Can the BYD F0 seat be adjusted for height?

[DiCharlotte]

The BYD F0 seat cannot be adjusted for height. The seat can be moved forward and backward, and the backrest can be adjusted for tilt to find a suitable seating position. To adjust the seat's forward and backward position, pull the horizontal lever underneath. The angle of the rear seats can be reclined, and when folded down, they provide additional space in the trunk. The BYD F0 is a compact car introduced by BYD, equipped with the company's self-developed BYD371QA high-performance eco-friendly engine, with a displacement of 1.0L, meeting the National IV emission standards. The BYD F0 comes with dual airbags, ABS, power steering, and other systems. The car's dimensions are 3.460 meters in length, 1.618 meters in width, and 1.465 meters in height, with a wheelbase of 2.34 meters.

I just bought a used BYD F0 and have researched this issue. The seats in the base model F0 are fixed and cannot be adjusted for height. However, the premium version's driver seat has a manual adjustment feature—there's a lever on the left side of the seat, and lifting it up raises the seat. This design is especially useful for someone like me, who's under 1.6 meters tall, as adjusting the height makes pressing the clutch more comfortable. The rear seats cannot be adjusted for height, but this feature comes in handy when there's a significant height difference between front-seat occupants, like when couples take turns driving. Also, a tip for those considering buying used: when inspecting the seats, test the adjustment lever thoroughly—older cars are prone to jamming, and mine needed repairs once.

This is a common question we get at tuning shops. The base model BYD F0 seats indeed don't support height adjustment, but the chassis has reserved modification space. We recommend installing a custom lift bracket - costs around 300 RMB and takes about half an hour for DIY installation. Important: choose industrial-grade brackets with triple-hole fixation, avoid cheap plastic ones. A friend once used thick books as seat risers - works in emergencies but shifts dangerously over speed bumps. Pro tip: the actual height adjustment range is only about 5cm, which has limited effect for drivers over 180cm. Backrest adjustment actually matters more.

The car enthusiast group had heated discussions about the configuration differences of the F0. Both the Classic and Yueku models come with fixed seats, while only the Premium model features height adjustment. Based on my actual measurement, the adjustment range is approximately 2-4 cm, operated via the crescent-shaped lever on the left side of the seat. This function improves visibility more noticeably than expected, especially when checking the distance to the car ahead at a red light. Be careful not to pull too hard during adjustment, as the spring plate is prone to breaking and hard to replace. For maintenance, it's recommended to spray some WD-40 into the adjustment slot every quarter to prevent rust. If you experience back pain during long drives, adjusting the seat higher and using a lumbar support can be more effective. Of course, if your model lacks this feature, don't fret—adding a memory foam cushion can also help.
