Unveiling Cutting-Edge PHEV Technology
The

Dual-Mode Intelligence (DM-i) system. This hybrid technology combines a powerful motor with a high-efficiency engine, providing several notable features such as:

This allows drivers to rely solely on electric power for daily commutes while having the flexibility of the hybrid engine for longer travels.

This model also marks BYD's fifth electric vehicle introduction in the Japanese market, following models like the
BYD ATTO 3,
BYD DOLPHIN,
BYD SEAL, and
