Inside, the BYD Yuan Plus Honor Edition also adds the “Black Knight” color scheme. It combines black shades with silver elements and light green trim. The new color replaced the blue&gray scheme available earlier. So, the updated car has two interior variants: black and gray&black. The center console utilizes a 15.6-inch floating screen with a DiLink 4.0 intelligent system. Other upgrades comprise an intelligent voice assistant and an upgraded heat pump system.
