With a 70 kWh battery, the BYD Wanaka RV has achieved the ultimate, becoming a high-end brand among light truck RVs.

New energy RVs are redefining travel and living as "mobile living cabins." Wanaka RV's 6.5-ton T5DM-70 kWh Pro version, built on the BYD T5DM chassis, boasts a massive 70 kWh battery, robust craftsmanship, and intelligent features, making it an all-rounder for long-distance travel. Measuring 5995×2450×3390mm, it can be driven with a green license plate and a C1/C2 driver's license. The policy advantage of toll-free highways during holidays further reduces travel costs.

The body features a pure white base with green accents, creating a simple yet vibrant look. The front is made of fiberglass, and the innovative drip edge design effectively prevents rain and dirt residue from accumulating on the windshield during long periods of parking, balancing practicality and aesthetics. The cabin is constructed of fiberglass panels with an explosion-proof armor paint coating, significantly improving its impact and scratch resistance. The subframe utilizes 700L high-strength automotive beam steel (with a yield strength three times that of conventional Q235 steel), combined with shot blasting and electrostatic powder coating for rust prevention, ensuring structural stability even under complex road conditions. Vacuum-sealed sandwich-structure wall panels (45mm thick) and floor (63mm six-layer composite structure), filled with XPS insulation material, achieve highly efficient heat and sound insulation, improving winter insulation performance by 30%.

A 4-meter awning is fitted to the right side of the vehicle, which, when unfolded, creates an outdoor camping area, complete with LED lighting strips to meet nighttime activity needs. The rear through-type storage compartment offers considerable capacity, accommodating 10 suitcases, and includes a pre-installed electrical access panel for easy maintenance. Explosion-proof armored side skirts and an aluminum alloy frame further enhance the vehicle's protective capabilities, making it more capable of handling gravel roads or unpaved surfaces.

The powertrain features BYD's 1.5T hybrid-specific engine with a thermal efficiency of 41%, primarily used for power generation rather than direct drive. Combined with a 70kW/150kW highly integrated motor, it accelerates from 0-50km/h in just 5.5 seconds. The chassis is equipped with a 55.39kWh blade battery (6-year/300,000km warranty), while the superstructure adds an additional 14.3kWh lithium iron phosphate battery (5-year warranty). The dual battery packs support bidirectional charging, with the chassis providing 2500-4000W charging power to the superstructure and 1500-3300W power feedback from the superstructure to the chassis. A 20-minute fast charge can charge the battery from 20% to 90%. A 100L fuel tank and a 2380W solar panel (generating approximately 8kWh of electricity per day) form a "iron triangle" energy system, providing a pure electric range of 150km and a combined range of 800km with a full tank and full charge, completely eliminating range anxiety.

The interior features a white and wood-grain color scheme, creating a warm and elegant living atmosphere. With an interior height exceeding 2.1 meters, and a side extension mechanism (Pro Max version), the living area can comfortably seat up to six people. The overhead bed measures 2230×1330mm, with side windows ensuring ventilation and natural light, and an inner storage compartment for personal belongings. The rear transverse bed measures 2220×1300mm, featuring L-shaped overhead cabinets and a floating wardrobe, providing ample storage space. A hidden 5kg drum washing machine is located under the bed, freeing up your hands.

The living area features a double-seat booth design with blue and white color-blocked seats, paired with a height-adjustable table (which lowers to form a 1900×900mm children's bed). A small bar is integrated into the tableside, equipped with cup holders, sockets, and USB ports to meet work or entertainment needs. A Xiaomi 1.5P new first-level energy-efficient inverter air conditioner enables rapid temperature adjustment, and the four-way monitoring and intelligent central control panel supports voice/touch operation, exuding a high-tech feel.

The kitchen area features a custom-made slab under-mount sink countertop, and the side folding extension panel increases the work area by 40% when unfolded. The built-in 230L double-door inverter air-cooled refrigerator, 20L Xiaomi tablet microwave oven, high-power range hood (18m³/min airflow), and check valve form a "cooking trio" to effectively prevent oil fume residue. The stainless steel sink, paired with a vertical faucet, makes washing, chopping, and preparing vegetables more efficient. Wall and base cabinets provide ample storage space, keeping condiments and tableware within easy reach. The

entire sleeping area features a custom-made 4D air fiber mattress, offering superior breathability compared to traditional sponge and resisting deformation over long-term use. Both the overhead bed and the rear transverse bed are equipped with reading lights and privacy curtains, creating independent sleeping spaces. The L-shaped wall cabinets on the inside of the rear transverse bed are 450mm deep, allowing for hanging clothes or storing luggage, while the floating wardrobe at the foot of the bed features built-in tiered shelves for clearer organization.

The bathroom features a stainless steel-edged threshold with a sloping design to effectively prevent overflow. Custom-made non-slip plastic wood flooring and double drains (increasing drainage speed by 50%) ensure dryness. The Thetford portable pull-out toilet (with a 17L black water tank), integrated shower head, LED vanity mirror with heating and defogging function, waterproof shower curtain, and towel rack constitute a "full-function bathroom system." Outward-opening windows and an exhaust fan (120m³/h air exchange rate) ensure air circulation, while a bathroom heater provides warmth in winter.

The water and electricity system is the core advantage of this RV: a 400L fresh water tank and a 170L grey water tank allow for 3-5 days without refilling, and a central water distributor can independently shut off water pipes in each area to avoid leakage risks. Imported food-grade PE hot and cold water pipes are highly corrosion-resistant, and a 40L electric water heater provides rapid heating in 10 minutes. In terms of electrical circuits, a 24V DC dual power supply system and a 220V AC dual inverter circuit (total power 11kW) support the simultaneous operation of high-power appliances such as air conditioners and induction cookers, while the daily power generation of the solar panels can meet the basic electricity needs of refrigerators, lighting, etc.

The Wanaka BYD T5DM-70 kWh Electric Pro version addresses the range and refueling pain points of new energy RVs with its robust configuration of "70 kWh of electricity + 400L of water". From its high-strength body structure to intelligent driving assistance, from its flexible living area to its professional-grade kitchen and bathroom system, every design element revolves around "comfort during long-distance travel". Priced at 469,800 yuan (439,800 yuan for the Pro version), it is highly competitive among similar products, making it a worthwhile investment for users who value freedom of travel and quality of life – a true "mobile home".
