What is the fuel consumption of the BYD S6?

[VanDerek]

The fuel consumption of the BYD S6 ranges from 8.0 to 11.2L. Taking the BYD S6 2014 1.5TI Manual Flagship 5-seater as an example, its body dimensions are 4810mm in length, 1855mm in width, and 1725mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2720mm. The BYD S6 is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission, delivering a maximum horsepower of 154ps, a maximum power of 113kw, and a maximum torque of 240nm. The drivetrain is front-wheel drive, with a front suspension type of MacPherson independent suspension and a rear suspension type of multi-link independent suspension.

As someone who has been driving for over a decade, I have a deep understanding of the BYD S6's fuel consumption. My vehicle is the 2.0L version, mainly used for urban commuting. In heavy traffic, the fuel consumption can reach up to 12L/100km, while cruising at around 80 mph on the highway can bring it down to about 9L/100km, which feels quite average. With good driving habits—avoiding sudden acceleration and hard braking—keeping the consumption at 10L/100km is manageable. Regular maintenance is crucial; maintaining proper tire pressure and cleaning the throttle body can help save fuel. Load also plays a role; fuel consumption spikes when fully loaded. Overall, higher fuel consumption is normal for SUVs, but as long as it's practical, it's acceptable. Just keep an eye on the fuel gauge and refuel in time.

As someone with mechanical knowledge, I believe the fuel consumption of the BYD S6 is influenced by multiple factors. Official data shows a combined fuel consumption of 9-12L/100km. Based on my road tests, it can reach 11-13L in congested urban conditions due to frequent start-stop cycles. From a technical perspective, the 1.5T engine is slightly more fuel-efficient than the 2.0L version, saving about 1-2L. Driving habits such as avoiding sudden acceleration and maintaining speeds between 60-90 mph are crucial. Temperature also plays a role, with summer AC usage increasing fuel consumption by 10%. I recommend checking tire pressure and engine oil condition, as well as regularly cleaning the air filter to improve fuel efficiency and prevent fuel line blockages.

I drive a BYD S6 for daily commuting, with an average fuel consumption of 11L per 100km. During traffic jams to and from work, the fuel burns faster, reaching up to 12L. On highways, it's more relaxed, dropping to 9L. Using air conditioning increases fuel consumption, so I roll up the windows to save fuel when it's hot. Usually, I avoid frequent overtaking and press the accelerator steadily to slow down the fuel gauge drop. Carrying friends or loading more in the trunk also increases fuel consumption.
