BYD says the cabin is finished in only the highest quality materials. These include full-grain semi-aniline leather, real wood veneers and metal switchgear. In a very Chinese twist, BYD has also mounted small gems of polished yellow jade inside the air vents, and there’s intricate silk embroidery inspired by ceremonial Chinese textiles. 

The cabin’s design itself is also completely symmetrical, but the Chinese infusion of tech isn’t particularly hidden. Notably BYD has fitted a large 21.4-inch overhead screen for rear passengers, each of whom will sit in individual ‘zero-gravity’ chairs with massage functionality, heating and cooling.

Precise power and torque figures for the quad-motor electric drivetrain are yet to be confirmed, but we expect a peak well above 1,000bhp. With four individual motors it will be capable of doing tricks like tank-turns and full torque vectoring, and it even has the capacity to survive a destructive force of nature, thanks to the ability to float and remain watertight inside.

Behind the standard 21-inch wheels is a sophisticated suspension system that’ll read the road ahead and prepare the car for any bumps or intrusions. There’s even tech that will keep it driving in a straight line if there’s a tyre blow-out.
