The very first live-shots of the new BYD Si Rui, it will debut on the Guangzhou Auto Show on Friday. The Si Rui is BYD’s new flagship sedan, based on the current BYD F6. Design of the Si Rui is a huge improvement again, especially at the front. But it ain’t the exterior we like most, it’s the interior, and more specifically the dashboard:

The touch screen in the center console measures 10.2 inch and controls the infotainment system, which has a gigantic 500GB hard disk. A lotta tech, especially for the price, which will start around 140.000 yuan. Power comes from a 1.5 turbo with 154hp and 240nm, mated to a six-speed DCT.
