4 Answers
BYD S6 comes in the following colors: white, gold, Athenian silver, Tianshan white, black, silver, Delan black, Marseille gray, Baodao green, dark green, and Glen blue. The BYD S6 is a mid-size 5-door, 5-seat SUV with the following dimensions: length 4810mm, width 1855mm, height 1680mm, wheelbase 2720mm, minimum ground clearance 190mm, and fuel tank capacity 72L. The front suspension of the BYD S6 is a MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension is a torsion beam non-independent suspension. It is equipped with a 1.5L inline 4-cylinder turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 154PS, maximum power of 113kW, and maximum torque of 240Nm, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.
As an old car enthusiast who has studied BYD's classic models, I remember the BYD S6 had 6 classic colors before discontinuation: Silver Sand Black had a business-like feel with fine metallic particles visible under sunlight; Tianshan White used pearl paint, more oxidation-resistant than regular white; Madrid Gold shifted from champagne to light gold under changing light; Vienna Purple was relatively niche, presenting as a deep purple with gray undertones in person; Delan Black best showcased the paint's smoothness but was prone to showing scratches; Platinum Gray had exceptional texture under showroom lighting. Most models used metallic paint back then, and currently in the used car market, white and black variants retain slightly higher resale values.
Previously, I paid attention to the color options of the S6. The standard color scheme includes three classic shades: black, white, and gray. Snow White is a standard paint finish, and daily maintenance should focus on preventing yellowing. Elegant Black looks particularly shiny after washing but absorbs heat noticeably in summer. Titanium Gray, a metallic paint, is relatively dirt-resistant. Special editions also feature Amber Gold (with a brownish tone under sunlight) and Sapphire Blue (similar to deep-sea blue), both of which are relatively scarce in the used car market. When inspecting the actual vehicle, it is recommended to carefully check for paint oxidation, as older cars with metallic paint tend to have fading edges.
My 2013 S6 is in platinum gray, and this color is great at hiding minor scratches. My neighbor's snow white car started to yellow after five years, so they ended up wrapping it with a color-changing film. I remember the brochure also featured a pure black called Delan Black and a Madrid Gold with gold flakes. Nowadays, when used car dealers appraise vehicles, white models usually get about 500 yuan less than darker colors because they tend to show age more easily. When choosing a color for an older car, pay attention to the difficulty of touch-ups—pearl paints can show noticeable color differences if not properly matched.
