BYD F3 sedan and hatchback. Byd F3 – don’t manage your dream, but build it

Chinese car BYD F3 was presented at the Shanghai Auto Show in April 2005. On Russian market The model debuted in 2007 as part of the Automobile World 2007 auto exhibition. It took a little more than a year to develop and launch this model. Its appearance on the market caused a real revolution - in less than a year, more than 55 thousand BYD F3 appeared on the roads of China, which increased the total sales volume of BYD Auto by more than 4.5 times.

This C class sedan ( overall dimensions 4533x1705x1490 mm) was originally created with an eye on the foreign market, and therefore taking into account the tastes of Europeans. Was taken as a basis Toyota car Corolla Altis, widely known in Southeast Asia.

The exterior features chrome moldings, door handles and a radiator grille that are in harmony with alloy wheels. The BYD F3 interior is distinguished by a decent level of assembly and finishing made of light-colored materials. The ergonomics of the driver's seat are at the proper level. The only complaint that can be caused is the lack of height adjustment of the steering column. The rear row of seats is designed more for shorter passengers; for taller people, the headroom may not be enough.

However, in the back row, the seats of which fold in a ratio of 70:30, there are all the attributes of comfort: a retractable armrest, an ashtray, and a lamp installed. On the way, passengers are entertained by an audio system with a CD changer, a climate control system takes care of comfort, and the driver’s work is assisted by parking sensors. The interior design of the BYD F3 is generally modest, but solid, and is distinguished by well-thought-out organization. Visibility is good, except that the side mirrors bring objects very close.

BYD F3 is equipped with a four-cylinder sixteen-valve gasoline engine volume 1.6 l., power 100 hp. at 6 00 rpm. This power unit, created by Mitsubishi, has a moderate appetite of up to 7-10 liters. fuel per 100 km. But in order to quickly accelerate the car, you need to constantly turn the engine and often change gears of a fuzzy manual transmission, as well as steering The car is not pleased with its high levels of information content. The chassis copes with minor irregularities confidently and does not create discomfort in the cabin. Shocks from all kinds of bumps and patches are especially easily and imperceptibly dampened. But larger ones, such as speed bumps, are affected by excessive elasticity - the rear of the car tosses up. The car brakes well, thanks to disc brakes on all wheels, ABS does not sleep and responds on time. And yet, you can and should ride the BYD F3 calmly and smoothly, since this is exactly the type of ride that this model provides.

Model BYD sedan The F3 is available in three configurations: BYD F3 1.6 MT GLX-i, 1.6 MT G-i, 1.6 MT GL-i. The engine is combined only with a five-speed manual transmission.

The basic modification includes: velor interior, air conditioning, electric windows and mirrors, power steering, ABS with EBD, front airbags, central locking with remote control, seat belts with pretensioner. In addition, protection for passengers is provided by a reinforced body with energy-absorbing zones located on it. More expensive modifications are equipped complete package security systems, have leather interior trim with wooden inserts (top version), CD player, climate control system, parking sensors. Available for extra charge navigation system and a power sunroof.

On December 27, 2007, in the laboratory of the Dmitrov test site (FSUE NITSIAMT), a crash test of the car was carried out using the EuroNCAP method. Based on the results BYD test F3 scored 10.2 points out of 16 possible.

Spacious interior, huge list of options, decent workmanship combined with more than at an affordable price- these are the reasons why F3 became a bestseller in China.

The Chinese company BYD worked in the Russian market in the mid-2000s, but then it was defeated by its compatriots and was forced to stop sales. Today, the manufacturer has strengthened significantly and gained a foothold even in the markets of European countries. Therefore, the second appearance of the Chinese concern on our market will be serious and for a long time. One of the proposed car models is the BYD F3, a mid-size sedan without much luxury and overpriced.

The budget car offers buyers a good package. BID F3 is equipped with everything necessary already in the basic version, and the cost of this very configuration is ridiculously low. But this is only true when talking about the generation of F3 that is being sold today. In 2015, the company is going to update the car and make it completely different.

Appearance of the 2015 generation and plans for the future

Judging by the photos of the corporation's current new products, the next generation BYD F3 R will be completely different from what it is today. Just one review of its older brother - F5 Suri - can roughly show what awaits fans Chinese brand in the near future. If, despite all its beauty in official photos, the car retains its charm and trust in quality, sales will be excellent.

Current owner reviews of the BYD F3 show that the car is quite worthy in technical terms, but they are not enthusiastic about its appearance. There is no particular desire to do a detailed review of the current generation, because everything here is very simple. But the Chinese model marked New can arouse real interest with the following features:

• complete appearance tuning, including changing the shape and functions of the optics;
• a new car that can show character and become one of the brightest representatives of the Celestial Empire in the automotive world;
• emphasizing the technical characteristics and new engines in each body line of the BYD F3 R;
• there are many similarities with the previous generation Toyota, but this similarity is only pleasing;
• unique interior design, which made the car more comfortable and easier to drive;
• surprisingly high-quality materials in the cabin;
• availability of hatchback and sedan cars.

The machine really surprises with its simplicity, reliability and special calling in model line companies. True, the updated design is unlikely to remain on offer for long. The car needs a radical update and closer to the older cars of the brand.

So far, the BYD F3 R and the standard sedan model have too little personality. A detailed review of the car, as well as reviews from owners who encounter the features of this model every day, all indicate the presence of a large number of imitations. Whether this is good or bad is up to the potential buyer of a Chinese car to decide.

The technical part of the sedan, which will soon appear in Russia

Car in body New With the factory appearance tuning I couldn’t leave the old equipment. It is still impossible to say definitively which engines will complement the car, but we can confidently talk about an increase in the manufacturability of the car’s internals. Reviewing the BYD F3 car turned out to be an exciting experience, because the Chinese offered competitive technology.

Specifications cars from the Middle Kingdom have changed significantly lately. And these reformations are often associated with improvements, improved quality and other features. In the case of the BYD F3 R hatchback and the sedan of the same name, the following changes have occurred:

• engines have become more interesting, consume less fuel and produce more horses;
• manual gearboxes have not changed, but the automatic transmission comes from Japanese technology;
• the car received a new suspension, which will carry passengers and the driver much more smoothly on bad roads;
• the New version will receive excellent equipment, which will also please the buyer;
• the basic version will have more technology at the same price.

The company promises to leave the cost of the car at 390,000 rubles so that the BYD F3 R continues to be an affordable Chinese offering. The current appearance of the corporation on the Russian market has become very fruitful. In addition to an elite SUV and a luxury sedan, the company presented a car whose technical characteristics and price will suit buyers in the budget class.

A Chinese sedan with a note to the name New will turn out to be a more advantageous offer in the world of cars for Russians than most domestic models. Moreover, the Chinese have significantly improved the quality of their technology.

Let's sum it up

It is difficult to say that the BYD F3 can become one of the most popular cars in its class. But this one chinese car is quite capable of gaining a good position in the sales ranking. The very appearance new version cars attracts the attention of lovers of inexpensive and high-quality transport.

The main thing is that your attitude towards Chinese cars allows you to spend a certain amount of money on this offer. Judging by the reviews from real customers, you about given consumption you won't regret it.

BYD F3 is a full-fledged competitor to the Japanese auto industry, because the roots Chinese sedan lie in the Toyota and Mitsubishi companies. Essentially, it's a Corolla, but with Lancer engine. About this and much more in the article.

Review content:

Today most market, occupied by Chinese goods. This also affected the auto industry. The more demand there is for cheap analogues of expensive originals, the more manufacturers and goods there are. As always, the heavens offered their own ideas this time too. The BYD F3 brand car has been trying to “immigrate” to Russia for several years now. And it should be noted, successfully.

History of BYD F3

Before giving analysis of this car, you need to delve a little into his “personal file”. BYD Auto is a Chinese automobile manufacturer, which is a sister company of the BYD Company Ltd holding company. The holding was founded back in 1995 in Guangdong province, in the city of Shenzhen of the People's Republic of China. The company has its own ideals: “Your ideas into your car.” This is a hint that the company develops its cars without the help of others and this distinguishes them from its competitors. But saying it doesn't mean doing it.

At the beginning of his career in the year 1995, the company’s workforce consisted of thirty people. The holding achieved its “evolution” only in 2003, when it bought an automobile plant in Qinchuan at auction. The purchase also included a car called Flyer; oddly enough, this car is still produced to this day. A re-registration process took place and BYD opened an auto company, adding the word Auto.

Byd F3 – don’t manage your dream, but build it

In order not to be disappointed or jump for joy, depending on who you are, let’s approach the car step by step. Car design, taken from Camry. This is only an external “theft”; inside, the features of a Toyota Corolla immediately appear. "Double Strike" always works! If you get out of the Corolla and sit in the F3, you won’t immediately understand the difference. This impression is created by identical visors on the front panel. Moreover, the radio is located in the middle of the dashboard, just like in the Corolla. Then marketing comes into play.

As for herself, the Chinese “Japanese” introduces herself:

• Budget car, ripped off from business class;
• A sedan that emphasizes the origin of this comrade;
• Minimal but modern set of options;
• Affordability;
• High-quality materials;
• Confidence in choice.

What does BYD F3 consist of?

Technical characteristics of BYD F3

The decent appearance, generous equipment and reasonable price of the BYD F3 sedan and hatchback attract the attention of ordinary domestic car enthusiasts. But they (that is, us) are still scared off by only one nuance - traditionally low quality operation and difficulties with replacing spare parts for Chinese-made cars.

The Chinese automaker BYD is developing at a rapid pace even by eastern national standards. With such a rapid commercial success, the technical side of the issue is solved simply - they take “ready-made Japanese Toyota” cars, disassemble them down to the screws, carefully copy all the parts, change the optics a little, use cheaper materials, all of this is assembled “as best we can”, and hang its own nameplate ( The logo design is pre-drawn with BMW in mind). That's it - the new product is ready.

Local buyers are attracted by the price, which in China is several times less than their Japanese counterparts. And such a trifle as problems with the quality of parts and assembly does not frighten the Chinese mass consumer. Perhaps in China things are different with the organization maintenance, availability and price original parts, but so far this issue has not always been resolved well by our representatives and dealers.

As you probably already guessed, the technical and design donor for the BYD F3 sedan was Toyota model Corolla Altis, the main differences from which are in the design of the lighting equipment. The BYD F3R hatchback, in turn, is built on the basis of a sedan.

The interior design of the sedan and hatchback is taken almost entirely from the Corolla, not excluding the optitron instrument cluster. The only Chinese amendment is for the anthropological size of passengers; the organization of the driver's seat is a bit cramped for a large person.

The sedan body dimensions are 4533 mm in length, 1490 mm in height and 1705 mm in width. Ground clearance- 17 mm, curb weight - 1207 kg, exact data on the size of the trunk could not be found (according to reviews, it is approximately 300 liters).

The BYD F3 and F3R models are equipped with an engine produced under license from Mitsubishi - a 1.5-liter with 99 hp. With.
The engine requires a consumption of 7-9 liters of fuel depending on the mode, allows you to accelerate to 180 km/h and picks up speed to 100 km/h in 12.3 seconds.
The BYD F3 is equipped with only a manual (5-speed) gearbox.

Both body options have front wheel drive, McPherson front suspension and transverse beam on spring elements at the rear, front and rear disc brakes, 15-inch wheels.

The steering does not please with its information content, the gearbox does not please with the clarity of the gears, to accelerate, you must constantly turn the engine to maximum speed.
The chassis adequately copes with minor unevenness of the road surface, but at high speeds there are problems with handling and clear signs of poor sound insulation of the cabin.
Disc brakes do their job well. In general, we can say with confidence that these models are more suitable for measured city driving than for “racing” on intercity highways, and are not at all intended for even mild off-road use.

In 2010, the BYD F3 car is offered on the Russian market in three trim levels (for each body type), the simplest of which is G-i (375,000 rubles) contains velor interior trim, air conditioning, power steering, electric windows and mirrors, ABS with EBD, central locking The most expensive BYD F3 GLX-i has front airbags, a sunroof, leather interior and automatic air conditioning (according to the manufacturer, it is announced as climate control) - from 420 thousand rubles. The GL-i Standard package includes a leather interior, airbags and air conditioning, but lacks a sunroof and climate control; the price for it starts from 415,000 rubles.
The price of the BYD F3R hatchback is from 349,000 rubles. Since one pricing policy BYD in Russia, apparently, does not, prices from different dealers can vary significantly.
