If not sanctioned by the west. Hope other markets could offset those poor people in America and Europe who are forced to buy expensive and subpar automobiles.
It has to be said , that is pretty good mileage , but other questions come into play , reliability , longevity , how long will the battery hold its charge ? If you asked me would I buy this one or a favourite ICE vehicle, I’d pick the ice vehicle , if I was after ice economy I’d probably pick a diesel mondo with 1300+ ks range. And yes it would probably cost twice or three times as much .
@@joey3291 what you are refering to is old hybrid tech. The BYD DMi system allows you to use either the battery or gas to power the electirc motor or ice engine at any combinations, at any speed range to achieve top efficiency
This is gonna give the GAC Aion BEVs a run for their money in the rideshare market. Didi driver mostly operate in urban environments and can probably squeeze huge amounts of range out of these without charging, especially if they go for the bigger battery 120km trim and plug in every night.
Summary: most of 80-120km/h speed and full day AC on, total range is 1350-1450km, fuel consumption 4.7L/100km. But with less comfortable drive experience, for example AC off and lower speed, it may still have a range 2000km and fuel consumption less then 2.9L/100km.
I reckon Chinese government should revise their driving range measurement system. I think they should set up a much tougher and higher benchmarks. I want China to be a country that setting the standard for everyone to follow. So that in the not too distant future hopefully the "Chinese standard, benchmark, quality” is something that becomes a common phrase.
I used to think that too, I bought my xpeng g6 in winter, its a 755km range version, i only get about 500km, but now is late spring/summer, I get near 700km
I recently traveled in China, and I think the main reason they continue to use CLTC is because most people really are just driving around cities and that test reflects this usage. For long distance travel no country in the world can match the Chinese high speed rail system in terms of how fast, smooth, and comprehensive it is. Took me from Beijing to Chongqing in 7 hours flat cruising at a smooth quiet 350 kph. Beats both air travel and road trip when you've got that HSR system.

Another great video. Your presentation is even better than the shirts. Some comments take issue with your test as if they were personally affronted on behalf of BYD even though you explain everything clearly in the beginning. For those who feel you should have stayed in the city as most cars are driven there, missed the whole point completely. It doesn't matter if it does 2000ks on a fill if all you are doing is 30ks a day in urban driving. What matters is range on long trips. Which is exactly what you testrd.
While in Australia, people are still paying quadruple the money to just sit themself in a 2 year waiting list for a Toyota😂 Please BYD bring this to Australia, we need competitions
You probably won't get this one, but BYD has just launched Sea Lion 06 in Australia, no? Sea Lion 06 is basically the BYD Song in China, which is the crossover variant of Qin. Won't be quite as efficient, but will be far roomier. Presumably after BYD launches the new Song with this same 5.0 DM-i powertrain, it will come to Australia at some point. Maybe you'll even get the ones made in their new Thailand factory.
Thank you for the test. For normal daily drivers in urban area 80km or more range uses BEV features a lot save lots of fuel easily reach 2000+km. Each day go home recharge battery For holiday over long range car consume mainly fuel, not using much battery range will drop to as your video calculated ~1,300km or less range (if driving mountain, hilly area) Long distance lower range because it uses lot more fuel Short distances it uses Battery thus can easily achieve 2,000+km range For daily urban drivers doing their work & travel use routine
Great real world driving conditions test. Love your commitment and lumbar sacrifice Ethan. Still impressive range considering the rain, elevation and heat.

3 дня назад+2
Great test, now lets see a city only test over several days 👍👍💪💪, normal city usage.
The petrol price has gone through the roof in the country I currently live in, so I would love to give BYD Qin a good try to see how far it could go with three passengers to their destination with its air con fully on.
It would be great if an ev can show us the energy consumption of each main components. This can help us to figure out what is the real energy consumption of the powertrain. I also like to know what is the percentage of the accessories power consumption, especially the power hungry air conditioner, headlights or blowers.
22km/l is very,very impressive, considering that you actually didn't 'torture' yourself and enjoyed the road trip. I would love to see BYD's plug-in hybrids here in my country, while our government are encouraging us go full ev, the infrastructure definitely not there yet, this is a better alternative.
Hi Wheelsboy you're looking like million bucks in that driver seat, I would buy this car too, But the damn politicians are dictating our life They are deciding what car I can drive, As a personal protest, I decide not to purchase any cars in the next 4 to 5 years my commute to work plus traffic jam on highways cost me $300 to $350 for gas every month, I seriously consider quitting my job and find some work close to where I live given hourly pay only at $16/hour right now
The same vehicle, with a tester running 2400 kilometers with 24 ℃ air con and 110 km/h, I think this is related to personal habits。He reduced his battery life by 30% in rainy conditions. Plus, he climbed mountains from eastern China to central China, and the altitude also has an impact
I think you should set a speed limit of 100km/h for eco mode.A speed range of ,80 to 100kmh,for eco mode to work effectively. Most chinese bloggers mentioned that in their videos. The rainy weather and road conditions could be an issue as well.

4.5/L 100 Km in a Hybrid car, with an aspirated engine at highway speeds with AC on, is pretty impressive! Btw, people claim that you were uphill - This could add at least 1L/100 km to the equation. And the price at 15K $, this is a no-brainer.
Man, it would take at least 70 hours to drive 1,000 km in the urban area of Shanghai where he is. Even if he drives 10 hours a day, it would take a whole week. This is absolutely unrealistic.
@@kevinrich5222 he was giving the impression that he was going try and get 2000 km of driving when he knew he was never going get anywhere near that when he was only highway driving. He should’ve disclose that right from the beginning.
Unlike combustion cars which achieve fuel-economy when driven at speed of 80-90KMH (55-60 MPH), BYD's hybrid vehicles' fuel-economy speed is achieved when driven in urban area with frequent stops and restarts (the cars then are powered by electric motors other than traditional engines and that why they show different performances)
@@mingouczjcz3800not Canada, the government there just crazy announcing China are dumping ev there, this despite no Chinese EV are actually sold in Canada. They are America’s poodle.
The sweetspot for more cars in terms of consumption is around the 90km mark. When i used to have a Mitsubishi cold and drove it with the avg speed of 90km i would get on a tank of diesel about 900km and this was 15 years ago. I think the it would be worth to do a 90km avg speed and see the range.
The BYD media event drives he refers to where people achieved between 2000 to 2200 km on a single tank were all essentially done at a constant 80 kph. So 90 kph would give a somewhat lower range, maybe 1600 to 1800 km.
Given that Chinse cars have been effectively outlawed in the USA perhaps you should use the Imperial gallon which is 25% larger that the US gallon. In this case the BYD did 65 mile/gallon. Not far from 80 and surely doable around town.
Can you be more specific when you quote the fuel efficiency number going forward because UK gallon is different from US gallon? 4.5L/100 KM = 52.27 MPG (US) = 62.77 MPG (UK)
@@tren133 we unfortunately just got the byd brand locally, and the song plus just debuted with their launch, so don't think we will get the upcoming model for a while.
@@hardcoreep BYD is in the process of buying their own car transport fleet, ordering 7 massive transport ships several years ago. Only the first ship has been delivered to them, with the other 6 on the way. When that fleet of BYD's own ships are all up and running, that should help decrease shipping costs for BYD and further increase their exports to various international markets such as yours. Plus due to the level of competition in China, every carmaker must iterate their products quickly. BYD is tweaking all their models on a yearly basis and doing full redesigns sometime after just 3 years. When the new Song launches, BYD will pretty quickly discontinue its production because Chinese consumers will not want to buy the older stuff, and ramp their new model. So hopefully that means export markets won't have to wait too long to also get the new models.
Mixed City drive is where it should shines. You can get probably 1800km from it and it only costs 14~20k USD. what car can you buy with that kind of money in your country? The interior and room size is comparable to Camry and Accord. not a small car like prius
Speaking for BYD DM5.0 alone, this car (and its siblings) will rule the low price range cars (around 100k CNY) in China for sure, where main-stream Japanese cars (plus VW..., given the fact Korean and French cars are long-dead in China market.) will be slaughtered.

For those who feel you should have stayed in the city as most cars are driven there, missed the whole point completely. It doesn't matter if it does 2000ks on a fill if all you are doing is 30ks a day in urban driving. What matters is range on long trips. Which is exactly what you testrd.
While in Australia, people are still paying quadruple the money to just sit themself in a 2 year waiting list for a Toyota😂
Please BYD bring this to Australia, we need competitions
You probably won't get this one, but BYD has just launched Sea Lion 06 in Australia, no? Sea Lion 06 is basically the BYD Song in China, which is the crossover variant of Qin. Won't be quite as efficient, but will be far roomier. Presumably after BYD launches the new Song with this same 5.0 DM-i powertrain, it will come to Australia at some point. Maybe you'll even get the ones made in their new Thailand factory.
My hubby just bought this ❤
But he charges every so often
Ps: he got the seal
Love the tour + ev test drive idea, pretty sure it will gain traction!
Great video - thanks
Thank you for the test. For normal daily drivers in urban area 80km or more range uses BEV features a lot save lots of fuel easily reach 2000+km. Each day go home recharge battery
For holiday over long range car consume mainly fuel, not using much battery range will drop to as your video calculated ~1,300km or less range (if driving mountain, hilly area)
Long distance lower range because it uses lot more fuel
Short distances it uses Battery thus can easily achieve 2,000+km range
For daily urban drivers doing their work & travel use routine
Great real world driving conditions test. Love your commitment and lumbar sacrifice Ethan. Still impressive range considering the rain, elevation and heat.
Amazing that you got this so fast. Great car.
Clean looking car, would make a great taxi.
In China, most of new taxi wlll use pure EV but not PHEV.
@@kaponomaa3415 what would be the most popular EV for a taxi ?
@@whatnow9653 I don't know about the future, but in the last 2~3 years in China, as a passenger, because of the wide space, the most desired taxi model for many people now is Aion Y Plus.
@@kaponomaa3415 yea i can understand that. big battery, great passenger space, looks good in yellow, but not exactly cheap.
@@whatnow9653 Not cheap? But it's actually about the same price as the Qin L🤔
Thanks for this review. I have waited for this video forever….No one can do it better than you when it comes to Chinese EV.
What BYD is doing in automotive industry with it's BEV and PHEVs is just amazing.
Can't wait for BYD Shark hopefully will be offered in Europe ❤❤❤
Great video
Love your content
BYD used a very innovative approach to tuning a hybrid car: a battery car with a small fuel-efficient gas engine versus the regular fuel engine + Batteries. Very innovative thinking!
Great test, now lets see a city only test over several days 👍👍💪💪, normal city usage.
The petrol price has gone through the roof in the country I currently live in, so I would love to give BYD Qin a good try to see how far it could go with three passengers to their destination with its air con fully on.
I'd still be OK with even a 1000 km range....1000km bonus is heaven, simple as that. I wish this becomes real one day.
interesting to watch. fair assessment. good to learn about EV & hybrid.
Thanks for the entertainment
我终于等到你了
The engine is a real beauty
It would be great if an ev can show us the energy consumption of each main components. This can help us to figure out what is the real energy consumption of the powertrain. I also like to know what is the percentage of the accessories power consumption, especially the power hungry air conditioner, headlights or blowers.
22km/l is very,very impressive, considering that you actually didn't 'torture' yourself and enjoyed the road trip. I would love to see BYD's plug-in hybrids here in my country, while our government are encouraging us go full ev, the infrastructure definitely not there yet, this is a better alternative.
Hi Wheelsboy you're looking like million bucks in that driver seat, I would buy this car too, But the damn politicians are dictating our life
They are deciding what car I can drive, As a personal protest, I decide not to purchase any cars in the next 4 to 5 years
my commute to work plus traffic jam on highways cost me $300 to $350 for gas every month,
I seriously consider quitting my job and find some work close to where I live given hourly pay only at $16/hour right now
I would buy this IF it comes to Australia.
三个人，90%的高速驾驶，下雨，这几个因素都大大减少续航
The same vehicle, with a tester running 2400 kilometers with 24 ℃ air con and 110 km/h, I think this is related to personal habits。He reduced his battery life by 30% in rainy conditions. Plus, he climbed mountains from eastern China to central China, and the altitude also has an impact
Have to do it again in city driving with regen to aid mpg
A very interesting review
😮thats indeed still very impressive
I think you should set a speed limit of 100km/h for eco mode.A speed range of ,80 to 100kmh,for eco mode to work effectively. Most chinese bloggers mentioned that in their videos.
The rainy weather and road conditions could be an issue as well.
Ele errou ao gastar a bateria toda logo de cara no primeiro trecho 😂😂😂 Não sabe NADA de carros híbridos e ainda não mostrou qual % de reserva foi configurado! Simplesmente ele transformou um carro híbrido em puramente em combustão no primeiro trecho
Car not smart enough to do so. Blame the car not the driver, if so much hassle why not walk
@@JinbeSumi
@@JinbeSumi 我认为你得到了错误的理解，这辆车有很多保留电量的模式，可以手动和自动。
4.5/L 100 Km in a Hybrid car, with an aspirated engine at highway speeds with AC on, is pretty impressive! Btw, people claim that you were uphill - This could add at least 1L/100 km to the equation. And the price at 15K $, this is a no-brainer.
Please do more road test on other BYD.
Is the "body-in-white" entirely made of 2-side hot-galvanized steel , that is stamped, then cut, then and laser-welded ?
BYD Electric vehicle was record the milestone over 3,200 kms+ by October 2023!
Can we get a video about AITO m9? All rich people in China are so crazy about this car, I know at least 9 people purchase the same car.
现在中国人都在等-享界S9和腾势Z9GT的价格公布。AITO M9是SUV的最好选择。但是超豪华旅行车（Z9GT）和迈巴赫S级（S9）同样有受众。很多人并不喜欢SUV。
想象一下性能 智能 动力 内饰 都超越 迈巴赫S级 。卖给你75000USD 你会不会买。。
@@user-lt6ke9hg8f 我也是中国人，就是好奇流量这么大的车为什么不测

good review, I like the worst case highway driving
2000 km plus range I’m sure would include 50% urban driving which you didn’t do.
90% ))
Man, it would take at least 70 hours to drive 1,000 km in the urban area of Shanghai where he is. Even if he drives 10 hours a day, it would take a whole week. This is absolutely unrealistic.
@@kevinrich5222 he was giving the impression that he was going try and get 2000 km of driving when he knew he was never going get anywhere near that when he was only highway driving.
He should’ve disclose that right from the beginning.
For commuting, using electric mode is sufficient
Gas mileage is based on highway driving only. So this is even more impressive since you are more likely stuck in slower speed more often.
China BYD hybrid EV is number ONE technology in the world NOW🥰💪🥰
Unlike combustion cars which achieve fuel-economy when driven at speed of 80-90KMH (55-60 MPH), BYD's hybrid vehicles' fuel-economy speed is achieved when driven in urban area with frequent stops and restarts (the cars then are powered by electric motors other than traditional engines and that why they show different performances)
Such a nice and efficient car. Really cannot understand why we cannot get it in the US.
Thank you! What about Seal 06?
Get the sweet spot to achieve maximum joy
i think those tests also have high speed and have air con on all the time
Good looks and a great fuel efficiency!
Will it ever come to North America though?
No, you can forget about it.
national security threat according to American authorities, lol
100% tariff warning🤣
Both Canada and Mexico are possible
@@mingouczjcz3800not Canada, the government there just crazy announcing China are dumping ev there, this despite no Chinese EV are actually sold in Canada. They are America’s poodle.
What byd needs right now is to have service centers and good parts suppliers and that would sate everyone's fear of no parts and service.
I wanna buy it now
车上实际坐了三个人 视频给人感觉只做了一个人的错觉 节目评测开始就应该说清楚测试条件，而不是到了结尾才说， 空调开23度 一般都是24-25度 这样的负载并不算低 ， 每个评测路况不同有差异 路况 负载 速度都会影响续航里程。或者说你这个测试是在中等负载和长时间高速的情况下得出的里程数，你可以测试一下其他混动车 同样的路线和负载下续航是多少 相同条件下的测试才有意义
坐一位就2000km，三位就打七折嗎？
@@JinbeSumi 你的意思做一个人和做三个人 消耗的油是一样的？你的意思是说空调温度对油耗是没有影响的？别那么无知行吗
The sweetspot for more cars in terms of consumption is around the 90km mark. When i used to have a Mitsubishi cold and drove it with the avg speed of 90km i would get on a tank of diesel about 900km and this was 15 years ago. I think the it would be worth to do a 90km avg speed and see the range.
The BYD media event drives he refers to where people achieved between 2000 to 2200 km on a single tank were all essentially done at a constant 80 kph. So 90 kph would give a somewhat lower range, maybe 1600 to 1800 km.
@@tren133 still 1800 km is just insane.
Given that Chinse cars have been effectively outlawed in the USA perhaps you should use the Imperial gallon which is 25% larger that the US gallon. In this case the BYD did 65 mile/gallon. Not far from 80 and surely doable around town.
Golf 5 2.0 tdi from 2008 has 1600km range
This is still a very very impressive car, aesthetics being put aside.
Can you be more specific when you quote the fuel efficiency number going forward because UK gallon is different from US gallon? 4.5L/100 KM = 52.27 MPG (US) = 62.77 MPG (UK)
The wet roads added more friction to the tires.
Just tested the Song + DM-i. Easily lived up to its claim.
The new Song family with this 5.0 DM-i system will probably drop in the next 6-12 months, and it is going to sell like hotcakes for sure.
@@tren133 we unfortunately just got the byd brand locally, and the song plus just debuted with their launch, so don't think we will get the upcoming model for a while.
@@hardcoreep BYD is in the process of buying their own car transport fleet, ordering 7 massive transport ships several years ago. Only the first ship has been delivered to them, with the other 6 on the way. When that fleet of BYD's own ships are all up and running, that should help decrease shipping costs for BYD and further increase their exports to various international markets such as yours.
Plus due to the level of competition in China, every carmaker must iterate their products quickly. BYD is tweaking all their models on a yearly basis and doing full redesigns sometime after just 3 years. When the new Song launches, BYD will pretty quickly discontinue its production because Chinese consumers will not want to buy the older stuff, and ramp their new model. So hopefully that means export markets won't have to wait too long to also get the new models.
Mixed City drive is where it should shines. You can get probably 1800km from it and it only costs 14~20k USD. what car can you buy with that kind of money in your country? The interior and room size is comparable to Camry and Accord. not a small car like prius
1350km per tank is already damn impressive compared to any ICE or even any toyota hybrid in all their generations.
We want a BYD Song L EV 4x4 602 or 663 km range test.
O test foi com a versão de 10kw e não a de 16kw outro erro!
Come on! You are driving a Toyota Hybrid, right? Nice shirt!
The seal over the fueling door is funny as if you don't trust yourself.
Speaking for BYD DM5.0 alone, this car (and its siblings) will rule the low price range cars (around 100k CNY) in China for sure, where main-stream Japanese cars (plus VW..., given the fact Korean and French cars are long-dead in China market.) will be slaughtered.
> 50 mpg on highway is damn good ! My Audi A4 is 30 mpg and it is smaller.
F it. Bring it here to the US. If it's under 20k I'll buy it in an instant!
Ask your political masters for permission first
no, the politians prohibit Americans from buying it
Biden can't answer you.
Lol Biden says no 😂
Wouldn't this be more efficient in urban driving where you stop/start alot more often?
What the name of the song playin in 13:39 min of the video ?
