Coincidence? BYD F0 and Toyota Aygo, BYD F3 and Toyota Corolla E120 and the BYD F6 and Toyota Camry XC30. The interiors are very, very similar, as are the doors on all these models. No mystery which cars BYD is stripping down. They won’t sell anywhere if Toyota chooses to get an injunction out. Justin, even the door shapes look just like a Toyota Camry XV30’s.

As for the engine, the F6 2.0l BYD483QB gasoline engine comes with a BIVT variable intake system engine, self-developed by BYD. F6 has a 5-gear manual transmission; The F6 2.4 (2.4l) uses the BYD 4G69 engine (MIVEC technology designed by Mitsubishi) and a tiptronic transmission shift originally imported from Japan. I shall have test drive next Sunday, the F6 is besides the FAW Besturn an alternative to Chery's Eaststar in the Chinese C2 segment.
