31 July 2026 BYD, the world’s leading manufacturer of New-Energy Vehicles (plug-in hybrid and fully electric), has confirmed UK pricing and specifications for its first seven-seater car in the UK - the Ti 7. With prices starting from £47,995, it also introduces a debut for BYD in the country: the first car in its range to launch with DM-p (Dual Mode performance) powertrain.

The seven-seat arrangement for the Ti 7 has been developed specifically for the European and UK markets, while the high level of standard equipment and powertrain specification create an SUV that’s desirable both in terms of its looks and its value.

DM-p POWERTRAIN COMES TO BYD IN THE UK FOR THE FIRST TIME
A key to the Ti 7’s mechanical make-up is its use of DM-p Super Hybrid with DM technology. Consisting of three motors – one at the front and one at the rear – DM-p augments the electrical energy with a longitudinally mounted 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine. In total, this system produces 408PS, delivering performance that vastly exceeds the closest competition. As a result, 0-62mph is dispatched in only 4.8 seconds*, with a top speed of 118mph.

However, this performance has not come at the expense of efficiency – another key benefit of the DM-p powertrain. For the most part, the petrol engine uses its 150PS output to generate energy for BYD's 35.6kWh Blade Battery, blending electric response and refinement with petrol flexibility and range. On electric energy alone, it can cover up to 74 miles*.

HIGH SPECIFICATION OF STANDARD EQUIPMENT
The Ti 7 will be available in the UK solely in flagship Excellence AWD specification, offering a level of equipment that exceeds anything that its rivals can offer at this price point. But even in advance of studying its technical features, it offers a deeply desirable appearance.

An unapologetically boxy profile delivers the imposing, chunky design that finds favour among SUV buyers, yet delivers a contemporary look. The rugged experience is boosted by 20-inch alloy wheels housed within chunky wheel arch extensions, plus privacy glass from the rear doors and beyond.

Exterior illumination is provided both by LED lighting all round; the headlights feature a dynamic welcome animation, while door-mirror puddle lights offer extra visibility when approaching the car at night.

Customers have six exterior finishes to choose from: Starlight Silver is a no-cost offering, while Mountain Green, Obsidian Black, Jade Green and Titanium Grey are available for a further £1,100. A final shade, the Matte Titanium Grey, costs an additional £2,000.

The windscreen and front windows are made from acoustic glass to further improve occupancy refinement, while the full interior is bathed in light thanks to a panoramic glass panel in the roof.

Leather upholstery features as standard, and is available in three finishes: black, light grey or brown. Seat heating and ventilation is available to the front seats and the outer seats in the second row, and three-zone climate control allows each row to maintain its own temperature. Further temperature control is offered for occupants’ drinks or snacks, courtesy of an in-car refrigerator and drinks warmer located between the driver and front passenger.

As customers have come to expect from every BYD product, the Ti 7’s in-car technology comes to the fore. A 15.6-inch touchscreen is standard, while a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster is positioned ahead of the driver. And an 18-speaker sound system provides immersive audio.

ABOVE AND BEYOND THE PRACTICALITY DEMANDED OF A SEVEN-SEAT SUV
Beyond the interior equipment, occupants are treated to a sense of sophistication through all three rows of the spacious cabin. Middle-row passengers benefit from seats which can adjust in four different directions, with generous knee- and headroom across all three seats.

The third-row seats add an extra dimension of versatility to the Ti 7, granting extra passenger capacity when required or, when folded away, offering a boot capacity of 970 litres. In seven-seat mode, boot capacity stands at 126 litres, while folding the second and third rows away increases the total capacity to 1830 litres.

Ti 7 AVAILABLE TO ORDER NOW, WITH A £500 BYD CONTRIBUTION FOR EARLY ADOPTERS
Full specifications of the Ti 7 will be confirmed in due course, while customers can expect first deliveries in January 2027. The Ti 7 is available to pre-order now from all BYD retailers, and customers who want to be among the first to take delivery can place a £500 pre-order which will be matched by a £500 contribution from BYD.
