Re: Byd F0 (former F1)

very noisy, but dashboard good
Car on previous pictures is obviously not BYD F0 but rather vehicle developed by students of the Tongyi University based on it.

Recently, a site of "BYD F0 facelift spy photos" of mine who is, of course. In the sound of an alarm that many discerning eye spray helpless laughter. This obviously is the manufacturer of another cottage, but already wrongly tagged into a small egg BYD facelift.
So in the end what this car is a car? Yes, this is back in the 2007 Shanghai Auto Show when the launch of Shanghai Tongji University, one of two concept cars Fernand Leger.
How kind, is now being considered to understand the so-called F0 change how the matter of the bar section. Here I must mention, Tongji design company with the Czech Republic. Numerous car in close cooperation with enterprises. Tongji University has designed a series of the same level models are very similar to each other. This is the domestic level a number of fans familiar with the Italian Pininfarina automobile design platform, the film is very similar to many of the "domestic XX God car" practice.
Tongji University on a number of auto manufacturers and domestic topic of a lot of very mixed model design, where the first left a preamble. Gradually after the bar to talk about. But added that words really need to say. No cottage, only the cottage is more than the cottage.

Re: Byd F0 (former F1)

The green car shown on the last photo is the TJ Innova Lesuccess, a concept exhibited at the Shanghai Auto Show 2007.
TJ innova is an important Chinese design studio which designed all the clones for BYD. The Lesuccess is completely different from the Aygo-copy shown above, except for the front end. Note that there are at least three cars, a design studio doesn't make three concepts of the same car.
Three possibilities:
1. yes, it is an update of the BYD F0
2. it is the expected Aygo-copy of Lifan (Lifan 120??), also designed by TJ Innova. (TJ Innova also designed the Lifan 520).
3. its is an Aygo copy of a yet unknown other Chinese manufacturer (that would be copy number 6!)
Happy Newyear!
Re: Byd F0 (former F1)

@ erik: Copy number 6? The BYD F0, Geely Panda, Lifan "520", which are the other three? Are the Jianghuai YueYue (or whatever it's called) and ChangAn BenBen Mini also copies of the Toyota Aygo/Citroën C1/Peugeot 107? Especially the ChangAn differs in a lot of ways from the outside from the outside.
Re: Byd F0 (former F1)

Hello Rosmalen, last week I spend some days in Eindhoven!
OK, serious now: 5 cars using "the Aygo platform and body technology" is a better way to say it. These five cars are: BYD F0, Lifan (120?, still to come), Chang'an Benben Mini, Geely (Gleagle) Xiongmao (Panda), JAC (Jianghuai) Yueyue.
Greetings!

Re: Byd F0 (former F1)

Other question, what do you think of the logo on the steering wheel? Never seen such logo before.
BYD7001BEV electric car

NDRC approved a small EV based on the F0. It will have a new name (possibly Q1 but then BYD has a truck called Q1). Powered by a 45 kW motor.

Re: Byd F0

Maybe improving the 10 year old styling that was copycatted off an even older PSA design should have been warranted first...
Let's see if BYD is at all serious about this one. They have no dearth of EVs in their lineup and their recent designs (Dragon face) are well-acclaimed. Of course, if they want to compete with the two most popular electric cars in this segment (EC series and iEV6E), they will have to up their game.
