BYD’s new PH-EV

Chinese automaker BYD has unveiled its latest plug-in hybrid, the Seal 07 DM-i, boasting an impressive claimed range of 2000 km. This extraordinary figure will change the way we perceive electric vehicles, offering drivers the best of both worlds: electric efficiency and the peace of mind that comes with a traditional internal combustion engine.

The Seal 07 DM-i comes equipped with two powertrain options and two battery sizes, allowing customers to choose the model that best suits their needs. The combination of electric and petrol power ensures a longer driving range, reducing the frequency of refuelling stops.

Some of the Key Advancements include: 

Blade Battery: BYD's proprietary Blade Battery technology is at the heart of the Seal 07 DM-i's extended range. This lithium-iron-phosphate battery is known for its safety and energy density.   

DM-i Powertrain: The DM-i (Distributed Electric) powertrain combines a highly efficient internal combustion engine with an electric motor for optimal performance and fuel economy.

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS): The Seal 07 DM-i is likely to come equipped with a suite of 
ADAS features, including adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and automatic emergency braking.

Connected Car Technology: Expect the Seal 07 DM-i to offer advanced connectivity features, such as over-the-air updates, smartphone integration, and voice control.   

As the electric vehicle market continues to evolve, BYD's Seal 07 DM-i represents an exciting development. If brought to Australia, it could appeal to consumers seeking a balance between environmental responsibility and driving convenience.
