In terms of its exterior, the Song L adopts the avant-garde Dragon Face design philosophy, presenting a harmoniously athletic overall appearance reminiscent of the DENZA N7. The front grille features a closed design with a dragon-face-inspired motif, in line with the design language seen in other models within the BYD family. The component design on the left and right sides of the front bumper enhances the overall sportiness of the vehicle.

The BYD Song L measures 4,840mm in length, 1,950mm in width, and 1,560mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,930mm. While the body size falls within the midsize SUV category, the near 3-meter wheelbase contributes to a spacious interior for comfortable seating. Additionally, the smooth lines from the C-pillar to the rear wing contribute to the car's aerodynamic efficiency, boasting a low drag coefficient of 0.255Cd for improved visual appeal and reduced energy consumption.
