2025 BYD Sealion 6 Review | Exceptional Range, Exceptional Value

[@leanchu7529]

Finally! I've been waiting for this review from AutoDeal! Although I already have my SL6, I got my unit on October 2 and have already driven it for over 1,000 km, with a remaining gas range of 640 km. I should mention that I've been able to recharge fully around five times. Basically, as long as you have access to a charger or charging station, one full tank can easily exceed the 1,000 km range.

[@Shenolrt]

Autodeal! its about damn time you thoroughly review this car!! 😆

[@ELECTROFELO1]

Here in Mexico BYD is growing very rapidly, 3 months ago, I took ownership of the SONG plus SUV, and I am impressed with the quality of the vehicle and it'sincredible efficiency( Former Audi,Mercedes and BMW owner)

[@raymundairoso9947]

Caco and Autodeal team always make the best reviews. Informative, entertaining, funny and not-boring! Keep it up guys! Cheers!

EVs Exposes the Illusion of Legacy Luxury Cars, Legacy brands Japanese & European, often struggle with electric vehicles (EVs). The challenge isn’t just price, as their cars have always been 50-200% more expensive in some markets. The issue stems from the "exposure effect," where the industry’s mystique fades. Historically, buyers knew to go Japanese for reliability, European for luxury, and American for a unique style, while new players struggled to break in. Korean brands pushed hard but often lacked the margins, cost efficiency, or supply chain to truly compete, as combustion engine technology had plateaued with costly, marginal gains. European brands built their premium image on craftsmanship, performance, and safety. But as Chinese brands entered the EV space, they bypassed this old game and introduced EVs that offer 90% of what Legacy brands provide but at a lower price. Legacy brands feel exposed as the advantages they built over decades-like balance and weight distribution-lose relevance in EVs. Even newer players like BYD, and now Xiaomi, offer EVs with natural balance and sports car-like handling, disrupting the market that Tesla first shook. The game has shifted, and legacy brands must adapt or risk fading out.

[@johnyonardpauly5601]

Chinese EVs make the industry more competitive, it's a win-win situation for all buyers. I wonder how much more these japanese/europian and even korean EVs cost if chinese brands don't drop these bombs.

[@lwoklidfr]

Japanese brands are now lagging when it comes to tech inside and some safety features especially in lower priced category, they are stingy.

[@busetgadapet]

the market won't adapt they just slap tariff on chinese ev making them appear expensive, the tariff cause the car price increase exponentially like 2-3 times price in China

[@roadbusiness6667]

@@busetgadapet China has leveraged their economic influence in other industries for some countries, where countries earn more in China vs locally, just like how Australia gave in to China’s demands to zero its tarrifs on its EV’s, the whole of Europe is also feeling the pressure, in fact the Chinese government has ordered its automakers, including companies like BYD, Dongfeng, MG, and Geely, to halt all plans for European factories, expansions, and even retail locations. This directive is part of China’s ongoing negotiations with Europe, where China is warning of a significant reduction in industrial development and manufacturing it had previously intended to bring to Europe-efforts that would have bolstered Europe's GDP. Europe profits substantially more from vehicle sales in China-by a 10-to-1 margin.

[@Noodless16]

That’s because Chinese car brands only copy and then make it high tech with the features you wont find in japanese car brands.

[@NJS-m6j]

If you doubt BYD's reliability we've been using their cars here in Hongkong International Airport 24/7 moving people, moving materials, moving tools, etc for a year and half. My company is doing Aircraft Maintenance we go around the whole airport to check Aircrafts. The only time those cars been able to rest is when we do shift handover.

So, what are the current mileages, and what issues have the cars had? This information could be useful.

[@SLiX-thatguy11m-]

Damn, I've always blasted brands for taking out physical air controls, especially since you'd have to take your eyes off the road. But that triple finger touchscreen commands is such a smart feature to add to the touch screen, meaning you can achieve your increase and decrease in both temperature and fan speed without looking. Of course I still prefer a knob in the end of the day, but very big props to BYD for actually coming out with viable solutions to that change.

[@Quiamcie]

Im just here because you guys are so entertaining to watch

[@tonyp2601]

I got mine a few hours ago. There were several buyers also taking delivery of their units. I ignored comments about quality against Japanese brands. The reason for that is my CRV’s compressor conked out on me on the 37th month, or one month after the 3 year warrant expired. My Altis’ compressor also had to be replaced on the 6th year. My Altis weatherstrip also had to be replaced after 7 years. By the way, I made reservation on Sept 22 and got the unit today Oct 31.

[@Horus___.]

You also need to maintain the cars a/c compressor 😁

[@SamA-cy8eu]

Japanese quality isn't what it used to be ever since they started outsourcing everywhere in the world, also Chinese Car quality is good! I bought my Chery Arrizo 7, 10 years ago! And I use it to this day! It has had zero issues! I'm now considering going for the BYD Sea Lion 6

[@keiilala]

The intro does not disappoint! 😮

[@andrewpayoen4205]

This car is truly a game changer. BYD just declared war against Japanese cars.

[@remakeit2628]

The *PARTY TRICK* is a must when parking the BYD, as the portrait view gives you 3 viewing screens instead of 2, and the many views are selectable. So it's actually safer in most instances to just look at the 3 screen views simultaneously to park, than contantly crane your head around to check for cars, obstacles, etc.. Whenever I go into an undercaver parking station the first thing I do is go into PORTRAIT mode. (I cannot do this earlier as the screen glass is polarised like my polaroid sunglasses, so I get a black screen if I do this in normal daytime driving.)

[@kol_kolkol]

this is something to look forward for my next purchase :)

[@JimPaulCS]

It is my opinion that purchasing this vehicle would be a worthwhile investment. I sincerely hope that BYD will introduce a 7-seater model in the near future, as my family is growing. However, if I had the financial means at this moment, this would undoubtedly be my choice for a second car.

[@Claro1993]

Alternatively, there is a 7-seater PHEV in the Philippine market as well believe it or not, and it also starts at ₱1.5 Million too, the DFSK E5.

[@imurgenesis]

[@concernpinoy3412]

it's more like BYD is spending a lot on these KZbinrs and bloggers to promote their cars to those who purchase good luck with the after-sales service you're lucky if they were able to fix your car in less than 3 months and after 4 years what do you think would be the value of your car and it would be hard to sell these Chinese cars because they know that it would be hard to get parts for it. Just so you know, this Chinese brand doesn't consider servicing these cars for a long period of time.

[@RobertPhilipBriones]

​@concernpinoy3412 obviously you havent owned a number of cars based on your comments

[@souk4507]

After visiting Asia this summer, I was impressed about the Chinese EV and my western brain didn’t want to approve that concept. The locals would buy whatever the car based of the value. Now I am looking into buying mom an EV for her daily routine.

[@senseihEnRY16]

So jealous, at that price here in Indonesia, i can't even get the Atto 3. Our government kinda 'hate' hybrid so i won't be surprised if this car could reach 2.3M pesos here.

[@ericespina6747]

Benaran? I thought EVs are cheaper here due to various gov't incentives? I work here in Jakarta

[@carbuncle1977]

sooo.... u can charge it via plug in.. and then if it gets to 20% charge.. the fuel in you tank can serve as a generator to charge the battery too? i see a lot of sealion on the road

[@jnemfarmtibulao]

Good review. Await to see BYD come up with a pickup version.

[@valalpasan4155]

The good thing with this is if you're only driving mostly around the city you might never have to go to a gas station. The downside is you will always have a reason to go for a long drive in order to use the engine and gas 😊.

[@gilbs72]

I like it. I just wait 10 years to see how most BYD cars will last, then might get one myself. My Japanese cars are 17 and 24 years and still OK. Also, a bonus that BYD is not a state-owned corporation so I'm not funding Chinese state aggression against my country.

[@musicfornurses-t7r]

I got people saying to me that they pay taxes to their government, so in a way they fund the aggression against the Philippines and other SEA nations.

[@KaisiirFlynn]

@@musicfornurses-t7rbased on your reasoning, looks like the world is funding the harrasment against the PH. Most european countries and US business have ties with China. Hahaha

This is a lovely car. I just wish that NTC and AFP would come up with a regulating body that would guarantee that these Chinese brand cars does not come with hidden tech (malware in infotainment system, listening and recording device, unauthorized tracking, and whatnot) that can be used for espionage. At the cheap price they are competing, it kind of reminded me of a chinese brand cellphone (brand was Lynx) I bought in the past at a very cheap price but packed with elegant design and tech. Unfortunately, that phone came with a malware fresh from out of the box (sealed before unboxing), so instead of me buying a good product, I became the product. I disposed that phone immediately 2 days after I discovered that it takes pictures and install apps I did not approve nor download on its own. 😱

[@cliffordsy4249]

The problem is now that there are 2 motors to maintain. I know electric motor has less moving parts. But add that to another gas engine... An all EV would still be the better option if you have a garage. I think i will follow Scotty advise and wait til the bandwagon ends.

[@johnyonardpauly5601]

If your current ICE car fuel cost is about php700 / 100km or per week it can cost around 36,500 / year. If using a hybrid/ev can make it half less then you can save php146,000 within 8 years + your extra savings. So yeah, having a car insurance is a big+. The reality is, the only main purpose of buying a hybrid/EV is to save the earth from pollution rather than saving huge amount of money IMO
