The standout feature of the Yuan UP lies in its distinctive exterior design. Adhering to the iconic Yuan series family emblem placement, the model integrates the small seal script "元" logo into a black front grille panel. Compared to other models in the Yuan series, the Yuan UP boasts elongated and sharp headlights, emphasizing a heightened sense of layers.

Moving to the rear, the BYD Yuan UP adopts a through-type taillight assembly, and the top of the rear is equipped with a segmented spoiler, coupled with a large-sized diffuser, highlighting a strong sense of sportiness. The vehicle features concealed door handles on the side, with black panels and chrome details along the bottom edge, adding an off-road touch. Unlike existing Dynasty series models, the new SUV sports a BYD logo at the rear instead of the small seal script style emblem seen at the front.

In terms of dimensions, the Yuan UP measures 4,310mm long, 1,830mm wide, 1,675mm tall, with a wheelbase of 2,620mm, making it smaller than the Yuan PLUS. However, compared to the Yuan Pro, although the length is shorter, the wheelbase has increased by 85mm, and the width has expanded by 45mm.

Regarding power, as per previous data submitted to China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the BYD Yuan UP will feature an all-electric drive system with optional motor power reaching 70kW and 130kW, respectively. The battery, still utilizing BYD's lithium iron phosphate materials, is expected to provide a range exceeding 400 kilometers.
