New BYD concept previews rear-driven Ocean-M hatchback, which is tipped to get a racey range-topper

BYD has revealed an outlandish hot hatch concept at the Beijing motor show, which previews a compact electric family car it will launch later this year. It's called the Ocean-M, and while the production version will no doubt be available without the touring car-style body kit, low-profile tyres and big brake discs, the concept gives a good idea of what to expect. Beneath the aero addenda lies a circa- 4.

Despite talking up its "performance genes" and referring to the hatchback as a "pure-electric steel cannon", BYD has given no indication of the Ocean-M's power output. The most powerful rear-driven EV the brand currently sells is the 308bhp single-motor version of the Seal saloon. If that motor is carried over into the Ocean, it would line it up neatly to contend with the new Volkswagen ID 3 GTX and Cupra Born vZ.
