Mistake: The combined power for this vehicle should be 238kW (319hp). Sorry I was wrong in the video.
Lovely car. Tested it, compared it and recently purchased. It is a definitely higher segment than its competitors
Amazing.
Anyone with a long back, do make sure it fits you comfortably! The Atto 3 for me made my top of my shoulders sore after just a 30 min test drive, then at a later date I tried the Dolphin and had no such issues, the Dolphin headrest was ever so slightly higher than the Atto 3, so just check that as no BYD have adjustable headrests
Good suggestion.
30 minutes test drive 😮
What a beautiful car to drive!🤩
Awesome to be in for sure!
Hey Jerry, loving my BYD Sealion 6.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing.
How’s fuel economy?
I've driven the Premium and just love the smooth power and all that torque. Not a GT, but still very comfortable and acceptable. My only criticism is the tyres that they come with are inadequate and need replacing with better quality, like the Continental or Kumo.
Yes, even the base model is fine for daily drive really. A better tyre will help a lot I agree.
What tyre do they come with stock?
If the Steering is Light for you you can Change the steering from Comfort to Sport in Settings 😊
great video, thanks a lot it helps mi to see more details about this car like welcome lights, regards from Poland
Love it! Preorder my own already, but we only have FWD version in Philippines and low specs 😢 the price above 28k US dollars and over more than 2 months line up. Love your review and very helpful, thank you Jerry!🎉
Thank you :)
The suspension is terrible for Australian roads. It’s great around city traffic as it’s soft and soaks up low speed bumps and road imperfections. It desperately needs a calibration as its high speed compression and rebound doesn’t provide much confidence when touring. Yes it’s not a sports car however it can be improved. My only criticism so far from an owners perspective. Nice review. Thank you.
Thanks for the comment. Yes, many Chinese cars focus on the softer suspension set up and it is not the best for Australian or New Zealand country roads. This will definitely be addressed for future products.
@@JerryPanandCars I wouldn't say many and you definitely can not say will be addressed unless you have this in writing from the actual manufacturer! As someone who has several business interests in China with over 50 visits covering the last 3 decades I've learnt a thing or two. One example being Tesla. Would you say they have softer suspensions in the Model 3 and Y? No.
@@marcusgeorge1825 Maybe relate to the home contry's infrastructure?
Article out yesterday: BYD Sealion 6 to get local suspension updates (for Australia - not sure if also other countries)
Please bring this model to South Africa.
I talked to someone from South Africa and he mentioned the charging facility is a pain. EV sales in South Africa is close to none-existence. I'm assuming that hurts the chance of BYD's arrival as they focus on EV and PHEV.
Keen to see how its on highway
I filmed a version of it driving on ACC / ICC through Auckland traffic but I messed up the tutorial missing a couple of points. I'm not sure if I will release it anymore.
I'm currently looking at this model and the KGM Torres EVX. the BYD has advanced tech and a more luxurious interior. However, i have found the driving not smooth. the Torres sits on the road better and a much smoother ride, especially when cornering. I am torn between the two vehicles, and the price range is similar. Your comments would be appreciated.
I haven't driven the Torres so it is hard to compare. I agree with you on the pro and cons on the BYD though.
This is a Seal U in Eu..
Seal lion is a cupe like X6 in China..am I right?..
Yes, Song Plus DMi in China, Seal U in EU and Sealion 6 in Southeast Asia plus Oceania.
Sealion 7 is possibly the next passenger car. It is like a crossover coupe type. I'd say X4 or X3 size not as big as X6. Thanks
@@JerryPanandCars that's weird. Seal U in EU is EV and it look different!
There is no eCVT transmission in this car, because it directly drives an electric motor, the petrol engine is only a generator.
That's not correct based on the information available online. This is a plug-in hybrid. The petrol motor may work like a generator at low speed but it will drive the wheels when needed. It is also mentioned as eCVT for the transmission according to the Chinese website. Thanks
When will the 2025 model come to the netherlands?
No idea :(
does it have dashcam installed like atto3 ?
Not for this car.
the dmi tech is now adapted to japanese cars in china
Nice
Sealing 6 gas consumption is??
Thanks 😮
Has updated on my most recent shorts. Check it out:)
The new Sealion 7 EV and 2025 sealion plug in hybrid even more impressive 😮
Yep but we won't have it until a couple of years maybe.
I think you're a tad lite on the total Kw...dealers are recording total as 240kW.
It is the NZ / AU version spec sheet that says 220kW combined. Different market may have different rating.
@@JerryPanandCars Hmmmmm, interesting. Our local dealer is advertising at 240kw.
Digging deeper, it looks like the NZ model is actually 238kw in combined power for the Premium model.
Yes, you were correct. Sorry I was wrong in the video.
Jerry...is this model come with dashcam camera?
@@liewkwetwei9838 not as far as I know but double check with your local dealer.
Rust??
No idea
Shit fissssh and chips ...love your work.
Not sure what the first part means but thank you so much for the second part :D
BYD bring Sealion into Malaysia
