Does the BYD F3 meet China 6 emission standards?
2 Answers
BYD F3 does have models that meet China 6 emission standards. Here are the detailed specifications: Body dimensions: The BYD F3 measures 4533mm in length, 1705mm in width, and 1490mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2600mm. It has a minimum ground clearance of 170mm, a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters, and a trunk capacity of 430 liters. Configuration: The BYD F3 features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine that delivers a maximum horsepower of 109PS, a maximum power of 80kW, and a maximum torque of 148Nm. It is paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.
I've driven the BYD F3 for several years, and it's truly a classic. However, it was already out of production when the China VI emission standards came out. As far as I remember, the last batch of F3 models complied with China V standards, and production ceased around 2018 as BYD shifted its focus to electric vehicles. Currently, if you find used F3s on the market, they're mostly China IV or China V compliant. They're still okay to drive in small or medium-sized cities, but you might face restrictions in larger cities with stricter emission regulations. If you're specifically looking for a China VI compliant car, BYD's newer models like the Qin Pro DM-i meet the standard and are fuel-efficient. Alternatively, you could consider compact cars from other brands. In short, the F3 is outdated, so don't expect a China VI version of it.
