History of the BYD / BIA brand

Founded in 1995, the Chinese corporation BYD Company Ltd began its activities with production batteries for mobile phones. In 2003, BYD acquired the automobile enterprise Sichuan Auto Co. Ltd, which found itself in a difficult situation after its bankruptcy. This decision made it possible for the corporation to develop a new type of activity, and in the same year the automobile company BYD Auto, a subsidiary of BYD Company Ltd, was founded. Backed by the large financial capital of the parent company BYD, and relying on the technical achievements of the acquired company Sichuan Auto, the BYD Auto brand occupies one of the leading positions in China. Over the course of several years, the company managed to sell more than 700 thousand cars of the BYD F3 family around the world. In addition, the company produced an E-Vehicle model with an electric drive and a Hybrids-Vehicle, which, in addition to a conventional internal combustion engine, also had an additional electric motor.

In 2004, BYD Auto founded a research center in which laboratories were created to conduct research on the strength of car bodies under impact loads, laboratories to improve chassis characteristics and areas for various road tests. The newly created enterprise BYD Mold Company Ltd. is a branch of the company and is located in Beijing. This company produces car roofs using the molding method; its production area is about 270 thousand square meters. The production of roofs is based on the CAD/CAE/CAM system - design, technology and production are carried out using latest achievements computer equipment. BYD Auto Co., a subsidiary, is located in Xi'an. Ltd, which produces cars under the Flyer and F3 brands. Its production area is about 1 million square meters. BYD Auto imports conveyor lines from European countries and from Japan.

In 2009, the famous billionaire Warren Buffett became one of the key shareholders of BYD, who invested $232 million in the concern and acquired a 10% stake. A year later, the German company Daimler AG invests in the development of new BYD electric vehicles, creating a joint venture. In 2011, BYD became an official partner of the Universiade, which was held in Shenzhen. Currently, BYD Auto is a cutting-edge automobile enterprise that focuses on clean and environmentally efficient energy sources. BYD Auto's activities are aimed at creating high-quality equipment that is innovative, modern and safe for the ecosystem. BYD (Build Your Dreams) translated from English language as "Make your dreams come true."

The name translates as “Build Your Dream” - “We make dreams come true.” The situation really looks like a dream. Having started with the production of rechargeable batteries for mobile phones, the company quite quickly captured the main positions in this sector, taking 2nd place in the world in terms of production size. The company took its first step in the auto business in 2003, when it bought a Sichuan auto manufacturing company and built on its basis a plant for the production of small cars. The BYD Flyer model has suddenly become a leader among the famous ones in China, thanks primarily to its easily accessible cost and uncomplicated, although only correct, system.

Focusing on the success of Model 1, the company began preparing for the “Great Leap Forward.” The great changes at BID started with a change in management. Having completely changed management in 2005, BYD Auto rushed to a global entry into the car market. A little more than a year later, the company came up with and prepared for production the BYD F3 sedan - a progressive car, in terms of quality and equipment, not lagging behind its analogues in Europe and Japan. The release of the F3 caused a furor on the market - in less than a year, more than 55,000 cars of this model hit the Chinese roads, in fact, it increased the overall sales volume of BID Auto by an unprecedented 450% - a wonderful sign, including for the actively growing Chinese market. Consequently, BYD Auto has captured the title of the fastest-growing company among private car manufacturers in China.

The company's "battery" past can help it in the auto business. Thanks to its strong research and development base, the company has become a leader in the research and production of “clean” electric cars. At the 2006 Beijing International Automobile Salon, the company showed its own electric car BYD F3 Electric, which became a real sensation at the exhibition. Another clear premiere of the car show was the first coupe-convertible in China with a strict folding roof BYD F8.

Now there are 2 BID models on the Russian market: the A-class Flyer hatchback, which firmly holds the title of “The most easily accessible foreign car in the Russian Federation” and the hit of the Chinese market BYD F3.

The first model is a five-door passenger car with a 1.1-liter engine, which consumes only 5 liters of fuel per 100 km.

The F3 belongs to the "C" category and still remains among the top five best-selling cars in the Chinese market. The heart is a 1.6-liter Mitsubishi engine with a capacity of 100 horses, which works with a five-speed manual transmission. Average consumption is 7.5 liters per 100 km.

The development of the eastern car market today involves not only Japanese and Korean offers. Chinese cars have become no less interesting in their parameters and design solutions. The BYD company stands out among its compatriots, which recently made a second attempt to enter the Russian market. Today, BYD cars are presented in a limited assortment, but soon the company promises to supply amazing new products to Russia that will bring undoubted pleasure to every buyer.

Buyers of BID brand cars are pleased with the car's characteristics, endurance and efficiency. If you compare the BYD test with the analysis of other cars, you can identify several common positive characteristics. Particularly impressive are the reviews of new proposals and developments of the corporation, which declare their leadership ambitions in the Chinese car market. Among them there are electric cars, cars with incredibly technologically advanced power units, and successful licensed copies of Japanese cars.

F3 – sedan and hatchback with standard features

For lovers of standard cars without fancy design features, but with fairly high quality, the BID company has offered a regular car option - the BYD F3R hatchback and the regular F3 sedan.

Today's BID Corporation lineup offers the F3 as the most thoughtful and practical vehicle. A personal test drive of the car in an official showroom will certainly show a number of advantages and prove that the reviews about this car were telling the complete truth. And the price of the model starts at 400 thousand rubles.

S8 - a little-known convertible with the appearance of a Mercedes

One of the early developments of the BID Corporation is a convertible, which is called BYD S8. The high visual price of this car is realized by copying the corporate appearance of Mercedes roadsters. In Russia, the car was sold for a short period of time, but reviews about it speak of the following serious advantages:

• a superficial review of the BYD S8 does not inspire much confidence, but a detailed acquaintance shows all the delights of the car;

• There are no Chinese technical features here - the engine has 138 horses and spins very well;

• there are no questions about the technical characteristics of the convertible, all the filling is proprietary BYD;

Reviews about this model inspire complete confidence in the manufacturer, and some videos praise the car so much that it is difficult to refuse a personal test drive. Few Chinese cars impress Russian buyers so much.

Indeed, the BID S6 today is the pearl of the company’s lineup, because for a very modest price of 650 thousand rubles, the car offers luxurious design from Lexus. Inside, you can also sit perfectly in the driver's or passenger's seat and get a lot of space, a pleasant aesthetic appearance and other important advantages. After a test drive of this crossover, it will be very difficult to refuse the purchase.

A family car with incredible performance and attractive design, it is a good car for a large family. Long trips will only bring pleasure, and city travel will become more comfortable and leisurely. BYD M6 is a good Chinese offering that can completely change your perception of modern technology. The main features that you will definitely feel during a test drive of this car are:

• both engines, 2 and 2.4 liters, behave perfectly, delivering 138 and 162 horses, respectively;

• BID developments in terms of suspension are very pleasing and provide many interesting maneuvering possibilities;

• safety has been worked out in the tradition of a good family car, there is very little Chinese negligence here;

• Good handling and vehicle stabilization system help you navigate well in different road conditions.

We can safely say that the BID model range has not yet offered a more successful car for family use. The Chinese corporation's offer includes a lot of successful solutions that pleasantly surprise with their relevance for modern operating conditions. The price of the M2 minivan ranges from 500 thousand on the secondary market and from 650 thousand rubles in showrooms.

Let's sum it up

The lineup of the Chinese corporation BYD is very impressive. Among the most attractive cars there are cars for youth use, there are offers for family and commercial use. The reliability of the car is already felt at the test drive stage; there is no doubt that this vehicle can be completely trusted.

It must also be said that the Chinese industry continues to develop and is already providing good competition to car manufacturers from Germany and Japan. The leadership of these countries in the production of automotive equipment is now controversial, and the Middle Kingdom is catching up with its main competitors in the best-selling niches.
