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.
Thanks for sharing the information.
Agreed!
Yep, there is a huge difference between modern tech vs a 30 y.o. tech
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.
Great review .. straight to the point. Cheers 👍
Thank you!
Thanks for the video 🇨🇳🇦🇺
Thanks for the support:D
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?)
Power sunroof cover in Australia. Close and open by voice control or button.
That is very useful information - thank you!
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.
Thanks for the support.
No it doesn’t have auto recording when it is locked.
Thanks, good review
Would you know if the emission of the gasoline engine is euro 6 or euro 5 compliant?
Also does it have automated parking?
Thanks for your support.
Not sure about the emission standard. Not auto parking on this vehicle for the Chinese version.
@@JerryPanandCars Thank you
From Australia. AWD version is the way to go. I perfer White, only dislike the head a little bit, the rear is absolutely beautiful!
Nice choice!
Thank you for the video this is called BYD Sea Lion 6 in Australia. What colour is this car please ?
Looks like “Harbour Grey”.
Ok I wasn't sure if this was the "Harbour Grey" or "Stone Grey" colour
Yep, definitely Harbour Grey
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 ?
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.
70 to 100 is possible
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
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.
@@mattgage1021 I didn't know that. How simple it really is. Thanks for the answer!
@@mattgage1021What sort of fuel usage to you get if running on fuel only? Thanks
@@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.
@@mattgage1021 Thanks very much
In China, any history to fire incident related to this models or blade battery
Not that I know of. These blade batteries are very safe.
