2024 BYD Sealion 6: The BEST SUV I've EVER Reviewed?! Very possibly...

Okay, I did not expect this...
Today we're reviewing the ALL NEW BYD Sealion 6 - formerly known as the BYD Seal U - which is a hybrid SUV from Chinese car brand Build Your Dreams aka BYD. This CHEAP family SUV competes with the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid and Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, but for a fraction of their prices spec-for-spec. So should you buy a BYD Sealion 6 for your family? Honestly, probably yes...

Here at CarSauce, we review every new car on the market. We are a community of sauce givers and we'd love for you to subscribe and join our community!
We give every car "the sauce", test their 0-100km/h, and see whether or not they are worth purchasing and spending your hard-earned cash on.
From time to time, we'll also buy a weird and wacky car and take you on the journey with me! We release videos every Sunday 5pm AEST / AEDT with the latest new car reviews!
Your feedback is important, so if you want to see us do something new or something you would like me to change let me know! Got a question for me? Leave it in the comments! I try and respond to them all!

Bottom line is, competition is great for us consumers. Keep it coming!

[@seanxiong2455]

thats the key benefit as we do not have a car industry in Australia, every car sold at here is imported. So the more competition the better. In China, Toyota Camry Or Mazad 3 base model price is started from about $AU18,000, its just half of the price we have in Australia

[@firstprib7742]

14:25 Its actually 6.2s

[@EJFJ-Corporation]

Yes 7 seconds to reach 100km/h is very slow, 6.4 seconds are required for 2 wheels drive, or 5.7 for the Xpeng X9, or 3.9 seconds for the correct models with 4 wheels drive (X6 or X8)... This is a very convenient value, less is not requested, especially when comfort is not warrantied as it is on Xpeng G6 or better on G9...

[@johnemerson5383]

I think that this and the BYD Shark could be game changers for Australia. I think most of us are not ready to go full EV but would like the much cheaper running costs. To me a PHEV makes total sense. I can either charge it in the day from my solar panels or if the sun isn't shining it can charge it at night on a cheap EV electricity tariff. As long as I can get about 70km's of EV range then almost all of my driving will be electric. On the times when I want to travel further, piece of cake. Just flick the switch to hybrid mode and I've got 1000+km range from a single tank of fuel. I also love the fact that it'll do VTL so when the power goes out, I'll plug the house into the car. Problem solved.

I took the Sealion 6 Premium for a test drive and would say your review is very accurate. Compared to the Seal, I liked that this had an integrated shade for the panoramic roof (not so fussed that the sunroof opened - just something to leak over time), but the seats lack any lumbar support adjustment. The integrated instrument panel rather than the “tablet” style of the Seal is also better in my opinion. One thing I did notice on my drive was a low frequency resonance in the cabin at highway speeds. A kind of thrumming noise. Possibly caused by the choice of tyres. It was something I told the dealer I wouldn’t be able to live with. Hopefully it is only the tyres, because otherwise this is great car for the price. Particularly for places like Australia, where a pure EV struggles to make sense.

The emergence of this car in China, which accounts for one-third of the global automotive market, quickly pushed the previously best-selling German and Japanese cars into a corner. The current sales of these models have sharply declined by more than 65%, and their prices have also dropped by more than 40%. Even the prices of second-hand cars from these brands have collapsed.

VW sells the Tiguan PHEV for 49k euros in Europe, if this goes across sea ain't no way it's going to cheaper than 50k usd. The limited run RAV 4 Prime also was above 50k (yes i know msrp was lower but demand was so high and car dealers were upcharging people). This without a doubt don't have a proper competitor.

[@JanBanan333]

The Model in the Video, in Germany called the BYD Seal U DMi Design, costs 44500€ including VAT, and is in my opinion much nicer than the Tiguan.

Impressive review!

[@siyuanzuo3750]

For a $4000 difference definitely go for the AWD.

[@VonKirda]

Sport ? Utility ?

[@RyanCowan]

I normally say plug in hybrids are the worst of both worlds 😂 Personally, I'd be baffled why someone would buy this over a $55k Tesla Model Y... but I'm biased. None the less, appreciate the awesome review as always dude !

[@user-zf1ed2nc1w]

这台车在中国售价是1.7万美元

[@karinahall4915]

In Europe this model has Michelin tyres.

[@timogronroos4642]

If you compare to RAV4, you need to compare to PHEV variant. It's very close in performance and AWD too.

[@Mububban23]

No PHEV RAV4 on sale in Australia

[@user-vh2ug4up1k]

With voice recognition control?

[@jnaughten1]

Really looking forward to the Sealion 7 EV - This may be the EV we end up buying

[@oscarnavarro9580]

I hate it that it doesnt come with memory seats

[@SonderZensei]

That's good and all but it doesn't look at all like a sea lion. Jokes aside, it looks like the nicest BYD yet.

[@kathyheyne6030]

Looking like one wouldn’t be too terrible- sea lions are sleek- but if it sounded like one and barked all the way down the road? That’d be a deal breaker.

[@ricoswabe18]

actually, it does.. when mine arrives, I'll call it "Whiskers"

[@BDTIG3R]

I need help! Which one: BYD Sealion 6 Chery Omada 5 GT Toyota Rav 4 XSE/Cruiser

[@rodlynch2319]

rav4, rated best in world by satisfied owners

[@tezza8717]

how long will it last

[@frankact6342]

True if Toyota not fired its higher and middle management then they are next NOKIA by BYD

[@tuantuantran]

Would it fit 3 baby seats in the mid row?

[@shawnbai743]

I want one!

[@freakkstyle4]

Hey mate, do you remember it having a seat memory. Guess the Mrs won't just be a passenger in this thing when i get it.

[@Soarbywire]

It’s suppose to be implemented in an OTA update

[@mrx3184]

No physical button or software feature right now.

[@adminmsp1295]

You are the biggest Chinese car maker fan boy. May as well work for them

[@boyiinGG]

You need the EV indicator to be atleast 90% to do the max result for the launch test.

[@amitmou2009]

Need a 7 seat model of this car...

[@MithunOnTheNet]

Oh look, the BYD Cayenne!

[@gul8446]

At this price point its an amazing car.

[@STOLSPEED]

What about that huge sun roof in the Australian summer time??

[@Chi420420]

What is the colour name of the car shown on this video?

[@nicholasleonard5061]

Harbour Grey I believe.

[@ronnraju2163]

I think u should talk abt the drivetrain,power figures and Engines when ur driving as u r running out of things to talk when driving

[@simonarmitage2591]

It’s a great looking Car- this vs Outlander vs Ravi 4 but Toyota don’t bring the phev to AU.

[@kittyflier8338]

Check out the all new Song L dmi. It's the upgraded.
