BYD Song L DM-i Parts

Match the OE number. Every part on this site is listed under the OE number printed on the original part, and if the number on the part you are replacing matches the listing, the part fits. That check matters on the Song L DM-i because the 2026 model changed several parts without changing the body shape, and the Song L EV shares the name but little else. If the old part is missing or its number cannot be read, send a photo through the quote form and we will reply within 24 hours, usually sooner.

No. The Song L EV is a fully electric car on BYD's e-Platform 3.0 that went into production in December 2023. It has a 2,930 mm wheelbase, a length of 4,840 mm and a height of 1,560 mm. The DM-i is a plug-in hybrid with a petrol engine under the bonnet, built on a 2,782 mm wheelbase and measuring 4,780 mm long and 1,670 mm high. Body panels, glass, trim and suspension do not cross between them. Check for the fuel filler before ordering, then match each part by OE number.

Some may, but do not assume it. The Song Plus DM-i was launched on the same evening as the Song L DM-i. It uses the same fifth-generation DM hybrid powertrain and is a similar size, but it has its own body and styling. Engine and hybrid drive parts are the most likely to be shared. Panels, lights, glass and interior trim should be treated as different. The only safe check is the OE number: if the number on your old part matches the listing, it fits, whichever car the listing names.

Look at the door handles and the gear selector. The launch car, sold from July 2024, has fully hidden exterior door handles and a gear selector on the centre console. The 2026 model, launched in October 2025, has semi-hidden handles, a selector stalk on the steering column and a dot pattern in the front grille. The body shape and dimensions are unchanged, so the side profile will not help. For parts that changed between the two, confirm with the build date on the car's identification plate, then match by OE number.

It does. Alongside the new handles, column selector and grille, the 2026 model made DiSus-C electronically controlled damping and TBC tyre blowout stability control standard. The 12.9 kWh battery was dropped, leaving 18.3 kWh with 130 km of CLTC electric range and 26.6 kWh with 200 km, and DC charging became faster. Two new colours were added as well. Before ordering door handles, the gear selector, the grille, dampers, or battery and charging parts, read the build date on the identification plate and match by OE number.

Three Blade lithium iron phosphate packs have been used, of 12.9, 18.3 and 26.6 kWh. On the launch car they gave 75, 112 and 160 km of CLTC electric range. On the 2026 model only the 18.3 and 26.6 kWh packs remain, rated at 130 and 200 km. Because the same pack carries a different range figure across the two model years, the range alone will not tell you which pack is fitted. Read the pack label or the old part, and order battery and charging parts by OE number.

Two sizes are used, 225/60 R18 and 235/50 R19. The launch car was shown on 19-inch wheels, and the 18-inch size appears on some 2026 versions. The size therefore depends on the version rather than the model year alone. Read the size on the sidewall of the tyres already fitted before ordering tyres or rims, and take the pressures from the label on the car. For brake and hub parts, match by the OE number on the old part rather than by wheel size.

DiSus-C is BYD's electronically controlled damping system, and it is standard on the 2026 model. Its dampers are wired into the car and adjusted while driving, so a conventional passive damper is not a like-for-like replacement. Equally, a DiSus-C damper should not be assumed to suit a car built without the system. Check whether the car has it before ordering, using the build date on the identification plate and the old damper itself, then match the damper and its fittings by OE number.

The Smart Driving Edition, added on 10 February 2025, carries BYD's God's Eye C driver-assistance system, which uses forward cameras and radar. It was sold alongside the standard car, so two cars of the same age can have different hardware behind the windscreen and bumper. After a windscreen replacement or front-end repair, the cameras and radar need recalibrating, and brackets bent in the damage may need replacing too. Order the windscreen, sensors and brackets by the OE numbers on the parts you remove.

Yes. The 74 kW 1.5-litre petrol engine needs engine oil, an oil filter, an air filter, four spark plugs and the sensors any petrol engine has. Owners who charge every night may find the engine runs very little. The service schedule takes account of engine running as well as time, so the odometer alone can mislead. Use the oil grade given in the handbook for this engine rather than a familiar grade from another car, and order filters and plugs by OE number.

Do not assume you can. The car uses a lithium iron phosphate low-voltage battery with its own management electronics rather than a conventional lead-acid unit, so a generic battery is not a like-for-like replacement. Check the old battery before ordering, because its label and OE number show exactly what the car needs. If the car will not wake after standing for weeks, look at the low-voltage battery before suspecting the key fob, then order the matching unit by OE number.

No. The launch car uses fully hidden exterior handles that sit flush with the door. The 2026 model moved to semi-hidden handles. The two designs differ in shape and mechanism, so a handle from one year will not suit a car from the other. Look at the handles on the car to confirm which type is fitted, and note which door the handle comes from. Then order by the OE number on the old handle, or send a photo through the quote form if the number is unreadable.
