BYD Haiou

BYDhaio distills the art of urban mobility into a compact silhouette. A 3.78 m body sculpted around a 2.5 m wheelbase conceals a cobalt-free Blade Battery, creating a low, centered mass that feels carved from a single billet. Every surface—from the 0.28 Cd wind-cut roofline to the flush door handles—serves aerodynamic calm, while short overhangs and a 4.95 m turning radius invite effortless pivots through narrow stone alleys and glass-tower forecourts alike.
Inside, the cabin redefines perception of space. C-segment legroom unfolds beneath a panoramic field of vegan leather and recycled soft-touch plastics, their grain chosen by fingertip approval under LED ambient light. The driver’s seat glides on six powered axes to meet a perfectly vertical steering column, placing vision, touch and horizon in natural alignment. Dual-zone climate with PM2.5 filtration maintains alpine freshness; acoustic glass and low-profile tires erase the city to a distant murmur.
Performance is immediate yet mannered. A 55 kW permanent-magnet motor channels 135 N·m through a single-speed epicyclic set, launching BYDhaio from standstill to 50 km/h in 4.9 heartbeats while drawing energy with disciplined restraint. The Blade Battery’s cell-to-body architecture doubles chassis torsion, translating every steering input into go-kart accuracy, then absorbs cobblestones and expansion joints with compliant, silent damping.
Intelligence surrounds without intrusion. A 10.1-inch adaptive touchscreen rotates at the brush of a finger, synchronizing with a 7-inch digital cluster to present navigation, media and vehicle health in minimalist glyphs. Over-the-air refinements evolve the experience overnight; Bluetooth keyless entry and wireless charging remove physical friction. From first light to last mile, BYDhaio choreographs power, space and serenity into one continuous, effortless glide.
