BYD Frigate 07 is an all-new plug-in model, unveiled at the Chengdu Auto Show in August, with a goal to start deliveries in Q4 of this year.<\/p>\n

Just like the plug-in hybrid BYD Destroyer 05, which entered the market in March<\/a>, the Frigate 07 belongs to the “Ocean” family. The list of trademarks reserved by BYD includes also Cruiser, Lander, and Battleship, which indicate that more PHEVs are in the pipeline.<\/p>\n

BEVs from the Ocean series are named after animals, like the BYD Dolphin<\/a> and the latest BYD Seal<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In general, the Ocean models are positioned below the Dynasty models (like Qin, Song, Tang and Han), which are also available in both BEV and PHEV versions.<\/p>\n

The BYD Frigate 07 is a mid-size SUV with two plug-in hybrid powertrain options: DM-i – focused on fuel economy and DM-p – focused on performance.<\/p>\n

The DM-i has a single 145 kW electric motor in the front, while the DM-p has two electric motors (145 kW in the front and 150 kW in the rear) to achieve acceleration of 0-100 km\/h in 4.7 seconds.<\/p>\n

Not all details are known yet (like the battery capacity), but according to CnEVPost<\/em>, the DM-i is expected to offer 100 km (62 miles) of all-electric range, while the DM-p will get a bigger battery for up to 200 km (124 miles) of EV range. Even if the test cycle is a rather optimistic CLTC, the EV range is pretty good for a PHEV.<\/p>\n

The BYD Frigate 07 DM-i in pre-sales starts at 220,000-280,000 CNY ($30,860-$39,280), while the DM-p starts at 289,800-329,800 CNY ($40,654-$46,265) after subsidies.<\/p>\n
