Overview
- Two variants are slated for Australia, with the front-wheel-drive D9 priced from $85,990 plus on-road costs and the all-wheel-drive version from $95,990 plus on-road costs.
- Both models use a 103.3kWh BYD Blade LFP battery on e-Platform 3.0 with claimed WLTP ranges of about 520km (FWD) and 480km (AWD), plus 200kW DC fast charging, 11kW AC charging and vehicle-to-load capability.
- The FWD version is rated at 230kW and 360Nm, while the AWD steps up to 275kW and 470Nm.
- The seven-seat 2+2+3 cabin features second-row captain’s chairs with ventilation, massage, powered leg rests and individual 5.5-inch controls, along with a 15.6-inch infotainment screen, Dynaudio audio, soft-close doors, a panoramic dual roof and a dual-mode fridge/hotbox.
- A cell-to-body structure integrates the battery for added rigidity and safety, with eight airbags and a full suite of driver assists, and pricing undercuts rivals such as the Zeekr 009 and Lexus LM.
