Weird question, but does an electric vehicle come fully charged when delivered, like a ICE vehicle does with a full tank (usually)?
There are no weird questions! Just weird people.
If the shoe fits…đź«
Providing you buy from a dealer, they should.
Imagine paying full price then sipping tea at the dealer waiting for it to charge
Honestly that sounds relaxing. I waited at a smash repair place just using their coffee machine and chilling and loved it.
Literally did this today while picking up a Shark, the dealer insisted he couldn't give it to me at 98%
usually they are charged up to 80 or 90%.
Depending on the battery and the car, usually the recommended charge is up to 80% or so anyway, past that it is really (REALLY) slow and not really needed unless you need a full charge on a long road trip.
When I plug mine in at home I set it to 80% max as well.
That's really interesting, had no idea about that. Cheers for the info.
Mine came 100% charge…
this or the BYD Sealion 6 ? hmmm
I don't much about either, but my first instinct would be to pocket the $10k and choose the BYD
Sealion 6 Essential has less than half the EV range of this, and is about half as powerful.
The Premium model is the direct competitor for this (which is also AWD and decently powerful) but still has a much smaller battery (and is the same price - no $10k saving there).
Put in perspective, this car has a battery nearly as big as a second generation Nissan Leaf (which has 40kwh in base spec - this has 35) - as well as a petrol motor. I think they're going to be popular (albeit this is quite an old platform now, relatively speaking).
going to be popular
bro think he Glinda
The Haval GT is in another realm though performance wise.
The Sealion 6 is a very impressive in the flesh. Definitely worth looking at one before dismissing it
I've sat in one to compare to our Tiguan Allspace. It's approximately the same size as a regular Tiguan but the cabin height is a bit lower. I'm 195cm so that is a bit of an issue, and getting in & out without the steering column at max height wasn't super easy. However the interior is really impressive, I liked it much more than I thought I would. For the price it seems like a very good value proposition. If only they make a 7 seat size model…
Can you comment on any other cars in that class that you’ve tried as a tall driver?
BYD is the more recognised and 'premium' brand but hard to argue with the specs.
Compared to the more expensive and comparable price wise Premium model it's quicker, (5 vs 6sec 0-100), and has almost double the battery only range
Crazy how this is faster than a Civic Type R 0-100 and costs 18K less.
lol Petrol vehicles are the kodak of cars
I mean you can get a clapped out golf r for 20k, throw a stage 1 tune and hit 3.6s 0-100 all day before the dsg grenades.Plus it's 2wd vs 4wd
Can this keep up to a type r around the track where it was engineered for? Even if you chuck 18k worth of mods?
I think Mortgagetightass is comparing this car for the average Joe… not some dude who needs to know their oil pressure and exact AFR at every given point of time.
It's for people who want a family car + a pram and shopping in the back that sips fuel but still can beat a Civic Type R at the light who's not letting you merge.
BYD better
easily
Toyota are licensing BYD tech for the next Hilux - that says it all.
GWM are WELL behind the times for hybrid tech.
AFAIK GWM does not have any kind of range extender technology.
GWM builds the electric Mini for BMW, that says something too in terms of what they are capable of
Imagine what you can do with 2 grand.
Would be lucky to cover a month's rent these days
Yep it's a whopping great discount there. You could buy yourself one of those robot vacuum cleaners with a dock, with the savings. Livin' the dream!
How is the fuel efficiency if i don't charge it regularly?
If you're interested in fuel efficiency then you'll definitely be charging it regularly - can you explain the premise of your question?
typed from my phone made in China whilst sitting on grandmother's basement toilet made in China, using her wifi routed through a Chinese made router
i think ur chinese keyboard italic button is stuck
ChiNaH BaD!
No ANCAP safety rating
It's not like they re-do the crash tests on different engine types of the same model. It'll get added to the current 5* report and they'll continue on.
different engine types
Really?
Yeah, one report for all variants (if registered). You can see an example for the Mazda CX-80, one report for petrol, diesel and PHEV. So once they register it (and probably some engineering design justification), it'll just get added as a formality. All the dealers are already marketing it as 5*
Nor does Rolls Royce
Nor do 70 series Landcruisers (2016 5 star rating is now defunct)
Rolls Royce ancap rating: adequate.
obviously, since it's not in Australia yet. You can look to the current gen H6GT for reference which is 5*
Much sportier looking than BYD!
Gotta love the "FREE" marketing. For something to be free, It means you should just be able to walk in, they hand it over without paying a cent and you walk away with said item. Instead you need to pay $53,990, to recieve the charger along with the car. That being said, looks to be a decent value deal.
HAVAL = rubbish imo
If you're going to get something like that, get a BYD, a billion times better!
GWM/HAVAL is actually the Toyota of chinese vehicles.
MG/SAIC not so much.
Yep, Toyota, while being excellent cars, are massively overpriced in Australia.
Yep,
How to sell cars in Australia 101.
Engineer an extremely reliable engine in the 2000's
Sell it in huge quantities and don't innovate on it for years whilst keeping the same bland interiors.
Profit.
Basically Australians just want something that works and will get them from A-B with minimal fuss.
Already discounted as it's released lol
@shxhshzhz Not uncommon for a first edition. You should look up the presale discount for the original Toyota GR Yaris!
lol
Chinese are on a relentless onslaught with nowhere left for others to hide.
Yep. It's more than just car industry too. It's soft power. I've never seen Chinese manufacturing and export discussed as positively as it is currently, not have I personally thought so well of it. But the fact is they are doing a good thing while traditions car brands have been caught with their pants down.
This is a sick car.
I would buy it just to drag mums off at the lights, but i know depreciation will be a bitch.
Maybe in 3 years when they're going for $20k.
0-100kmh in <5s.
"Maybe" is the secret code here: you talk shite ?
Depends how fast it depreciates.
If it hits $20k i will put my money where my mouth is.
Still waiting on any reviews myself to try and make a decision. Sucks the PHEV FBT benefit via Novated lease finishes end of March
Yeah they have really timed this poorly if it's not going to be delivered by the end of march. cutting it very fine
No reason to neg though?
Hows that worthy of a neg becuase you dont like its $50k???
You have a fair point, although the neg may be for the downvote of the deal?
I imagine there's a lot of car loans out there.
It's financial suicide to take out a loan on a depreciating asset.
4 mil+++ in assets and can't afford 50k?????
I didn't say I couldn't afford it. I am just shocked by how many people can. If every car I have purchased cost $50k. I wouldn't be comfortably retired, I would still be working. I live by the saying, spend the stuff that jingles, not the stuff that folds.
I didn't say I couldn't afford it.
If you didn’t say this then why bother mentioning you’re top 10% in assets?
If you purchased $50k car every 8 years, that’s only 400k. Nothing compared to 4mil. I didn’t know 10% difference can be the difference you not retiring
What do you spend your money on?
$50k isn't that much money these days. Not that I'd spend that much on a car, you can get a perfectly good second hand one for less than $10k.
Can they deliver by March 31? Otherwise the novated lease FBT exemption will be gone, this is a major consideration for heaps of buyers
whether they can deliver before 31st March will make or break this deal
looks nice. can't wait for a test drive in Melbourne
Excellent
