Recently, BYD Pickup has exposed a set of interior patent drawings. Overall, it continues the design language of BYD's passenger car family, but adds a bit of hardcore atmosphere and luxury. The new car is expected to be officially unveiled next year, and may be part of the BYD Ocean Network series. In terms of power, it will be equipped with pure electric and plug-in hybrid versions.
According to the patent drawing, it can be seen that the central control layout of the new car continues BYD's family-style design language. The large-size inlaid central control screen and LCD instrument are very eye-catching. In addition, the new car will most likely be equipped with a HUD head-up display function, reflecting strong passenger attributes. In terms of storage space, there are storage compartments in the central aisle and in front of the passenger seat, which brings good practicality.
In terms of appearance, according to the previously disclosed patent pictures and renderings, it can be seen that its design style reflects the hardcore visual look and feel of a pickup truck. The integrated headlights and the large "BYD" logo in the front grille are very impactful. Patent documents show that the appearance of BYD's pickup truck is led by BYD's chief scientist Lian Yubo, and is jointly responsible for global design director Wolfgang Egger, Yin Yadong, Yan Xiaoyu and others.
As for the price that everyone is most concerned about, the version equipped with the same DM-o hybrid architecture as the Fangbao is bound to cost more than 200,000, and may be equipped with BYD's flagship Yunnan chassis. High-end configurations such as hydraulic active suspension systems, streaming rearview mirrors, and AR-HUD will most likely be equipped. Such hardware and software configurations are destined to make BYD pickups not too affordable.
is written at the end:
As BYD’s first model to enter the pickup truck market, the author predicts that the new car is likely to have full configurations and a relatively high price to establish the product tone, and it is expected that a low-end version or other more advanced models will be launched later. For products that are friendly to the people, the final price range for mass sales should still be in the range of 100,000-150,000 yuan. We also look forward to BYD, as a leader in the domestic new energy market, to bring its pickup products to us as soon as possible and bring consumers a plethora of pickup options.
