BYD S2 is not equipped with an engine, but it is equipped with a 95-horsepower electric motor. Here is some information about the BYD S2: 1. The electric motor of the BYD S2 has a maximum torque of 180 Nm, and this model uses a ternary lithium battery. BYD is a manufacturer that prefers to use lithium iron phosphate batteries, but recently, BYD has also launched many pure electric vehicles that use ternary lithium batteries. 2. The BYD S2 is a small SUV, and the appearance of this model is quite compact and cute. The front suspension of the BYD S2 uses a MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension uses a torsion beam non-independent suspension.
As a BYD owner for several years, I remember the S2 all-electric SUV uses an electric drive system, without the traditional gasoline engine. Its core is an efficient electric motor, specifically a permanent magnet synchronous type, with sufficient power for daily use—around 70 kilowatts, equivalent to about 95 horsepower. It drives smoothly, accelerates quickly, and is quiet, especially during city commutes, with low energy consumption. Paired with the large-capacity battery pack, the range typically falls between 250 to 300 kilometers. Charging at home is convenient, usually filling up overnight. For me, driving this car saves a lot on fuel costs and is eco-friendly. Maintenance is also simpler—the electric motor doesn’t require frequent oil changes like older cars, though the battery needs care to avoid too many fast charges. Overall, it feels much cleaner than a fuel-powered car, and I’d recommend it to tech-savvy young people—once you try it, you’ll see how comfortable it is.
From practical driving experience, the BYD S2, as a pure electric vehicle, relies on its electric motor to drive the wheels, with a power output around 70 kW, delivering quite stable performance. I use it for commuting and find it quick off the mark, free from the vibrations of a traditional engine, with sufficient battery range to avoid charging anxiety during normal commutes. Compared to older models, this system is more energy-efficient, costing just a few cents per kilometer, making it much more economical. If you're considering a purchase, I recommend checking out its fast-charging feature, which can replenish most of the battery in just half an hour. Overall, the driving experience is excellent value, making it suitable for families looking to save money while enjoying convenience.
