Perfect for Europe?
BYD seems to be in the mood for a nice and intense electric hot hatch. During Auto China in Beijing, it presented a preview of an electric hatchback that mobilizes a lot of horsepower. This is the BYD Ocean M!
During Auto China, BYD presented the Sea Lion 07 in more detail to the public. This BYD Ocean M seems to have something to do with that electric crossover, but nothing could be further from the truth. If you look closely, you will see that the Ocean M has its own completely unique body and is therefore not related to that automotive sea lion. So what is it? A fairly concrete preview of an electric hot hatch!
Unfortunately: BYD has not yet released detailed technical specifications. In fact, it does not reveal any information at all about the Ocean M. So we will have to make do with what we see: a fairly stretched electric hatchback with almost Tesla Model 3-like headlights, a large rear light, handles recessed in the doors, but above all : heavy spoiler and bumper work all around.
According to Chinese media, BYD hinted during Auto China that there will simply be a production version of this Ocean M. As its name suggests, it will be a member of BYD’s Ocean family. BYD already supplies the Dolphin, Seal and Seal U from that EV family in the Netherlands. Doesn’t the production version of this Ocean M fit in perfectly? Don’t be surprised if BYD also comes up with a less heavily decorated version of this Ocean M. An electric hatchback-like seems perfect for the European market…
