Overview

The Yuan Up is based on the e-Platform 3.0 and powered by BYD Blade lithium-ion LFP Battery. The Yuan Up was launched in China on 26 March 2024 in three variants, with the option between 32 and 45.1 kWh battery option sizes.[2] [3]

The Yuan Up adopts the Dragon Face design concept that is used on the Song L EV, with a 'dragon face' front fascia, flap-type door handles, a floating roof design, a full length rear taillight bar similar to the Dolphin, and the rear bumper apron mimics the front bumper.[4] [5]

The interior has a D-shaped steering wheel with a signature Yuan (元) logo, 8.8-inch LCD instrument cluster, a 12.8-inch infotainment touchscreen display which can rotate between landscape and portrait modes, perforated leatherette upholstery for the seats, a wireless charging pad, a crystal gear selector and physical buttons in the centre console.
