BYD M6 Electric

The BYD M6 is the budget family entry-level 7-seater crossover by BYD modelled on the Toyota Wish or Honda Stream. Oh wow it had superb suspension, the best I have experienced, second only to the Citroen CX of the 70s and superior to even the present modern day Mercedes GLB, A, C and E classes! It's even better than the twice as expensive Avatr 07 with computerized air suspension!!! Its definitely better than X-Peng and Aion Hyptec. It's even better than modern Citroens offerings supposedly selling itself as "Comfort Package". Its at least the equal to Range Rover, Mercedes S class Beemer 7 Lexus LS450 and Audi Q7. A miracle of quiet cushy cloud-like ride, considering it is an entry budget model intended for the family, fleet, small tradesmen, commercial passenger and taxi segment, and using only traditional struts, shocks and steel springs and nothing in the way of electronic or computerized damping or fancy-pansy gas suspension. BYD Boleh. The M6 is the absolute nadir of conventional sprung suspension engineering miracle. As a driver I tended to have an extreme focus on suspension excellence. I am not impressed by the suspension comfort of even a full-size modern Merc but the M6 shocked me, I am trembling in disbelief bordering on fear now. The M6 is the First time I encounter such good suspension and it's almost like a religious experience. The last time I felt like this was when I first experienced the Citroen CX, which I owned three in succession. This level of softness should not have been possible with non-gas non-hydraulic suspension just using springs and normal shocks. And it's sooo quiet. The insulation from road noise is superior to Mercedes, Audi, Lexus, Jaguar, Aion, Avatr, etc. only those top tier limos using active noise cancellation is better. The BYD M6 sails over the highway like an Olympian god astride clouds. In comparison even the Mercedes GLB is as crude as a tractor. The M6 comfort is god-Tier. And considering it is non-gas non-hydraulic, it is a Miracle god-Tier Wonder It's a revelation to realize that, conversely, how badly made and over-priced are expensive prestige brands when compared with a humble base-model in the BYD catalog. I am awestruck speechless.... Read More

Bought this car about two months ago. Moved on from Honda Shuttle. Good family 7-seater. Last two seats are reasonably-sized. Ride was comfortable and features (ACC, ICC, BSM, ventilated seats) were generous for such pricing. Quiet, comfortable drive with smooth pick-up. Air-con vents for all three rows was a major plus point for ride comfort. I am OK with the analogue dashboard. It does appear odd in an EV car but the central digital panel provides enough information. There is a bit of body-roll even if you are not driving at high speeds. Mileage so far is close to 400++ but full charge as I do not go drive at high speeds. For those who is looking for a 7-seater, this car is worth a serious consideration.... Read More
