turbo-charged petrol engine capable of producing 154 hp (115 kW; 156 PS) and 240 N⋅m (177 lb⋅ft) of torque and a 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine capable of producing 205 hp (153 kW; 208 PS) and 320 N⋅m (236 lb⋅ft) of torque. The 1.5-litre engine could be had with either a 6-speed manual gearbox or a 6-speed automatic gearbox while the 2.0-litre engine could only be had with a 6-speed DCT gearbox.[7][8] Early models with S3 badging has black graphic details on the front bumpers and regular BYD badge instead of the single body color and Dynasty-badging Song.

Later in 2018, a second facelift updating the BYD Song with the new "Dragon Face" design language.
