Powertrain, battery & charging
Launched with a 1.5 L turbo petrol engine. DM-i: 1.5 L plug-in hybrid with an 8.3 to 26.6 kWh LFP Blade battery depending on version. EV: 71.7 to 87.04 kWh LFP Blade battery.
Where to find the VIN
On most cars the VIN is visible at the base of the windscreen (driver side) and on a label in the driver-side door opening; check your registration document too.
China-spec vs export-spec
Petrol, DM-i and EV versions of the Song Plus have different drivetrains and front-end styling, and the 2024 DM 5.0 update changed the hybrid system, so the version matters. The export Seal U is the Song Plus, not related to the Seal sedan. The Song L is a different, larger model. Charging inlets differ by market: China-spec cars use the GB/T standard and export versions are built for the destination market. Send the VIN.
