📖BYD Song Plus facelift: refined global SUV with mature hybrid and electric tech

BYD Song Plus (facelift 2023) (2023-Présent)

The 2023 facelift updated the Song Plus with a sleeker, EV-inspired front fascia and enhanced cabin appointments, aligning it with BYD's modern Ocean design aesthetics. Keeping this popular family SUV performing reliably demands attentive BYD Song maintenance, focusing on battery thermals and running gear alignment.

Available as a pure EV or DM-i plug-in hybrid with 12.9 kWh or 18.3 kWh capacities, the vehicle relies on an ultra-safe LFP Blade Battery pack. Propulsion flows through an E-CVT transmission on hybrids or a direct drive unit on EVs, supported by an advanced liquid thermal management system that actively warms or chills the cells.

When assessing a used Song Plus facelift, verify that the combustion engine starts seamlessly without shudder when accelerating hard in hybrid mode. Check charging port pins for dirt or wear, confirm uniform tyre wear across all four wheels, and test air conditioning cooling across both rows of seating.

Owner notes

The reassuring points, known weak spots and deadlines you should not let slip.

Reassuring points

Reliability
  • Modernised exterior styling with sleek aerodynamic front fascia and premium interior touchpoints.
  • Durable Blade Battery chemistry delivering dependable electric range and minimal capacity degradation.
  • Highly refined DM-i hybrid system providing smooth, near-silent daily commuting and frugal petrol economy.

Chronic weak spots

Keep an eye on
  • Charging port connector wear: inspect AC and DC charging sockets for latch wear or burnt contacts.
  • Front tyre shoulder scrub: check wheel alignment regularly to prevent accelerated front tyre edge wear.
  • Engine oil moisture accumulation: run the hybrid engine periodically on longer motorway drives to purge fuel vapours.
  • Low-voltage 12 V battery status: test auxiliary battery annually to prevent electronic start-up glitches.

Critical deadlines

Do not miss
  • Break-in engine oil change: complete initial engine oil and filter renewal at 3,500 km or 6 months on DM-i models.
  • Annual engine oil service: renew 0W-20 fully synthetic engine oil every 10,000 km or 12 months.
  • Hydraulic brake fluid flush: replace DOT 4 brake fluid every 40,000 km or 24 months.
  • Suspension and tracking inspection: check suspension bushes and wheel alignment every 20,000 km.
