I got mine a few hours ago. There were several buyers also taking delivery of their units. I ignored comments about quality against Japanese brands. The reason for that is my CRV’s compressor conked out on me on the 37th month, or one month after the 3 year warrant expired. My Altis’ compressor also had to be replaced on the 6th year. My Altis weatherstrip also had to be replaced after 7 years. By the way, I made reservation on Sept 22 and got the unit today Oct 31.
Japanese quality isn't what it used to be ever since they started outsourcing everywhere in the world, also Chinese Car quality is good! I bought my Chery Arrizo 7, 10 years ago! And I use it to this day! It has had zero issues! I'm now considering going for the BYD Sea Lion 6
Finally! I've been waiting for this review from AutoDeal! Although I already have my SL6, I got my unit on October 2 and have already driven it for over 1,000 km, with a remaining gas range of 640 km. I should mention that I've been able to recharge fully around five times. Basically, as long as you have access to a charger or charging station, one full tank can easily exceed the 1,000 km range.
EVs Exposes the Illusion of Legacy Luxury Cars, Legacy brands Japanese & European, often struggle with electric vehicles (EVs). The challenge isn’t just price, as their cars have always been 50-200% more expensive in some markets. The issue stems from the "exposure effect," where the industry’s mystique fades. Historically, buyers knew to go Japanese for reliability, European for luxury, and American for a unique style, while new players struggled to break in. Korean brands pushed hard but often lacked the margins, cost efficiency, or supply chain to truly compete, as combustion engine technology had plateaued with costly, marginal gains. European brands built their premium image on craftsmanship, performance, and safety. But as Chinese brands entered the EV space, they bypassed this old game and introduced EVs that offer 90% of what Legacy brands provide but at a lower price. Legacy brands feel exposed as the advantages they built over decades-like balance and weight distribution-lose relevance in EVs. Even newer players like BYD, and now Xiaomi, offer EVs with natural balance and sports car-like handling, disrupting the market that Tesla first shook. The game has shifted, and legacy brands must adapt or risk fading out.
Chinese EVs make the industry more competitive, it's a win-win situation for all buyers. I wonder how much more these japanese/europian and even korean EVs cost if chinese brands don't drop these bombs.
Here in Mexico BYD is growing very rapidly, 3 months ago, I took ownership of the SONG plus SUV, and I am impressed with the quality of the vehicle and it'sincredible efficiency( Former Audi,Mercedes and BMW owner)
So jealous, at that price here in Indonesia, i can't even get the Atto 3. Our government kinda 'hate' hybrid so i won't be surprised if this car could reach 2.3M pesos here.
After visiting Asia this summer, I was impressed about the Chinese EV and my western brain didn’t want to approve that concept. The locals would buy whatever the car based of the value. Now I am looking into buying mom an EV for her daily routine.
It is my opinion that purchasing this vehicle would be a worthwhile investment. I sincerely hope that BYD will introduce a 7-seater model in the near future, as my family is growing. However, if I had the financial means at this moment, this would undoubtedly be my choice for a second car.
The good thing with this is if you're only driving mostly around the city you might never have to go to a gas station. The downside is you will always have a reason to go for a long drive in order to use the engine and gas 😊.
Thank you so much for your car reviews specially ev's and phev's. It would be nicer if you kindly include maintenance factors specifically the electrics.
From what I know, this is a series hybrid right? Not parallel, which is what most pinoys know and understand. I do think series hybrids are better than parallel ones.
It's technically true but there's a caveat on it. The BYD's sold in China are the ones without the, shall we say, rigorous quality control. The ones that we buy here are for export usually to the EU so it's definitely well built barring the normal cost cutting of piano black plastics, lighter plastics for the dashboard, etc. so the adage still stands but it only applies to those actually sold direct in their market since 95% of any videos of BYD's on fire is scrubbed from their social media there to protect the international prestige that they built.
@@romelguevarra9710Yes you're correct since it has a smaller battery than a pure EV, it's going to be cheaper. So my question now is, how much will it going to be? Since i'm saving up for our 2nd hybrid car.
If your current ICE car fuel cost is about php700 / 100km or per week it can cost around 36,500 / year. If using a hybrid/ev can make it half less then you can save php146,000 within 8 years + your extra savings. So yeah, having a car insurance is a big+. The reality is, the only main purpose of buying a hybrid/EV is to save the earth from pollution rather than saving huge amount of money IMO
Ask that after 8yrs of buying your ev car. Coz by that time, the cost of an ev batt would probably be much lower than now. Saka matagal ang buhay ng lfp batt @@paolosy1293
@@johnyonardpauly5601Not enough reason to own an Ev yet bec 1. I cant afford it 2. Let the technology mature more & let the manufacturers improve their products. 3. Observe what happens to the battery and car after the 8 year warranty.
I'm getting 16kmpl with CRV gas. For 80kms, that is 5 liters @65php/liter = 325php. Charging this with a consumption of say 20kWhr @ 13php per kwh = 260php. Do I get the mathematics right?
Ethanol-gasoline blends have a shorter shelf life of two to three months. Fuel stabilized gasoline can last between one and three years under optimal conditions. Gas stored in a car tank begins to degrade in just about a month.
And since you still have the ICE, you need to carry out PMS similar to conventional ICE cars. There are also studies that vehicles with batteries are not that GREEN after all.
Nasasaktan yung Toyotards na ang tanging alam nila is “ReLiAbiLtY” kasi wala naman na rin inoffer si Toyota na advanced tech lol Their top spec Camry only has 9-in touch screen at 2.4M value hahaha Imagine this SL6 priced at only 1.5M? plus hybrid!?
Another incredible video! Seeing all these exotic cars makes it tempting to dream big. But when it comes to buying one, getting a solid financial plan in place first is so important. For anyone seriously considering an exotic car, or any high-end investment, having a reliable financial advisor can make all the difference. I’ve been working with an incredible advisor, Stephanie Janis Stiefel, for years, and she’s been amazing at helping people make smart financial moves. Plus, she’s got a great track record online, so she’s easy to find if you’re interested. Buying a car like this is a big step, so make sure you’ve got someone in your corner
Completely agree with you! Stephanie Janis Stiefel helped me save up and invest smartly before I bought my first Porsche. She’s great at helping you see the bigger picture so you’re not just buying on impulse. It’s a game-changer
This is exactly what I need. I’ve been thinking about getting a McLaren, but I know it’s a huge investment. Does she help with budgeting out all the other costs involved too, like maintenance and insurance?
@@ArataHaru-n1tshe definitely does! I’ve worked with her for about three years, and she’s super thorough. She went through every detail with me when I was buying my Lamborghini, maintenance, insurance, even potential resale value. I wouldn’t have been able to make such a smart choice without her.

BYD killing everything!

Alternatively, there is a 7-seater PHEV in the Philippine market as well believe it or not, and it also starts at ₱1.5 Million too, the DFSK E5.
BYD Tang DMi in time will come to our shores.
Byd tang can be procured through byd casas. Steep price tho
Cars are not an investment, they are a liability. Buy a house or lot instead
A vehicle can only be called an investment if you make profit out of it.
Great Review

It’s 18.3 Kwh. So roughly 237php
