The Song Ultra DM-i is BYD’s plug-in hybrid SUV for the Chinese market, built on the e-Platform 3.0. It is mechanically near-identical to the updated Sealion 06 DM-i, sharing powertrains and pricing. Length is 4,850 mm, width 1,910 mm, and the wheelbase 2,840 mm.
The fifth-generation DM-i system uses a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine (101 hp) with a 238 hp electric motor on the front axle. Two battery sizes are offered: a 26.6 kWh pack good for 205 km of electric range (CLTC), or a 38 kWh pack for 310 km of electric range, 1,845 km combined, and 3.3 L/100km fuel use.
Inside is a 15.6” rotating touchscreen, a 10.25” instrument display, and a 26” head-up display, with the DiClaw AI assistant and heated, ventilated, and massaging seats - including a reclining front passenger “throne” with leg support. DiSus-C suspension is standard, along with tire-blowout stabilization and the God’s Eye A driver-assistance suite; God’s Eye B with lidar costs ¥12,000 (~$1,800) extra.
