Police have launched an investigation following the hit-and-run collision on Dartmouth Road, off Kenrick Way, just before 11pm on Saturday (December 14).
The child died after being taken to hospital alongside four adults, including a woman, aged 29, and a 30-year-old man, who remained in a serious condition on Monday afternoon, West Midlands Police said.
Another woman, aged 30, has been discharged from hospital while a second man, also aged 30, is continuing to receive treatment.
The driver of a grey Porsche Cayenne involved in the crash, which is believed to have been stolen earlier this month, fled the scene.
West Midlands Police has appealed to the driver - who is thought to have been travelling from the island on Kenrick Way before hitting a Toyota - to come forward.

Blue police tape could be spotted tied to a barrier on Dartmouth Road on Monday morning alongside a brown teddy bear in tribute to the young boy who lost his life.
The road was shut following the fatal collision as police worked at the scene, but has since reopened.
Tributes have poured in on social media to the boy.
Cecilia Kaur wrote to Facebook: "Heart breaking news. Thoughts are with the family. Rest in peace little angel. Hope the driver is caught and a rough sentence is given."
Anyone with information about the crash should contact SCIU@westmidlands.police.uk, call 101 or get in touch via Live Chat on the West Midlands Police website between 8am and midnight, quoting log 4421 of December 14.
