2 Answers
BYD L3 is equipped with two engines in total, namely a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine and a 1.8-liter naturally aspirated engine. The 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine has a maximum power of 109 horsepower and a maximum torque of 145 Nm, featuring VVL variable valve lift technology and multi-point electronic fuel injection technology. It uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block and is paired with a CVT transmission. The 1.8-liter naturally aspirated engine has a maximum power of 122 horsepower and a maximum torque of 160 Nm, equipped with multi-point electronic fuel injection technology. It uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and a cast iron cylinder block, and is matched with a CVT transmission. The BYD L3 is a compact sedan from BYD, featuring a standard keyless entry system across the entire lineup. Owners only need to carry the smart key to achieve keyless entry, one-button start, electronic anti-theft, and vehicle locating functions, further highlighting the premium quality of the L3.
The BYD L3 is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated gasoline engine, with specific models like the BYD473QB, delivering approximately over 80 kW of power. It drives quite smoothly, and I use it for commuting in the city with low fuel consumption—only 6-7 liters per 100 kilometers. A full tank can run about 500 kilometers, making it economical and practical. This engine is independently developed by BYD, with reliable quality and simple maintenance—just changing the oil and filters. I've used it for two years without major issues, only needing to replace a spark plug. I recommend it for novice car owners due to its high cost-performance ratio and good resale value in the used car market. However, don’t rely too much on high-speed power; its acceleration is sufficient for suburban driving. Overall, it’s a worry-free choice.
