Chinese automakers BYD and Xiaomi have unveiled significant updates across multiple models, with BYD focusing on range and driver assistance while Xiaomi introduces an innovative cabin configuration.

BYD released images of the 2027 Seal 06 on July 27, 2026. The refreshed sedan gains a lidar sensor mounted on the hood, a first for the model line. Its body has been stretched by 155 mm compared to the current generation. Power output for single-motor variants rises to 120 kW and 240 kW, up from 110 kW and 160 kW respectively.

The company also revealed the Da Han, its flagship in the Dynasty series. The all-electric entry-level version achieves a CLTC range of 1,008 km using a 102.326 kWh LFP battery that supports flash charging. The top all-wheel-drive trim, with a combined 570 kW (764 hp), delivers 880 km of range. At 5,256 mm long, 1,999 mm wide and 1,510 mm tall with a 3,130 mm wheelbase, the Da Han is 66 mm longer than a standard Mercedes-Benz S-Class. Standard equipment includes rear-wheel steering, DiPilot 5.0 assisted driving with roof-mounted lidar and cameras in the front fenders, semi-hidden door handles, 21-inch multi-spoke rims, and a continuous taillight. A plug-in hybrid (DM-i) version is also offered, pairing a 54.5 kWh LFP battery with an all-electric range of 470 km.

Separately, Xiaomi has adopted a 2+2+3 seat layout for its SkyNomad N90 model. The configuration, previously seen in BYD's Great Tang, provides an aisle to the third row. The SkyNomad N90's front seats can rotate 180 degrees, while second-row seats are zero-gravity comfort seats. A ceiling-mounted screen that slides forward and backward, an optional PAD expansion for the third row, and a projection kit are available. The vehicle also includes lidar for driver assistance.
