What engine does the BYD M6 use?

[SanHadley]

BYD M6 is equipped with a naturally aspirated engine model 488QA, which has a maximum horsepower of 167, maximum torque of 234 N·m, and maximum power of 123 kW. The maximum torque speed is 4000 rpm, and the maximum power speed is 6000 rpm. BYD M6 is an MPV model under BYD, with a length, width, and height of 4820 mm, 1810 mm, and 1765 mm respectively, and a wheelbase of 2960 mm. In terms of appearance, the BYD M6 features a new front grille and air intake, combined with aluminum-plated combination lights and chrome-plated fog lamp eyebrows, giving the front face a more grand and concise look. The rear license plate area is adorned with chrome trim, and the BYD family-style colorful illuminated rear logo is added.

As someone who has been delving into automotive technology, I have a deep understanding of the engine configuration of the BYD M6. This MPV commonly features a 1.5T turbocharged engine, model BYD476ZQA, delivering 113kW of power and 240Nm of torque, which provides excellent low-end power response for city driving. It also employs direct fuel injection technology to enhance fuel efficiency, with a fuel consumption of approximately 7.5L per 100km. Compared to the previous 2.0L naturally aspirated version, the BYD483QA with 103kW of power, the turbocharged engine is more fuel-efficient and powerful, but requires regular maintenance of the turbo components to prevent overheating. BYD independently developed these engines, showcasing the progress of Chinese brands. They are relatively simple to maintain and are well-suited for family long-distance travel.

I have been driving the BYD M6 as my daily car for three years and have gained deep personal experience. It is primarily equipped with a 1.5T engine, model BYD476ZQA, which offers impressive acceleration—power is readily available when overtaking, and it feels stable and fuel-efficient on highways. Daily commuting fuel consumption is around 7-8L, making it more cost-effective than some joint-venture cars. The engine noise from BYD's in-house design is slightly noticeable during startup, but later improved versions have optimized sound insulation, and reliability is decent. I recommend new owners pay attention to avoiding overloading during the break-in period, regularly check the engine oil, and prevent minor issues from affecting performance.

From the perspective of someone with extensive car repair experience, I've encountered many engine issues with the BYD M6. It typically uses either the 1.5T BYD476ZQA turbocharged engine or the 2.0L BYD483QA naturally aspirated version. The 1.5T version offers strong power but commonly suffers from turbo lag, requiring high-quality oil changes every 5,000 kilometers to protect components. The naturally aspirated engine is simpler to maintain with fewer faults, and its 103kW power output is sufficient for city driving. BYD's engine design is pragmatic with low maintenance costs, but neglecting the cooling system may lead to overheating and affect longevity.
