History

Officially introduced during the 2010 Beijing Auto Show,[2] BYD entered the MPV market in 2009 by launching the M6.

The MPV has two engines, consisting of either the indigenous 2.0 liter engine from the BYD483 series for 138 horsepower 6,000 rpm and 186 N⋅m (137 lb⋅ft) of torque between 4,000 and 4,500 rpm or the Mitsubishi-based 4G69 2.4 liter engine producing 162 horsepower between 5,000 and 6,000 rpm and 220 N⋅m (162 lb⋅ft) of torque between 3500 and 4500rpm.[3]

Design

A Wikileaks cable from Guangzhou mention that the M6 was apparently based closely on the Toyota Previa.[4]
