Yes, there is an automatic version! The BYD FO actually refers to the classic BYD F0 model, which indeed offers an automatic transmission option, typically equipped with an AMT (Automated Manual Transmission) system. This setup essentially simplifies driving—no clutch pedal needed, as the system handles gear shifts automatically, making it quite hassle-free, especially in urban stop-and-go traffic. The AMT design is cost-effective and more fuel-efficient than traditional automatic transmissions since it retains the structural efficiency of manual gearboxes. However, gear shifts might occasionally feel delayed or jerky, particularly during acceleration or uphill driving. As a discontinued model, it was quite popular in the Chinese market back then, primarily due to its budget-friendly price. For maintenance, the AMT requires regular checks on the clutch and control module to avoid minor issues, but this doesn’t undermine its practicality as an entry-level automatic option. If you're interested, the used car market still has plenty of AMT-equipped F0s available, often at more affordable prices.
