  • Detailed first review and test of the BYD Sealion 6 (Seal U), including price, models, interior, performance, handling and more.
    The BYD Seal U will be called the Sealion 6 here in Australia where it will compete with both closed-loop hybrid SUVs (like the Toyota RAV4, Kia Sportage, Haval H6 and Nissan X-Trail E-Power) and plug-in hybrids such as the Mitsubishi Outlander.
    But the Sealion arrives at a very sharp price - from $48,990 before on-road costs.

    Really really happy to see BYD could bring this in. You know what?The reason why JP cars keep low profile in China market nowadays is because the bloody tough competition in China. No matter local Aussie customers like or dislike Chinese cars, we need them to drag down the whole price. I am sick of the long waiting period, Toyota is really spoiled by Australia market. Good work, BYD

And i can say is bloody damn worth it. Save me fuel almost 5grands a year base on $2 petrol liter if i am driving almost 1000 km per week. so much fun. And was hoping BYD SEAL U EV coming in but couldnt wait so got the Tesla Y. If BYD SEAL EV arrive early this year i may have waited and get that car. The review in overseas in China and EU are astonishing. And this is Sealion 6 PHEV... OUtlander PHEV is nice.. but too expensives over 70 grands + and this Sealion best value!

      It has both fuel battery charging intake port. If not charging AC DC port
      Car auto charge Battery via engine when 25% full but that increases consumption of fuel higher litres per km
      e.g.
      1.9 litre/km when battery has juice
      5.7+ l/km battery no juice (25%)
      Misc:
      Charging battery save $$$
      For short distance mean no need refueling
      If possible

    Great interior and cool design. Australia is still not fully ready for battery-only EV cars due to poor infrastructure rollout. Hence we see the missing link of hybrid and PHEV cars filling the gap. My only concern is a 1.5-liter engine may be underpowered to drive such a big SUV. But good to have these cars coming as healthy competition is always good to keep the prices down. Tesla has already dropped 5k in price with others following suit. Finally some good news for consumers.

    A PHEV competes against a PHEV.
    1100km 80km electric 1020 petrol 95RON so 6l/100 plus 18kWh of electricity.
    57% wasted energy using the petrol motor.
    Wait for the Sea Lion 07 as it is a BEV with only 8% wasted energy. It is RWD or AWD, IT competes with Tesla Model Y which is the best selling vehicle in the world.
    PHEVs were less than 1% of our market last year, HEVs 6.5%.

    • @sean9045
      @sean9045 Před 2 měsíci +2

      Bruh you might be wrong.
      First of all, from the gross cost perspective, the current LFP batteries on vehicles are no longer that expensive, compared with those small but with high discharge rate batteries on Japanese hybrids. Plus, BYD's phev gets rid of the gearbox. Instead, it has a very simple eCVT that only handles highway situations for the aim of fuel efficiency.
      2nd, users' perspective. Larger battery packs can fully cover the daily work routine of the majority of us. It's also good for outdoor stuff like camping as well cuz it has the v2l feature, and has substantial 3.3kW capacity, some has 6.6kw.
      3rd, car itself. Larger battery packs die slower. (app. 3000 times of full 0-100% charing will kill it, which is roughly 300,000km pure ev range)

    2) resale value

    • @mondotv4216
      @mondotv4216 Před 2 měsíci +8

      1. BYD's warranty is middling. Not as good as Kia's but better than Tesla's.
      2. Resale value - yep, no one knows but we can assume worse than a Toyota. But Toyota don't even sell their PHEV variants in Australia because of our lack of emission standards. If they did they'd be a lot more expensive than the BYD.
      3. Reliability - if their EVs are anything to go by, very reliable but once again, no data points for PHEVs.
      4. After sales support - pretty much non existent for every vehicle manufacturer, BYD no different. If you mean dealers then pretty much the same as some other brands like Nissan.
      5. No spare wheel - well neither does it's main competitor the Outlander or any PHEV for that matter except for the Range Rover Sport but that's a different price bracket and size.
      It's much cheaper than the Outlander so we'll have to see if it catches on. I owned an Outlander PHEV for 8 years. Very reliable but if I was still in the market for that size vehicle it would be tempting.

    I don't think it can shake the ground for the RAV or the Outlander because Toyota's end Mitsubishi's experience and success with hybrids and PHEVs respectively have taken decades to achieve. However, this will pose a challenge to other hybrids and PHEVs that are sold at the same or higher price points. It will also compete with some EVs like another BYD - the Atto 3.

    BYD hybrids are well known to set on fire. The EV’s are fine but certainly wouldn’t recommend a hybrid. Wouldn’t buy BYD, MG etc as I have a conscience, but would warn everyone about their hybrids a fire issues.

      They switched from pouch batteries to blade. Their hybrids are fine now.

      You have a conscience? You do realise that probably more than 75% of everything own comes from China yeah? Including the phone you are carrying with you.

      "set on fire" means malicious arson for insurance scam.

    Biyadi! It's Biyadi! It just baffles me why BYD would screw itself and use a slogan as a backronym turned unofficial brand name. It's like Toyotas calling themselves "oh what a feeling" outside of Japan or "zoom zoom" for mazda.

      'Zoom zoom' is actually a nice name if you really think 'bout it.
