BYD Song Max

For a complete overview of all BYD models using the "Song" nameplate, see BYD Song.

The BYD Song Max is a compact multi purpose vehicle (MPV) developed by BYD since 2017. Initially available solely as an internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle with a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine, in 2022 BYD replaced the petrol-powered Song Max with the plug-in hybrid Song Max DM-i after it ended production of ICE vehicles.

The Song Max is not available with a battery electric powertrain. The second-generation BYD e6 is a battery electric vehicle heavily based on the Song Max that is predominantly sold as taxis and other fleet usage, which is sold since 2021 in China and in right-hand drive export markets such as Singapore, Hong Kong, Australia and India. A more upscale version of the e6, borrowing elements from the newer Song Max with design revisions and a more powerful electric motor has been available as the BYD M6 since 2024 for export markets.

Overview

edit

BYD released previewed images of the BYD Song Max in April 2017.[2] In September 2017, the Song Max was launched in China. Only one engine was offered at launch, which is a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine capable of producing 156 hp (116 kW) and 240 N⋅m (177 lb⋅ft) of torque with either a 6-speed manual gearbox or a 6-speed DCT gearbox. The engine remained the only powertrain option until 2022.[3]

In April 2019, BYD showcased the Song Max DM plug-in hybrid during the 2019 Shanghai Auto Show. The Song Max DM is equipped with a 1.5-liter engine producing 118 kW (160 PS; 158 hp) an electric motor producing 110 kW (150 PS; 150 hp).[4] This version was never sold, and BYD only started offering the Song Max DM-i in 2022 with the newer fourth-generation DM-i plug-in hybrid system after it ended production of ICE vehicles. At the same show, BYD also showcased the Song Max EV, which was also never sold.[5] Instead, the related fleet-oriented BEV model second-generation BYD e6 was offered in late 2021 in selected right-hand drive markets.

In March 2024, BYD showcased a right-hand drive Song Max EV in Thailand at the Bangkok International Motor Show, which adopts a refreshed styling.[9] In May 2024, the vehicle was revealed with a new name, the BYD M6.[10] The nameplate was previously used by a larger MPV in 2010. Depending on the market, the M6 is available with two battery options, both using the company's blade battery system; Standard Range with a 55.4 kWh battery pack and NEDC range of 420 kilometres (260 mi), and Extended Range with a 71.8 kWh battery pack and NEDC range of 530 kilometres (330 mi).
