PHYSIX OBSERVATION

The DiSus-M magnetorheological suspension was previously seen mostly on higher-priced models; now that it has been pushed down to a 170,000-yuan-class battery-electric flagship, it shows BYD is making chassis intelligence its next competitive battleground. That is good for users, but note this: the entry-level version gets DiSus-C, and experiencing the magnetorheological setup requires paying more for the top trim, so don't be misled by a single line saying "equipped with DiSus-M" in the marketing.
