BYD should be the brand with the most new car debuts at the Beijing Auto Show, unveiling a total of 9 new models. Prices range from hundreds of thousands to millions of RMB. Let’s take a look together – which one do you think you would prefer?
BYD Qin L DM-i
The BYD Dynasty series features the BYD Qin L, which is equipped with BYD’s fifth-generation super hybrid DM-i technology. It comes in two versions: one with a pure electric range of 60 kilometers and another with a range of 90 kilometers. With a length of 4.83 meters and a fuel consumption of only 3.8 liters per hundred kilometers, this size and fuel efficiency might indeed pose significant competition to models like the Volkswagen Sagitar and Honda Civic.
There are two opinions regarding the appearance of this car. One suggests that it’s an extended version of the BYD Qin PLUS, while the other suggests it’s a downsized version of the BYD Han. Based on the design of the front face and taillights, I’m inclined to lean towards the notion of it being a downsized version of the BYD Han. What do you think?
BYD Sea Liong 07
The second model is the Ocean series’ Sea Lion 07, an all-electric SUV. It shares similar dimensions and wheelbase with the Dynasty series’ BYD Song L, making them sister models. However, their appearances are entirely different. The Sea Lion 07’s front face and rear end resemble an enlarged version of a BYD Seal, don’t you think?
BYD Seal 06
The third model: BYD Seal 06. This car actually utilizes the same BYD fifth-generation super hybrid DM-i technology as the BYD Qin L. However, the Seal 06 is a downsized version of the BYD Seal DM-i in terms of appearance, with slight differences in the lower front bumper design.
BYD OCEAN-M
The fourth model: OCEAN-M. This is a vehicle from the Ocean series, with a possible price range of 150,000 to 200,000 RMB. Within the Ocean series, there are numerous overlapping models in this price range. I believe that to sell well, it needs to highlight its niche identity as a two-door steel cannon.
BYD Yangwang U7
The fifth model: BYD Yangwang booth, BYD Yangwang U7. Judging by the name, which one do you think is larger, the BYD Yangwang U7 or the BYD Yangwang U9? Actually, the U9 is a two-door supercar, while the U7 is a larger four-door coupe, similar to the feel of the Porsche Panamera.
Denza Z9GT
TDenza is an automotive brand under BYD. Denza was established in 2010 as a joint venture between BYD and Daimler, a product of the collaboration between BYD and Daimler’s Mercedes-Benz. Despite being a joint venture, the development of the Denza brand has not been particularly smooth. On December 25, 2021, BYD and Daimler signed an agreement to adjust the equity structure of their joint venture, Denza. The agreement aimed to transfer the equity of Denza between the two parties. After the transfer, BYD and Daimler would respectively hold 90% and 10% of the shares in Denza. Therefore, Denza naturally became a luxury brand under BYD.
The Denza Z9GT, where “Z” represents Denza’s sedan series, “9” denotes the flagship model, and “GT” leans towards sportiness and performance attributes. With its sleek coupe design, it’s quite handsome and aims to compete in the market against the Porsche Panamera.
