2 Answers
The currently available models of BYD S6 all comply with the National IV emission standard. BYD S6 is a mid-size SUV under BYD Auto. The 2014 model was launched in March 2014. In terms of power: The dimensions of the 2014 BYD S6 are 4810-1855-1680mm (length-width-height). The 2.4L naturally aspirated engine delivers a maximum power of 123kW, maximum torque of 234Nm at 4000rpm, maximum horsepower of 167Ps, and reaches maximum power at 6000rpm. In terms of configuration: This engine features multi-point electronic fuel injection technology, with an aluminum alloy cylinder head and cylinder block. It is paired with a 6-speed dry dual-clutch transmission (DCT). The front suspension is MacPherson independent suspension, while the rear suspension is multi-link independent suspension. The parking brake is hand-operated, and both front and rear tires are sized at 225/65R17.
I just drove a BYD S6, my car is the 2013 model, which complied with the China IV emission standard, the fourth phase of national regulations. I remember when I bought the car, the salesperson specifically mentioned this, meaning it was about controlling exhaust pollution. The China IV emission requirements were stricter than the previous China III, such as reducing carbon monoxide and particulate emissions, but compared to the current China V and China VI, it's a bit outdated. In actual use, I found it fine for city driving, but in places like Beijing and Shanghai with environmental restriction zones, it might not be allowed in; during regular maintenance, you need to pay attention to checking the exhaust system to avoid exceeding standards. Overall, the S6 was a good choice back then, offering high cost performance, but with stronger environmental awareness now, I suggest checking local policies carefully when buying a used one. If well maintained, it can still run for a few more years, but in the long run, switching to a China VI car is more worry-free.
