BYD has announced UK pricing and a timetable for its Ti7 seven‑seat plug‑in hybrid (PHEV). The company has set a starting price of £47,995 for the model, will open UK order books in November and expects initial deliveries to commence in January 2027.
BYD is offering the Ti7 as a PHEV‑only model. UK customers will be able to reserve a vehicle with a £500 deposit; BYD has said it will match that deposit with an additional £500 contribution.
Positioning and trim
The Ti7 is being presented by BYD as a seven‑seat flagship aimed at large premium SUVs. BYD identifies the Land Rover Defender, Volvo XC90, Toyota Land Cruiser and Audi Q7 as reference models in the segment. The company will offer the Ti7 in a single trim level described as Excellence and says it will be the first BYD model destined for the UK to use the AWD DM‑p (Dual Mode performance) Super Hybrid powertrain.
Powertrain, range and performance
BYD describes the Ti7’s drivetrain as a three‑motor arrangement combined with a longitudinally mounted 1.5‑litre turbocharged petrol engine and a 35.6kWh battery. The company gives an estimated combined range of up to 441 miles and an electric‑only range of 74 miles on a single charge.
Performance figures supplied by BYD for the Ti7 include a combined output of 402bhp, a top speed of 118mph and a 0–62mph acceleration time of 4.8 seconds.
Interior equipment and practicality
BYD lists a series of interior and convenience features for the Ti7. Leather upholstery is standard, with finish options in black, light grey or brown. The front and rear outer seats are both described as heated and cooled. Tri‑zone climate control is fitted so each row of seated passengers can manage their own temperatures.
The Ti7 is also specified with an in‑car refrigerator and a drinks warmer positioned between the driver and front passenger. The forward cabin has two principal displays: a 10.25‑inch screen in front of the driver and a 15.8‑inch touchscreen in the centre of the dashboard. An 18‑speaker sound system is listed as standard equipment.
Boot capacity figures published by BYD for the Ti7 are 126 litres with all three rows of seats in place, 970 litres with the third row folded and 1,830 litres with both the second and third rows folded.
