Chronology
PredecessorBYD M6 (2010)

The BYD Song Max is a compact multi purpose vehicle (MPV) developed by BYD since 2017. Initially available solely as an internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle with a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine, in 2022 BYD replaced the petrol-powered Song Max with the plug-in hybrid Song Max DM-i after it ended production of ICE vehicles.

The Song Max is not available with a battery electric powertrain. The second-generation BYD e6 is a battery electric vehicle heavily based on the Song Max that is predominantly sold as taxis and other fleet usage, which is sold since 2021 in China and in right-hand drive export markets such as Singapore, Hong Kong, Australia and India. A more upscale version of the e6, borrowing elements from the newer Song Max with design revisions and a more powerful electric motor has been available as the BYD M6 since 2024 for export markets.

Overview

[edit]

BYD released previewed images of the BYD Song Max in April 2017.[2] In September 2017, the Song Max was launched in China. Only one engine was offered at launch, which is a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine capable of producing 156 hp (116 kW) and 240 N⋅m (177 lb⋅ft) of torque with either a 6-speed manual gearbox or a 6-speed DCT gearbox. The engine remained the only powertrain option until 2022.[3]

In April 2019, BYD showcased the Song Max DM plug-in hybrid during the 2019 Shanghai Auto Show. The Song Max DM is equipped with a 1.5-liter engine producing 118 kW (160 PS; 158 hp) an electric motor producing 110 kW (150 PS; 150 hp).[4] This version was never sold, and BYD only started offering the Song Max DM-i in 2022 with the newer fourth-generation DM-i plug-in hybrid system after it ended production of ICE vehicles. At the same show, BYD also showcased the Song Max EV, which was also never sold.[5] Instead, the related fleet-oriented BEV model second-generation BYD e6 was offered in late 2021 in selected right-hand drive markets.

The transmission is a 6-speed DCT gearbox.[6] BYD ended the production of ICE vehicles in March 2022, and concentrates on PHEV and BEV models.[7]

Song Max DM-i

[edit]

The Song Max DM-i is the updated version of the previous Song Max DM for the 2022 model year. The Song Max DM-i is equipped with the DM-i plug-in hybrid system consisting of a 1.5-litre engine plus electric motor, with extended roof models added. The Song Max DM-i has 6-seater and 7-seater models to choose from, among which the extended roof models are all 6-seater. With the extended roof, the Song Max DM-i is as high as 1880mm adding the extra height to the interior space. The 1.5-litre engine from the DM-i setup is code-named BYD472QA, drops the turbocharger and produces a maximum power of 81 kW (109 hp; 110 PS), and the permanent magnet synchronous electric motor model is TZ220XYE, powered by lithium iron phosphate batteries. The combined power of the BYD Song Max DM-i reaches 145 kW (194 hp; 197 PS).[8]
