The engineering
Power comes from Petrol engine; other versions carried different engines, listed in the specification table below. It weighs 1660-1775 kg. It shifts through a E-CVT. The layout matters: the engine drives the front wheels, the packaging choice that gives a small car a big cabin. The wheelbase is 2790 mm. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
Where it sits
Its family tree is legible: assembly was at Changsha, Hunan. Its contemporaries in the catalogue — the Tesla Cybertruck, the Nissan Z, the Kia EV6 — show what else the money bought that year. Its Byd stablemates include the BYD 8TT and the BYD Atto 2.
