BYD S6 I gallery (2011–2015)
The BYD S6 is a mid-size crossover SUV produced from 2011 to 2015 that represented the initial entry of BYD into the global passenger crossover market segment.
Manufactured between 2011 and 2015, the BYD S6 served as the first crossover SUV developed by BYD Auto. Built on a front-wheel-drive steel unibody chassis, the vehicle offered a spacious five-door body structure. Power options comprised naturally aspirated 2.0-liter and 2.4-liter four-cylinder gasoline engines generating 140 and 160 horsepower respectively. Transmission choices included five-speed manual, six-speed manual, and six-speed dual-clutch automatic gearboxes. Drive was delivered solely to the front wheels without an all-wheel-drive option. Interior equipment was generous for its period, offering dual-zone climate control, keyless entry, right-side mirror parking camera, and a touchscreen infotainment unit. The S6 achieved strong commercial success in China and was exported to markets across Eastern Europe, South America, and the Middle East before being succeeded by the Tang. The model represents a significant engineering achievement for BYD, combining refined driving dynamics, low running costs, and comprehensive safety features across all production trim levels.
