15:09 Outro - Thanks for watching!
One of the best and honest reviews I've seen - great explanation of rear window design too so thank you!
Thank you for the support!
I'm glad that the only dislikes you found are really not that important and just details ! Means the car is so good that these tiny things actually become slightly noticable
Thanks. Hard to complain about this car. Most of the things work quite well
He may have just skipped the big issues. There are reports that this car cannot maintain long-term consistent highway speed of 120+ kmh (75+ mph) once the battery gets drained. Kinda makes sense - it only has an 1.5L ICE engine and a heavy battery to lug. And if you happen to climb some incline in the middle of a lengthy road trip, you are probably literally screwed. But hey "Dislike 1" in this video is a phone call system 😀
@@akh345 Yeah, that's clearly not an issue most people will experience. The system reserves its battery level at around 20 to 25%. You always have some charge left to get enough power. Do you mean a long-term consistent highway speed? It actually uses more fuel and charges the battery more in that situation. You also mentioned climbing some inclines in the middle of a lengthy road trip, any hybrid battery will struggle to maintain its peak performance but it doesn't necessarily mean "you are screwed".
@@JerryPanandCars I link the detailed discussion of that problem below. Please note that it is a 1.5L ICE car weighing 2,000+ kg empty that relies on a pre-charged battery to produce the extra power required to propel such a sizeable vehicle. On a long road trip at 120+ kmh, you will be using up the battery since the ICE alone can't produce enough net power to maintain such speeds on a vehicle of that size. The battery level drops to your pre-set cutoff level (whatever level you like - 15%, 25%, 50%, 75%) and you are left on ICE and can no longer maintain the steady fast highway speeds.
Basically, there is a reason why RAV4 prime/Outlander PHEV use 2.4L+ ICE engines instead of 1.5L. Here is a more detailed discussion of that issue: (Seems youtube is blocking links to reddit - please look up "Song Plus Performance")

Another awesome informative review Jerry. Loving our BYD Sealion 6 Dynamic.
best review so far.
Great honest review thankyou
Thanks for the support :D
Very good review
Great video bro.
Thanks for the support!
Honest real life review, thanks. Does the rear camera can be function as rear dash cam? If not, is there any dedicated space for it (and the wire)? Also, any hint when dmi 5th coming to AU or NZ? Sorry for asking many questions 😅
Thanks for the support.
No rear dash cam built-in and not sure about dedicated space for it.
DMi 5th gen? Maybe late 2025? At least I hope so :D
Great video, how much does replacing the battery for this car cost when the batter is due for replacement?
@@sanipgurung3056 not cheap but also not something you need to worry about. The battery can outlast the engine and the engine isn’t awfully built either.
@@JerryPanandCars How long does it take to fully charge the battery using the home charger?
@@JerryPanandCars looks like the white/blue interior is in high demand , wait time till next year.
Nice review
Thank you
Nice review ! I don't have an electric vehicle charging system at home, so I'll probably charge the battery occasionally and mostly drive in hybrid mode. Do you think this car has an appeal that surpasses Toyota's RAV4 Hybrid when it comes to ride comfort and overall build quality?
Ride comfort and build quality - better than Rav4. Handling not as good as the Rav4. Thanks
Good informative video mate! Is there a built-in dashcam function available for this?
Thanks.
I don't think this has built-in dashcam.
From watching a few other reviews, I have seen that they are not sold with the built in dashcam in Australia, however the wiring is still there and you can buy the aftermarket camera and install yourself. When you reboot the car it’ll update to include the camera
Or you can ask BYD to install for you and pay for a fee.
Hi there, great video, can you tell me if the heating and cooling are electric or work from the engine. Is there a feature to heat or cool the car from outside the car. Cheers.
Thanks for the support.
The EV motor(s) can power the heating and cooling under my testing.
You can pre-conditioning the cabin in the BYD mobile App.
Great video 👍👍
Are BYD batteries safe? I wanted to buy this car but when I saw BYD cars burning on youtube i changed my mind.
Very safe considering there are more than hundreds of thousands of this car is on the road already.
The batteries are safe.. but I do wonder about crash testing. Just general crash safety.
Great review
Thank you!
@@JerryPanandCars How do you adjust Head light as i find low beam to low
in order to use hybrid, whats the maximum speed we can go?
I'm not sure
Do you know if it has built in video recording / dashcam feature?
@@LightningSe7en no
Well for the long term usage of that car what you think does the engine or ev will make any problem? And could you tell what your trust opinion about its hybrid type does it useful ? Thank you
Can't say it myself but this Sealion 6 DMi system is already the 4th DMi generation from BYD. It has proven itself in the biggest market on the planet. Safe to say it is good.
@@JerryPanandCars Is it supposed to be 5th gen in China?
Yes in the Chinese market but the overseas market is 4th gen at the moment
@@JerryPanandCars I see, thanks for the information. May I know efficiency diff between 4th and 5th gen?
What bothers me is that it can only be filled with 95 fuel, which is expensive
The price difference is negligable now that petrol is more expensive.
Good point. I have noticed many new releases also requires 95 like the new Suzuki Swift, MG3 Hybrid and more. Not sure if it is a good thing or bad.
Unless you do a lot of long distance driving it should not bother you to much
@@Karl-Benny My daily routine from home to work is ~100km with 65% highway and 35% city driving
When this car will come to malaysia?
Ask local BYD :D
Im thinking of this car, my daily commute is 115kms to and from work, would this car suit me? Thanks
Yes, but do remeber that you will use a bit petrol after the full EV. It is still super efficient though.
Another dislike - no driver profiles. You need to keep on manually adjusting the seats and mirrors if you have different drivers.
Thanks for sharing. Yes, it will be great to have that available.
I thought he keeps on saying, "That's smut."
I really don't like the DM-i system the engine way to much noise, the Li Auto and Huawei ER system, with the 1.5L petrol generator way better, no engine sound, can not hear or feel when the gas engine cut in, still get about 1200 km range
@@ottowillumnielsen9083 Li Auto and Huawei system cost way too more than this though. It’s not a fair comparison.
my Tesla does eveyting you just said and more including full self driving. and its made US brand not china, not sure about Chinese cars but everything else breakdown after first or second use.
@@Norazafar ok 🙄
@norazafar..does your tesla has petrol engine ?😂
The seats are horrible , they should let u choose the colour seating
There are two seat colours to choose from.
