BYD has achieved a remarkable milestone with the launch of its all-new Song Ultra EV, which garnered over 60,000 orders within just one month of its debut in the Chinese market. Priced from under $22,000, the electric SUV is one of the most compelling options in the mid-range segment.
What makes the BYD Song Ultra EV special?
The Song Ultra EV is among the first vehicles equipped with BYD’s next-generation Blade battery and Flash Charging technology. This allows the battery to charge for 400 kilometers of range in just 5 minutes, addressing one of the biggest barriers to EV adoption: charging time.
Blade Battery: Safety and performance
The Blade battery, known for its high safety standards and fire resistance, has been improved in the new version to offer higher energy density and longer lifespan. The car delivers a range of up to 600 kilometers on a single charge (NEDC cycle).
How much will the BYD Song Ultra EV cost in Saudi Arabia?
Although the car has not yet been launched in Gulf markets, an estimated price in Saudi riyals can be derived from its Chinese price. At $22,000 (approximately SAR 82,500), plus shipping and customs, the estimated price could range from SAR 100,000 to SAR 110,000. This positions it as a strong competitor to the Tesla Model Y and Hyundai Ioniq 5.
Is the BYD Song Ultra EV suitable for the Gulf climate?
With high temperatures in the Gulf, the Blade battery is an excellent choice due to its resistance to heat. The ultra-fast charging will also be beneficial as fast-charging stations expand in Saudi Arabia and the UAE. However, the biggest challenge remains the availability of spare parts and service, which BYD is working to improve in the region.
Competition in the Chinese market
The Song Ultra EV directly competes with models like the Xpeng G6, Nio ES6, and Li Auto L7. Its low price and fast-charging advantage have given it an edge in initial orders. According to Electrek, orders exceeded 60,000 in the first month, a record for the mid-priced EV segment.
When will the BYD Song Ultra EV arrive in Saudi Arabia?
BYD has not officially announced a global launch date, but exports to Europe and the Middle East are expected to begin in 2027. In Saudi Arabia, the car may arrive through local distributors like Mohamed Yousuf Naghi or others, but no confirmation has been given yet.
