The 2021 facelift transformed the Song Pro by introducing BYD's highly acclaimed DM-i hybrid powertrain, converting this compact crossover into an ultra-frugal, whisper-quiet family hauler. Preserving this refined SUV calls for structured BYD Song maintenance, keeping both hybrid mechanicals and electric drive systems in peak health.
Propulsion relies on a 1.5-litre Xiaoyun Atkinson-cycle engine paired with an E-CVT transmission and an LFP Blade Battery pack. Drivetrain simplicity minimises wear, while an active dual-loop thermal management system safeguards the high-voltage pack and power electronics, aided by an integrated heat pump for efficient winter heating.
When evaluating a used Song Pro facelift, verify that the transition between electric drive and petrol engine is quiet and imperceptible under moderate load. Check front tyre tread depth for inner edge wear, confirm that air conditioning operates effectively across all cabin vents, and verify that the 12 V auxiliary battery maintains correct voltage.
