BYD has officially confirmed the arrival of the Ti7 in the British market, with full pricing and specifications set to be announced in the coming weeks.
The BYD Ti7 will become the brand’s first seven seat SUV in the UK and the first BYD model there to feature the DM p plug in hybrid powertrain.
The vehicle belongs to the large three row SUV segment, measuring 5.14 meters in length, 1.99 meters in width, and 1.86 meters in height, while also offering generous cargo space.
In terms of design, the Ti7 features a front fascia with dual layer LED lighting, a front bumper finished with titanium style accents, a boxy overall shape, prominent wheel arches, a strong shoulder line, and an upright rear design.
For the UK market, the Ti7 uses BYD’s DM p plug in hybrid system, combining a 1.5 liter turbocharged gasoline engine with dual electric motors powering all four wheels. BYD says the SUV can accelerate from 0 to 62 mph, around 100 kmh, in 4.8 seconds, while delivering an electric only WLTP range of 79 miles, approximately 127 kilometers.
Beyond the official announcement, the Ti7 is expected to compete against large SUVs such as the Land Rover Defender 110 and Toyota Land Cruiser, especially given its large dimensions, boxy styling, and rugged road presence.
Reports suggest the Ti7 is built on a unibody platform with a wheelbase measuring 2.92 meters. The DM p system is also believed to use a 35.6 kWh LFP battery pack, while total output could exceed 600 horsepower.
Inside, the cabin follows BYD’s latest design direction, featuring a large central infotainment display, a digital instrument cluster, a four spoke steering wheel, dual wireless phone chargers, soft touch materials throughout the interior, and ambient lighting.
In China, the Ti7 is sold under BYD’s Fang Cheng Bao sub brand, where a fully electric version is also available. That EV variant comes either with rear wheel drive producing 402 horsepower or dual motor all wheel drive delivering 691 horsepower, paired with either a 92 kWh or 105.7 kWh battery pack. However, the fully electric version has not yet been confirmed for Europe.
