Buying the 2016 BYD e6
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2016 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. For anyone shopping for the 2016 BYD e6, here are the facts that matter.
A buyer's checks
Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.
The numbers in plain words
The electric motor does the work, through a 1-speed automatic. 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 29.2 kWh. On paper it goes 301 km between charges, less in winter. That works out to about $4.38 per 100 km at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$1,050 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Good uses for the e6
It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.
Size and space
The higher seat of a compact SUV gives a good view of the road in traffic. Luggage space is rated at 453 litres: a family's bags for a long weekend.
A longer test drive
A week with the e6 answers more than any brochure. If the e6 is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.
Choosing the right one
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
The cost of driving it
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Charging at home usually costs less than public fast charging. The EPA estimates US$1,050 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
