Car Profiles - BYD S6

BYD S6

Essentially a Lexus RX lookalike using a Mitsubishi engine (for the 2.4, at least), the S6 is the brand's most expensive offering locally. The GS-i can be had for less than a million bucks, a bargain. It is packed with gadgetry for the price, but it has a long way to go.

The Good: Amenities for the price

The Bad: Untested reputation
