BYD has confirmed the Ti7 as its first seven-seat vehicle for the UK market, introducing a large plug-in hybrid SUV positioned as the company’s flagship model for British customers.
The three-row SUV measures 5,146 mm in length, 1,995 mm in width and 1,865 mm in height, making it the largest vehicle currently planned for BYD’s UK lineup.
The Ti7 uses BYD’s Dual Mode Performance (DM-p) plug-in hybrid powertrain, combining a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine with two electric motors driving all four wheels.
BYD said the SUV can accelerate from 0 to 62 mph in 4.8 seconds while delivering an electric-only WLTP combined driving range of 79 miles.
The DM-p system represents BYD’s performance-oriented plug-in hybrid technology, differing from the company’s efficiency-focused DM-i systems currently used in models including the SEAL U DM-i, SEAL 6 DM-i, SEALION 5 DM-i and ATTO 2 DM-i.
The exterior design adopts rugged styling cues with pronounced wheel arch extensions, a strong shoulder line and a near-vertical rear section. At the front, the SUV features a dual-layer LED lighting signature and a contrasting titanium-finished lower bumper section.
BYD said the Ti7 is aimed at larger families and buyers seeking a spacious SUV with three rows of seating and generous cargo capacity.
The launch also marks BYD’s first seven-seat offering in the UK as the Chinese automaker continues expanding its European product portfolio.
The company has not yet released full specifications or pricing details, but said further information will be announced in the coming weeks.
