The Chinese Automaker BYD, Famous for Its Innovations in the Electric Car Sector, Presented a Significant Update to Its Entry-Level SUV, the Yuan Pro.

The model, which is a “carbon copy” of Ford EcoSport, brings updates both in design and mechanics, abandoning combustion options to offer only electric powertrain.

The crossover was originally launched in 2015 as “BYD S” in China. It received a facelift in 2017 and changed its name to “S2”. The most recent update in 2021 transformed the car into a fully electric vehicle, adopting the name Yuan Pro.

Technology and Safety

In terms of safety, the Yuan Pro offers six airbags, collision warning, autonomous emergency braking, and traction control. Unfortunately, features like adaptive cruise control (ACC) and lane keep assist are not available.

The starting price in China is 39,000 yuan, around R$ 27,000 in direct conversion, excluding taxes. A potential arrival in Brazil with prices around R$ 100,000 could shake up the competition, especially considering the high prices of SUVs currently available in the domestic market.

The BYD Yuan Pro could be a milestone in the history of electric SUVs in Brazil. With its competitive price, generous equipment list, and considerable range, this “clone” of the EcoSport is set to make a splash in Brazilian lands.

Technology and Safety

Mother and daughter build a 70 m² house with more than 8,000 discarded glass bottles and impress with their creativity; known as the Casa de Sal, the property is located on Itamaracá Island, in Pernambuco.

The river that “dies” in the desert never reaches the sea and yet gives life to one of Africa’s largest natural refuges in a truly impressive way.

He transformed an abandoned plastic water tank into an underground house in the “hobbit hole” style, using only repurposed pallet wood, without heavy machinery or expensive labor.

Libya built over 4,000 kilometers of underground pipelines to bring water from the Sahara to coastal cities in a project that the government itself called the Eighth Wonder of the World.

China transforms desert-devastated area into the world’s largest artificial forest, planting trees for 60 years, blocking sand that reached Beijing, and creating a “green lung” of 92,000 hectares in a region once considered lost.

Toyota launches “family hybrid van” with 7 or 8 seats, 1.8 hybrid engine, fuel consumption of up to 23.8 km/l, and a price equivalent to about R$ 104,000 without taxes, below the Tiggo 8 Pro Plug-in Hybrid sold in Brazil: meet the Noah Hybrid 2026 in Japan.

Desert sand, previously discarded for being too smooth for concrete, becomes an ecological brick in the United Arab Emirates, dispensing with Portland cement, curing at room temperature, and attempting to transform dunes useless for construction into raw material for a new arid engineering.

Google employee lived in a 12 m² truck in the company parking lot, used the campus facilities, and exposed the burden of rent in Silicon Valley.

To escape one of the most dangerous seas in Europe, Norway is advancing with a giant tunnel that will allow ships to pass through a mountain, avoiding storms, unpredictable waves, and a route that has frightened sailors for generations.

INSS issues alert to retirees: decisive deadline ends this week and millions of beneficiaries may lose access to amounts that already total R$ 3.2 billion; measure involves deductions made between 2020 and 2025

Forget the dollar: Brazil, China, Russia, and India accelerate testing of the BRICS system to challenge SWIFT, reduce US influence, and expand transactions in national currencies, which already account for 67% of the bloc’s trade.

Forget the slow sweeper: China creates a vacuum truck that cleans highways at up to 80 km/h, sucking up stones, dust, and metals from the asphalt and promises to reduce blockages without stopping traffic.

Three doors, concept look, and FIPE value of R$ 62,524: The 2013 Hyundai Veloster delivers a 1.6 engine with 140 hp, a 6-speed automatic transmission, and a design that still seems too strange to go unnoticed.
