I've been driving a car equipped with the BYD476ZQB engine, the 1.5T hybrid version, for several years and found it very reliable. The power response is quick, making overtaking effortless when stepping on the accelerator, and it doesn’t consume much fuel in traffic jams, averaging around 4.5L in the city. There’s a slight vibration inside the car, but it’s tolerable, and no major issues have arisen even after prolonged use—no overheating or oil leaks, for example. Maintenance costs just a few hundred each time. The seats are comfortable, and there’s enough space for a large suitcase during family trips without compromising room. Compared to my friends’ cars, this engine is quieter, and if buying second-hand, the resale value is decent. Overall, it’s well-suited for daily commutes and weekend getaways.
