In terms of appearance design, the 2024 BYD Evacuation 05 Honor Edition still adopts a family-style design. The front grille is large, with headlights on both sides connected to the top of the grille, looking very recognizable. At the same time, the vertical air intakes on both sides of the front bumper also make the front face look very dynamic. Moving to the side of the car, the new car has a relatively simple design, with a curved waistline extending from the headlights to the sides of the trunk lid, looking particularly elegant.
The new car comes with two wheel sizes. The version with a NEDC pure electric range of 55km has 16-inch wheels, while other models have 17-inch 10-spoke two-tone wheels. The 16-inch wheels come with 225/60 R16 tires, while the 17-inch wheels come with 215/55 R17 tires.
The new car offers four body colors to choose from: Ink Blue, Time Grey, Snow White, and Magic Black. The editor personally prefers Time Grey for its understated luxury. The texture of the other colors is also good, so choose according to your preference.
In terms of interior, the new car features a simple design style. The dashboard and central control screen adopt a floating design, giving a strong sense of technology. The three-spoke multifunction steering wheel has excellent texture and a stylish look. Additionally, the new car retains some physical knobs and buttons in the central control area, improving the convenience of using some common functions.
In terms of power system, the 2024 BYD Destroyer 05 Honor Edition is equipped with a plug-in hybrid power system. The 1.5L naturally aspirated engine has a maximum power of 81kW.
