This vehicle is now named BYD Sealion 6 in New Zealand. The starting price is NZD 57990. Check out BYD's Website for more. www.bydauto.co.nz/vehicles/sealion-6 This filmed version is a Chinese Domestic market example. The NZ version actually offers a dual motor AWD while the Chinese version only offers 2WD now.

There was a dual motor AWD version of this vehicle in China, but it was dropped in the 2024 facelift ("Glory edition"). The one in your video is likely the 2nd edition of the AWD model (2023 facelift, "Champion edition")

In China, this Song has been selling 40,000 or so units each month for a couple of years. Compared to Toyota's hybrid, BYD DMI hybrid runs much more quieter and smoother with significantly bigger battery range, while equally fuel efficient.

if you travel around town and charge at home, you don't even need to refill 99% of the time. Only if you need to go further than 100km one way.

Looks great and a very helpful review. Not sure how i would feel having a permanent glass roof on 40+ degrees celsius australian summer days though… (from what i can tell the roof has no cover other than a clip in shade screen in Australia?)

Thank you for this video - do you know if this car has automatic recording when someone gets too close to the vehicle (or if it gets hit whilst parked)? I am wondering if I need to purchase a separate dashcam.

Also what is the mileage for this car ? On BYD Australia website, it says 1.1L for 100 kilometers. This definitely does not sound real. What was your experience ?
@JerryPanandCars
4 ай бұрын
That ultimately depends on how you charge and how much you drive. When EV battery has no charge left at all. Someone can achieve 5L/100km. When the EV battery is fully charged, you will get 0L/100km

If run on only EV mode, what is the maximum distance that this one can go ? I know on paper it says around 90 kms but that may not be the case in the real world.

I am just wondering what happen if battery dies? Can you use still electric motors? I mean for long journey you can drive very long way without brake and high speed. And probably you battery would die. And then if you have to use only 1.5 aspirated engine it would be really dangerous
@mattgage1021

I have one of these. You can set a limit, as low as 20%, and the battery will not go below that. Once it hits this limit, it acts like a normal hybrid car. The petrol engine then keeps the battery charged to this level so it will never drain.

@@mightymax3791 not sure is the answer. I bought it to commute to, which is around a 45km round trip. I charge the car every 3 days, so mainly just run it on electric. Over that distance it will only consume minimal petrol. The last time I added fuel, the fuel meter went up nearly 800km, and it only cost me around £33.

Around 100,000 units of this PHEV are sold in China each month. I would say they are reliable since they have got 8-year battery warranty in New Zealand.

it defeats the purpose... Emissions: Internal combustion engines produce emissions Complexity: Integrating an internal combustion engine in an electric vehicle adds complexity and maintenance. Reduced Efficiency: there’s an additional energy conversion step, & lower overall efficiency compared to a full electric vehicle. Noise and Vibration: Internal combustion engines can introduce noise and vibration Dependence on Fossil Fuels: relies on traditional fuels, limiting the progress towards cleaner energy sources.
