BYD has released the first official exterior images of the Song Ultra EV, signaling an acceleration in marketing activities for the upcoming electric sport utility vehicle.
The Chinese new energy vehicle (NEV) maker shared two images of the model on its official Weibo account on Tuesday, highlighting the vehicle’s size and positioning within its Dynasty lineup. The Song Ultra EV is described as the brand’s first B-segment pure-electric SUV under the Dynasty series and the latest addition to the Song family.

According to a vehicle purchase tax reduction catalog published this week by China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT), the Song Ultra EV will be offered with battery pack options of 75.616 kWh and 82.732 kWh, corresponding to CLTC driving ranges of 620 km and 710 km, respectively.
The model also appeared in a separate MIIT regulatory filing last month, which disclosed dimensions of 4,850 mm in length, 1,910 mm in width and 1,670 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,840 mm. These figures place it slightly larger in overall length and height than the Song L EV, though the latter has a longer wheelbase.
