BYD pickup truck real car appeared, the hardcore is not inferior to the Ford Raptor, Leopard 5 with the same interior + front and rear double wishbones
The order has exceeded 2 million! Seeing that the popularity of Tesla's Cybertruck is so high, BYD, as a "new energy leader", naturally does not dare to lag behind. The new car will be available in a hybrid and all-electric version, with the former to be launched later this year and the latter in 2025. Among them, the hybrid version of the model may be built with the DMO super hybrid off-road platform of the Formula Leopard Leopard 5, with a similar interior and a rear double wishbone overhang...... Let's find out.
Judging from the actual car picture, the BYD pickup truck will adopt a rather tough design style. Although the front grille is also covered with camouflage, combined with the previous patent drawings, it can be seen that the interior will use the huge size of the "BYD" letter logo, plus the rectangular matrix headlights on both sides, which is quite similar to the style of the Ford Raptor F-150. At the same time, the C-shaped daytime running lights are also added to the outside of the headlights, and through an LED light strip, it creates a scientific and technological atmosphere. The rugged front surround is also embellished with silver guards, which further enhances the hardcore feeling.
The sides of the car continue to be muscular with straight lines, while there will also be wild scuff trims, while the wide wheel arches indicate a longer suspension travel and leave plenty of room for later modifications to purer AT tyres. It will also be equipped with roof racks, side steps, and a stout gantry on the rear bucket. The "BYD" logo on the tailgate echoes the front face, and the rear lights also feature rectangular through-type taillights. The bottom footrest improves practicality.
The interior style is quite similar to that of the Leopard Leopard 5, especially in the sub-instrument console area, which is equipped with air conditioning vents, a wireless charging panel for mobile phones, a lift shift handle, a row of "leopard claw" buttons, and dual cup holders. However, the BYD pickup will be replaced with chrome buttons, orange trim accents, and cut-out handles on both sides. At the same time, the center console will depict the tough guy style through a large-area block design, and be equipped with a suspended central control screen + rectangular full LCD instrument. And the four-spoke steering wheel is also similar to the Leopard 5.
In addition, it can also be found that the BYD pickup does not seem to have a differential lock button, which means that a single-motor version will be available, so as to bring an affordable price. Through the chassis, you can also see the front and rear double wishbone independent suspension of the same model as the Leopard 5, and it has the qualification of trailer. For reference, the Leopard 5 is equipped with a plug-in hybrid system composed of a longitudinal 1.5T engine + front and rear dual motors, with a comprehensive power of 505kW (687 horsepower) and a comprehensive torque of 760Nm.
Finally, in terms of price, some dealers revealed that the starting price of the hybrid version of the BYD pickup truck is expected to be less than 200,000. Of course, the information about the new car has yet to be officially announced, so what do you think about the BYD pickup and how much do you think the price is appropriate?
