The Yuan Plus has been a global best-seller for the BYD until recently, only to be usurped by the introduction of its bigger brother, the Sealion 7.

Locally, it’s much the same, as the all-electric SUV constantly ranks at the top of the sales charts for the brand and for electric vehicles overall.

The Yuan Plus is styled conservatively, as are most mass market SUVs. It doesn’t get BYD’s Ocean-theme design language, because it’s not an ocean-named vehicle. Instead, The Yuan Plus receives what they term Dragon Face styling, which is visually safe, but attractive within its rather compact-looking footprint.
