BYD demonstrates new suspension system on second-generation Seal 07

BYD has launched the second-generation Seal 07 in China in battery-electric and plug-in hybrid versions.

The sedan is slightly longer than a Toyota Camry, and prices start at 139,900 yuan for the plug-in hybrid and 149,900 yuan for the electric model.

The flagship electric version is the first to use Disus-M, BYD’s new intelligent body control system.

It combines adjustable suspension with LiDAR road-surface sensors and a system that adapts torque to help control the car.

The suspension adjusts damping from 100 to 10,000 Nm, with BYD saying it can respond in milliseconds.

The feature is limited to the top-spec electric version, which starts at 172,900 yuan; lower-priced models use a different body control system.
