Why are the prices for byd in nz over 50k. They only cost 15k in China. Boycott all western dealers.
what a low quality video
95 gasoline Is a killer.i'm out!
Awesome🎉🎉🎉
what are you cheeking out?
Went for a test drive, almost perfect except for the drive, too dizzying, really bad suspension system.
Nice one.
❤
They can't spell shark correctly on the licence plate
Looks like Ford f150 lighting
yeah we have two HS +EV Essence models... I used to run Limos, know my thing.... I LOVE THIS CAR!
youd have to be an idiot to buy a car that is just an joke-- with a resale less that 20%,, desperate ill informed clowns buy evs
was the bodywork as solid as the legacy brands or a lighter guage?
Hi. Bodywork felt solid and well honed.
3t
fun fact:in china,all pickup trucks are only allowed to be driven for 15 years😂
in China, almost the lower Euro standards cars could not even be registered and have their life spans. What do you laugh about? 😅
When into BYD today , great car the interior is amazing only con is the trunk is quite small, if you have a 30kg plus dog it will not fit in the trunk without the back sits put flat
Great review. I understand the car doesn't offer adjustable lumbar. How did you find the support for the lower back ?
I thought the seat had enough support. I wasn't doing say 8 hours of non stop driving to test it out. But I have a bit of a dodgy back and it felt well supported.
Lumbar support is quite good, do need to adjust the seat to find the sweet spot. No pain after 320km day trip
The chinese province of taiwan is a nice place to visit
I have a 2023 rav4 hybrid. It's One of the best cars. But I feel the steering is too light and the front cup holders are too small does anyone feel that?
Thanks for the video
What about real axle break downs? Is it real or rumor?
Hi. Sorry I haven’t read anything about that.
Are the privacy glasses UV tinted?
I couldn't find an answer oin that sorry,. Looked at owner's manual and on some other reviews
Usually all automotive glass was UV protected, in any modern car I thought?
@@bigb252 slightly, but not enough
Record in landscape mode.... Jesus...
It was. This is a shorts. 3 dots for “…”
Buying BYD finances the CCP.
Sounds great. They support their people more than we do here.
Wait for Gen 5 DM engine ~ 2000km range. Front not the best looking. Premium drives well, very quiet. Resale value who knows…
The 2000km range is under ideal conditions and relatively low speeds. 1400km is probably closer to reality, as tested using highway speeds with aircon on etc. Cars getting this are sedans which are more aero dynamic and lighter than the sealion 6
我有一辆比亚迪海豚🐬
Thanks, well covered. I still reckon they are barking up the wrong tree. Price. They need to focus on cars half the price.
There's the Dolphin, and probably soon the Seagull at much cheaper price points. But I think it makes sense to start with some relatively premium models.
@@jonpaxman Even the Dolphin is $40k - for this size car the price should be closer to $20k. I don't know whats wrong with them, they are completely missing the "affordable" aspect. Too much focus on "trinkets"? In a country where the charging infrastructure is not developed, fast chargers that do exist gouge you, you would think that is a strong signal to deliver more affordable EV's otherwise people will stick with ICE or Hybrids.
They’re super cheap in China, but I’m guessing the Aussie government doesn’t want to kill Tesla right away
@@BenMitro they will always be somewhat more expensive than ICE cars, just because batteries are expensive. You have to remember you'll save $3k or more per year in running costs. Most people who are that budget conscious will bit second hand, and as we keep getting told, second hand EVs are pretty good value.
@@jonpaxman Its an argument the industry continues to promote and I don't buy it - firstly you have no ICE and transmission, emission controls, etc. etc. etc.. Second manufacturers pretend that current battery technology will replace the fuel tank - in larger vehicles it can't. Most EV's have far too big a battery - it needs to be around 20 - 30kWh, so a/ fast chargers can charge them in minutes and b/ you can charge them at a power-point overnight. Finally 20-30kWh only provides for vehicles at the small end of the market - there are very few EV's that aim for that segment. One has to design things that are fit for purpose. When you don't, costs go through the roof.
Got the dynamic in stone grey, allergic to turbo's (blame VW for that). Plus has greater range and goes as fast as I need to go. Comfy drive 😄 very efficient. All EV driving during the week.
Great. Those are good points for getting the Dynamic.
Would the Sealion 6 tempt you away from an alternative hybrid SUV?
Here on the other side of the ditch there are significant tax savings if you get a PHEV which Plugless hybrids do not get. Competing PhEv are generally significantly more expensive. How is the situation in NZ
You should think about how it will be able to move when the battery runs out, it is a 1.5 turbo
By design, BYD system will never run out of battery. Engine will recharge battery at certain battery level.
@@robbrand922 that's not true, if you demand performance you'll run out if battery
@@joseluisortsagullo3008 no the car's program won't allow 100% draining of battery
😊😊😊😊add a sunroof n its huuuum
Hope it comes to Thailand. I will buy one after the second or third version.
Obviously, looks exactly like a Nissan pick up truck. They must have sold that design.
It's Chinese they copy everything by espionage and just stealing technology. Why support this country
Because they don't start wars
@@reginald7214 they just bankrupt countries and take by force. And of course Taiwan is going to be destroyed. But I guess it's a great country
shhark?
Hilux all the way,proven tough..
90kms for the electric engine isn't bad at all. Only problem is, these cars will likely cost twice or three times as much due to tariffs against China.
What tariffs? there are no tariffs. 🤣🤣🤣
Due to the RUC on plug in hybrids now i'd be leaning towards the more traditional petrol hybrid drive trains instead of this. Although the claimed 1000km (more like 800km real world) is enticing.
My only problem is the display, I like the odometer to be both mechanical and digital. But it's a beautiful car
I don’t get why hybrids get lumped in with EV. They are just an ICE with a small battery and some regen. Not an EV.
但它最终还是电动机驱动,发动机只是提供电力。
可混动也可以纯电啊😂为了省钱在市区尽量纯电驾驶
For people who only drive 100 kilometers a day, this is just an electric car.
@@Panda-ii7vr But you still have to buy/carry and maintain an ICE engine at all its support.
OMG those 3 letters at the front and back look awful.
Burn Your Driveway = BYD. Some say 🤷🏼♂️🙀🔥
Then get a ford. Simple
Be your daddy
太棒了,阿MAW
Extra batteries start at about 249.99 USD I got a stihl electric blower for free and still don’t use it because the battery and charger are twice what the blower cost.
That handle design looks terrible. How does it side hill? Rofl😅
Just wonder if there a camping mode? can I sleep in car turning the heating on just using battery ? thanks in advance. The 2 highest cost of doing the big lap around Australia is fuel and accomodation cost, I am hoping this car can resolve both. thanks
I’ll do some research and try to find out
有的,BYD自主創新的串並聯式DM混動(PHEV),是電平台混動,簡單來說就是沒有續航焦慮的純電車(EV),擁有純電車(EV)的一切功能,包括外部快充電和放電功能,外出野營使用電器沒有問題,電池沒電了DM混動還可以原地發動機發電的。 可以這麼說,電平台的PHEV超越傳統汽油平台的HEV一個時代。是現在混動汽車技術的天花板,在中國銷量超級棒👍🏻。
@@user-fc9yd5bv3nvery informative.
Looks like something from Toys r Us
They look like really expensive fisher price toys.
I moved from a model 3 as a daily driver to the bmw i4. I never looked back.
Not too much difference with ranger and hilex which have been exploring the market tens years. I think this is the first generation truck of Byd. May be not that reliable same as ranger and hilex at beginning. I have more expectation to third generation with more technology iterations. For example dmi tech may interest customers.
the tech in this car is way better than ranger & hilex, check the power system
Lol who would pay 55k for Chinese garbage?
You live in stone age or your mind is poisoned.
Europeans, Mexicans. Brazilians, and Russians, if Chinese cars were crap then they wouldn't continue to sell in those countries, after all, they sell for twice as much in those countries as they do in China itself, which means that it's the middle class and wealthy families that buy Chinese cars, and lastly I don't think you have $100,000 in savings... Buying a Chinese car is very difficult, your 20 year old car is a good match for you
你就是垃圾,
Australia NZ still buying, garbage to some but 30% people are considering buy if right spec
China makes more cars every year than the next 5 countries combined. Sure, they make some crap but they still probably make more good cars than anybody else makes cars total.
