From an exterior perspective, the new car is designed with a unique "oceanic" theme in mind, flaunting a distinctive wave-shaped front light. The dual-layer LED daytime running lights add to its sleek design.
A prominent feature of the rear end is the interlocking lens-style tail lights, which offer a futuristic look. The overall dimensions of the vehicle are 47.8 inches in length, 71.9 inches in width, and 151.5 inches in height, with an axle-to-span ratio of 27.18 inches.
Upon entering the interior, one is greeted by a full liquid crystal monitor dashboard and an expansive central control screen. The steering wheel features a family-style trident design reminiscent of oceanic navigation, lending it an air of dynamism. Equipped with a high-resolution visor and ring-mounted switches, the cabin exudes advanced convenience.
The vehicle's powertrain is harnessed by a 1.5L hybrid motor system featuring BYD's fifth-generation DM technology. Capable of delivering up to 101 horsepower from its combustion engine, paired with 163 horsepower electric engines, coupled with an electronically-constant CVT transmission for effortless driving, the combined mileage is poised for extensive travel over 2,000km.
