2012 BYD S6 used Mitsubishi engines. Here are the relevant details: 1. The BYD S6 is a mid-size SUV under BYD, with a wheelbase of 2720 mm, and dimensions of 4810 mm in length, 1855 mm in width, and 1680 mm in height. 2. The BYD S6 is equipped with three types of engines: a 1.5L turbocharged engine, a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, and a 2.4L naturally aspirated engine. The BYD S6 offers good overall handling, a high seating position, excellent visibility, clear road feedback, a solid chassis, and decent stability. However, the steering wheel is somewhat heavy, the suspension is slightly stiff, tire noise is noticeable, and the engine power output is average, but it meets daily needs.
I remember the years when the BYD S6 used Mitsubishi engines, roughly around 2011 to 2012. As someone who frequently browsed car forums, I saw a lot of discussions back then. At that time, BYD installed the classic 4G69 engine in the S6 to leverage Mitsubishi's technology and improve vehicle reliability. This was a veteran 2.4L displacement engine, known for its smooth acceleration and stability at high speeds. Many people specifically sought out 2011 or 2012 models when buying used S6s, just for that engine's durability. However, once BYD developed its own technology, the 2013 model switched to a self-developed engine, which offered significant performance upgrades. If you come across a 2012 S6 now, make sure to carefully inspect the engine condition to avoid buying one with severe wear and tear.
