BYD Auto has released a new iteration of its F3 sedan, one of the best-selling compacts in China, on to its home market. Called the F3 Su Rui, prices begin from a meagre 65,900RMB (RM32,300) for the basic 109 hp naturally aspirated 1.5 litre variant.
But it’s the range-topper that intrigues us most, for it features remote driving – without actually being in the car, one can drive it from a distance of up to 10 metres away, enabling things like parking in super tight spaces and getting it to pick you up on your doorstep on a rainy day. Before you entertain ideas of silly stunts in a deserted car park, we have to tell you that top speed is limited to 2 km/h in remote-controlled mode. Take a gander at the rather cheery commercial below:
For only a shade under 100,000RMB (RM49,000) you also get a six-speed dual-clutch gearbox and a 154 hp turbocharged 1.5 litre direct-injected powerplant (allowing a century sprint time of under nine seconds), in addition to features such as a digital dashboard with trip computer, a comprehensive infotainment system with 4.3-inch LCD screen (including internet and GPS), tyre pressure monitoring system, ABS, traction control and more – to say we’re impressed is an understatement.
To create the Su Rui, BYD made the F3 150 mm longer and 60 mm wider so overall length, width and height are respectively 4680, 1765 and 2660 mm, pitting it against Emgrand’s EC7 and Baojun’s 630. A four-year, 100,000 km warranty is offered on the new drivetrain.
