BYD Cars
The BYD (Build Your Dreams) is a Chinese electric car that has been gaining popularity in the United Kingdom. This five-door hatchback is available with two battery sizes - 41kWh and 62kWh, offering a range of up to 190 miles on a single charge, which should be enough for most UK drivers. The car can be charged from 0-80% in just over an hour using a fast charger.
The BYD offers an impressive level of interior space with comfortable seating for five adults. The car has an impressive array of standard equipment such as alloy wheels, keyless entry, rear parking sensors and camera, heated front seats, and air conditioning. All these features make it ideal for the British climate.
In terms of performance, the BYD comes with an electric motor producing 161bhp and 225lb ft of torque, which is sufficient to provide adequate acceleration for daily driving conditions. It can reach 0-62mph in less than eight seconds. The regenerative braking system also allows drivers to recharge the batteries while they are driving, thus increasing efficiency and saving money.
Safety is also a top priority for the BYD. It comes with autonomous emergency braking (AEB), lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control (ACC), driver fatigue alert, and traffic sign recognition as standard across all models.
One thing worth noting is that although the BYD might be relatively new to the UK market, it has already proven its reliability overseas. In Norway last year, one taxi driver covered over 100k miles in his BYD without experiencing any significant issues.
Overall, if you're looking for an affordable electric car with a decent range and plenty of features to make your driving experience more enjoyable in the United Kingdom conditions – look no further than BYD!
