BYD Takes on the Pickup Truck Market with New Electric Model

BYD is making waves with its latest electric pickup truck in the EV market, as recent online leaks reveal the company’s first electric pickup truck. As you may know, automobile manufacturers often test their new models. To obtain accurate results, the vehicle is tested in the real world while being concealed with a camouflage during the final stage of the development process.

The electric pickup truck developed by the company was spotted in this manner. The images showcase a striking and dynamic design that sets it apart from competitors and positions BYD as a force to be reckoned with in the EV pickup segment. The front part of the BYD truck has shiny silver decorations on the grille and headlights. The company’s logo in chrome is the main focus, and the headlights are split-style and have strong lines that show it is tough and durable.

On the side, the vehicle features a cabin equipped with a handy side step and a practical double-row seating configuration. The presence of a charging port above the rear wheel offers convenience for users. The upcoming pickup truck is anticipated to be available in two powertrain configurations: plug-in hybrid and all-electric. Industry insiders suggest that the BYD electric pickup might boast a hydraulic active suspension system, streaming rearview mirrors, Huawei AR-HUD, and a unique column-mounted gear shift arrangement.

According to the previously shared plans, BYD aims to introduce its electric pickup in 2023, potentially launching under a specialized “professional personalization” brand. Pricing for this groundbreaking EV pickup is expected to range from 400,000 to 600,000 Yuan (approximately $60,000 to $90,000), making it a highly anticipated release in the electric vehicle market.
