Powered by BYD’s Xiaoyun 1.5L gasoline engine (43.04% thermal efficiency) paired with dual high-speed electric motors and Blade battery technology, the vehicle operates primarily in electric mode for most driving scenarios.

BYD offers two configurations: The Active variant features a 7.8 kWh Blade battery, delivering 166 hp (122 kW) and 24 miles (38 km) of pure electric range, with a total range of 577 miles (928 km). Acceleration from 0 to 62 mph takes 9.1 seconds.

The Boost variant upgrades to an 18.0 kWh battery, producing 212 hp (156 kW) and extending pure electric range to 55 miles (90 km)—ideal for daily zero-emission driving. It achieves a combined range of 620 miles (1,000 km), 0-62 mph in 7.5 seconds, and a WLTP fuel efficiency of 156 mpg (1.5 L/100 km).

This variant also delivers 209 hp, a top speed of 112 mph (180 km/h), and retains the 1,000 km total range for seamless long-distance travel.
