- “World record” range. 1,100 km is BYD’s own claim of a record for a mass-produced electric car, on the CLTC cycle. It is not independently tested.
- Which battery and WLTP figure belong to which version. The two sources list the variants in different orders, so we do not pair the WLTP figures or pack sizes with a trim.
