BYD Song L DM-i
The BYD Song L DM-i is a plug-in hybrid mid-size crossover SUV manufactured by BYD Auto since 2024. It is part of the Song line-up of SUVs under the Dynasty Series product line-up that are distributed through Dynasty Network dealerships. Within that series, it is positioned between the smaller Song Pro and the larger Tang DM-i.
While the vehicle shares the same name with the BYD Song L EV, both models have minimal relation in styling and mechanical components. Instead, the model is positioned identically with the BYD Song Plus from the Ocean Network dealerships, which adopts the same plug-in hybrid system.
