Every car is an argument about what matters, and the BYD M3 DM makes its case with 1.5 L BYD476ZQA Straight-4 and 118 kW. Byd built from 2014 — as electrification stopped being an experiment and the crossover took every market.
The story
The BYD M3, also marketed as the BYD ETP3 in Europe and BYD T3 is a 5-door van designed and produced by the Chinese automaker BYD Auto since 2014.
What is underneath
Power comes from 1.5 L BYD476ZQA Straight-4; 118 kW is the published figure; other versions carried different engines, listed in the specification table below. It shifts through a CVT / Fixed-ratio (EV). The wheelbase is 2725 mm. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
Its place in the line
Its family tree is legible: assembly was at China. Its contemporaries in the catalogue — the Lexus RC, the Lexus NX, the Subaru Levorg — show what else the money bought that year. Nearby in the Byd catalogue sit the BYD 8TT and the BYD Atto 2.
