Engine
The petrol engine is presented in two versions.
- The volume is two-liter with four cylinders. 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.
- The volume is 2.4 liters with four cylinders. It has 162 horsepower. Transmission — four-speed automatic. Accelerates in fourteen seconds to 100 km per hour. In the urban mode can use twelve liters per 100 km, along the road — eight. The maximum speed is 185 km per hour.
Multimedia
Before the driver and the passenger is locatedelectronic scoreboard with a speedometer and other various sensors. In the center is a panel with a multimedia system (touch screen), DVD-player, 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 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 what is next when he park.
Specifications BYS S6
Despite the fact that BYD S6 engineers tried in many respects to repeat the second generation Lexus RX, they still fell a little short of a full-fledged copy. Such a nuance affected the drive of the BYD S6 crossover, regardless of the configuration, it will be only the front one, and there is no talk of all-wheel drive.
The explanation for this move is simple, the BYD S6 engine is not powerful enough to make the crossover all-wheel drive. The buyer was offered two gasoline engines. The first unit, it is also the basic one with a volume of 1.5 liters. and 141 hp, such power figures are achieved thanks to the turbine under the hood. Maximum speed
The second gasoline engine BYS S6, 2 liters. will be able to produce 129 hp, which is significantly less in power. This is because the turbine is not installed in the second unit. The maximum speed of such a unit is 180 km / h, and acceleration to hundreds takes 129 seconds. In terms of consumption, BYD S6 is not very gluttonous, 10.7 liters of gasoline in the city, 6.9 on the highway and 8.3 liters in the combined cycle. In some cases, a more powerful gasoline engine with a volume of 2.4 liters and a power of 165 hp can be installed.
Together with BYD S6 engines, the manufacturer proposes to install a mechanical 5 or 6-speed gearbox, but as practice has shown, an automatic gearbox will be installed for an additional fee. We can only guess how high-quality the BYD S6 automatic transmission will be, but the Lexus RX 350 occasionally had problems with gear shifting in the form of jerks.
The suspension of the full-size BYD S6 crossover is independent at both the front and rear. In both cases, a MacPherson strut is installed, with hydraulic shock absorbers and anti-roll bars. As for the braking system, disc brakes are installed on all wheels.
According to the technical characteristics of BYD S6, we can conclude that the engine leaves much to be desired, as for a crossover, you can drive off-road, but obviously not through mud or deep snow. The BYD S6 crossover simply cannot cope due to a lack of power, even in spite of the presence of a turbine.
Price and configuration of the crossover BYD S6
In the Russian automotive market, there are at least four configurations of the BYD S6 crossover, these are GLX-I and GS-I. Each is equipped with a 1.5 liter gasoline engine. or 2 liters. The starting price for the basic configuration starts at 663,000 rubles, the maximum configuration will cost about 1,028,000 rubles. Basically, the main differences are the engine and the equipment with various electronics, the multimedia system and the type of gearbox.
In conclusion about the BYD S6 crossover from the Middle Kingdom, we can say that the manufacturer did not stop copying the design of famous brands, but gradually began to modify individual parts of the body. The engines are still not quite as powerful, some of them are found in the same sedans or hatchbacks, where the total weight is very different.

Exterior crossover BYD S6
Looking at the appearance of the BYD S6 crossover, you can recognize the body of the second generation Lexus RX from any side. The front end of the crossover has been slightly modified, but that doesn’t make it much different from the original. The central part is occupied by a chrome-plated radiator grill, divided by one horizontal line, in the Lexus RX there were many times more such stripes.
Unlike the original, the BYD S6 crossover optics are made in a modern style, although they are based on halogens, and not LEDs, as was supposed. The designers made the background of the optics itself black, which played a significant role in the style of the BYD S6 crossover. Thanks to this move and lines on top of the optics, the front of the crossover turned out to be aggressive.
The front bumper of the BYD S6 was also slightly modernized, but still the features and arrangement of parts are the same as in the Lexus crossover. The central part is reserved for an additional radiator grill, and foglights are placed on the sides. The very bottom, as well as along the entire perimeter, is emphasized by a protective body kit made of black plastic. The hood of the new BYD S6 can be said to be completely stripped from the Lexus RX, the shape and lines are one-to-one taken from the original. Curved lines extend from the edge of the radiator grille to the A-pillars.
The side of the full-size BYD S6 crossover also resembles the second-generation Lexus RX in many ways. The front and rear wheel arches are convex, which creates a line along the entire length that emphasizes the style of the crossover. Starting with the basic configuration, and there will be 4 in total, side mirrors with an electric drive and a repeater are installed. Most of all, the BYD S6 crossover is similar to the original Lexus RX due to the inclination of the front and rear of the body. Also, additional windows (vents) behind the rear doors.
Starting from the basic configuration, the BYD S6 crossover is installed on light-alloy 17 ″ wheels, for an additional fee you can install 18 ″ with a choice of pattern. The rear of the BYD S6 has changed minimally, with new halogen optics and a slightly rounded glass at the bottom. Otherwise, everything was repeated one to one, from the protruding spoiler at the top, to the tilt of the trunk lid and rear bumper. The BYD S6 designers made the rear optics many times larger from the original, placing a smaller part of the stops on the trunk lid, and a larger part on the crossover body.
The dimensions of the BYD S6 crossover fully fit the full-size standard:
- crossover length — 4810 mm;
- width BYD S6 — 1855 mm;
- height — 1725 mm;
- wheelbase — 2720 mm;
- clearance — 190 mm.
The clearance is really good, which will be very useful for bad roads. Depending on the configuration of the crossover with the engine, the weight will be 1685 kg for 1.5 liters. and 1695 kg. for 2 liters. unit. It is not clear why, but in the price lists the Chinese manufacturer refers to the full-size crossover as a hatchback, although it is registered at the stand as a crossover.
By body color, the BYD S6 buyer will be able to choose between:
- White;
- black;
- silver;
- dark grey;
- Brown;
- green.
As you can see, the full-size BYD S6 crossover does not stand out for its special variety and strict colors. As for the roof of the crossover, the GS-I trim levels will be equipped with an electric sunroof and roof rails for attaching an additional trunk or oversized cargo.
In the BYD S6 GLX-I trim levels, the roof will be solid, without a hatch and roof rails, such details will not really play a role in appearance, but it still seems that something is missing. The volume of the luggage compartment with the second row seats folded is 2,400 liters, and in the usual version 1084 liters.
According to the manufacturer, the new full-size BYD S6 crossover is no worse in terms of external qualities than other cars in this class. According to the owners or experienced motorists, the thickness of the metal of the body leaves much to be desired, as well as the anti-corrosion treatment.
Внешность и интерьер
Обычно, рассказывая об автомобиле, другую версию которого мы уже тестировали, мы стараемся как можно меньше повторяться. Но в этот раз, учитывая то обстоятельство, что с предыдущего теста прошел почти год, и в нашей команде появились новые люди, не лишним будет освежить в памяти основные моменты и, может быть, посмотреть на них свежим взглядом.
Дизайн S6 ничуть не изменился, да и не мог он этого сделать, поскольку ни рестайлингу, ни каким-нибудь другим трансформациям автомобиль не подвергался. Неподготовленным взглядом его, как и прежде, легко спутать в дорожном потоке с Lexus RX, но эту тему еще не обсудил разве что ленивый. Куда интересней поговорить о салоне кроссовера — он того стоит. Не слишком дорогие, но вполне приемлемые по качеству материалы отделки, аккуратно состыкованные пластиковые панели, кожа, удобные карманы в дверях, и много полезного пространства как по ширине, так и по высоте. На заднем диване вполне комфортно могут разместиться три взрослых человека. Среднему пассажиру особенно понравится то, что пол под его ногами ровный, без жутко неудобного центрального тоннеля. Сам диван, при этом, наделен возможностью продольной регулировки, а его спинку можно настроить по наклону.
Хороших слов заслуживают и передние кресла. Мощной боковой поддержкой они не отличаются, но в поворотах держат неплохо, а большой диапазон настройке, вкупе с регулировкой руля по высоте и вылету, дают возможность быстро найти оптимальную посадку вне зависимости от роста водителя.
В багажнике BYD S6 можно разместить приличное количество чемоданов или другой поклажи. Если 3-секционную спинку заднего дивана сложить и сам диван отодвинуть вперед, места станет еще больше, но и это не все его достоинства. Фальшпол состоит из нескольких плотных секций, которые легко снимаются для доступа к большому боксу с инструментами. Не поскупились китайцы и на подсветку, и на розетку 12V, и на веревочку, дернув за которую, можно открыть лючок бензобака прямо из багажника.
Словом, все те преимущества интерьера, которые мы отмечали во время первого тест-драйва BYD S6, таковыми и остались. Равно как остались и недостатки, главный из которых — светло-бежевый салон, маркий и малопрактичный.
Драйв
Ну вот мы и добрались до самой сути теста — связки 2,4-литрового бензинового двигателя с 4-ступенчатой автоматической коробкой передач. В отличие от 138 л. с. и 186 Нм 2-литрового агрегата, испытуемый выдает 162 «лошадки» и 220 Нм крутящего момента. Разница весьма ощутимая, невзирая даже на то, что снаряженная масса S6 с таким мотором и «автоматом» на 80 кг больше (1700 против 1620). Разгоняется автомобиль однозначно бодрее, чем задает поездке приятное настроение. Но это отнюдь не значит, что он превращается в нечто невероятно динамичное. Как и любая другая версия S6, тестовая отлично подходит для комфортной и размеренной езды по городу. Автоматическая КПП этому также способствует. Да, конструктивно она не первой свежести. Да, 4-ступенчатая. Да, реагирует на нажатие педали акселератора с небольшой задержкой. Но движение автомобиля при этом получается мягким, лишенным рывков и прочих не слишком приятных моментов.
Разница в динамике между S6 с 2-литровым и 2,4-литровым мотором ощущается не только за счет формально большей мощности и крутящего момента, но и за счет того, что пик тяги приходится не на 4000-4500 об/мин, а на 3500-4000, хотя «автомат» далеко не всегда позволяет графической стрелке тахометра подниматься так высоко. А когда позволяет, это становится отличным тестом на качество шумоизоляции подкапотного пространства. Надо сказать, что на холостых оборотах мотора почти не слышно. Он начинает напоминать о себе лишь на подходе к 3000 об/мин, но этот звук отнюдь не раздражает.
Как ни прискорбно, но за дополнительную мощность, резвость и комфорт расплачиваться приходится расходом топлива. Если S6 с двумя литрами и «механикой» потребляет в городе 11-12 литров бензина, то версия с 2,4-литровым двигателем и автоматической КПП «съедает» 14 литров на 100 км. И что любопытно, заправлять автомобиль теоретически можно 92-м бензином, хотя мы бы советовали не экспериментировать и ориентироваться сразу на 95-й.
Поскольку ходовая часть тестового BYD S6 абсолютно идентична той, что мы тестировали раньше, ничего нового о ней мы не расскажем. Кроссовер ведет себя вполне предсказуемо, неплохо рулится, давая базовый минимум обратной связи с колесами, и прогнозируемо для своих габаритов кренится в поворотах. Впрочем, эти крены не намного сильнее, чем у одноклассников S6 и частично связаны с мягкостью и умеренной длинноходностью подвески, «пробить», которую, кстати, не так уж просто.
Несомненным достоинством кроссовера являются и 190 мм дорожного просвета. Они дают возможность не опасаться бровок, но, в то же время, практически лишены смысла не бездорожье. BYD S6 – автомобиль сугубо переднеприводный, а потому попытка пробраться на нем через труднопроходимые места чревата известными проблемами. С другой стороны, в городе полный привод нужен далеко не всегда, да и расход топлива он явно не уменьшит, поэтому решение BYD ограничиться моноприводом в данной ситуации выглядит вполне логично.
Security systems BYD S6
The variety of safety systems of the BYD S6 crossover is not as great as that of the older brother Lexus RX, but still, there is something to be noted as for a Chinese car. Airbags are installed along the perimeter of the interior of the crossover, for the front and rear rows — these are standard in the steering wheel and front panel, as well as side airbags and curtains in front and behind to protect against side impact.
The standard set of BYD S6 includes ABS and EBD systems, central locking with remote control, parking sensors and a standard immobilizer. As for the sensors, the manufacturer has installed automation on the front optics and a rain sensor. It is not known whether auxiliary systems will still be installed on the BYD S6 crossover, since the manufacturer does not indicate a complete list in the price list.
According to BYD S6 engineers, in safety tests under the Chinese C-NCAP program, the crossover received 5 stars, which is considered the highest safety rating.
Interior of the crossover BYD S6
The interior of the BYD S6 crossover, like the exterior, resembles the second generation Lexus RX in many features. The central part of the console is reserved for an audio system for the GLX-I equipment and a multimedia system based on a 7 ″ touch screen for the BYD S6 GS-I.
To the right and left of the display are buttons for controlling various auxiliary systems and crossover safety. Above the display, BYD S6 designers placed two air vents and a small monochrome display of the on-board computer. Under the display is dual-zone climate control. As in the second generation Lexus RX, the cigarette lighter is not hidden, as well as the raised gear knob.
It is worth noting that it is with this part that the BYD S6 crossover resembles the famous Lexus RX. The upper part of the designers nevertheless changed a little due to the display of the on-board computer.
The driver’s seat of the BYD S6 crossover was nevertheless changed, in particular, it is the instrument panel. The center is occupied by a large speedometer with a mechanical needle, but the rest is occupied by LCD displays, which can be adjusted at will, as well as the backlight color. Instead of an ignition key, the engineers installed a Start / Stop button for the engine, which indicates the presence of a keyless access system to the car. The designers have already made the steering wheel for the new BYD S6, they decided not to repeat the Lexus and we can say that the steering wheel turned out to be very comfortable. Covered in leather and heated for maximum equipment. The center is reserved for the company logo, and the side spokes and under them are located multimedia buttons. Thanks to the adjustment, the BYD S6 steering wheel can be adjusted for both height and reach, while memory for three drivers is available.
As for the interior decoration of BYD S6, the designers decided not to save money and use leather in all trim levels. You can choose between solid and combined (solid and with perforated inserts). In this case, the seats, steering wheel, individual elements of the dashboard and door linings will be covered. Between the front seats there is a panel with a small compartment for various little things, a mechanical handbrake, by the way, many owners have already noted the inconvenience, the distance from the driver’s seat to the handbrake is very small. Thus, the handbrake rubs against the seat or clings to the seat with your fingers.
For convenience, a good audio system with 9 speakers for the GS-I configuration and 4 speakers for the GLX-I can be noted. A rear view camera that will allow you to park without problems or see what is happening behind the crossover. In the maximum configuration of BYD S6, illumination of the driver’s and front passenger’s feet will be installed, as well as illumination of thresholds along the entire perimeter.
The rear row of BYD S6 seats is roomy enough and designed for three passengers.The seats themselves are folded 60:40, which allows you to transport oversized cargo.
The interior of the BYD S6 will be available in austere shades:
- White;
- black;
- Gray;
- beige.
As the manufacturer specifies, the black color will mainly be available, since it was more calculated for the weather conditions in our area, for hot areas the BYD S6 crossover will be supplied with a light interior. The shape of the seat will suit lovers of a soft fit with streamlined sides. A note to the black interior of BYD S6 was the white thread, which is clearly visible on a black background, and the quality of the threads would be higher. Still, it is not excluded to order an interior to your liking.
In general, the interior of the full-size BYD S6 crossover turned out to be very good in comparison with the cost of the car. Rich equipment and a lot of features in the standard crossover set.
Crossover BYD S6: reviews
Before buying a car, read the reviewsabout this model. They can learn the opinions of the owners who are already in practice faced with the shortcomings and advantages of their vehicle.
At the very beginning of production of this brandThe car interior was made in light colors. The owners have written many negative reviews on this matter. One of the main reasons — the march of the salon. Manufacturers went to meet customers and began to produce a car with black upholstery.
Do not be lazy, read reviews. They will find all about what difficulties and problems await you, if you acquire the so-called Chinese «Lexus» — BYD S6.
So, on the one hand, the car has a solidexterior, large saloon, comfortable suspension, rich equipment and affordable price. And on the other — a low-powered engine, high gasoline consumption, incomprehensible steering. Should you pay attention to the BYD S6 crossover, decide for yourself.
Приборы и мультимедиа
Одной из забавных составляющих первого знакомства с S6 для нас была мультимедийная система кроссовера, не понимавшая ни одного другого языка, кроме китайского. Тогда импортер списал это на спешку с сертификацией и пообещал все исправить. И слово свое сдержал. Русского интерфейса, правда, по-прежнему нет и пока не предвидится, а вот английский уже есть, и, надо сказать, найти с мультимедийкой общий язык оказалось довольно просто. Во всяком случае, есть ради чего тратить на это время, поскольку система весьма и весьма функциональна. Например, она умеет читать DVD-диски, работает как телевизор, позволяет подключать мобильный телефон через Bluetooth, выводит изображение с боковой и задней видеокамер, дает возможность управлять раздельным климат-контролем, интенсивностью обдува и т. д. Недостаток системы — загадочное расположение USB-порта на торце центрального тоннеля, почти на полу между передними сиденьями. Крайне неудобно, но сделать с этим, увы, ничего нельзя.
Глядя на панель приборов с ее большим спидометром и двумя дисплеями с синей подсветкой, сначала пугаешься такого обилия графики, однако со временем к ней привыкаешь. Начинает даже казаться, что это почти идеальный способ отображения информации. И все же, классический вид щитка, на наш взгляд, выглядел бы в S6 более уместно и стильно. А если бы в BYD еще и цифровой компас с салонного зеркала убрали…
Advantages and disadvantages
Among the major shortcomings can be identified the presence offront 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 the engine, an unjustifiably high consumption of gasoline. 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!
Appearance: dimensions and tuning BYD S6
The length of the crossover is 4810 centimeters,width — 1855. Height — 1680, and if we consider also the roof rails, then 1725 centimeters. The car BYD S6 has a luggage compartment in volume of 1084 liters, and if to remove rear seats it can be increased to 2400 liters. The weight of the car reaches 1,700 kilograms in running order.
It has long been no secret that the crossover repeatsthe exterior of the Lexus RX (2006 release), which has already left the conveyor, although Chinese manufacturers deny it. Because of this similarity, this crossover brand is called the Chinese «Lexus».
Concern BYD is promisingthe automaker. It also specializes in producing high-quality accessories that are used for car tuning. In branded salons you can purchase various spare parts to change the appearance of this brand. Thus, you will make your crossover unique, bright and stand out from the whole mass of monotonous cars. By attaching the cilia to the headlights, installing deflectors, tuning rear and front bumpers, spoilers, thresholds, plastic hoods and wings, you radically change the appearance of vehicles.
Interior of the Chinese «Lexus»
The interior of the car BYD S6 is nicesurprises. 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, 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. Most importantly, 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 storing 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.
Specifications
The ground clearance is 190 millimeters. Thanks to such data, the so-called Chinese «Lexus» can quite feel confident on bumps and roughnesses. But still the driver needs to be careful on the bumps, since there is a spare tire in the trunk area.
Equipped with a Chinese crossover BYD S6 independent suspension, discs with a diameter of seventeen inches, disc brakes and power steering.
The car has the following specifications:
- rear transverse and longitudinal arms — twenty-two millimeters, respectively;
- Rear stabilizer — sixteen millimeters, its racks — ten;
- steering tips — twenty-three millimeters;
- the front stabilizer is twenty-four, its racks are eleven millimeters;
- the thickness of the semiaxis is twenty-eight millimeters;
- wheelbase is 2720 millimeters.
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’s measured.
Dynamics and serious off-road qualitiesthe crossover can not boast. Rather, it is designed for a measured and leisurely drive around the city and beyond. And what is hidden under the hood? Let’s open the secret to domestic motorists.
