@CompletecarIe4 ай бұрын
Very true
@deepseer4 ай бұрын
Its stock suspension is considered too soft by Chinese users, especially against side swings (e.g. when exactly one wheel runs over a pothole). But there is a suspension modification offered in China (~400 USD equivalent). I don't know whether the models coming to Australia come with the upgraded suspension.

Very good review! With rented Hybrid Camry and RAV4 Hybrids here in Australia I reckon on a country drive they do about 6l/100km. But with the Toyotas the ICE engine cuts in at a very low speed. So you only really get the electric experience in low speed, heavy traffic.
@toyotaprius794 ай бұрын
Toyota's hybrids are unfortunate predominantly ICE without any plugin capacity. Toyota's hybrids perform best in minimal stop starts when there's enough distance between stops to glide in EV and regen before a red light. But in the real world in traffic, that small 1kWh-2kWh hybrid batteries that use only 40-80% of capacity would barely last us 5 minutes crawling.

Do you think you would get it up and down to Cork and still maintain that 5.4L/100kms Dave?? If the Irish Gov would let business's claim back the VAT on Petrol (and they could make the distinction that it would only be with PHEV's and not pure ICE petrol vehicles)........that could be a fantastic repmobile.
@namingshard174 ай бұрын
it's possible for hybrid, BYD's DM-i tends to keep engine running in the most consumption efficient speed, the car mostly uses electric motor, the engine is for generating electricity and it only kicks in when you need extra power or when battery is empty.
@CompletecarIe4 ай бұрын
Suspect it’ll be getting above 6 litres, maybe even 7 on a journey like that. Depends on speed and driving style too. Will put it to the test when it arrives in Ireland.
@dann55153 ай бұрын
If you want the result for 100KM that will be 1.2L/100KM. You will only see more than 5L/100KM if you exceeded over 1100KM in one full charge battery. This is a PHEV meaning you can plug in and charge your car's battery. And enable you to use pure EV mode up to 80-100KM depending on your driving behaviour. Base on this model they claimed one full charge and full tank can drive over 1000KM. So question is.. how often do regular people drive more than 100KM per day? Most regular people dont drive over 100KM per day so than mean you can just drive pure EV mode everyday and your fuel tank still remains full unless you forgot to charge your vehicle overnight.

What we all wanted.....another generic "SUV" (i.e. Stupid Upright Vehicle)🙄. These Chinese cars are the Ladas of the 21st century. For those not old enough to remember, Ladas were introduced to Ireland in the 80's as a cheaper form of motoring but soon disappeared from view when the poor build quality and lack of parts soon became apparent. These Chinese cars will follow Lada into the unlamented memory of motorists.

The EV fanboys (and what I’m starting to believe are paid “positive” commentators on YT extolling their “virtues”) can go on about how “great” these Chinese cars are but the facts are sales of Chinese cars are abysmal. While I have to drive a lot for my job, in the past month I’ve only seen 2 MG’s and 1 BYD. The neighbour who bought an MG has gone back to ICE. Look, unlike China, this is a free country and you can buy what you like. But as the ones who bought Ladas in the 80’s found, you won’t be able to give Chinese cars away in the future. Just look at all the MGs, BYDs etc piling up unsold at European ports.
