BYD, or “Build Your Dreams,” is a leading Chinese EV maker that has grown from a startup with 20 employees to a global leader in the electric vehicle revolution. The company recently announced the launch of two new brands, YanWang and F-Brand, with the latter offering an electric SUV to rival the Mercedes G-Wagon.
The F-Brand electric SUV will feature 680 hp (500kw) and will begin pre-sales later this year. Photos of the vehicle show it to be almost an exact replica of the Mercedes G-Wagon with a square design and large grille area. Pricing for the new lineup will stay between Denza and YangWang, around 400,000 to 600,000 yuan ($58,000 to $87,000).
BYD’s flagship Han EV is expected to play an integral role in BYD’s overseas expansion. The Han EV is a mid-size luxury sedan featuring a 76.8 kWh pack powered by BYD’s LFP blade batteries. It has an impressive NEDC range of over 600 km (over 371 miles) with fast-charging abilities from 30% to 80% in 34 minutes.
The Chinese EV leader is also planning to launch an electric pickup from the upcoming F-Brand. With its competitive pricing and impressive specs, BYD’s F-Brand lineup is sure to make waves in the EV market.
