The BYD Song Plus (Chinese: 比亚迪宋PLUS) is a compact crossover SUV manufactured by BYD Auto since 2020. It is part of the BYD Song series of SUVs that are named after the Song dynasty. Initially available solely as an internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle with a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine, in 2021 BYD introduced the plug-in hybrid Song Plus DM-i and the battery electric Song Plus EV. The petrol model was phased out in 2022 after BYD ended production of ICE vehicles.

Originally part of the Dynasty Series line-up, the Song Plus has been sold in China through the Ocean Network dealership chain since 2022 to diversify the offerings of the newly established Ocean Series.[5][6] The Dynasty Series counterpart of the Song Plus, the Song L DM-i, was introduced in 2024.

In 2023, BYD introduced the Song Plus EV as the BYD Seal U in Europe. The plug-in hybrid Seal U DM-i was introduced later in 2024. In mid-2024, the plug-in hybrid model was introduced in Australia, New Zealand, the Philippines and Thailand as the BYD Sealion 6 DM-i.[7][8]

As of 2024, the Song Plus is the best-selling BYD SUV in China. Global cumulative production of the model (excluding the ICE-powered variant) surpassed 1 million units by July 2024.[9]
