Byd does not build many cars like the BYD e7: a 4-door sedan, built from 2025 in the decade the industry is turning electric. Its designer of record is Under the lead of Wolfgang Egger.
Where it came from
The BYD e7 is a battery electric mid-size sedan manufactured by BYD Auto since 2025. It was officially unveiled on 9 April 2025. On 17 May 2025, it was officially released with a starting price of ¥103,800 RMB.
Under the skin
it is rated at 134 hp. Kerb weight is 1499-1566 kg. Power-to-weight lands near 89 horsepower per tonne, which is unhurried — enough for the job, not for the bragging. The layout matters: the engine drives the front wheels, the packaging choice that gives a small car a big cabin. The wheelbase is 2820 mm. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
In context
Where it sits in Byd's history is not in doubt: it was built at China. On a showroom list of its day it stood against the Changan Automobile Avatr 06, the Renault Boreal, the Mazda CX-6e. Nearby in the Byd catalogue sit the BYD 8TT and the BYD Atto 2.
