Since it showed up at GIIAS 2024, one car became the center of attention. Everyone started talking about this clean-energy vehicle with a classy but simple look. That car is the BYD M6, an electric MPV that’s winning hearts in Indonesia.
After trying it for a few days, it felt like having a new friend who knows how to treat people well. It’s not just the good-looking design, but also the comfort that stands out right from the moment you get in. It’s easy to see why many people want this as their family car.
BYD M6, Simple But Bold Look on the Outside
From the outside, M6 does not try to be flashy like some of its brothers. The design is simple, modern, and smooth. There’s the “dragon face” style on the front, with full LED lights and cool daytime running lights.
The size fits well for a family car. It’s 4,710 mm long, 1,810 mm wide, and 1,690 mm tall, with 170 mm ground clearance. These numbers mean it’s good for both city and rougher roads.
BYD M6 feels just right for people who want a big car that’s still easy to handle. It’s not hard to park, and it fits tight streets. The simple design actually helps a lot in daily use.
Big Inside Space
Once the door opens, the first thing you notice is how roomy it is. There’s plenty of headroom and leg space in every row, even the third one. People sitting in the back won’t feel tight, even on long drives.
The big glass roof makes things feel even better. It lets in light and gives a nice view of the sky. The cabin feels bright and open because of it.
In the middle, there’s a 12.8-inch touchscreen for all the features. Next to it, there’s a 5-inch display for car info. If you choose the captain seat version, the second row feels like a mini lounge. The seats also work well with child safety seats.
Safety Features
The car has ABS brakes, traction control, and hill hold control. These systems work together to help keep the car safe on any road. There’s also a warning system that helps the driver avoid accidents.
If something bad happens, six airbags are there to protect everyone. Front, side, and even the back seats have airbag protection. These features make the BYD M6 ready for both short and long trips.
Fun to Drive with Good Performance
According to idntimes.com, this car comes in three different versions: the Standard 7-seater, Superior 7-seater, and Superior Captain 6-seater. The price is still fair for what you get, with prices starting from Rp383 million up to Rp433 million.
The car gives strong power right away, which is normal for electric cars. The electric motor gives 201 hp and 310 Nm torque. The top speed can reach 180 km/h, which is fast for an MPV.
The battery is BYD’s Blade Battery, with 71.8 kWh. On a full charge, you can drive up to 530 kilometers. Charging more than 50% at a public charger only takes 24 minutes. That’s fast and convenient.
The steering feels light and easy to control. Even though it’s a big car, BYD M6 drives smoothly. You can adjust the mirrors using the screen, but you still get manual buttons to fold them./Latif
