The BYD S2 does not have an engine as it is a pure electric vehicle. This model is equipped with a 95-horsepower electric motor. The BYD S2 is a compact SUV, with the electric motor delivering a maximum torque of 180 Nm, and it uses a ternary lithium-ion battery. The front suspension of the BYD S2 employs a MacPherson independent suspension, while the rear suspension uses a torsion beam non-independent suspension. The BYD S2 is the second model in the BYD e-series and also the first SUV in the e-series lineup, with dimensions of 4100 mm in length, 1785 mm in width, and 1680 mm in height. The new vehicle features BYD's latest Dragon Face family-style front fascia design language, with an overall design aesthetic similar to the current Yuan EV model.
I really enjoy the agile feeling of driving the BYD S2. It is equipped with a pure electric drive system, specifically a 70 kW permanent magnet synchronous motor with a maximum torque of 180 Nm, providing smooth and lag-free acceleration from a standstill. I've driven my friend's car several times, and its 305 km range is very practical—just one charge per week is enough for city commuting. Charging is convenient, supporting both home slow charging and fast charging stations; a fast charge takes only 40 minutes to reach 80%. Compared to traditional gasoline engines, the electric motor is quieter and more environmentally friendly. The battery uses BYD's Blade technology, ensuring safety and reliability. I think electric vehicles are simpler and more cost-effective for daily maintenance, with no need for oil changes or similar tasks.
As a long-time electric vehicle driver, I find the BYD S2 to be truly economical and practical. It's powered by a 70 kW electric motor, providing sufficient power and quick acceleration. The official range is 305 kilometers, which in my actual driving experience lasts for a week's commute plus weekend short trips. Charging is quite convenient, as it can be charged using a household socket and is also compatible with fast charging stations. The maintenance cost of the electric motor is low, and with no exhaust emissions, it's very environmentally friendly. I think this car is perfect for city life; after half a year of driving, the electricity cost has only been a few hundred yuan.
With decades of driving experience, I found the BYD S2 to rely entirely on its electric motor. The 70 kW power output provides a smooth start without the kickback feeling. The 305 km range is practical, but the battery may degrade in low temperatures. The electric motor operates quietly with minimal noise, offering a comfortable drive, and it saves on spark plug replacements compared to traditional engines. I think this type of electric vehicle is suitable for daily commutes, with both price and maintenance being cost-effective.
