The 2012 BYD e6 for buyers
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2012 BYD e6 for sale by us right now. CarmaCars is not a leasing company. You can rent month to month and stop at the end of any booking. Buying the 2012 BYD e6 is a big decision; here is the information we have.
What to check on the e6
Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.
What the specs mean
Power: the electric motor; drive: front-wheel drive. It is fully electric: no gas at all, and you return it with the charge it had at pickup. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
For every 100 km it uses about 33.6 kWh. Rated range: 196 km. Winter and highway speeds bring it down. Driving 300 km costs roughly $15.12 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$1,200 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Practical details
Being an SUV, it handles luggage, strollers and sports gear well.
Who it is for
It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
Try before you buy
Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. If the e6 is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.
Money matters
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$1,200 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $5.04 in electricity.
Year and trim
Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
