2024 BYD Sealion 6 DM-i In-Depth Preview -Here's Why it May be a Game Changer

[@jaywalkur]

The official price for the BYD Sealion 6 is P1,548,000

[@icynrvna]

@@jaywalkur and some thought it will be priced at 2.5m. At that price, this would be DOA given than you can get a Tiggo 8 pro PHEV for 300k more. Hoping Ford now brings in the PHEV or hybrid Territory with a similar or even cheaper price.

Finally an affordable PHEV. Hope the BYD ICE is as good as its batteries. Nice preview Jaywalkur

[@jaywalkur]

Thank you

[@billymanalang965]

If I have 1.5M now. I will buy this in a heartbeat.

Similar problem in Thailand. We have a lot of charging stations but often there only 2 charging points. I own a BYD Dolphin and charge at home. Our long distance car is still a Mazda CX-8, because my spouse don't like to plan charging and make longer stops on a long trip. BYD's DM-i technology is very appealing. But we will wait for a 7-seater (BYD Tang?).

BYD take my money!

[@josephcadiao5751]

Thanks for funding the invaders of WPS, I guess? 😂

[@elyserva7903]

​@@josephcadiao5751tell your depender to bring in their hybrid cars then! Wait, they are also using China made hybrids too. 😅😅😅

[@jt.constantine]

​@@josephcadiao5751There will always be an idiot like you who spout nonsense just to make a point. Having an issue with China doesn’t justify constantly shitting on Chinese products or brands. Don’t bring your close-mindedness here. Instead, consider contributing positively to our country by being a good citizen, rather than spreading pointless negativity in random comments... And just so you know, this video is about the BYD Sealion 6. If you have an issue with the WPS invasion, take it to a video that actually discusses it-you're on the wrong thread dude

[@JohnWick-o5v]

very interesting to... competitively priced

[@gbshh9037]

Thank you China for all the great EVs, including the BYD Sealion 6!

[@geraldg6542]

This crossover looks good.

[@yanski12345]

I like your take: "It's an EV w/ ICE as a backup as opposed to its peers w/ ICE backed up by an EV." Toyotas & the likes are really lagging behind these Chinese cars in terms of tech & features. Look at Corolla Cross' infotainment, it's an antiquated design like a CRT pushed into the dashboard. Its 360 cam is wanting. If we say we oppose the onslaught of the Chinese cars on our shores due to WPS, what about if we oppose also the exorbitant pricing of the cars from the legacy brands? If anything, Chinese cars are just exposing the legacy brands.

[@fanutsky]

agree. it is an ev with ice as its power generator. unlike ice with ev backup. but it is still 90% an ice powered. vehicle

[@escargotiskuhol]

Thanks! Can't wait for the full review. In some foreign reviews, they mention that build quality is quite good. How was your experience?

[@jaywalkur]

Thank you. Yes the build quality is good

[@beltnergon]

This BYD PHEV model is the most affordable compact SUV so far in the market.

[@rissbenedicto5088]

Hi @jaywalkur can you rate the byd sealion adas from subaru eyesight and gac emzoom r style. Which tops overall for you now? I like your reviews which the only car reviews that explains well on adas of each vehicle

[@jaywalkur]

I'll do that when i get to do my full review. There was not enough time to test it during this short preview

[@rissbenedicto5088]

@@jaywalkur thanks for acknowledging it. Can I have one more request if it is possible, can you make a review for the top adas vehicle from rating from great to least. It might help a lot of enthusiasts especially living in traffic city of metro manila. I'm your avid fan here on KZbin. Thanks and more power

[@mosm17]

Again, nice review! Just a question, if you use EV only for 5000km,.do you still need to do a PMS (or a change oil) of its combustion engine even if it's not used at all?

[@SalManila1]

Note:The sealion 6 uses 95 octane only.

[@clementte6948]

For me , not exactly a problem. You can get a s&r membership, and with it’s partnership / discount at Unioil of Php 5.00/L, it might come out to be cheaper than a s&R discounted 91 RON gas (discount of Php 3.00/L) depending on the station’s pricing. However, since engine will rarely run as it’s more of a charger, then it will be a looong while before you top up gas I supposed…. Plus a home charger will help as well.

[@rdpacis7822]

How's the comfort or NVH when the engine turns on to charge the battery or even pull the car?

[@jaywalkur]

You can barely hear or feel the engine turning on. It's very quiet

[@jonialforque6610]

Hi, is it true that the range is 1100km? The standard is around 100k, how to make it 1100km?

[@jaywalkur]

The electric range is 100km, meaning you can drive for 100km using battery power alone. But it also has a gasoline engine and the combined range using both gasoline and battery power is 1100km

[@jonialforque6610]

@@jaywalkur does it mean that, in one full charge and one full tank, it can reach 1100Km?

[@艾克发-i6s]

Two BYD Sealion 6s traveled 1,608 km in PH without refueling, recharging

[@robertdionne6073]

👍👍👍

[@jocalibusohump]

Me no chance buying Chinese car.after all I appreciate the review.thanks

I never wanted a Chinese cat, but in Thailand the only affordable option are Chinese cars. I own a BYD Dolphin now since 11 months (25,000 km) and I am very happy with it. The quality is very good. The software (ADAS) still needs some improvements. The Mazda CX-5 (from 2017!) was better working.

[@draconicargus415]

Hello high maintenance after 5 years

[@monching6919]

As per BYD the interval maintenance needed is only once a year for this car since you’ll be running on battery majority of the time and that doesn’t put to much strain on the engine. its like owning an ev doesnt cost much for a maintenance compared to owning an ICE vehicle.

Why hight maintenance costs after 5 years?

[@RaijinKaze]

I think he is assuming this like like other traditional hybrids.

[@wufeiflash]

中国人告诉你 并不会 这款车在中国已经很久了
