The maximum speed of the BYD Yuan is 101km/h. The following is an introduction about BYD: 1. Introduction to BYD: BYD is a Chinese automotive brand founded in 1995, primarily producing commercial vehicles, passenger cars, and batteries. 2. Brand introduction of BYD: BYD automobiles adhere to a development path of independent research, independent production, and independent brands, committed to creating truly affordable and high-quality vehicles for the people. The product designs incorporate advanced international trends while aligning with the aesthetic concepts of Chinese culture. 3. Development philosophy of BYD: BYD consistently upholds the development philosophy of 'Technology is king, innovation is the foundation.' With strong R&D capabilities and an innovative development model, BYD has achieved comprehensive growth and plays a pivotal role in various fields such as batteries, electronics, passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, and rail transit.

I've been driving the BYD Yuan Pro for over a year now, using it daily to drop off and pick up my kids from school and for my commute to work, so I'm quite familiar with its performance. The official top speed is 160 km/h, and I've tested it a few times on the highway, reaching around 150 km/h. It felt very stable with responsive handling, but in reality, I rarely drive that fast because safety comes first, and the speed limit on highways is usually 120 km/h. The electric acceleration is particularly smooth between 60 to 100 km/h, making it easy to overtake. More importantly, there's the issue of range—driving at high speeds consumes battery too quickly, significantly reducing the distance you can cover on a single charge. So, I try to keep my speed between 80 to 100 km/h, which makes the battery last longer and is more economical. Overall, the 160 km/h setting is more than enough for daily use; there's no need to push it to the limit.

From an automotive enthusiast's perspective, the BYD Yuan Pro's performance is quite appealing, with a top speed rated at 160 km/h, thanks to its high-efficiency permanent magnet synchronous motor design. The motor delivers strong torque output, enabling quick starts and noticeable acceleration push in the mid-range. I test-drove a friend's car on a straight stretch and easily hit 155 km/h without much body float. Compared to gasoline cars, EVs don't have complex transmissions, making speed control more direct but limited by battery output. The 160 km/h limit is sufficient for regular roads, as higher speeds increase wind resistance and heat generation, putting more strain on the battery. For optimal experience, maintaining 100-120 km/h is recommended. The actual performance is impressive, with precise handling and clear road feedback.

As a new driver who recently bought a car, I chose the BYD Yuan for its simplicity and ease of driving. It's said to have a top speed of 160 km/h, but I've never dared to try such high speeds. Normally, I drive at 30 to 60 km/h in the city. My instructor reminded me that the speed limit on highways is 120 km/h, and controlling speed is safer to avoid sudden braking risks. The advantage of an electric car is its smooth start, without any sudden jerks, which suits a driver like me who is still in the adaptation period. Although the top speed sounds impressive, I think its practical value is limited. The focus is on arriving safely at my destination every day and developing good driving habits, which is most important.
