The BYD S6 and S7 are essentially sibling models with shared lineage, but the upgrades in the S7 are quite noticeable. Firstly, the S7 is larger in size compared to the S6, with a wheelbase extended by 50mm, allowing ample legroom in the rear seats. The most significant change is in the powertrain—while the S6 uses a 2.0L or 1.5T engine paired with either a manual or dual-clutch transmission, the S7 comes with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, delivering noticeably stronger acceleration and making highway overtaking much easier. In terms of features, the S7 outshines its predecessor with additions like a 360° panoramic camera, tire pressure monitoring, and a panoramic sunroof, which were unthinkable in the S6. The S7 also offers a 7-seat configuration, making family trips more convenient. In the used car market, a 2015 S7 typically commands about 10,000 RMB more than a same-year S6, reflecting the value of these upgrades.
