1 month with BYD E6: Thoughts on range, build quality, comfort and more

Various issues have been resolved in the facelift (BYD eMax 7). Toyota Innova is definitely going to have some competition now.

Having driven a BYD E6 for the last one month (I had booked a BYD Atto 3 and paid fully, but the car had got delayed; Hence BYD provided us with an E6 for our daily use), the car is very, very good.

• Classy & elegant look. It was a face-turner. So many people came to ask about the car
• Fantastic build quality; Built like a tank
• It's a big vehicle. I was driving an MPV for the first time but had no issues with it. Quite manoeuvrable for its size
• Very comfortable seats - front & back
• Spacious interiors; The back seat occupants were very impressed with the comfort & space
• Great steering wheel; Superb driving mechanics
• The older version's power was only 95 hp; But never felt it was underpowered. Overtaking was never a problem
• BYD battery is amazing. I was given 2 different cars over the course of one month. The second car had clocked 99k plus km. The range on charging to 100% was showing as 500km. And the predicted range was always correct.

• I have driven the car at 13% SOC and it drove well. No lag/turtle mode.
• The analogue dials are quite classy, in my opinion.
• The boot space was humungous. But with 7 seats now, that would be less.
• Touch screen was fantastic. No lag at all. Good interface.

The issues of power, halogen lamps etc have all been addressed in the facelift.

It's a fantastic car. The facelift has been priced very competitively. All the necessary bells & whistles have been included. Toyota Innova is definitely going to have some competition now.
