Australia customers are so lucky - there is neither 100% nor 40% tariff to prevent them chose EVs from Chinese OEMs - they are really good value and quality.
@@misterjay4347 They are good build quality. Only when you test drive them you will feel. I am in the UK and I am enjoying MG4 at the moment - hope can have more choices :) Can see more Chinese EVs if visit China, there is something called 144-Hour Visa-Free Transit scheme for British and American citizens.
It's a blessing and a curse. You don't the tariffs as you no longer have a car industry for it to destroy. Tariffs are there to protect the given countries inferior products and keep them alive. It would be nice to make them have to compete on a level playing field. As the customer loses out, we can either have a lesser German (for example) product, or pay a premium for something like this. I get it's to save jobs, but it makes the OEMs all agree to all evolve slower. The bag EVs are fine, but not a patch on what China has to offer now.
To be a greener environment, Australia government have to subside buyer $20,000 rebate on all EV Cars , I hope this is going to happen 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤Thank You guys it was a fun drive 😂😂cheers......
@@shawndonadieu4084 same thing, byd dolphin is only like 15,000 aud drive away in China, it is toooooo expensive here in australia. I think it is the biggest problem for customers like me haha.
This is not a Model Y killer. This is a Ford killer, a GM killer, a VW killer, a Stellantis killer, an Audi killer, a BMW killer. I probably forgot a few. ;-)
You know what? Unlike the US literally killed people and waged wars, BYD never used any bullets and missiles to kill anybody. They just developed attractive cars. They just did their best for winning global competition.
Great job guys reviewing the new coming EVs to Australia in the next year! Would be interesting to see how the Sealion 7 is gonna compete with Zeekr 7X.
Hello Guys thanks for the review. Next time you are in a BYD try putting 3 fingers on the screen to change the temp and the fan speed. Also you can just use the voice command if you change the language in the menu to english. We have the dolphin and have found it to be a great car and a big step up from our old Toyota Corolla.
Been waiting for this for a while boys. Not a chance in hell it will be 48k. 55k drive away would be the target surely. Just over 60k got the performance
@@shawndonadieu4084 too much comparison to the Y. The issue is. It cant be priced below the Seal and cant be priced below the Sealion 6. 55K driveaway is on point I feel. The Y will faulter from the other brands Xpeng, Zeekr etc.
It will decimate Seal sales even if it ends up $2k dearer. It will also knock sales from the hybrid SL 6. At circa $10k dearer than Atto 3 ER it makes sense. How it can do 3.8 seconds 0-100kph eludes me as it is heavier and less aerodynamic than equivalent Seal.
Guys, looking at a space in the back of the car is pointless without a reference, eg. Large suitcases... Can it slide 3 Xlarge suitcases in the back? (size range being: Cabin, large, Xlarge)
My last Atto3 OTA killed my "Hey BYD" feature and no setting would bring it back. I told the MyCar man at the 40,000km service and after being stung $499 for it, he said I had to contact BYD because they couldn't restore "Hey BYD". I have yet to go through the process, but it has left me wondering how convoluted this wil be? Will they ship it back to China or send a mechanic business class to Brisbane? Will they even fix it? In the meantime, has any other BYD owner gone through this? I would love to know how many and what I'm in for? Oh well, one back speaker is also making inappropriate noises. This might be a regular occurrance.
You need to make an active assessment of every 'donk' and you must include 'Donk' from Crocodile Dundee. Your views will increase by 10 fold! Trust me!
no, it only mean your cabin floor is directly on the battery, no more extra floor gap between battery and car floor. the same way to take out and put in the battery pack. They did it starting with seal
But you'd buy a US car. The UN special Repertoire Dr Alena Douhan visited Xinjiang in May this year and found no evidence of a genocide there. The US government made it up just like they made up WMD in Iraq in 2003, just to discredit China.
That's a click bait title if Ive ever seen one and a massive call. It's nice but it's new and needs to elvolve before it can compete directly with the Juniper model Y.
I’m a mandarin speaker and I didn’t see any time they made fun of the language. I found them quite respectful when saying hello and trying to read the characters on the vehicle.
Australia customers are so lucky - there is neither 100% nor 40% tariff to prevent them chose EVs from Chinese OEMs - they are really good value and quality.
Definitely! This is one good looking car
American here. At least I am jealous we can’t even have access to these cars. Are they reliable from what you see?

If they price this right, it should sell very well indeed
what I heard is byd don't have the right to set price in AU, it is up to local dealer.
@@TRI-xe3xw but they deside the msrp, dealer decide the mark up
@@shawndonadieu4084 same thing, byd dolphin is only like 15,000 aud drive away in China, it is toooooo expensive here in australia. I think it is the biggest problem for customers like me haha.
Every year the price of Battery drops by 2.5%. And BYD is very active in taking advantage of the price.
This is not a Model Y killer. This is a Ford killer, a GM killer, a VW killer, a Stellantis killer, an Audi killer, a BMW killer. I probably forgot a few. ;-)
Bad day for Tesla investors today...thx to Musk's maniac show.

@@stefan2796robotaxi event was hilarious
ahahahahahhahahahahaha
@@TheEd555 the fanboy cope is wild.
Such good reviews gents! You will deserve all the success that's no doubt coming.
They deserve their fisting
BYD cars are amazing, Sealion is a great car, The Seal sedan is also amazing. RIP Tesla.
I'm so glad your boyfriend is back here. Really missed him and you make for a great team. And he's cute. He's a keeper.
Great job guys reviewing the new coming EVs to Australia in the next year!
Would be interesting to see how the Sealion 7 is gonna compete with Zeekr 7X.
They are getting banned
@@edwardsajl who is getting banned? Zeekr and BYD are already in Australia.
@edwardsajl Banning them will generate another Trade War which Australia does not need
@@edwardsajl Australia has joined the RCEP, it will not put tariffs on Chinese cars. Australian people can buy more affordable cars.
If priced similarly to seal equivalents will sell very well

If they price it like that it will not sell at all
@@wcrash9361 true, bland design deserve a cheaper price
Itd have to go under the Y wouldn't it?
@@shawndonadieu4084 too much comparison to the Y. The issue is. It cant be priced below the Seal and cant be priced below the Sealion 6. 55K driveaway is on point I feel. The Y will faulter from the other brands Xpeng, Zeekr etc.

5'11 "that's a very honest man
Nice will it include chargestops? or stil need to add them manualy....
Hope consumption is better than there other models.
I'm waiting for this... working my arse off to save money for this
im looking forward to this, im in the market for a new car soon, so hopefully it comes out priced well
Any chance of a sneak peak of the Smart #5 😁😁😁😁
whats with the steering wheel paddles?
Looks stunning!!
They really missed a trick not having the second phone charger.
They cant price it below the atto or the seal. Id say starting around $50k mid. Up to $65k for the premium.
Which country? Why is it so expensive? The starting price of this car in China is $26,800, and the highest configuration is only $33,900.
Guys, looking at a space in the back of the car is pointless without a reference, eg. Large suitcases... Can it slide 3 Xlarge suitcases in the back? (size range being: Cabin, large, Xlarge)
I think the car looks nice but we should have a car Industry in Australia.
After that I call you commy boy 😅😅😅😅😅
Best name for communist supporter mate thumbs up
Still waiting for the BYD Whale with flux capacitor...
this so confusing naming scheme. So this car has no relation to the sealion 6 plug i hybrid?
for byd variant 6 is phev,7 is full ev.

702 km range guess what car can do this now today ?
Very stressful video,- a little less fuss would be nice 😅

Nice steering wheel outlay LOL
It’s giving me Lexus rx vibes from the side
RIP the overuse of RIP😂
looks more like subaru outback size?
Why don't we some sensible people doing the tests
"Faux leather"???😂😂
i.e. plastic!!
Man slow down you'll blow a valve :)
Mate you are overdoing the RIP thingy
What?
@@bobbyus out friend uses the term RIP too liberally on his thumbnails
So BYD gives Seal Continental eContact tyres but they give this Giti tyres?
Every chance the Australian model has different rubber
Knee-how 😂😂😂
Great car
BYD ❤
Another Chinese land fill product coming to Australia!! lol
Naaaaw you poor little thing 😢 Tell us where the big bad car hurt you little fellar.
Except the Tesla will have fully autonomous driving.
If the battery in the BYD Sealion 7 is part of the chassis, does that mean it's harder to replace/repair compared to other EVs?
the battery dose need repair.
tesla did the same thing, will defninetly affect the resale value
@@shawndonadieu4084 Why ?
no, it only mean your cabin floor is directly on the battery, no more extra floor gap between battery and car floor. the same way to take out and put in the battery pack. They did it starting with seal
As a matter of principle for human rights, I will not be purchasing any BYD product, ever...
But you'd buy a US car. The UN special Repertoire Dr Alena Douhan visited Xinjiang in May this year and found no evidence of a genocide there. The US government made it up just like they made up WMD in Iraq in 2003, just to discredit China.
Carsauce has been compromised. China
Really ?
Interior is 50 shades of grey . . . Sad
BYD EV6
The EV6 of BYD is the BYD Seal 06 GT
That's a click bait title if Ive ever seen one and a massive call. It's nice but it's new and needs to elvolve before it can compete directly with the Juniper model Y.
Too much leather... pass
Tesla model Y is so ugly compared to this. If u are a sane person would agree
Garbage. 🤮 🤮 🤮 🤮 🤮
The Renault 5 has a nicer interior. Chinese car interiors mostly look the same, excluding the Xiaomi su7.
Stop making fun of the Chinese language
Why so sensitive? Where did he make fun? I thought only the Indian’s are drama queens
I’m a mandarin speaker and I didn’t see any time they made fun of the language. I found them quite respectful when saying hello and trying to read the characters on the vehicle.
Why so sensitive? Where did he make fun? I thought only your neighbors down south are drama queens
@@ha1234yeah i agree with you, they were not making any fun or being disrespectful
Don’t know why you said that. I cannot see any problem.
BYD's interiors feel like cheap luxury, the kind of blitzy cheap materials. Proportions are messy too. Ill pass.
Actually the review is quite ok, where do you see bling?
CCP definitely got these guys
when are u gonna rescue them?
lmao Langley got you with america's US$600 million+ /year anti-china propaganda push
Its CPC and could you be more indoctrinated spewing this garbage trope.
Another suv with bland styling out of 🇨🇳…🥱….keep piling them in. Cheap and cheaper!! 😂
Another land-missile
Let the suckers be the BETA Testers 😂.
Cheap is irrelevant. Is it a good car, i tried byd in Singapore and it’s quite good
@@bobbyus I’m sure they do what they need to do, but yeah, so does a shopping trolley.
