BYD today launched the 2025 Song L EV with a starting price of RMB 189,800 ($26,700), the same as its predecessor but with the DiPilot 100 driver assistance system.
BYD (OTCMKTS: BYDDF) has introduced the 2025 model for the battery electric vehicle (BEV) variant of the shooting brake model Song L, about eight months after its initial launch.
The Chinese new energy vehicle (NEV) maker today rolled out the 2025 Song L EV on the first day of the Chengdu auto show, with a starting price of RMB 189,800 ($26,780), the same as its predecessor.
Specifically, the 2025 Song L EV is offered in four variants with starting prices of RMB 189,800, RMB 199,800, RMB 209,800, RMB 229,800, and RMB 249,800 respectively.
The Song L EV was initially launched on December 15, 2023, when it was offered in five variants with starting prices of RMB 189,800, RMB 199,800, RMB 209,800, RMB 229,800, and RMB 249,800 respectively.
The 2025 Song L EV does away with the previous variant priced at RMB 209,800 and comes with an intelligent driving system.
Its DiPilot 100 driver assistance system comes with 29 sensors and offers more than 30 features including driver assistance and parking assistance.
