    Well, they are not really the same thing. The BYD Sealion 6 is a Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV), whereas the Toyota RAV4 is a hybrid. PHEVs like the Sealion 6 can be charged externally, offering significant electric-only driving range and reducing fuel consumption to as low as 1.5L/100km. They also often deliver stronger power due to the dual motors.
    On the other hand, the RAV4 hybrid relies more on regenerative braking and the engine to charge its battery, with a limited electric-only range. It's known for its fuel efficiency and reliability without needing to plug in.
    Ultimately, if you want to maximise electric driving and enjoy more power, the BYD Sealion 6 PHEV is a great choice. For those who prefer a straightforward, efficient hybrid, the RAV4 is ideal.

      more like 62k drive away with an underpowered lazy drivetrain which will go wrong in 6month (after 2019 Toyotas have been a basket case on reliability and dealers never fix anything but give you a run around). Good luck buying any rav4 for the price on their website. You will place orders like i have with the deposit but after a few months getting an email saying the order can't be fulfilled and the deposit being returned to your bank account. Keep in mind i still have 8 Camrys in my fleet ranging from 2019-2022.

      Toyota's hybrid technology is so reliable because they started their research decades ago. Lithium-Ion batteries were developed by Japanese companies, which is why early Tesla used Panasonic batteries.
      BYD is a typical Chinese knock-off. But to compete in the Chinese market with price, you have to lower yourself to Chinese quality.

      @@yo2trader539 Get your history right before you open your mouth. It was Exxon (yes, the oil company) that developed the lithium ion batteries, but the Japanese copied (some say stole) the technology back in the 1980s. The reason Toyota will be using BYD's PHEV system is because Toyota's own hybrid system is technologically obsolete. Technological competition in the Chinese market is intense, and Toyota had no choice but to abandon its own outdated system.

      85% of Australians live in an urban area and drive on average 33km a day. A fully electric EV would be just fine for most people.
      Hydrogen is 20 years away. A hydrogen fuel cell is powering an electric motor just like an EVs battery. But it does it less efficiently and the hydrogen itself is just as expensive as petrol. I don’t see the advantage of hydrogen at all.

      PHEV just doesn't make sense. The public charging facilities and home chargers are accessible enough to switch to a BEV. The PHEV is better for working with someone who can't charge at home and occasionally uses a 240V wall socket to charge the battery. Anyone who lives in a house or townhouse should buy the BEV straightforwardly. Remember that one of the greatest reasons to switch to the EV is the low maintenance cost since there is no engine or transmission. The PHEV gives you more practicality which is based on your everyday cost.
