The BYD (EV) Thread

Blimey, BYD is going after the Land Rover Defender with this boxy seven-seater

The Ti7 has been confirmed for the UK market, and it’ll be a PHEV with a surprisingly quick 0-62mph time

BYD’s UK arm has confirmed that it’ll bring a new flagship SUV over to the UK. That SUV will be the extremely boxy Ti7 that you see above. Watch out, Land Rover.

The Ti7 was first unveiled as a Fangchengbao in China last year, but it’ll arrive here with a BYD badge and a plug-in hybrid powertrain that pairs two electric motors with a 1.5-litre turbo petrol engine. We’re told that 0-62mph will take just 4.8 seconds, and it’ll manage an all-electric range of 79 miles.

Those are both rather impressive given how large the Ti7 is. At over 5.1m long and almost 2m wide, it’s longer and only slightly narrower than a Defender 110. Not quite as long as a Defender 130, of course, but that’s essentially the size of a small island.

The Ti7 will have space for seven seats inside though, and we’re told that it’ll be aimed at “larger families and those with an active lifestyle”. No real word on its off-road chops just yet though. Well, other than the fact it’ll have all-wheel drive from those twin motors.

Yip, same as the new Toyota FJ: over R800k but you can get a Jetour T2 for closer to R600k. Established brand car prices starting to look farcical now.

And that xpeng is the entry level 62kWh version and it still charges at 380kW and it has heated and cooled massaging front seats.

Yeah Ford has revised their pricing to remain competitive Toyota will have to do the same atleast in the short term...
 
I finally gave in, could not wait any longer for the BYD Denza, bought a T2 iDM.
Busy having it PPF wrapped now, hopefully done soon spoke to a contact at Jetour HQ and they said the G700 should be here Q2 2027. so I will probably buy that or trade the T2 in on it, if the BYD hasnt come yet
