BYD, a Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer, has arrived in the UK market and is making a significant impact. The company is known for its cutting-edge technology and has already sold half a million cars globally in a month. BYD is building factories in Hungary and Turkey to produce vehicles for Europe, and has also launched electric London buses, trucks, and vans. The company has partnered with Premier League football stars and Uber drivers to promote its cars.
The BYD Sealion 7 is a pure electric SUV that is priced at £49,995. It has a 523hp motor, 4.5-second 0-62mph acceleration, and a top speed of 134mph. The car has a 283-mile range and can recharge to 80% in 24 minutes. The Sealion 7 has a luxurious cabin, a 15.6-inch rotating touchscreen, and heated seats. However, the brakes need improvement and the cabin could be quieter. BYD plans to launch more plug-in hybrids and a smaller EV called DolphinMini, which will be priced at £26k. The company also has a pick-up truck called Shark and a saloon car called Seal.
