First previewed by the BYD X Dream concept car at the Shanghai Auto Show on April 20, 2021, the production version of the Frigate 07 was unveiled at the Chengdu Auto Show in August 2022, with the market launch held in December 2022.

Powertrain
The BYD Frigate 07 is powered by BYD's DM-i and DM-p hybrid EHS system (Electric Hybrid System) in two variants with two battery sizes respectively. Both DM-i and DM-p versions are fitted with a 102-kilowatt (137 hp; 139 PS) and 231-newton-metre (24 kg⋅m; 170 lb⋅ft) 1.5-litre turbo-charged Xiaoyun Miller cycle petrol engine producing 81 kW (109 hp; 110 PS) and a 60-litre (13 imp gal; 16 US gal) fuel tank giving the car a combined range of over 1,200 kilometres (746 mi) and a fuel economy of 5.5 litres per 100 kilometres (18.2 km/L; 51.4 mpg‑imp; 42.8 mpg‑US). The all wheel drive dual motor DM-p version focuses on performance and has a 36.8-kilowatt-hour (132 MJ) Blade lithium iron phosphate battery capable of an electric-only range of 170 kilometres (106 mi) (WLTC), powering two electric motors resulting in a combined output of 295 kW (396 hp; 401 PS) with 656 N⋅m (67 kg⋅m; 484 lb⋅ft) of torque, while the front wheel drive DM-i version focuses on fuel economy and is equipped with a 18.3-kilowatt-hour (66 MJ) Blade lithium iron phosphate battery which is good enough for 82 kilometres (51 mi) (WLTC) of pure electric driving range powering a single electric motor with an output of 145 kW (194 hp; 197 PS) and 316 N⋅m (32 kg⋅m; 233 lb⋅ft) of torque. The all wheel drive DM-p version has a 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) acceleration time of 4.7 seconds, while the front wheel drive DM-i model accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 8.5 seconds.
