BYD Spies New SUV, Possibly Named Yuan MAX, Targeting the Compact Segment

#Chinese Automaker Global Expansion and Competition

[New Vehicle Exposure] Spy photos of BYD's all-new SUV have surfaced, with the model expected to be named Yuan MAX and positioned between the Yuan PLUS and Song Pro.

⚡ Core Development: Yuan Lineup Expands Further, Size Approaching Song Pro

The Yuan MAX will continue BYD’s family design language, likely adopting the front fascia style of the Yuan PLUS, featuring a large grille and LED headlights. The body will incorporate semi-recessed door handles, with a noticeably extended C-pillar section, resulting in overall dimensions expected to closely match those of the Song Pro (length: 4,735 mm).

📊 Key Specifications: Wheelbase Possibly Exceeding 2,700 mm to Enhance Space Competitiveness

Based on current models—the Yuan PLUS (length: 4,455 mm, wheelbase: 2,720 mm) and the Song Pro (wheelbase: 2,712 mm)—the new SUV is anticipated to maintain its compact-class positioning while offering improved passenger and cargo space.

💡 Industry Impact: Aggressive Product Rollout Strengthens Position in Key Segment

This move will further enrich BYD’s product lineup in the mainstream RMB 150,000–200,000 SUV segment, intensifying competition among rivals and testing consumer acceptance of a premium 'Yuan+' derivative model.
