The BYD Yuan UP is a compact electric SUV built around a 42.3 kWh battery, with a CLTC-rated range of 401 km when new. It sits in BYD's value-focused SUV segment, making it one of the most frequently requested used EV models among buyers who want SUV practicality without the price tag of a larger battery pack.

The Unit Currently Available

This used Yuan UP is a 2023 model with 17,800 km on the odometer, 96% battery state of health, and a single owner from new. The condition report is clean, and battery health has been confirmed through a diagnostic scan rather than estimated from mileage alone.

  • Model year: 2023
  • Odometer: 17,800 km
  • Battery health: 96% SoH
  • Ownership history: 1 owner
  • Condition notes: clean first-owner condition, battery health confirmed via diagnostic scan

What 96% SoH at 17,800 km Tells a Buyer

A 96% SoH reading after roughly 18,000 km of use is a normal, healthy degradation curve for a lithium iron phosphate pack of this size — it suggests the vehicle has not been fast-charged excessively or left at extreme states of charge for long periods. At that SoH level, real-world usable range from the original 401 km CLTC rating would be expected to sit close to the original figure, though actual range always depends on climate, driving style, and terrain in the destination market.

Why Buyers Choose the Yuan UP

Export buyers looking at compact electric SUVs are typically comparing three things: purchase price relative to newer alternatives, battery health, and ownership history. A single-owner Yuan UP with a clean report and confirmed battery health checks all three boxes, which is why this segment moves quickly once a well-documented unit is listed. The compact SUV body style also gives buyers more cargo and ground clearance flexibility than a hatchback, without the higher landed cost of a larger-battery model.

Estimating Landed Cost

Total landed cost is calculated as: FOB price + $1,450 fixed freight + insurance (1.1% of FOB) + import duty (destination rate x CIF) + VAT (destination rate x (CIF + duty)) + $650 fixed clearance. Because the Yuan UP sits in the value tier of BYD's EV lineup, its FOB price is typically lower than flagship models, which keeps the duty and VAT components proportionally lower as well.

Due Diligence Checklist Before You Buy

  • Request the diagnostic scan report confirming the 96% SoH figure
  • Ask for the full service history tied to the single owner
  • Request current exterior, interior, and charging port photos
  • Confirm title and export documentation before payment
  • Ask which cables, chargers, and accessories are included in the sale

For buyers weighing a used Yuan UP against a new compact EV import, the combination of low ownership count, confirmed battery health, and lower FOB price is usually the deciding factor — the savings on purchase price generally outweigh the small amount of range lost to battery age at this SoH level.
