The interior is very dark and combines an analog instrument panel with a very large Tesla-like touch screen. Low-spec versions get a smaller screen.

Engines: 154hp 1.5 turbo and a rather old 140hp 2.0, both mated to a six-speed manual or a six-speed DCT. BYD is also working on a rather spectacular 303hp hybrid but that variant will launch in 2018.

Size: 4680/1810/1680, and wheelbase is 2785.
