I'm not hesitant to buy due to range anxiety, I don't like sedans or SUVs and most electric cars are sedans and SUVs. Also, they look ridiculous. No thanks. I want to have a normal car not make a statement every time I get in it.

Looks fabulous. Can't wait to see these in the UK. Lynk & Co, Zeekr and Xiaomi. 🙂

Byd : Build Your D..💀

Thats the chinese version. Its a pitty that european one lacks some of the nice features.. I will buy one anyway..

B Y D Big Yodelling Duck Beautiful Young Driver Banana Yellow Dessert 😮😊🤪

Love the big central tablet and the all round camera's. Very nice indeed

I have a seal rwd 8 months. i push it 44.000 km. I am happy with that..

As 197 how the ceiling heigh was in the driver position? I'm 194 so it's quite important, want to order, but it's not available yet to do a test drive in my country

No, Polestar is not a Chinese brand. It is very much a Swedish brand, headquartered in Sweden and an offshoot of Volvo. It is a part of the Geely Group, a Chinese group and they are the parent company. Polestar started as a Swedish racing company that then tuned Volvos and was purchased by Volvo who was purchased by Geely. But things get odd in that this is the only Polestar based on a Zeekr, not a Volvo. And Zeekr, while being a Chinese brand, are designed in Sweden and has part of its operation in Sweden. So, the Polestar 4 has Zeekr like qualities like a horizontal/landscape console screen and the whole shape and framework of a lot of it comes from the Zeekr001 as does the platform. The materials come from Volvo and the tuning/suspension is Polestar. Polestar is an alternative Volvo, sleeker design and sportier driving.

European reviewers seem to forget that EV's from China are charged a hefty tax which adds to the price. Somehow Tesla is cheaper over there. Luckily in Australia we get the China exports a lot cheaper which is a massive positive and a lot better quality than Tesla in my opinion which is plain boring (plus the Musk factor)

Salty white guy. Has to make a racist comment about the logo. He should try that with their shittier BMW.

If you are making fun of the name BYD then we can also call BMW: **"Bring More Wrenches"** - because you'll need them to keep up with those maintenance costs! 😄 * Big Money Waste * Brings Massive Worries * Broke My Wallet

ZeekR 7x is better in every aspect. It cost a bit more than SeaLion 7 but I think it’s worth it.

BYD = Build your Dream (it screens on the trunk)

what colour is that

I could test drive the RWD version with 3xx HP and that is more than enough power.

I own a BYD Dolphin (40,000 km within 16 months) and I am quite impressed of the quality.

I very like that BYD still use conventional door, window and mirror controls and standard stocks.

Finally a video that don’t talk about Tesla and don’t talk about Tesla as the best car in the universe! I think that this car is on another level for quality respect tesla model y. Maybe the new restyling is a quite near sea lion 7 but for battery tipe, quality of car byd is better when y feal it inside… I will test this model on Monday and I will return to add my opinion about the drive emotion and answer on the streets.

These are coming to Australia in a few months priced at around $60,000 AUD. BYD Australia boss is so confident in it he predicts it will be their bestselling model.

How does it compare to the Xpeng G6?

It has park sensors front and rear?

What do you think of the Sealion 7? Cheaper than Model Y, but is it better?

😮

When in 2025 do you think we can expect this model in the UK?

What is the cost of renting the battery? I watched/listened to the end part twice, sorry if I missed that bit of info.

Absolutely the P4 is better looking than Musk’s Model Y. When will the P4 be available in the US?

Very attractive car

Which EV are you most looking forward to ?

Firefly 🔥

Nio are the best cars.

How tall are you?

Are these updates going to make the difference ?

The chinese cars will be coming hard next year. They got the exterior right from now on. Now they need to focus on the interior which will be the easy part for them. They don´t need to follow the europeen standard which we see. They love to make their cars like a big bed which I love. If you think about it, your car can be like a tent and you can just sleep there instead of hotel or airbnb. Also the designs are different in China. Alot smarter designs and with accessories

Looks fine. Nothing more

I think it’s the form factor I want. In Australia I am not sure if or how battery swap would work, but if it was not too much fuss to have a smaller battery then swap when it was time for a road trip, use the big one on the road trip, then return home and swap back to your own battery. That could be smarter than buying a big battery when you only need a big one 6 trips a year. You just need one swap station in your city if it is treated as hire a big battery for the holiday.

I'm currently driving a Tesla M3 SR. Even this 60KWh battery is by far more than enough for my daily commute and I'm in the lucky situation to charge at home over night. Only time I do longer trips is during vacation and this is when I have time to take a break every now and then. To be honest, my body needs coffee discharge and refill more often than the car needs the battery recharged... So, while I understand that there are people with different usage profiles, for me a huge battery or swapping station wouldn't be of much benefit.

I almost bought this car, untill I found out it doesn’t have apple Car Play. Went for the Zeekr 001. No wagon, but more room in the back (and a lot more in de front) than the et5.

The EU doesn't allow larger batteries than the car was purchased with. NIO doesn't allow battery swapping when you have bought the battery. So no, the flexibility isn't there. Also, NIO is way too expensive. They charge as much for cars where you rent the battery as others do for the complete car. I'm not spending 60k and then another few hundred per month. Besides, installing a battery swapping station is very expensive, and it only makes sense for NIO if they sell a ton of these. Which they currently don't. Europe has different population distribution and driving patterns than China. Also, you can swap a battery in 5 minutes and go from near 0 to full (best case scenario, probably never going to happen without a quick top up or two along the way). With modern EVs, you can do 10-80 in 10 minutes. But not just once in a blue moon when you are really lucky to have a swapping station along the way, but in many, many places. Seems much more useful to me. And charging speeds are still improving, we'll be at 5 minutes for 10-80 at some point. At which I ask: Where is the NIO advantage? And I can guarantee that there'll be more high speed chargers that can do that than battery swapping stations for a single brand. If NIO were selling shit loads of cars, like 30 % of all EVs, then yeah. But they will never be able to do it.

Looks very much like the Porsche Taycan Wagon.

For a moment I thought it is a Porsche Taycan Wagon

this is my next car

Would you like to see more electric wagons?

Wagons 😊

Enjoyed your review which covered IMO the important points directly without waffles. Looking forward to seeing the G6 here in Uk as it’s on my list as a possible replacement. Disappointed about the restricted view from the rear window but I’ll check it out.

Shame it does look as nice as the new Tesla MY Jupiter!

I’d like to see the crash test ratings and results compared to the model Y.

Just watching this guy trying to charge his EV for minutes on end said no it's not better.
