What are the Key Specifications of the 2025 Song Plus EV?

Finding accurate specifications for Chinese EVs can be challenging, especially for new models. I've spent years importing vehicles and know how critical reliable information is for making informed decisions.

The 2025 Song Plus EV is a compact electric SUV measuring 4785×1890×1660mm with a 2765mm wheelbase. It comes in three trims: two with 520km range (71.8kWh battery) and a Flagship Edition with 605km range (87.04kWh battery). All versions offer fast charging from 30-80% and feature permanent magnet synchronous motors.

Powertrain and Performance

The 2025 Song Plus EV lineup offers impressive performance metrics that balance efficiency with everyday usability. Having imported hundreds of EVs, I've found BYD's electric powertrains to be quite reliable and well-engineered.

Safety concerns often come up when I'm discussing Chinese vehicles with potential buyers. Many still hold outdated perceptions about Chinese vehicle safety standards.

The 2025 Song Plus EV comes with comprehensive safety features including multiple airbags, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), and collision avoidance technologies. All versions offer lane keeping, adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, and 360-degree camera systems as standard features.

Passive Safety Systems

The Song Plus EV doesn't cut corners when it comes to traditional passive safety features. Having inspected many vehicles upon arrival at our warehouses, I've been consistently impressed with BYD's build quality and safety engineering.
