BYD continues to expand its electric vehicle family. While doing so, the company follows a different strategy than its competitors, producing various models for different needs through its sub-brands. One of these subsidiaries is the F Brand. This company, established to manufacture premium vehicles, has been in the news due to leaks for some time now. Most recently, spy photos revealing the interior of the first F Brand car from BYD have been exposed. Here are the details…

BYD F-Brand to Challenge Mercedes-Benz G-Class with New Hybrid Power System

BYD is gearing up to launch its all-new F series. The first car from this new brand will be a robust new energy off-road vehicle, predicted to be released in the fourth quarter of this year, with a price range between 400.000 to 600.000 yuan. Exterior spy shots of the car have already been revealed, and recently, interior photos were captured.

Leaked images of the new F-Series interior have revealed a significant amount of information about the upcoming truck. The interior adopts the usual design of rugged off-road vehicles, utilizing flat lines and elements. It boasts a fully digital dashboard, a large central control screen, and a co-pilot entertainment screen. There’s even a camera on the ‘A’ pillar, which is likely to be used for facial recognition, potentially automating some common features such as seat memory.

The wireless phone charging panel is located below the central control screen and is capable of dual wireless charging. This means that two phones can be charged simultaneously, which is a convenient feature for passengers. The electronic gear shift is located in the center console and has a militant design that resembles the cockpit of an aircraft. The gear shift has four different function buttons on either side, which could be used for differential lock adjustment.

Looking back at the exterior, the vehicle has a fairly square shape, but its size is much smaller than the Yangwang U8. Even with a small backpack, it’s unlikely to exceed 5 meters, which should make it more agile to drive. In addition, this vehicle will be equipped with dual-motor four-wheel drive, front-middle-rear three differential locks, and a range of over 1000 kilometers. It also offers as many as six driving modes.

The new car will carry BYD’s latest hybrid power system, which doesn’t follow the rumored extended-range technology route. The all-new hybrid power system will continue the technical advantages of DM-i and DM-p. The maximum power of the car will exceed 500 kilowatts, surpassing the Mercedes-Benz G63, the benchmark of off-road vehicles, which boasts a power of 430 kilowatts.
