On July 21, BYD revealed that it launched its BYD M6 pure electric MPV at the GAIKINDO Indonesia International Auto Show (GIIAS), making it BYD’s first MPV model launched in the Indonesian market and also the first pure electric MPV in the Indonesian market. Consumers can choose from three trims with a price range of 379,000,000 – 429,000,000 RP (23,400 – 26,500 USD), namely, Standard 7 Seater, Superior 7 Seater, and Superior Captain 6 Seater.
The BYD M6 is powered by 55.4 kWh and 71.8 kWh BYD Blade batteries as standard, with two NEDC ranges of 420 km and 530 km, respectively. Under fast charging with 115 kW power, the battery can be replenished from 10% to 80% in 40 minutes. Furthermore, the entry-level trim is equipped with an electric motor with a maximum power of 163 hp and a peak torque of 310 Nm. The high-end Superior trims have an electric motor that outputs 204 hp and has a 0 – 100 km/h acceleration time of 10.1 seconds and 8.6 seconds, respectively.

Since 2010, the BYD e6 has been focusing on the taxi market. For the exterior, the BYD M6’s front face adopts a large closed area integrated with slender headlights connected by a chrome strip embedded with the BYD logo in the center.
Earlier, the BYD M6 right-hand drive version was spied on Chinese streets uncamouflaged.
