      Apparently BYD has said they are not interested in playing the discount price war like other Chinese EVs e.g. MG and GWM, that's why there have only been small discounts this whole year.

      That's about to change, even Toyota is bowing down to the cutting edge, world class leading technology in a BYD hybrid. They will outfit all their new cars with BYD hybrid technology because they can't beat it.

    Say what you want about PRC cars but if it wasn't for competition we'd be paying way more for mainstream brands.

    Example: 10k price cut on a brand new model. That's unheard of and never would have happened without the influx of cheaper PRC cars. And it goes to show how much mainstream brands are ripping us off.

          I really don't understand why these threads are full of people who have less than zero clue on the actual costs/duties of importing cars defending BYD's profit margins.

          The cost and duties are (profanity) all, especially at this scale. BYD is literally just enjoying further ~$10-20k profits vs domestic sales, depending on the car/trim level. Whether their domestic margins are razor thin/loss-leading/government subsidized is another discussion entirely.

          • clubhonda on 10/09/2024 - 20:43

            @xrailgun: The Porsche 911 GT3 is around $145000 cheaper in Germany than Australia. Obviously it's because shipping costs from Europe are very high and the Australian model is built for the harsh Australian conditions of warm winters and steep roads in Vaucluse

            • Sweetnsour on 10/09/2024 - 21:36

      This gets brandished around a lot and I just don't think its apples vs apples. Yes there are export, shipping and RHD costs, but I 'assume' they are selling in CN with v little margin (or indirectly/ directly subsidised) in a v competitive market but volume market.

      I'd like to see more informed analysis on it, but again I assume they are largely subsidised for the local market.

    Have test driven and its a great vehicle. V smart and brilliant value. About to pull the trigger with a NL, shame its not on the premium but clearly a sign of the times.

    Expect further price drops/ incentives for EV/PHEV's, esp from 1MAY to 30JUN when the EV/PHEV FBT concessions for NL end and when nearing EOFY.

      over priced for a outdated hybrid model that's already replaced with the better Dmi5 engine.

    • supersabroso on 11/09/2024 - 00:42

      Yeah, this car is simply too expensive as it has the exact same range as the Haval H6 Ultra Hybrid but costs an additional $10k. Furthermore, you have to plug it in everyday to pretend it's an EV, pointless. You're better off waiting for the Sealion 7 to come out at the end of the year as it'll probably be the same price as the Tesla Model Y but can last an additional 100km with a bigger battery and functions as a portable power bank with up to 2.5kW of output.

      The $2.5k cashback makes it a bit more feasible, especially if you're not ready to go fully EV but want that EV experience to last a lot longer than a normal hybrid. A very niche car.

  • Kegsta on 10/09/2024 - 18:16

    I like the concept of this car, The first PHEV that actually seems decent without an insane price.

    All the EV benefits with 70kms of range going into town / pick up the kids etc but not being trapped looking for a charger if you want to use it for anything else.

    It should be pretty good bang for buck on the EV novated lease thing it should qualify for.

    I still think its worth holding off a bit longer as prices are only going one way at the moment.

    • skinny on 10/09/2024 - 20:58

      Novated lease charges about 9-10% interest on principal kills it

      • BusMan247 on 11/09/2024 - 00:41

        Doesnt kill at all if you are making too tax bracket. Still really good in range below.
        The savings in fuel for elecricty along is about $7k a year if you fill up like me once a week on 98. Plus novated costs for your insurance. Its quite good, actually.

    Love this car, however consider the fact the same car in China at the moment can be had for $28900 its still too expensive.

    My dad test drove this and then went with Tesla Y, because Tesla Y is about the same price as what you pay in Australia.

    His logic is, its better value to buy the Tesla Y as it cant be bought cheaper elsewhere…………Hmmmm…………….

    And after signing up for one 2 weeks ago and was told the Tesla Y would arrive by the end of September, its now been delayed till the end of October. So what happened to all those unsold Tesla Y sitting at the dock? Are they all gone hence the 1 month delay?????

    • 0FoxGiven on 10/09/2024 - 20:00
      +1

      Except its doesn't matter at all what the price is outside Australia. If they ever drop the price of competing Chinese EVs in Australia to be more in line with China prices, you can be sure that Tesla will have to drop their prices as well (like it has happened multiple times already) or they go bust in Australia. Who is gonna pay ~15-20k premium for a basic non-luxury EV like a Tesla?

      • Aerith-Waifu on 10/09/2024 - 20:23

        A lot of people are happy buying the $63k for the tesla as far as I know.

        • 0FoxGiven on 10/09/2024 - 20:32
          +2

          True but that's because it's not that much more than a similar quality EV in the same segment and some people still think a Tesla is more premium or a better brand.

          A BYD Seal and Model 3 has around ~4k price difference. But if the Model 3 is 15-20k more expensive I think you would have to be really bonkers to buy that over a Seal.

          Similarly if the Sea Lion 7 is priced 20k cheaper than a Model Y, it's gonna kill Tesla

      I wouldn't go with a Tesla only for the fact that there's more discounts coming. Ive seen reports of how Tesla offered a number of rounds of sharp discounting to try and maintain sales, and it is likely they will follow here as well, which means you might immediately be $10-15k underwater as soon as they do that, making resale a nightmare.

        Buying a car because it is closer to price parity in China is a ridiculous reason to choose a car.

        It may be a valid reason, a much lower price in China may indicate more likely price drops later with increased competition, which would mean a higher car depreciation.

        Because these are SUVs shared by helicopter parents.

        All of your listed cars don't need memory seats because the only function is be pinned by the G's.

        For the money they charge for the high spec model I expect everything. My past 3 cars have all had memory seats so not willing to 'upgrade' to a car without features I already have.

        RAV4 Hybrid Cruiser has memory seats so why not in this?

          The money I spent on the Nismo can probably buy a few Sealions and still have money left over but still no memory seat. Oh well to each their own I guess.

      As silly as it sounds, this has stopped me from choosing some cars.

      My wife and I share my work/lease car and our driving positions are vastly different. It's a bother to attempt to adjust and re-adjust the seat back to my position and even if I get it, it somehow still feels off.

      The Sealion 6 is top of the list for my next car, but……. no memory seats. First world problem I know… :\
