The BYD L3 (or BYD F5 and BYD New F3 in Latin America) is a compact car manufactured by BYD Co., Ltd., a Chinese automobile manufacturer based in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province.

Like the G3, BYD L3 is similar to the Toyota Corolla E120. A torsion beam is used as the rear suspension, MacPherson struts are installed in front, and the brakes on all wheels are disc.

Overview

The BYD L3 is essentially an evolution of the BYD F3. The BYD L3 is also commercialized in Chile,1 Uruguay2 and other Latin America countries with the name of New F3.

Engine choices are a 1.5 or 1.8 litre engine with a 5 speed manual and 6 speed dual clutch available on the 1.5 models while the 1.8 models are paired with a CVT gearbox.

The BYD L3 in foreign markets received a facelift from 2016. The facelift was in fact the updated F3 in China.3
