All New 2024 BYD Sealion 6 Hybrid | Over 1000KM Of Range | Better Than The Toyota Rav 4 Hybrid?

[@jy8674]

The highlight of this car is DMi technology, although it's one generation behind the current DMi-5 in China but still the best Plug-in hybrid in Australia.

[@ShiftIntoGear.]

Agreed 👍

[@georgefenrirbitadze4757]

Chinese electric and hybrid cars are the most advanced in the world today

[@ShiftIntoGear.]

They're doing very well, hard to compete with them right now with price and tech

[@jblake6145]

​@@ShiftIntoGear. Im Chinese in Australia, this car is called song plus in China and sold for around 30k AUD 😂, and they got next gen to be launched this year, with next gen hybrid tech, 46.6% efficiency hybrid engine and 2000km on a 65L fuel tank😊

[@ShiftIntoGear.]

@@jblake6145 Really 30k, wow 😮 I wish it was 30k here lol 😂 that status are unbelievable, they have come a long way, no wonder they’re selling like crazy everywhere.

[@diyideasfun]

@@jblake6145 i hope they bring it to indonesia this year or early next year,

[@redbrickize]

@@jblake6145 from what i read, there is still different from the new DM i 5th Gen in chinese domestic market, yes it is sold just above 30k aud, but the engine is different, it is just a 1.5L of natural aspiration engine, about 75kw of power, more like the sealion 6 dynamics here, but again, dynamics here sold 20k more expensive, only premium offers 1.5T engine, which is about 150kw of power.

Went in to BYD yesterday the interior and exterior are amazing , back seat so comfortable only con is if you are large dog owner I don’t think dog will fit in the trunk without pulling down the back seat.

[@ShiftIntoGear.]

I know we were so surprised when we sat in one, so much to take in. That i never thought of, it would have to be a decent size, because the boot space isn’t too bad.

[@kathyheyne6030]

Thank you for reviewing my next car, guys. Very very nice job, BYD.

It was our pleasure Kathy, thank you for watching 😊.

Great review guys 😊

Thank you Raymond 😊, appreciate it

[@jeppo1185]

Great review boys! It seems like the Sealion gets the tick from all reviewers. It's great to see some real competition and choice now.

[@ShiftIntoGear.]

Hey Jeppo, Appreciate the great feedback champion 👍 The vehicle ticks so many boxes that you can’t really fault it. Are you thinking of getting a hybrid ?

[@jeppo1185]

@@ShiftIntoGear. Cheers for replying 👌 I like the Atto3 and the Seal. I just think the Sealion is the perfect transition to full EV. Cheers

@@jeppo1185 Our pleasure man, yea I would be happy with either one, maybe both 😀. Hope you have a great day 👍

Good looking car ❤

[@ShiftIntoGear.]

Yes I agree

[@sydneyadie]

Just test driven one,very impressive

[@ShiftIntoGear.]

They are impressive, it feels really good to drive. 👍

[@ellisrochlin2267]

Thanks for explaining distance quotes r with full tank . it says the sealion has a 13 gallon tank so the trip could be a average 45 mpg (impressive if true when you consider the weight being pulled along ) plus the plug in power say another 40 miles = 660 miles on a tank full without a recharge. TRY the Newcastle to Melbourne trip or visa versa without a fuel stop or recharge .

[@ShiftIntoGear.]

That’s actually pretty interesting facts there, good to know tho, that’s actually not a bad idea from new castle, even a drive to Brisbane would be a good drive. I’ll let you know when we do that.

[@TriRaMYNasara-xw3tp]

45mpg??really?

[@johanlandman4097]

Please launch this model in South Africa too.

[@ShiftIntoGear.]

That would be awesome if they did.

[@stanbarker2642]

At 7:42 you said it is the only seat trim in this model. There is also a Blue / Grey trim for the Premium as well

[@ShiftIntoGear.]

Hey Stan, My bad meant to say on the Dynamic lol 😂 Appreciate you watching tho, have a great day champ 👍

[@stevennguyen2401]

Hi bro, i ready to order one for our family, do you think gray blue or Brown black interior better, i need a leather material clean affer few years use so i confusing about leather color + material on Byd Sealion 6. Please advise me ! Thanks

[@stanbarker2642]

@@stevennguyen2401 I would be choosing the blue / grey interior unless you opt for the black exterior paint option. You will have to wait a couple of months for the blue /grey interior though, as they have started manufacturing this interior colour this month.

[@harrydinis6414]

@@stanbarker2642 I’ve got the blue/grey interior with the black exterior colour. Love the combination. Picked it up last week.

[@harlan3103]

It would be perfect if it had a space saver tire

[@ShiftIntoGear.]

Good point, at least a space saver. But where would they put it 🤔

[@Ken-nv2hl]

Can you use the vehicle as a backup generator with its V2L capacity? Ie does the engine turn on when there is a low state of charge to recharge the battery while there is a load on the system?

[@ShiftIntoGear.]

You know what that’s actually a really good question, never had to really think of using it like that, but what I’ll do is ask a friend who is actually is an auto electrician, I might have to flick him a text to be honest.

[@Discovery2024-rn8kn]

2000km range coming soon, going to wait

[@ShiftIntoGear.]

Bring it on lol 😃

[@foresthill8462]

Thanks for this. 5:00 do you mind sharing how tall you are to gauge the headroom? Our kids are very tall and we find most midsizsed vehicles don’t have enough headroom unless they recline

[@ShiftIntoGear.]

Hey Forest, It’s our pleasure, yep so I’m around the 189cm in height, and this vehicle I have to admit is spacious, plenty of leg room and I actually didn’t even touch the roof. For some tall like my self they would find it comfortable enough. Thanks for watching, if there is anything else please feel free to leave us a comment.

[@rejiabraham3403]

Is this car reliable in long term ?

[@ShiftIntoGear.]

To be upfront, they are a good car, but time will tell how good they are after time. So we wait and see lol

[@ellisrochlin2267]

Explain a 1000 k of distance please. Cos I do a simple 1 gallon of petrol from empty and a charged battery combined . Leave in town , go round town and eventually hit the highway . Sooner or later it will run out of battery and petrol . This is a everyday real world distance example. I will hazard a guess of just over a 100 kilometres . Please reply.

[@ShiftIntoGear.]

That’s actually a good point, when I first saw this vehicle and we had a good chat with the dealer ship who presented us with this vehicle to review, they advised us that there workers where getting 1000km on this with a full tank and full charge, and we couldn’t believe it. After a few hours of driving it, it didn’t really waste much, and I have people who swear by it, that it saves them money. I think we need to do a review of how far and how long a full tank and charge can get 😂. Thank you for commenting and watching.

[@vitali2127]

Just ordered one here in Thailand

[@ShiftIntoGear.]

How exciting is that, what colour did you get ?

[@LeslieGreenwood-bu9tn]

I think everyone has the same question, how will they fair after 150 - 250 k km,s ( 5 - 10 years ) of use ?

[@ShiftIntoGear.]

Time will only tell, we have to wait and see 😊.

[@ellisrochlin2267]

get holdof sealion 07 even better and in ev format
