The car features a coupe-style design with a coupe-crossover stance.
Song L combines BYD's pioneering technology for young users who are looking for a stylish and sporty vehicle, the company said.
The vehicle is a pioneering SUV that combines sport and power in a styling style that breaks with tradition and is the aesthetic of the next generation of the Dynasty product array, it said.
Song L is based on BYD's e-Platform 3.0 and will have CTB (cell-to-body) technology, and intelligent electric four-wheel drive.
The model will have an electric rear wing, and electronic mirrors, giving it a more pronounced sporty character.
BYD announced last Friday on Weibo that Song L, the B-class all-electric SUV of the Dynasty series, will debut at the Shanghai auto show.
The rearview mirror replaces the traditional mirrors on either side of the vehicle with a camera, a forward-thinking design that promises lower wind resistance and longer range. Chinese regulations will allow the use of such mirrors on vehicles starting July 1.
The Song Max DM-i and Song Pro DM-i currently on sale are part of the Dynasty series, while the Song Plus DM-i and Song Plus EV are part of the Ocean series. The Song L will be a new member of the Dynasty series.
