One of the biggest weaknesses of the BYD Song Pro is definitely its suspension and chassis tuning. The ride quality feels quite stiff and bumpy, especially on rough roads. When making sharper lane changes or turns, the body roll is very noticeable, which reduces confidence while driving.
After driving on gravel roads, the car sways from side to side almost like a boat. Speed bumps are especially uncomfortable — the impact feels harsh, sometimes even less comfortable than riding a two-wheel electric scooter. Even small potholes, manhole covers, or loose stones on normal roads can transmit obvious vibrations into the cabin.
The rear torsion-beam style setup (often criticized compared with more advanced independent suspensions) really shows its limitations in daily driving comfort.
As a first-time car owner, I originally thought “as long as it drives, it’s fine,” so I didn’t pay much attention to chassis quality. Looking back now, I honestly regret that decision a bit.
At the time, I was choosing between the BYD Qin L and the Song Pro. I picked the Song Pro mainly because it offered slightly better features and equipment at a similar price point. But after actually living with the car, I realized that suspension tuning and chassis quality are far more important than extra configurations or features.
