BYD has released its new large plug-in hybrid SUV at China, with a peak electric-only driving range claim of at least 170km, and a potential zero to 100km/h time of 4.7 seconds.

Prices for the Frigate 07 in China are between 202,800 yuan (AUD 43,000 / USD 29,000 ) and 289,800 yuan (AUD61,500 / USD 41,500) after subsidies.

The 4820mm-long BYD Frigate 07 PHEV is about the size of a KIA Sorento PHEV, and slightly larger than a Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV (4710mm) or Mazda CX-60 PHEV (4740mm).

It offers a long claimed EV-only range of between 82km (WLTC) and 100km (NEDC) in smaller-battery form, and 170km (WLTC) and 205km (NEDC) for the bigger battery.

BYD’s spec sheet shows a fuel tank of 60 litres, suggesting a driving range above 1200km based on efficiency claims of under 5.5L/100km post battery depletion.
