    BYD claims their DM-i plugin hybrid powertrain can go over 2,000 km (1250 miles) on a single tank of gas, so we decided to put it to the test!

    當中國造出一台2.5L/100km的車子時
    並且經過無數的UA-camr測試成功
    還是會有一堆人拿著放大鏡說著那個微小的誤差是欺騙
    可是當日本車跟德國車造假時
    他們還會說日本車真划算
    德國車品質真好
    然後你不在意油耗只有13km的日本車有著3公里的誤差
    你也不在乎德國車五年後環保材質就報廢了 然後到處漏油

      I recently traveled in China, and I think the main reason they continue to use CLTC is because most people really are just driving around cities and that test reflects this usage. For long distance travel no country in the world can match the Chinese high speed rail system in terms of how fast, smooth, and comprehensive it is. Took me from Beijing to Chongqing in 7 hours flat cruising at a smooth quiet 350 kph. Beats both air travel and road trip when you've got that HSR system.

    For holiday over long range car consume mainly fuel, not using much battery range will drop to as your video calculated ~1,300km or less range (if driving mountain, hilly area)
    Long distance lower range because it uses lot more fuel
    Short distances it uses Battery thus can easily achieve 2,000+km range

    Range is tested under ideal condition. Just like gas car mileage is not normally easily achievable in normal driving.

The European protectionism will only hurt their consumers but not help their car industries since I don't see other countries would want to buy the expensive less range gas cars from Europe. US is a different situation where they don't care at all even if it hurt their car companies but US is going to want to sacrifice the European cars first.

      No need. In fact, Zhejiang province highways to provide free road rescue services. As long as a phone call, they will help you to the nearest service area.

    Hi Wheelsboy you're looking like million bucks in that driver seat, I would buy this car too, But the damn politicians are dictating our life
    They are deciding what car I can drive, As a personal protest, I decide not to purchase any cars in the next 4 to 5 years
    my commute to work plus traffic jam on highways cost me $300 to $350 for gas every month,
    I seriously consider quitting my job and find some work close to where I live given hourly pay only at $16/hour right now

      16? That's fked up, I used to got 27 CAD hourly with monthly gas around 200 and still quit, definitely not worth you time and money to stay

    4.5L/100km is actually quite decent! Way better than any ICE car of that size we have in my country. Wish that BYD would import these here.

      This is BYD's style. Say literally NOTHING about their new car, then launch it, and immediately it is ready for sale with full volume production usually only a couple of months after launch, often with the cheap trims available too. I think delivered well over 10,000 units just in the first month of putting it up for sale.
      Basically the opposite of most western automakers (and Tesla), where they'll tease a car first. Then "launch" it at some auto show, except it'll be another year before actually putting in production, and even then it'll be in low volume initially with only the most expensive trims available to buy and you'll have to wait another year to get the cheaper trims. And that's assuming no delays.

    Chinese car media tested Qin L at a speed range from 70 to 80km/h on highway with AC on to achieve the maximum 2400km range. Two drivers, no rain.
    And moreover, there was a car media "Range Crush Project" did a more hush test: 1 Five strong boys, 2 AC set to low, auto mode, 3 Sports mode, 4 No braking energy recovery, 5 Full tank and fully charged, 6 Drive to "Have to push it to a gas station” (Now you see why five strong boys on board😂). They did 1182.2km on the same model.
