Are there still new BYD F0 cars available?
2 Answers
No. The BYD F0 was discontinued in 2015. Here is an introduction to the BYD brand: Brand History: BYD Company Limited was founded in 1995, starting with a workforce of just over 20 people. By 2003, it had grown into the world's second-largest rechargeable battery manufacturer and established BYD Auto in the same year. Within just one year, BYD Auto expanded its product line from the single "Flyer" microcar to a comprehensive range including A-class fuel vehicles, C-class fuel sedans, lithium-ion electric vehicles, and hybrid vehicles. Brand Introduction: BYD Auto adheres to a development strategy of independent research, production, and branding, committed to creating truly affordable and high-quality vehicles for the public. The product designs incorporate advanced international trends while aligning with the aesthetic values of Chinese culture.
As a long-time BYD enthusiast, I can tell you that the BYD F0 was discontinued around 2015, and it's basically impossible to find new ones on the market now. This model was quite popular back then—its compact microcar design made it fuel-efficient and perfect for city commuting. I remember it came with a 1.0L engine, modest in horsepower but highly economical. Why was it discontinued? The market shifted too quickly, and BYD pivoted its focus toward electric vehicles like the Dolphin series. If you're really interested in a similar model, I'd recommend checking local 4S dealership inventories or used car platforms, where you might occasionally find leftover new stock or low-mileage used units, likely priced around 20,000 to 30,000 RMB. As an old fan, I miss the F0's classic design, but it was phased out by the times. Still, picking up a used one for practice isn’t a bad idea, especially for new drivers. Just remember to inspect the car’s condition and maintenance records to avoid buying a problem vehicle.
