What engine is used in the BYD G3?
2 Answers
BYD G3 is equipped with two types of engines, one is a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, and the other is a 1.8L naturally aspirated engine. The 1.5L naturally aspirated engine has a maximum power of 80kW, a maximum torque of 145Nm, with the maximum power achieved at 5800 rpm and the maximum torque at 4800 rpm. In terms of the suspension system, the BYD G3 uses a MacPherson independent suspension at the front and a torsion beam non-independent suspension at the rear. The use of a torsion beam suspension helps to expand the rear passenger space and trunk space.
I remember the BYD G3 was mainly equipped with the BYD473QE, a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine with a displacement of around 1497cc and a maximum power output of approximately 79kW. It drives quite smoothly in daily use, with uniform power delivery, making it suitable for city commuting. The engine design emphasizes fuel efficiency, with a combined fuel consumption of about 6-7L/100km. With proper maintenance, it can easily last over 100,000 kilometers. From my experience, regular checks of the fuel system and spark plugs are crucial to avoid performance issues caused by carbon buildup. Compared to some other models in the same price range, the G3's engine might be slightly noisier, but its maintenance costs are lower, and parts are readily available. While acceleration at highway speeds is a bit weak, it's more than sufficient for urban driving, making it a cost-effective choice.
