It is worth mentioning one more feature of this brand. On a low gear, the crossover dynamically gains speed, and on a high gear it is measured.

Dynamics and serious off-road qualities the crossover can not boast. Rather, it is designed for a measured and leisurely drive around the city and beyond. And what is hiding under the hood? Let's open the secret to domestic motorists.

Engine

The petrol engine is presented in two versions.

• The volume is a two-liter four-cylinder. Transmission - five-speed manual. The car has a capacity of 138 horsepower. Accelerates to 100 km per hour in thirteen seconds. On the highway, the gasoline consumption is seven liters per 100 km, and in the city - eleven. The maximum speed can be developed up to 180 km per hour.

Interior of the Chinese "Lexus"

The interior of the car BYD S6 pleasantly surprises. It allows you to accommodate five adult passengers. The interior is quite well made noise insulation. During the ride of the driver and passengers, no squeak or noise distracts. The engine is covered with a plastic screen, so how it works, is almost not audible. Seats are well regulated. In the trunk under the cardboard raised floor there are several depressions, where you can place a jack, screwdrivers and much more. The main thing is that they will not be scattered around the trunk, and you will always have order. For the driver and in front of the seated passenger on the horizontal panel there are: a climate system, compartments for coasters, for storage of a mobile phone and small gizmos. So, the cabin of the crossover is ergonomic and spacious, there are many additional functions not only for the driver, but also for the passengers.

Multimedia

Before the driver and the passenger there is an electronic scoreboard with a speedometer and other various sensors. In the center is a panel with a multimedia system (with a touch screen), a DVD player, a USB input. Throughout the interior of the car are placed speakers that provide high-quality music sound. In the rear-view mirror, which is located in the cabin, a compass is built in. But this, in the opinion of many, is superfluous, since it worsens the visibility during the ride, and especially at night due to the bright illumination. It should be noted and a positive moment - this is the presence of two video cameras. One provides an overview behind the crossover, the image is immediately displayed on the screen, which is located on the central panel. The other is in the right rear view mirror. This camera is controlled by buttons located on the handlebars. It is very convenient. After all the driver perfectly sees, that settles down nearby, when it is parked.

Advantages and disadvantages

Among the major shortcomings can be identified the presence of the front drive and a weak engine. The car is not as dynamic during the ride as it would be desirable, and its patency is not too high. For such a volume of engine unreasonably high gasoline consumption. Also, drivers say that there is an unusual gearbox, that the salon is decorated with low-quality imitation leather and hard plastic.

But do not forget about the merits of the car. The crossover has an interesting interior, a rich package, a spacious interior, a successful suspension. And all these positive qualities - for such a low price!
