BYD is adding a new variant to its Song L SUV product lineup – the Song L GT all-electric SUV – built based on the Song L EV with more sporty details. The Song L will be available in RWD and AWD.
The BYD Song L GT largely continues the design style of the Song L EV in appearance. The front bumper has been redesigned to increase the area of the black trim and a black trim has also been added between the headlights. The entire series is expected to come with a roof lidar radar as standard.
For the powertrain, the RWD will be offered in low and power versions. The low power version is equipped with a 170 kW (228 hp) electric motor (model TZ200XYS), which is an increase from the current 150 kW (201 hp); while the high power version remains the same with a 230 kW (308 hp) electric motor (model TZ200XYT). Furthermore, the maximum power of the front electeic motor of the AWD is increased from 150 kW to 160 kW (215 hp), while the maximum power of the rear electric motor remains at 230 kW.
