The BYD Sealion 07 is priced between ¥190,000 and ¥240,000 in China, which translates to around $26K-$33K USD. 5 months after its release, as of November 2024, it ranks 123rd in the new energy vehicle sales chart, with 5,886 units sold in a month. Marketed as the "Model Y killer," it's still far behind Tesla's Model Y, which boasts 45,000 monthly sales. And this is with the backing of a "Chinese brand." How much is this car selling for where you are? Would you consider switching from a Tesla Model Y to the BYD Sealion 07? Drop your thoughts in the comments below - we want to hear what you think!
nice one, keep it more with such content. Many people interested in Chinese EVs looking forward for such detailed reviews based on user experience (and ofc new cars on market)
Great no nonsense video of introducing the car. Have seen too my foreign reviews glorifying this car as one of the best in the market without really mentioning its shortcomings. I guess from the monthly sales figures you have attached, the Chinese consumers still believe in purchasing reliable foreign brands over local marques?
actually Chinese brands has taken the lead in sales for 2024, gas cars and BEV in total. and even though VW and Toyota still stand in 2nd and 3rd, their figure drop a lot while the 1st, 4th, and 5th(all Chinese brands) made their positions with double-digit increase. from the stats i have to say 2024 is a lose game for foreign cars. But in terms of reliability, there's still some time before we really see a full blown crisis for Chinese EV, if there is one.
@@ysc1692 Xiaomi or AITO should be the first for now, according to statistics. But it has a much smaller sample pool than BYD so i think not very big gap between them
BYD has a problem with battery density, it has fallen far behind, BYD needs to implement Blade 2.0 batteries in all its vehicles and reduce the weight or increase the battery kw to increase the range up to 700 km necd or 600 km wltp at least.

I am from Eastern Europe Country in UE Federation; Sealion is not avaible yet here but price will be estimated close to the main rival Tesla Y (around 50.000 euro). Tesla have one significant CON in Cental and Eastern Europe - it is their charging stations which are cheaper than privates one and easier to acess. But BYD (and general Chinese brands) have diffrent approach - they are building the dealership network and then making infrastructure (althought this is the way what they are doing in the Eastern EU) - we will se e which approach will be better for future expansion, because from news and people feedback Tesla have still upperhand in central and West Europe, but Eastern Europe is still "not ready" for electric cars in terms of price and infrastructure. The Chinese brands exaclty knows that and thats why petrol cars like MG, DongFeng, Omoda etc have upperhand and are so popular (MG HS, ZS and Omoda 5 often have TOP10 selling cars in Eastern and Southen Europe, which is a brilliant result)
like you said they take different approaches, which is assumingly related to the marketing tactics or local circumstances. tesla may have deemed it more efficient to offer cheaper electricity than cheaper cars, while Chinese ones like BYD are trying to take advantage of the car's affordability. for this point I would expect Sealion to be about 20% cheaper than Model Y, just like it is in China.
I have heard of Adas issues, telsa autopilot much better, & the suspension is too soft. Not released in the UK but looking forward to test driving it. Tesla in Europe & US has its own chargers, this is where not only Chinese but European legacy manufacturers are at a big disadvantage. Whilst the car may look or have better grade of materials, the long term use scenario has to include a good charging network with excellent rapid charging speeds like 300kw per hour should be standard. In UK and Europe vast majority of chargers are like 150KW, way behind tesla has 250 & some 350kw.
BYD hasn't it's own charging network, which has also never been one of its business. but they have announced their plan in battery-swap business of building over 10000 stations in China and that might be something the industry will be looking at since this year.
@@ChianwrongwongIf the government mandates it and provides subsidies, more charge points will be built. The US is in a better state now, with manufacturers increasing the charge rates to meet the needs of newer vehicles with fast charge capabilities. With Tesla’s plus becoming the standard and other manufacturers changing their charge ports over, the Tesla network is now accessible to others and Tesla drivers can now charge almost anywhere. I feel it makes sense for manufacturers to contribute to a fund to increase charge points and not just make their own and have them accessible for their own vehicles.
@@WareToGo_WTG Since the range was measured under a specific set of conditions, it's common that there are some differences between the reported range and the actual range. Indeed, the owner's complaint about having a smaller range in cold weather and highway is pretty normal. The faster you drive, the more is the back current generated and that reduces the charge available. It is also normal to have a reduced range when you turn on the AC or heat pump which can consumes a significant amount of energy. The guy thought you were biased probably because you did not guard people through these ideas and made it sounds like BYD was dishonest about the range.
My Parents Ha e The BYD SEAL U 🦭 since 21 oktober it have gone over 7000 km it's lovely to drive way better then my mom's Peugeot, that's looks the the Citroen Berlingo. It's differently the best cars they have had, other cars before that was. Skoda. Hyundai i10,i30. Matrix. Peugeot 106 the the Peugeot that look like a berlingo
good for them! I can only imagine the happiness of finally landing on a nice car that is going to carry so much more in the future. And we are actually planning on reviewing a Seal U this week and it's expected to be released soon. stay tuned!

좋은 리뷰네요 대부분의 해외 리뷰어들이 전부 하나같이 좋은점만 얘기하고 실사용 단점들을 얘기하지않던데 디테일한 단점에 관한 이야기들을 수첩에 다적어서 실차주에게 물어보는건 아주 훌륭하고 칭찬할만합니다😊
thank you so much! BTW is the Korean subtitles working fine?
@@WareToGo_WTG 네. 잘 나옵니다.
매우 정확하지는 않지만 내용을 이해하기에는 부족함이 전혀 없습니다.
Отличное видео, побольше таких с реальными отзывами от владельцев китайских электромобилей. Я из Беларуси, у нас очень популярны BYD, Zeekr, LiXiang.
Chinese cars will become more and more popular in the future.

Great video thanks. Very informative from a owners point of view. Would have been nice to of had mr Zhou’s comments translated.
we made sure the subtitles available in more than 20 languages, plz check again and let me know if anything isn't working fine

that's exactly the point. it's just been too long since they started using the gen 1 blade battery in 2020. the gen 2 would come out soon so we'll see
In UK entry and mid will have 1:0 still very good batteries but the top spec will have 2:0 and 800 volt charging.
@@WareToGo_WTG Yes, I'm researching BYD vehicles, and I think I'll wait for the new models with the V2 battery to come out instead of buying one now.

One video of unboxing cars, so interesting!!!

What you call "queen's seat", we call in Hungary "the seat for the mother in law", because that is the most damaged spot in accidents.
that's funny hhh
看出来了，小黑子。
比亚迪磷酸铁锂电池注重一个便宜，耐操，剧烈冲撞不起火。你非要说它续航不达标，充电慢之类的，那就是纯黑。
哈哈，您说得对。
按照你的逻辑，因为磷酸铁锂电池便宜，所以续航不达标就不能说了？说了就是黑子？CLTC国标本来就虚标严重，WLTC的工况根本也没有考虑气温的影响。车主购车本来就应该参考全天候全季节的续航情况。另外谁说BYD的电池耐操不起火？你说的吗？我们附近小区车库刚自燃了一辆，顺带烧了旁边几个车。你还是会墙内去看车评吧，谢谢你、

事实也算黑么

gotcha!
缺点也是没有BYD 充电站。 TESLA有。 电车大家也是差不多。 也是来代步 充电， 省钱也是很重要。 其他也是次要
充电的基础设施在中国都已经被政府牵头搭建好了 除了小部分想以超冲为卖点的品牌以外，大部分厂家没有动力 也不需要去做基建
@WareToGo_WTG 香港的充电站今天还可以。 但是也是需要等。 最好也是有house。 自己晚上充电就没有麻烦。

It would be helpful to translate
there should be 22 languages of subtitles available, plz try again and let me know if it's working well
@ thank you i will
Did you script the text? (:
@ yes☺
@@WareToGo_WTG thats why! Awesome thank you (:
Why do you call that car an extended range when it's really the standard range? That's the base battery for that particular model.
this is the long range version, 610 km
굳이 한국 리뷰어들꺼 나오는거 안봐도 충분히 이해 가능했습니다. 다음편은 실내에 관해서 리뷰하는 시간을 가지면 더 좋을꺼 같습니다.
какова цена?
it's right there in the video, my friend...and next time maybe in a language we all speak
It seems that BYD's quality control is very poor
indeed
'battery wasn't even standing straight up'? That's a strange way to put it. Sounds like you are working your own bias into this presentation.
then what do you think is the best way yo put it?
