Named SF, the model shown in the photos is being tested on roads. The sticker on the car window shows that it is still the testing vehicle previously numbered “2316”. The automaker disclosed that the first three numbers signify that the SF would carry two electric motors and three locks (front and rear differential locks + electric center lock), and will ride on an all-new platform dedicated to new energy off-roaders. The “6” means the F brand will be launched in June this year.

Despite the thick camouflage, we can see that the raised lines on the vehicle’s front hood are still visible, while the split-style bumper design highlights its strong off-road attributes. Although the specific parameters are unclear, it still can be known that the SF has a large approach and departure angle.

The SF will carry BYD's “Yunnian” technology system, which will be launched on Apr. 10. Targeting a price range of 400,000-600,000 yuan, the model is expected for presale in the second half of this year.
