Recently, a group of spy photos of BYD's new SUV model road test have been exposed online. it is understood that the new car is located in the B-class SUV market, eventually named "frigate 07" and become a new model of BYD's warship series. The new car is expected to go into production in May and go on sale in the first half of the year.

From the spy photos exposed, the body of the new car is covered with heavy camouflage material, so the appearance information of the new car is not yet known, but some information about the appearance of the new car can still be obtained by combining the previously exposed patent drawings of the new car appearance. The front face of the new car is similar to the destroyer 05, the first model of the warship series. as a mass-produced model of the BYD X DREAM concept car, the front face uses a borderless net, and the overall shape looks more square and fashionable. The waistline of the car is straight, C-column or metal trim with dragon scale pattern, and the door handle adopts pop-up design. In the rear part, the new car taillight uses a penetrating design, while the shape of the lower surrounding part is more concise. In addition, in the spy photos exposed this time, there is a tail mark with the word "frigate 07" on the rear of the new car, which also means that there is a good chance that the new car will be BYD frigate 07. However, so far, the above news has not been officially confirmed by BYD. If the above news is true, frigate 07 may become the second warship series after the destroyer 05. But whether this is the case in the end remains to be known by further official announcements.

In the interior part, the new car is expected to maintain the same design style as the Destroyer 05. According to the information exposed so far, the new car may be equipped with a full LCD instrument and a 15.6inch central control screen and integrated with the DiLink intelligent network connection system.

In terms of power, the new car will be equipped with a BYD DM-i 4.0 hybrid system, with a 1.5T high-power engine and a pure electric mileage 200km.

According to the production schedule shown in the preparation notice posted online, the frigate 07 will be put into production in May this year and will have a production capacity of 61700 vehicles this year. Judging from the positioning and power performance of the new car shown above, the positioning of the new car is expected to be higher than the Song PLUS DM-i model of the BYD dynasty series. In terms of market competition, the new car is expected to compete with the BYD Song PLUS DM-i after its launch.
