Overview
This plug-in hybrid SUV bridges efficiency and performance for buyers seeking daily electric commuting with extended range flexibility. The 26.6 kWh Blade Battery supports 128 km pure electric range on WLTC testing, while the 1.5L turbocharged four-cylinder engine and 160 kW motor system combine for 260 N·m torque and 0.85 L/100 km fuel consumption—a practical trade-off between electric convenience and long-haul capability without battery anxiety.
The cabin runs a 15.6-inch infotainment system with 5G connectivity, 12-speaker audio, and DiPilot 100 Level 2 autonomous features including adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, and automatic parking supported by 12 exterior cameras and multiple radar sensors. Five-seat configuration with panoramic sunroof appeals to family and fleet buyers across GCC, African, and Asian markets. Safety coverage includes dual front airbags, side curtain protection, forward and rear collision warning, and comprehensive stability control.
The Song PLUS DM-i targets re-exporters and individual importers who need a modern compact SUV with credible all-electric capability for urban routes and plug-in flexibility for longer trips. The 160 kW electric motor delivers responsive acceleration in electric mode, while the 1.5L turbo engine ensures highway stability and reduced charging dependency. This powertrain pairing suits buyers in markets with developing charging infrastructure who cannot commit to pure electric vehicles but want to minimize fuel spend and emissions on daily commutes.
Interior appointments reflect Chinese market preferences: the panoramic sunroof, premium 15.6-inch touchscreen, and 12-speaker system position the Song PLUS above comparable compact SUVs in the $16,500–$22,500 range. The 4,775 mm body length and 2,765 mm wheelbase provide genuine five-seat comfort without unnecessary bulk, important for buyers reselling into crowded urban markets across Africa, CIS, and Asia-Pacific.
Ownership considerations include a 17-minute fast charging capability for the Blade Battery—a durability advantage over conventional lithium-ion packs—and DiPilot 100 autonomous features that reduce driver fatigue on both local and regional highways. The E-CVT transmission smooths power delivery between motor and engine, though buyers accustomed to traditional automatics may notice a slight lag during peak acceleration. Combined 1,500 km range eliminates the anxiety of pure-electric-only vehicles while the 128 km electric-only capability covers most daily usage without burning fuel or generating emissions in congested city centers.
