BYD F3 car review: reviews, specifications, main aspects of design and interior

Let us immediately say that we do not play stereotypes. BYD F3 is a Chinese car. Therefore, if you expect stamped phrases and standard definitions, then you definitely are not here. We will proceed from a simple rule - all cars have objective and subjective assessments, which means that each of them has its own target audience. Just different audiences choose different machines based on their personal interests or financial possibilities. BYD F3, reviews of which are identified with budget cars of Japanese and Western European manufacturers, found a large crowd of fans in Russia and Ukraine, which indicates the practicality and reliability of this "Chinese". Now the BYD lineup is already quite wide, and its popularity continues to grow. In addition to our hero, the models F0, F3R, G3, G6, M6 and others are released on the market. But back to the topic of the article.

Let's get started. BYD F3, reviews about which are good enough for this type of cars, was the first Chinese car that was authorized for crash tests by the EuroNCAP method. In Russia, at the Dmitrievsky test site, BYD F3 received 10 points out of 16 for safety, which is a very good result, based on the price index. On the other hand, the audience of this car is unlikely to consider crash safety as the main argument for the purchase. Nevertheless, already in the basic configuration, we are expecting the ABS system with electronic brake force distribution, protective beams in all doors, and also two airbags. Traditionally, for such a segment of cars the manufacturer has tried to make the basic equipment as saturated as possible. Here you and CD-MP3, and leather seats, air conditioning, power windows, fog lamps, light-alloy wheels and other options that the budget class as a standard, as a rule, does not offer. Among fans of BYD F3 reviews about such a filling of a budget car are pretty flattering, but there is something to praise, is not it?

In our market, BYD F3 is represented by two gasoline engines. The first is a 1.6-liter engine with 99 horsepower, which is aggregated into a 4-speed automatic transmission. This is a little sluggish and not so economical option. But this machine, and peak torque is achieved somewhat faster than in another version. The second engine is a 1.5-liter engine with a capacity of 107 horsepower, which is aggregated with a 5-speed mechanics.

Ten seconds to a hundred and a maximum of 180 km / h are absolutely normal parameters that are typical for such a class in the performance of both Europeans and Japanese. The fuel consumption of mechanics is much lower - 8 liters per 100 kilometers in urban mode, compared to 10 at the machine. When choosing an engine in BYD F3, the owners' reviews, as a rule, positively characterize the mechanic. First of all, because of the economy and a little bit more power.

Examples of registration of budget cars are many. Fortunately, BYD F3 chose a quiet design. Of course, the materials are adequate, and the combination of LED backlight with airflow switches is dictated by market requirements. As for the suspension of the car, there is a twofold situation. On the one hand, the chassis does not float and the car does not create the impression of lack of balancing. On the other hand, the elasticity is not enough, the chassis's amortization capacity misses sounds and bumps, but everything is predictable enough on the steering. Now with regard to the price policy BYD F3: the price of a car with mechanics is 11 thousand dollars; For the machine will have to give 3 thousand more. In principle, for a segmented car, in which the main advantage remains the price, BYD F3 - just a wonderful purchase for the average driver. It has all the essentials and there is no cheap tinsel, which Japanese and European automakers are pushing into their budget, increasing the price to 15-18 thousand dollars.
