2010 BYD E6 Electric Crossover

BYD announced at the Detroit Auto Show in January 2010 the ambitious automaker announced that the BYD E6 electric crossover production schedule was on track and that U.S. deliveries would get underway by the end of the year. But unfortunately, the plan was postponed to American buyers.

Even though the E6 has been delayed, there appears to be some indication that the automaker could launch the electric crossover in the U.S. in 2011. The holdup was caused by BYD's efforts to make the car roomier, especially its rear-seat area that was cramped thanks to a beefy battery pack that needs to be stored under the seat.

Hope the dream will be realized or until 2011 for the fans of E6. Furthermore, Li declared that private buyers interested in the E6 will get a crack at owning one in 2012. We're not going to take bets that BYD's plans won't get derailed again.
