BYD is expanding its electric vehicle lineup with the launch of the Song PLUS Champion Edition. The new SUV is based on the popular Song PLUS, but it has been updated with a number of new design and technology features. The most noticeable changes are on the front end, where the Champion Edition gets a new grille, headlights, and bumper. The interior has also been updated with a new dashboard, center console, and seats. In terms of design, the Song PLUS Champion Edition adopts BYD’s latest “Ocean Network” design language. This includes a more futuristic and aerodynamic front end, with a closed grille and new LED headlights. The rear end has also been redesigned, with new taillights and a more integrated bumper.
Under the hood, the Song PLUS Champion
Edition is available with a choice of two powertrains. The first is a 1.5-liter
turbocharged engine paired with an electric motor, which produces a combined
output of 197 horsepower. The second is a pure electric powertrain, which
produces 204 horsepower. Both powertrains are paired with a 6-speed dual-clutch
automatic transmission.
Inside, the Song PLUS Champion Edition
features a luxurious and high-tech interior. The dashboard is dominated by a
12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a 15.6-inch touchscreen infotainment
system. The seats are upholstered in high-quality leather, and the cabin is
filled with ambient lighting. The Song PLUS Champion Edition is available in
two trim levels: Standard and Premium. The Standard trim is priced at 169,800
yuan, while the Premium trim is priced at 199,800 yuan.
BYD is confident that the Song PLUS
Champion Edition will be a success. The company has already received over
10,000 orders for the new model, and it is expected to sell well in China. Here
