Spy shots reveal BYD's first MPV for the Ocean Network, caught charging at a BYD ultra-fast charger. The front light signature clearly shows Ocean Network design language, though the overall profile differs significantly from the Ocean-V concept shown at the 2026 Beijing Auto Show, leaning toward a more traditional MPV style. Equipment includes a large grille, conventional door handles and a roof-mounted LiDAR. The Ocean-V concept was a five-seat MPV featuring a sliding center screen, 180-degree rotating seats, auto-retracting steering wheel, front-row screen extension, hidden tables and one-key bed mode – whether these carry over to the production model remains to be seen. Expected launch by year-end.
