Introduced in 2019, the Song Pro established a modern, cohesive compact SUV platform for BYD, offering buyers a broad choice between turbocharged petrol, DM plug-in hybrid and pure-electric models. Maintaining this capable crossover calls for disciplined BYD Song maintenance, tailored specifically to the installed powertrain.
Mechanical options include a 1.5-litre turbo engine paired with a six-speed dual-clutch gearbox, a DM hybrid combining petrol and electric power, and an EV version with a 59.1 kWh battery and reduction gearbox. All models utilise an advanced multi-circuit cooling system to regulate engine, inverter and battery temperatures under demanding driving conditions.
When shopping for a pre-owned Song Pro, test the DCT transmission in creeping traffic to check for hesitation or clutch judder on petrol and early DM models. On electric variants, check battery charging curves and reduction gearbox quietness, and inspect the front suspension control arms for bushing wear.
