Overview
Boot space is 470 litres with all seats up, which matters in the 2026 BYD M9 Dynamic, an 8-seat plug-in hybrid people mover. It's $61,990 RRP, which is the recommended retail price before on-road costs. Claimed electric-only range is 80km, and fuel use is 2.7L/100km on the official combined test starting with a charged battery, or 7.1L/100km once the battery's flat and it's running as a hybrid. Keep in mind there's no ANCAP rating on record for this variant. It suits a big family who can plug in at home and do most short trips on battery.

Battery and Charging
AC is home or destination charging. DC is public fast charging. Typical 10 to 80% is the useful fast-charge window. Battery preheating and a heat pump both protect fast-charging speed and range in the cold. 🏆 marks the strongest car per row.

Towing and load
The 4WD and load hardware this variant lists, the rig calculator, the load plans and the cost to towCost to tow
The real fuel/energy cost once you hitch up. Pick a trailer and trip.
⚠ PHEV: the rated tow capacity is legal, but once the battery is depleted it tows on the petrol engine alone — expect noticeably lower speed on highway climbs and much higher fuel use (real-world tests hit ~30 L/100km near capacity on a flat battery). Keep some charge in reserve for hills.
Estimate only: consumption rises as range falls; real use varies with terrain, wind and load.
