IT HAS BEEN NEARLY HALF A YEAR SINCE BYD AND TOYOTA ANNOUNCED A PARTNERSHIP, WITH BYD "DOMINANT", BOTH TECHNICAL AND BATTERY ARE THE OPERATORS, WHILE TOYOTA IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DESIGN OF THE EXTERIOR. Recently, a model cooperated by BYD and Toyota appeared at the door of FAW Toyota, or a convertible with a hardtop.
The new car uses a fully camouflage sticker state to appear, and the front face adopts the design language of BYD Dragon face 3.0, which can be seen from the appearance. And from the front face of the style, BYD will also apply the same model of Han EV and Han DM, from the size of the spy photo, the wheelbase of the new car is very long, and the proportion of the body is somewhat uncoordinated, but it is in the road test stage, not a model car.
The new car unveiled in this road test spy photo does not have a windshield installed, and the thickness is relatively thin from the side, and it is very likely that it is not a convertible car that can retract the roof. In terms of taillights, the new car will run through the one-piece style design, and the rear wheel to the rear of the car is a large area. It is very likely that the new car will have a dual-motor layout, and from the seat layout, the new car will adopt a 4-seat layout version
In addition to the front face of BYD Han, as a model of such a large size, this may be BYD's first hard-topped convertible. In terms of power, in addition to the high probability of continuing the power mode of BYDHan EV, in terms of power, the new car is equipped with a 163kW single motor and a 363kW dual motor, respectively, using lithium iron phosphate battery pack. Zero hundred acceleration is up to 4.3 seconds. In addition to pure electric drives, new cars may provide DM-i super hybrid technology to enhance their product power.
Will there be a production version? It is quite possible, and also built with e-platform 3.0, the new car will adopt the design style of Dolphin aesthetics. The convertible is also in BYD's plans for future new cars, which may be unveiled at the auto show next year. Are you looking forward to it? Although BYD and other car companies have launched convertibles, but there is no own product, this may be the first model, and the price may not be too expensive,
