Is the BYD Yuan Pro a converted electric vehicle from a gasoline model?

[VonJeremiah]

Not entirely. On April 11, 2016, BYD's smallest SUV model, the Yuan, was launched in Beijing. Here is the relevant introduction: Introduction: The Yuan is BYD's latest small SUV product, which looks quite refined overall. The small spare tire carrier at the rear gives the car a more distinctive appearance. The new car also adopts a two-tone color scheme, making it look very vibrant. The Yuan is BYD's first small SUV to hit the market. Powertrain: The hybrid version of the Yuan, equipped with an oil-electric hybrid powertrain and the Super Electric 4WD system, is BYD's first small hybrid 4WD vehicle to feature a redesigned logo. Starting from 2010, the popularity of SUV models in the Chinese automotive market allowed manufacturers to reap substantial profits, but the limited variety of models left consumers with few choices. Both joint venture automakers and independent brands continuously launched SUVs of different segments between 2010 and 2012, but small SUVs were not favored by the market at that time.
