BYD L3 Engines and Transmissions

This generation’s BYD L3 engine range is gasoline-only, with a front-wheel-drive drivetrain. You can take a 1.5 MT or 1.8 MT with a manual gearbox, or the 1.8 CVT, which uses a variable transmission for smoother, clutch-free commuting. These named versions are examples, not every powertrain pairing.
