It is the second vehicle of BYD's 'Warship' series, which comprises PHEVs from the 'Ocean' series.

Charging the Frigate 07 can be done either through a normal household AC plug at 3.3 kW and the all wheel drive version supports a faster 6.6 kW AC charging. All versions of the Frigate 07 support DC fast charging at either 40 kW or 75 kW respectively. The Vehicle-to-Load is supported by all versions of the Frigate 07 and offers up to 6.6 kW.

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.
