BYD King — frequently asked
How far can the BYD King go on electric alone?
120 km (Electric Range). Plenty for most daily Kingston commutes without burning fuel. Beyond that the petrol engine takes over.
How much total power does the BYD King have?
160 kW (Combined Power) — the engine and electric motor working together. That matters for steep grades and loaded highway driving.
Do I need to plug the BYD King in?
No — the BYD King works as a regular hybrid even without plugging it in. But charging at home cuts combined fuel use to about 2.9 L/100km on the WLTP cycle, which is meaningfully cheaper to run than a comparable petrol-only SUV in Jamaica.
Where can I service the BYD King in Jamaica?
We service every vehicle we sell at our 259 Spanish Town Road dealership in Kingston. We stock genuine MAXUS, BYD, GWM and Changan parts on-site, and our technicians are trained on each model line.
