BYD's Song Plus has phased out globally

Jan 17, 2026
BYD's Song Plus has phased out globally


  1. BYD has phased out the Song Plus globally.
    The model, contributing to the Song family’s sales of 788,003 units in 2025, has been removed from BYD’s global lineup as part of product streamlining.

  2. Song Plus remains a top-selling EV in Ethiopia.
    It continues to perform strongly in the Ethiopian market. Commonly listed at about 5.1–6.5 million ETB in local market prices

  3. The model is being repositioned, not fully discontinued.
    BYD is shifting Song Plus within its portfolio rather than ending production entirely.

  4. This reflects BYD’s broader global strategy shift.
    Product decisions are driven by global alignment, not individual market performance.
