FactThis Song very nearly launched under a completely different name — BYD planned to call it the S3 like its F3 and S6 siblings, then switched to the Chinese-dynasty naming scheme days before launch.
The original BYD Song debuted at the 2015 Shanghai Auto Show (on sale October 2015), BYD's first entry into the compact crossover market, sold under the ICE name it kept even after the hybrid Qin and Tang moved to dynasty names. Two petrol powertrains were offered at launch, a 1.5-litre turbo BYD476ZQA and a 2.0-litre turbo BYD487ZQA, alongside EV300/EV400 electric versions using a 218 hp (310 Nm) motor; petrol versions were discontinued in March 2022 when BYD ended ICE production. Wheelbase 2,660 mm (104.7 in), length 4,565 mm (179.7 in), width 1,830 mm (72.0 in), height 1,720 mm (67.7 in).

Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.
