The new model will be offered in 215 hp and 416 hp guises. BYD has ditched the many aero appendages of the concept car. The new model will be the latest addition to BYD's growing Ocean series. This is our first look at the production version of the BYD Ocean-M electric hot hatch that excited fans at the Beijing Auto Show. Images and details from China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology reveal the road-going model will form part of BYD’s Ocean series.
However, the dramatic aerodynamic splitter of the Ocean-M has been deleted and there are now newly-shaped air intakes. The large air intakes found on the concept's hood are also nowhere to be seen. The changes continue down the sides of the hatch, where the large aero fins on the skirts didn't make it to production. Spin around to the rear, and you’ll notice the obvious lack of a fixed rear wing like the Ocean-M.
