Overview
The second-generation Yuan Plus was unveiled in April 2026 at the Beijing Auto Show. BYD positions it as the "third generation" of the Yuan Plus nameplate. The release of the second-generation model followed a sharp decline in domestic sales of the first-generation Yuan Plus. The model officially went on sale in China on 21 May 2026 in four trim levels. BYD stated the update offers up to 120 km of additional range over the outgoing generation. According to Lu Tian, general manager of BYD's Dynasty sales network, the model received more than 30,000 orders within its first week on sale.
Design
The second-generation Yuan Plus adopts BYD's Loong Face (Dragon Face) design language with sharp headlights, a chrome element between them, and semi-hidden door handles. It also has a full-width rear light bar incorporating a woven-pattern lighting element. Compared to the first generation, the second-generation Yuan Plus grew by 210 mm in length, 50 mm in width, and the wheelbase was extended by 50 mm, moving the model in a larger segment. In China, the vehicle is offered in nine exterior finishes, including dual-tone versions of Fantasy Pink, Trendy Blue, and Green.
Powertrain
The second-generation Yuan Plus switches from the front-wheel-drive layout of its predecessor to a rear-wheel-drive architecture, powered by a rear-mounted electric motor producing either 200 kW or 240 kW, compared with 150 kW on the outgoing model. Two second-generation Blade Battery packs are offered, at 57.545 kWh and 68.547 kWh, providing CLTC range ratings of 540 km and 630 km respectively, running on an 800-volt architecture. The model supports BYD's Flash Charging system, capable of a 10 to 70 percent charge in five minutes, or 10 to 97 percent in nine minutes under suitable conditions.
