BYD announced their Sealion 6 plug-in hybrid this week and are offering a complimentary 7kW wallbox charger worth $1K RRP for the first 3000 orders. Includes 3m type 2 cable. Excludes installation.

Sealion 6 prices;
Dynamic $48,990 plus on roads
Premium AWD $52,990 plus on roads

This is BYD's first foray into PHEV in Australia, and even for this "skeptical about Chinese cars thinker" here, I'm pretty impressed with the specs and prices of the Sealion 6. Seriously considering the Premium, claimed 5.9 secs 0-100, EV range of roughly 80km and petrol/electric range of over 1000km.

    BYD's PHEVs are the epitome of their technology. IMHO, their PHEVs are better than EVs. However, please note that their fifth-generation product has been released, and the Sealion 6 should be using fourth-generation technology.

    Indeed, the current prices are noticeably different compared to the Chinese market, but based on my experience in China, a price war is inevitable as more brands enter the market. So if you're not in a hurry to buy a car, hold on to your money. There will be many surprises in the car market over the next 2-3 years.

    • Haribo on 19/05/2024 - 14:39

      It feels like in China atleast, that it's at the peak of over supply. Brands will have to merge or go bust.

      • choofa on 19/05/2024 - 17:26

        The changes aren’t that significant. The current tech is excellent, high quality batteries and management systems and very efficient and powerful motors.

        EV tech is already making ICE obsolete. It’s only price that is the problem.

        Their cars are still very good. The updated model Y and assuming the model 2 does appear and is as good as their current cars they should continue their current trajectory.

    Just some questions, does PHEV has higher maintenance cost (combustion engine + EV batteries), failure rate (more parts), even more danger in case of accidents ( petrol + batteries)?

    We've put our deposit down on one today. Hardest challenge was picking between the dynamic and premium model.

        Not yet. We saw a few early reviews on YouTube. Our local dealer is hoping to get both options on display in the next 2 weeks. We checked out the Atto 3 and Seal today.

        The deposit is fully refundable anyway. Or you can switch options/colours any time before delivery.

      Had an EV for 6 years now. Never really needed fast charging yet (mine is 3kw max), and that's been fine.

      You just plug in a lot more. At work, shops, sports, dinner, sleeping etc etc.

      People get mixed up with the old petrol ways.

      • kungfuman on 19/05/2024 - 20:39

        in queensland is mostly 3 phase AC chargers at shops, restaurants and cafes, and gyms. They are all around 12kw to 22kw depending on your car eg a model 3 does 12kw max AC and a model S does 22kw AC max in the Tesla world. DC charging is a different story. but most people in Queensland will charger from a public AC charger because they are mostly free, and you can stay as long as you like.

          Public "chargers" need to be fast.
          I'd prefer if they all used VIN identification.

          You get 20mins charge time max. Then move on.

          Couldn't find an available one this week. First time ever.

          • kungfuman on 19/05/2024 - 20:44

            @tunzafun001: no in Queensland you can use public AC chargers as long as you like with out fees, and its free charging. DC chargers from charge fox cost around 45c to 55c depending on speed in queensland. and Tesla DC chargers cost around 60c for a tesla owner and about 75 to 80c for anyone else.

    95 octane is the killer

    Should of gone 91

    • Lord Vandire on 20/05/2024 - 14:41

      Its true, 95 octane is selling for about 10% more than 91 octane and each octane increases power efficientcy by ~1% so you are spending more.

      • Poor Ass on 20/05/2024 - 15:12

        actually kind of think of it they might need it

        there's only 2 situations I know of that requires premium

        1. actual performance cars and no wannabe performance cars
        2. piss weak engines that need higher octane to compensate… like Suzuki Alto 1L engine needs 95 too

        I guess 1.5 engine turbo is still 1.5 and needs the premium to compensate

        If you look at Toyota traditional hybrid the Camry uses 95 and the Rav4 uses 91… It's the same engine but tuned different. People just end up using E10 which is 94 with 10% sugar cane to counter it

        just really sucks using 95… now people will start using E10 on these

    Doubtful BYD will even be in business in 2yrs, locked out of US Market with recent 100% tariffs on Chinese evs, and 99% sure EU will follow suit. Add China's domestic market in a freefall. Hard to stay in business with those massive markets blocking them, and no domestic market.And over 360,000 Chinese evs piled up unsold in Belgium and Germany. And yes hybrids are included in tariffs.

    Was in shenzhen earlier this year, Chinese economy is in total freefall, 80% companies I used to buy from have all collapsed, most my contacts are unemployed, so many closed boarded up shops, lot unhappy people really bad presently.

      I'd put in big money that it will be, 2 years is too easy a bet, I'd let you stretch it to 5 years. It's one of the largest and most vertically integrated EV companies in China, they control their whole supply chain. Even if shut out of US market it will survive on domestic consumption alone. Not to mention the political will in keeping China's EV industry going

      • choofa on 20/05/2024 - 09:27

        Agreed. BYD are one of the few profitable and viable car companies in the world. Most companies are sitting on massive debt and will struggle to survive a downturn. BYD is not one of these. Highly likely that they will be around for decades
