The BYD Song L EV (Chinese: 比亚迪宋L EV) is a battery electric mid-size crossover SUV manufactured by BYD Auto since 2023. Part of the BYD Song family under the 'Dynasty Series' product line-up, the Song L has the largest footprint among other Song vehicles. While the vehicle shares the same name with the BYD Song L DM-i, both models have minimal relation in styling and mechanical components.

The Song L occupies the Chinese B-class category, or D-segment globally. It is based on the e-Platform 3.0 shared with other BYD battery electric vehicles such as the Seal.

The model was first showcased as a prototype model in April 2023 at the Shanghai Auto Show.[4] The production version was introduced in August 2023 at the Chengdu Auto Show,[5] with pre-sales starting in November 2023.[6]
