New BYD e6 MPV set for UK launch with 258-mile range

BYD has quietly added a new electric MPV to its UK line-up, which looks to tempt taxi drivers with more than 250 miles of range and a capacious cabin. Autocar has found official UK specifications for the second-generation e6, a five-seat MPV based on the Chinese-market Song Max. Although BYD refused to give more details, a launch here is expected to be imminent.

At 4695mm long, with a wheelbase of 2800mm, the e6 is slightly larger than Stellantis's small-van-based MPVs but smaller than the likes of the Volkswagen ID Buzz and Lexus LM. Equipped with a chunky 71.7Wh battery, it's capable of a competitive 258 miles per charge on the WLTP test cycle. However, it has a maximum charging speed of just 60kW so needs 90 minutes to get from 0-80% on a Type 2 fast charger. A single motor on the front axle makes 94bhp, taking the e6 from 0-62mph in 18.0sec.
