The vehicle was unveiled on November 5, 2026, bringing together advanced technology, off-road capabilities and a range of features designed to enhance comfort, safety and convenience for drivers and passengers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking at the launch, CFAO Mobility Rwanda Sales Officer Augustin Nkotanyi said the BYD Ti7 DM-P can cover up to 80 kilometres on electric power alone, while its combined electric and petrol systems give it a driving range of up to 710 kilometres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He explained that the combination makes the vehicle suitable for both everyday journeys and longer trips, allowing drivers to choose between electric power and petrol depending on their needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond its driving range, the BYD Ti7 DM-P is designed to handle a variety of road conditions, including dirt roads, steep slopes and uneven terrain. According to Nkotanyi, this capability is supported by a system that distributes power to all four wheels depending on the conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe vehicle features Intelligent Electric Four-Wheel Drive technology, which distributes power to all four wheels according to the terrain. This enables it to navigate dirt roads, steep slopes and other uneven surfaces,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The vehicle also offers flexible charging options, giving owners the convenience of charging it at home rather than relying entirely on public charging stations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It comes with a 7 kW home charging unit, known as a Wall-box Charger, as well as a portable 3.3 kW Mobile Charger. These allow owners to charge the vehicle in different settings, depending on their location and access to electricity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nkotanyi said CFAO Mobility Rwanda has also put in place after-sales support services to ensure customers can access maintenance and repairs when needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have a garage, spare parts and technicians trained by the manufacturer, meaning that our team at CFAO Mobility Rwanda can address any problem that may arise with the vehicle,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inside, the BYD Ti7 DM-P comes with a range of technology and comfort features designed to improve the experience for everyone on board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These include a panoramic sunroof that allows natural light into the cabin, Four-Zone Intelligent Voice Control, and smartphone connectivity through Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The vehicle also features electrically adjustable front seats with massage functions, as well as a dedicated compartment that can cool or warm food and drinks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking at the launch, Pauline Bakashaza, chief Financial Officer of CFAO Mobility Rwanda, said the company’s partnership with BYD reflects a shared commitment to advancing modern technology and promoting sustainable development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe chose to partner with BYD because it is a leading company in new energy technologies, with significant investment in research and technological development, as well as a vision of building a more sustainable future,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bakashaza added that the BYD Ti7 DM-P was developed with customers’ needs in mind, bringing together comfort, modern technology and the ability to adapt to different road conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe vehicle combines contemporary design, advanced technology, spacious interiors that provide comfort, and the ability to adapt to different road conditions through plug-in hybrid technology, which combines electric power and petrol,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CFAO Mobility Rwanda said it is the only officially authorised distributor of BYD vehicles in Rwanda, with the authority to sell them and provide manufacturer-backed warranties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Customers purchasing the BYD Ti7 DM-P are offered an eight-year battery warranty or coverage of up to 200,000 kilometres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The vehicle itself comes with a six-year warranty or coverage of up to 150,000 kilometres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
