BYD Sealion 6 PHEV ? Or Sealion 7 BEV?? Episode 70

[@Tonystarkes888]

The sealion full electric would be awesome

[@bydatto39461]

I think so too!

[@Aussie_Stu76]

I am hanging out for the SL7. It will be 2025 for sure. They need to let the SL6 settle in and focus on the Shark as well.

[@warrennalty6599]

I am waiting for SL7 but i have also been looking at the Xpeng G6. It is available now, is similarly priced, but has some features that i don't expect in the BYD, including auto-parking. Zeekr X is almost here too.

Good job!

When the Sealion 07 arrives, I will go and have a look. The range won't really be know until testing in Australia as China persists with the VERY LENIENT CLTC method. If you are looking for ground clearance with outdoor camping in mind - have a look at the Smart #5 specs which will probably come to Australia next year as well.

[@bydatto39461]

Thanks for your comments. I will definitely check it out!

[@fritslevie4461]

I have never had a flat tire in 40 years so no spare tire will be no issue for me. I will go for the Sea Lion 07

[@bydatto39461]

Oooh, you shouldn't have said that! Now you'll probably get a flat!!!

[@fritslevie4461]

@@bydatto39461 Haha, looking forward to it 😄

[@IanIrvin-x4e]

I will be very interested wish they had more dealers in large towns like Ballarat Bendigo

[@bydatto39461]

Agreed!

[@uah7]

I like interior of Sealion 6 more than Sealion 7 because of more headroom and more conservative in the Sealion 6. But I also prefer the EV version of it but looks like BYD would not sell the Sealion 6 EV here. So not decided yet which one to pick.

[@elitechampion]

Sealion 7 will be a better purchase as you'll get sick of charging up the Sealion 6 every day. If you can't be stuffed charging it every day, then you're better off with a normal hybrid like the Haval H6 Ultra which has the same 1,100km range but costs $10k less and never needs to be charged.

[@bydatto39461]

Any full EV is better for me, as I don't miss going to petrol bowser! I will def be having a look at the Sealion 7, I've seen some Chinese Car reviews on it, performance model looks the goods!👍👍👍

[@Soarbywire]

Not if you only drive 20-30 km a day. 2025 SL6 has a larger battery capacity and can also go up to 1500km.

[@sydneyadie]

The boot is not 574 litres

[@bydatto39461]

Car Sales Specs says it is www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/2024-byd-sealion-6-premium-auto-awd/SHRM-AD-642659/ A few sites say this, so these are my references, but I have no way of testing it personally! One things for sure, it's bigger than my Atto 3, which is 440 L, so it looks accurate to me

[@pinecopse]

@@bydatto39461 I believe the sealion 6 boot is 425 Litres, Atto 3 is 440Litres

[@issiewizzie]

in the uk the same they are hiring slow service

[@bydatto39461]

It's a shame it's not better!
