On March 26, BYD held the launch event for the Song Ultra EV in Shenzhen. Earlier this month, at the launch conference for the second-generation Blade Battery and Super Fast Charging technology, BYD had already unveiled two core selling points of the Song Ultra EV: 1500kW super fast charging technology and the second-generation Blade Battery. Yet this new model offers far more than these highlights. As the first Ultra variant in the Song family and BYD’s first B-segment pure electric super fast charging SUV under the Dynasty series, it is truly packed with generous offerings.
The BYD Song Ultra EV comes equipped with three premium class-beating features. In addition to the aforementioned 2840mm wheelbase, the other two are a large battery delivering 710 km of range and a high-power 270kW rear-mounted single motor.
In terms of range, the vehicle is available in two versions: 605 km and 710 km. Among midsize pure electric SUVs in the same price bracket, the Song Ultra EV ranks among the top in driving range. BYD also offers lifetime warranty for the battery pack plus a capacity retention warranty, giving users peace of mind.
More importantly, the second-generation Blade Battery equipped in the Song Ultra EV delivers improved low-temperature performance. In cold winter weather, range degradation is significantly reduced, so owners no longer have to worry about the vehicle performing great in summer but poorly in winter.
Safety has also been enhanced in the second-generation Blade Battery. It successfully passed the extreme simultaneous charging and nail penetration test: when four cells short-circuited at the same time, the battery pack remained stable for 24 hours without fire or explosion. The Song Ultra EV’s second-generation Blade Battery fully satisfies the three key requirements for new energy vehicle batteries: capacity, cold resistance, and safety.
Nevertheless, solving range anxiety depends not only on battery range but also on fast-charging power. With long range and fast charging, drivers will naturally feel free from range concerns. Among the three disruptive technologies featured in the BYD Song Ultra EV, the second-generation Blade Battery and ultra-fast charging technology are two of them.
BYD’s ultra-fast charging technology reaches a single-gun output of 1500kW, the highest among mass-produced new energy vehicles today. It takes only 5 minutes to charge the Song Ultra EV from 10% to 70%, and 9 minutes to reach 97%. Even at an extremely low temperature of -30℃, charging from 20% to 97% takes only 3 minutes longer.
Here is the complete, accurate, automotive-industry standard English translation of your full text, polished for press release / automotive review readability:
To make recharging more convenient for users, BYD plans to build 20,000 super fast charging stations by 2026, including 2,000 along expressways and 18,000 in and around urban areas. The goal is to ensure a BYD super charging station is available within 3 km in first- and second-tier cities, 5 km in third- and fourth-tier cities, and 6 km in fifth- and sixth-tier cities. Starting from the vehicle delivery date, non-commercial owners of the Song Ultra EV will also enjoy one year of free charging.
A few years ago, many netizens complained that BYD built too few charging stations, forcing owners to rely on public facilities. Now BYD has made a bold commitment: to build China’s largest charging network within a single year.
From batteries to super fast charging and the charging ecosystem, BYD has covered everything, determined to completely eliminate users’ range anxiety. The Song Ultra EV is only the beginning. In the future, BYD’s Dynasty and Ocean series, as well as Denza, Fang Cheng Bao, Yangwang and other brands, will all adopt the second‑generation Blade Battery and super fast charging technology, making range anxiety a thing of the past.
After examining the hard power of the BYD Song Ultra EV, let’s look at other aspects that users care about.
First is the exterior design. The new car’s front fascia resembles the Song L DM‑i, with a through‑type daytime running light strip and sharp, upward‑sweeping headlights that deliver strong visual impact. Combined with smooth body lines and a floating roof, the vehicle maintains a low, sporty stance even with a height of 1670 mm, perfectly blending composure and dynamism. At the rear, the flowing through‑type taillight bar frames the “BYD” lettering in the center, and the blacked‑out rear bumper further enhances its imposing presence.
The interior of the Song Ultra EV continues a minimalist style. A two‑spoke steering wheel, 15.6‑inch floating central control screen, and digital instrument panel create a clean yet tech‑rich cabin. The vehicle adopts a column‑mounted electronic gear shifter, freeing up more space in the center console area. It also features two 50W high‑power wireless charging pads for convenient phone charging by both driver and passengers.
The vehicle measures 4850 × 1910 × 1670 mm with a wheelbase of 2840 mm, providing generous interior space. Notably, when the front seats are folded flat, the cabin instantly transforms into a 1.8‑meter king‑size bed, allowing owners to camp without a tent and sleep comfortably inside the car.
In addition, high‑strength steel accounts for 77% of the Song Ultra EV’s body structure, absorbing and dispersing impact energy during collisions to resist deformation. The YunNian‑C intelligent damping body control system and TBC high‑speed tire blowout stability system reduce the risk of losing control in collisions or blowouts. The cabin is equipped with up to seven airbags, including a front far‑side airbag that is not even standard on many luxury vehicles, maximizing occupant protection in severe crashes.
Recognizing that automobiles have evolved beyond mere transportation to become mobile living spaces, BYD thoughtfully added ventilation, heating, and massage functions to the front seats. The vehicle offers a 730L trunk and a 150L front trunk (frunk), both supporting kick‑to‑open for easy access. It also comes with a built‑in cooler‑warmer box capable of reaching 50°C and as low as −6°C. For outdoor camping, the Song Ultra EV is more than a car—it embodies a comfortable lifestyle.
Overall, the Song Ultra EV features a distinct BYD design language. While pursuing a sporty, low‑slung profile, it does not compromise interior space, maintaining a height of 1670 mm. Even young buyers seeking sportiness will appreciate its exterior and interior.
From the launch of its first new energy vehicle, the F3DM, to the maturity of its electrification technologies, BYD spent roughly 15 years. Building intelligent capabilities is no less challenging than electrification. Fortunately, BYD never shies away from difficulties.
The BYD Song Ultra EV supports four‑zone voice interaction, continuous voice recognition, and “what you see is what you say” control. Users can voice‑command the multimedia system (8 or 16 speakers), navigation, phone, air conditioning, windows, and more. Through the on‑board assistant, users can reserve restaurant queues in advance and dine immediately upon arrival. The remote one‑touch vehicle preparation function pre‑activates the air conditioner and steering wheel heating to create a comfortable cabin environment ahead of time. Standard 5G connectivity and full‑vehicle OTA updates provide extensive upgrade potential.
Furthermore, BYD has partnered with multiple smart home brands to build a vehicle‑home ecosystem, allowing Song Ultra EV occupants to receive notifications from smart home appliances.
Intelligent driving is one of the Song Ultra EV’s highlights. Except for the 605KM Entry trim, all variants come standard with L2 ADAS – TianShen ZhiYan C, supporting lane change assist, lane keeping, lane centering, traffic sign recognition, assisted parking, and intelligent navigation assist on highways and expressways.
The 605KM Plus, 710KM Plus, and 710KM Entry trims can be optionally equipped with TianShen ZhiYan B – LiDAR ADAS (DiPilot 300). Enabled by this system and LiDAR, the Song Ultra EV offers urban navigation assist, full‑scene parking, and high‑speed navigation assist. The optional package costs only 9,900 yuan.
For enthusiasts seeking driving enjoyment, the L2 functions of TianShen ZhiYan C are more than sufficient. Those pursuing advanced intelligent driving can choose TianShen ZhiYan B for greater peace of mind on highways and urban roads. It enables autonomous overtaking, ramp entry and exit, urban negotiation driving, and full‑scene U‑turns, safeguarding the driver’s journey.
While many EV startups originate from internet companies, giving them an edge in intelligence, traditional brands often lead in electrification. Yet BYD has kept pace. At the second CCTV China Innovation and Technology Gala earlier this year, BYD revealed its ADAS team exceeds 5,000 members, nearly half the total R&D staff of some new energy startups.
With massive investment in talent and resources, BYD’s intelligent driving capabilities have improved dramatically. TianShen ZhiYan B now ranks among China’s top tier of ADAS systems. The purpose of intelligent driving is to reduce driver fatigue and improve safety, and BYD’s TianShen ZhiYan series is advancing steadily toward these goals.
In the view of EV Tong, the Song Ultra EV is more than a car—it is BYD’s powerful demonstration of technological strength. For a long time, BYD was seen as relying on DM‑i/p plug‑in hybrid technology and cost‑effectiveness. Technologies such as e⁴ and e³ are advanced but limited to high‑end models, unavailable to mainstream consumers.
The second‑generation Blade Battery, super fast charging, and the charging network drastically improve the user experience. The deployment of TianShen ZhiYan B/C gradually frees drivers from repetitive, dangerous, and tiring driving tasks.
The technologies featured in the Song Ultra EV are accessible to the general public, not exclusive to luxury buyers. For around 100,000 to 200,000 yuan, customers can enjoy over 100 standard features, including the second‑generation Blade Battery, 1500kW super fast charging, TBC tire blowout stability system, seat ventilation and heating, and YunNian‑C intelligent damping control.
Buyers on a budget will be satisfied with the 605KM Entry trim, while those with more spending power will not be disappointed with higher trims plus the TianShen ZhiYan B option.
In 2025, BYD’s total vehicle sales reached 4.6 million units, a year‑on‑year increase of 7.73%. Growth becomes harder as sales volume rises. EV Tong originally predicted BYD’s 2026 NEV sales would be similar to 2025. However, the Song Ultra EV, along with its second‑generation Blade Battery, super fast charging, and TianShen ZhiYan systems, has changed that outlook.
These affordable, experience‑enhancing technologies are expected to drive BYD’s sales growth and help it achieve its previously unmet target of 5.5 million annual sales.
