BYD to launch 1st DM-i plug-in hybrid SUV in India
BYD, the Chinese electric-vehicle giant, is gearing up to launch its very first plug-in hybrid SUV in India.
This marks a shift from its usual all-electric lineup, and the new ride will use BYD's DM-i Super Plug-in Hybrid tech, so you get both gasoline power and electric efficiency, plus no worries about running out of charge.
BYD Atto 2 Sealion 6 candidates
BYD hasn't said which model is coming yet, but the Atto 2 and Sealion 6 are strong possibilities.
The Atto 2 DM-i offers up to 212hp with a mix of gasoline engine and battery options, giving an electric-only range of about 39km and a combined range close to 1,000km.
The Sealion 6 goes even further with up to 140km on electric power alone and a total range over 1,090km.
It's already been spotted testing in India after its Auto Expo debut.
