BYD has revealed the interior of the top variant of the upcoming Song L, which is the Chinese brand’s new all-electric fastback SUV built on the e-Platform 3.0. According to CarNewsChina, the Song L will compete against Geely’s Zeekr 001 and will reportedly go on sale in China this year with a starting price of 250,000 yuan (RM163,643).
The Song L will be offered with two Blade lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries of 71 and 87 kWh capacities and there are two motor configurations. The first sees a rear electric motor rated at 204 PS (201 hp or 150 kW), while the other is a dual-motor, all-wheel drive setup with 517 PS (510 hp or 380 kW). Depending on the powertrain, the SUV has a range of between 550 and 662 km.
Another feature of the Song L is BYD’s DiSus suspension system, which was announced earlier in April this year. Described as an intelligent body control system, the DiSus system comes in three variants, starting with DiSus-A that is somewhat similar to air suspension. There’s also DiSus-C that controls the damper solenoid valve, similar to adaptive damping, while DiSus-P is the most advanced version as it is a hydraulic body control system.
Moving inside, there’s a large panoramic roof above the heads of passengers in the range-topping trim level of the Song L. Perforated Alcantara and leather upholstery, a crystal gear selector, a rotating 15.6-inch touchscreen infotainment system, Dynaudio speakers, dual wireless charging pads and a dedicated touchscreen for the rear climate zone are touted features.
In terms of dimensions, the Song L measures 4,840 mm long, 1,950 mm wide, 1,560 mm tall and has a wheelbase of 2,930 mm. That makes it larger than the Seal, which is slated to be launched in Malaysia soon. Would you welcome the Song L to join it?
