The first plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) under the "Ocean Series", the Destroyer 05 is equipped with the DM-i hybrid technology and heavily based on the older BYD Qin Plus and Qin Pro compact sedans, sharing exactly the same wheelbase dimensions and height while featuring completely restyled front and rear end designs.[3]
The vehicle is marketed in Uzbekistan as the BYD Chazor,[4] in Latin America markets as the BYD King,[5] and in the Southeast Asian markets as the BYD Seal 5 DM-i.[6]

Perspective
The BYD Destroyer 05 is powered by BYD's DM-i hybrid EHS system in two variants with two battery sizes. Both versions are fitted with a 1.5-litre petrol engine producing 81 kW (109 hp; 110 PS) and come with either one or two electric motors based on trim levels for a combined output of 132 kW (177 hp; 179 PS) or 145 kW (194 hp; 197 PS) respectively. The smallest battery is offering a pure electric range of 55 kilometres (34 mi) while the larger one allows it to travel up to 120 kilometres (75 mi) on electric battery power alone.[9] It has a claimed fuel consumption of 3.8 litres per 100 kilometres (74 mpg‑imp; 62 mpg‑US) and a combined range of over 1,200 kilometres (750 mi) on a full tank of fuel and full battery charge.[8]
The 120 km (75 mi) pure electric range version of the Destroyer 05 supports 25 kW fast charging and charging from 30 percent to 80 percent takes 25 minutes.[10]
