History
[edit]The Song Ultra was first confirmed via Weibo on February 4, 2026.[1] Photos of the Song Ultra were unveiled on February 15, 2026.[2] Production will take place at the Zhengzhou and Changsha facilities.[3] The Song Ultra was officially unveiled during BYD's Technology Day alongside the Datang on March 5, 2026. Pre-sales began on the same day.[4] It will officially launch at the end of March 26, 2026.[5]
Design and equipment
[edit]The Song Ultra uses a closed front end combined with a full light strip, the latter of which is also utilized at the rear.[2] The front end uses BYD's signature Dragon Whisker headlights. The intakes on both the front and end use a claw-style design.[6]
The Song Ultra was one of the first Song model to come with LiDAR capability. Its LiDAR supports the company's God's Eye B system utilizing a 300 TOPS computing platform. A 15.6-inch rotating central screen and a 10.25-inch LCD instrument cluster are utilized. The center console has two 50W wireless phone chargers.[3]
It is one of the first BYD model to support the Flash Charging 1,500 kW DC fast charging technology, supporting charging from 10% to 70% in 5 minutes, rivaling gas-powered vehicles in charge time.[3][7]
