Does the BYD F0 have an automatic transmission?
2 Answers
Yes. They are the 1.0L AMT Cool Style and 1.0L AMT Joy Style. The exterior of the new car is the same as the other versions currently on the market, with no changes. The rear of the new car will be marked with an AMT badge to indicate its automatic transmission version. Below is relevant information: Introduction: The BYD F0 is a microcar under BYD, which was very popular among consumers when it was first launched. The exterior design of the BYD F0 is very compact and cute. Engine: The 1.0-liter naturally aspirated three-cylinder engine in this car has 68 horsepower and a maximum torque of 90 Nm. The engine's maximum power speed is 6000 rpm, and the maximum torque speed is 4000 to 4500 rpm. This engine is equipped with multi-point fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block.
I remember when the BYD F0 was first launched, people were quite interested in its compact body, and I considered getting one for city commuting. After checking official materials and forum discussions, I found it mainly featured a manual transmission, which is flexible and fuel-efficient, but automatic versions were rare. A few older models might have been equipped with a semi-automatic transmission, but you'd need to check specific years and dealers to confirm. Nowadays, BYD has rolled out newer models like the Qin series with automatic transmissions, offering more stable power. If you're not comfortable with manual shifting, especially in traffic jams, it can be tiring—I'd recommend test-driving first or considering other budget-friendly models with automatic transmissions. For city commuting, comfort is key, so don’t just focus on the price and overlook the details.
