The BYD483QB
The BYD483QB design adopts the IVT (Intake Variable Technique) system, which continuously ensures optimum intake efficiency to maintain performance at different loads and speeds and improve driveability and overall engine efficiency. This tried and tested technology has been well received by both the motoring media and consumers.
-
DCT (Dual Clutch Transmission)
A Dual-clutch transmission (DCT) incorporates two separate clutches - one for odd and one for even gears. In simple terms it can be described as two separate manual transmissions (along with their respective clutches) working together within one housing. They are usually operated in a fully automatic mode,but can also allow the driver to manually select gears themselves. DCT gearboxes are capable of changing gear faster and smoother than other conventional gearboxes, providing a more comfortable drive across a wide range of road conditions.
-
Front MacPherson Struts Independent Suspension
The MacPherson strut suspension layout consist of a wishbone or compression link stabilised by a secondary link, which provides a bottom mounting point for the hub or axle of the wheel. This lower arm system ensures both the lateral and longitudinal location of the wheel. The upper part of the hub is rigidly fixed to the inner part of the strut proper, the outer part of which extends upwards directly to a mounting in the body shell of the vehicle.
-
Rear Multi-link Independent Suspension
The multi- link rear suspension layout offers good ride and handling as well as efficient use of space. The main advantage of this type of configuration is that each link, and its associated bushing, can be designed and oriented in the best possible way to benefit the vehicle's dynamic characteristics.
Safety
-
Safety Airbags
To help reduce the impact to occupants in a collision, the S6 is equipped with SRS twin front airbags, side airbags and curtain airbags.
-
Cage-structure Body and Integral Stamping Side Frame
The cage-structure body and integral stamping side frame are designed to reduce the risk of serious injury in the event of a collision.
-
Proximity Sensors
BYD's S6 is equipped with six proximity sensors, two of at the front and four at the rear, to make parking safer and easier. The front sensors alert the driver to obstacles 60cm away, while the middle two rear sensors warn when an obstacle is 120cm away and the outer two 60cm away. In addition, the frequency of the alert intensifies as the car gets closer to the obstacle, making this an easy way to judge distance and avoid scrapes.
-
Rearview System
A rearview camera shows the area behind the vehicle and transmits a picture directly to the DVD system's screen. Superimposed (0.5/1/3 meter) lines indicate the correct path to take, ensuring the driver is able to avoid obstacles which are out of sight. -
Disc Brakes for All Four Wheels
Disc brakes are fitted as standard on all four wheels, in every model, giving excellent braking performance. -
ISO-FIX & Child Safety Lock
Three safety ISOFIX anchors can accommodate child car seats, maximizing the protection for children onboard. -
Side View System
A camera on the side-view mirror provides the driver with a clear view of the right front area.
Intelligent
The engine automatically detects the smart key once it’s inside the vehicle. The engine can then be started or stopped by pressing the "ENGINE START STOP" button (While at the same time stepping on the brake or clutch pedal). If there is not enough power in the smart key battery, the key can be placed near the start button and the car can be started.-
Intelligent Anti-theft System
The S6 anti-theft system features the world's leading intelligent anti-theft technologies including immobilizer, power steering shaft lock and illegal entrance alarm.
-
Integrated Instrument Panel
The S6 instrument panel has a 4.3 inch TFT-LED screen with superior performance in brightness, contrast, power consumption, lifetime, size and weight. The S6 instrument panel provides the driver with real time driving information, such as fuel consumption, driving range, engine speed, average speed, running time, and mileage.
-
CAN Bus
CAN-Bus comprises six communication networks which control a number of independent ECUs (Electronic Control Units). The data is sent and received by a crewel circuit so that each ECU on the network receives information at the same time and can transfer the data to control the appropriate system. CAN-BUS technology provides more stable performance and maximises efficiency.
-
Air Conditioning System
The air conditioning has been integrated into the multi-media system. Driver and passenger can control the dual zone air conditioning via a touch screen to change mode, directionality and strength where necessary. -
Hands-free Bluetooth
The Bluetooth function can easily be turned on and off using the buttons on the lower left of the S6 steering wheel. -
GPS System
The Global Positioning System (GPS) satellite navigation system provides location information to a receiver in the car. Route and location information are clearly displayed and the system also provides audio instructions.
