]]> Chinese automaker BYD is shaking up the electric vehicle market by rolling out a new 240 kW (322 hp) motor across its mainstream models. The TZ200XYAT motor will be used for rear-wheel-drive vehicles with an 800V architecture, adding more power while reducing weight.

Key Takeaways

  • The Seal 06 GT and Qin Max EV receive the new TZ200XYAT motor.
  • New models are lighter by up to 419 lbs compared to their predecessors.
  • Motors in entry-level versions have seen smaller power gains, but still offer better performance.

The Seal 06 GT now features a top model with the new motor, boosting its output from 165 kW to 240 kW. The base version also gets an upgrade to a 200 kW motor and loses weight, dropping from 1940 kg to 1750 kg.

The Qin Max EV is another model getting the new TZ200XYAT motor in its top-end variant. It’s longer than its predecessor but weighs less at 1795 kg compared to 2080 kg, making it more efficient and powerful despite being bigger.

BYD also introduced a sister sedan of the Qin Max EV called the Seal 06 Max EV. This model is slightly larger yet lighter than previous versions with increased power in its rear-wheel-drive setup.

The new motor isn’t just about performance; it’s about efficiency too. The weight reduction across these models means better range and handling for drivers who rely on their vehicles daily.
