The BYD Song Pro (Chinese: 比亚迪宋Pro) is a compact SUV manufactured by BYD Auto since 2019. It is part of the BYD Song series of SUVs that are named after the Song dynasty.
During its introduction, the Song Pro was offered in three variants: an internal combustion engine (ICE) version with a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine, the plug-in hybrid Song Pro DM and the battery electric Song Pro EV. Since 2022, only the plug-in hybrid version remains available, which has been upgraded to the newer DM-i plug-in hybrid powertrain.
The model is part of the Dynasty Series, marketed through the Dynasty Network dealership chain, and positioned below the larger BYD Song L DM-i. In 2024, an Ocean Series counterpart of the Song Pro, the BYD Sealion 05 DM-i, was introduced.
The Song Pro became available in outside China in 2024, mostly in Latin American countries to complement the more expensive BYD Song Plus. In the Philippines, it was introduced in June 2025 as the BYD Sealion 5 DM-i.
Pre-facelift (2019–2021)
The Song Pro was introduced in early 2019. Based on the BNA (BYD New Architecture) platform shared with the Qin Pro, the Song Pro is positioned in the Chinese A+-class SUV segment, equivalent to a space between the global C-segment and D-segment. Its front end design adopts the “Dragon Face 2.0”, the second-generation BYD Dragon face design language.
The Song Pro was available in three different powertrains, namely the petrol-powered Song Pro (until early 2022), the fully electric Song Pro EV (until 2021) and the plug-in hybrid Song Pro DM (updated to DM-i in 2022).
The petrol version Song Pro is powered by the same 1.5-litre turbo engine producing 113 kW (154 PS; 152 hp).
