【New Lightweight EV】Starting from an effective price of 1 million yen! The reasons you'll want the well-equipped BYD new model "RACCO"
BYD's new lightweight EV "BYD RACCO" packed with the world's leading latest EV technology into the most beloved "super tall" lightweight car in the Japanese market. Developed to accompany everyday life in Japan under the vision of "reducing the Earth's temperature by 1°C," this vehicle brings about a minimalistic EV revolution.
Spacious indoor space! Convenient electric sliding doors on both sides
The interior of the "RACCO" ensures top-class levels in length, width, and height, achieving a flat floor without steps. There is enough space for a child to change clothes while standing.
What surprised me is that all grades come standard with electric sliding doors on both sides. In the top-grade "300Premium," when you approach with the key, a light guide is projected at your feet, and it is equipped with a hands-free feature that opens and closes automatically with just a wave of your foot.

Two selectable batteries for different uses! Reliable charging performance even in winter
The "RACCO" features three grades: the "200" model with a range of 210 km, ideal for daily shopping and transportation, and the "300Plus" and "300Premium" models with a range of 320 km, suitable for weekend leisure activities.
It adopts a highly safe proprietary "Blade Battery" and is equipped with a "preheating function" that warms the battery before charging. Even in winter, when charging performance tends to decline, it can be used with peace of mind.

It offers storage solutions closely aligned with Japanese lifestyles and the latest smart features
The warm interior, themed around "humanistic warmth," is packed with practical storage like space for standing an umbrella and smartphone slots, tailored to Japanese lifestyles.
Additionally, it supports NFC key functionality that allows your smartphone to be used as a car key, as well as "V2H / V2L" functionality that can power home appliances during outdoor activities or emergencies. This vehicle supports various scenarios from daily life to emergency situations.

Top-class safety equipment and astonishing cost performance.
The "RACCO" adopts a rare 4-wheel disc brake for a light vehicle. It demonstrates remarkable braking power, ensuring it can stop securely even on rainy days or slopes. With a high-strength body and six airbags, the design considers safety beyond just the driver's seat, making it ideal for families.
Additionally, it implements thorough safety measures such as "Child Presence Detection (CPD)" that prompts checks of the rear seats when getting out, and pinch protection features for all windows. Despite incorporating many safety features, it achieves an overwhelming price point starting from 2,145,000 yen by producing many key components in-house.

The next-generation light vehicle "RACCO," packaged as "Super Tall x EV," is optimized for the Japanese market, balancing environmental considerations with everyday usability. It is an excellent choice for families looking to save on gas while enjoying a quiet and smooth ride.
