BYD Song Ultra I (SA5) gallery (2026–present)
The BYD Song Ultra is a sophisticated mid-size crossover SUV introduced in 2026 equipped with cutting-edge electric and plug-in hybrid engineering platforms.
Unveiled in early 2026, the BYD Song Ultra represents a high-tech mid-size crossover addition to the established Dynasty vehicle series. Built upon the e-Platform 3.0 Evo architecture for pure electric models and the DM 5.0 framework for plug-in hybrids, it features a rigid structural unibody with low aerodynamic drag. Electric variants employ a rear-mounted synchronous motor rated between 240 kW and 270 kW powered by second-generation Blade Battery packs operating on an 800V high-voltage electrical network for rapid flash charging. The DM-i plug-in hybrid pairs a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine with a electric motor coupled through an E-CVT transmission. Drive is directed to the rear wheels or to all four wheels in dual-motor performance grades. Interior amenities feature a 15.6-inch rotatable touchscreen, a digital gauge cluster, head-up display, and roof-mounted LiDAR sensors supporting intelligent driving automation. The Song Ultra targets tech-focused buyers in China and international export markets. The model represents a significant engineering achievement for BYD, combining refined driving dynamics, low running costs, and comprehensive safety features across all production trim levels.
