"Why l cancelled my Tesla order....", long term loaner from Ford. Does that ringing bell give a reminder? And so true, no invoice, no tax, just some keys and no worries. That's called a tax free endorsement. This alignment with Ford, particularly when a reviewer experienced a dodgy personal Raptor and might need some encouragement to be kind, brings the game of vehicle reviewing into disrepute. Probably a misinterpretation of the that video in question. All good. I'm sure a Ford v BYD v anything else in the future will be fair.
@@888redducatiAll cars we review are supplied free of charge. Not sure we get your point? It’s the same as every media outlet in the world. And yes - Paul paid real money for his Raptor and his Teslas…and his Supra. The same price anybody else would pay. Like we said regarding the Shark previously - we are waiting for BYD to supply us one to test at the same place we test every other car. All the videos published to date were at a curated course created by BYD for influencers and media. We should get our hands on one soon.
@@CarExpertAusI really love Paul’s review! I am planning to order a shark, but really want Paul’s opinion before I make the final decision. Look forward to seeing your review soon!
Toyota and Ford will definitely lose sales to BYD.... I've been a Ford fan for the past 13 years. Owned over 6xT6 rangers. And I can't wait to trade in my ranger wildtrak for a Shark.
Kia Tasman...it does look funky.. Initially i thought WTF? BYD Shark..is gonna sell well.. I know 3 of my mates that placed amd order..one traded in his 2023 Ford Ranger Base model i think..
Toyota and ford have nothing to worry about? 😂 Those of us who can remember will recall Valiant, Dodge, Leyland, Chrysler and Bedford saying the same thing about Datsun and Toyota in the 60s/70s..... The speed in which china is innovating is terrifying for the major legacy brands and they are 100% worried about brands like BYD 😂, the only hope they have is tarrifs and sanctions to protect their home markets but they have both lost the east asia market places, which was a gigantic chunk of their revenue, and that has been absorbed by brands like BYD.
Ford and Toyota should be very worried. Spoke to one Brisbane dealer. They sold 30 sharks yesterday alone! The ranger PHEV is around $40k dearer and only offers 40km range. I'm a ranger fan but why would I get one?
The Shark and Ranger PHEVs should not be directly compared. One is an ICE ute with EV bits bolted on and the other is pretty much the opposite. The Ranger elec only power is 75kw and has a 12.8kw battery. That should be leisurely, and good luck achieving the stated 45 klm range. The Shark is 185kw elec only and 80k range. You would probably not buy the Shark if towing is a priority, but then you probably wouldn't go for Ranger PHEV either. The diesel will quite likely match/beat it on fuel consumption too... Oh and then there's the price. Stand by.
Kia Tasman ... what happened? who designed the front and based on what list of requirements and design queues? those lights are prone to being damaged very quickly ... they should be placed where the edges of the front grille is
The Tasman looks as if it is a blind car - no 'eyes'. Had two corollas over 15 years - one burst a radiator pipe on a hot day and that was the total problems I had with the two of them. Cheap to service, utterly reliable. Love them. Also, until the end of the video I wondered who the 'sook' was in the office!! Congrats on the 500K!
Legacy car makers have been taking the consumers for a ride for decades (pun intended) as they have all been doing the same things giving us the minimum and asking premium prices for products, knowing they had a captive market. I mean you can’t just start a new car company every day, as it needs a huge amount of funds and development, it is a very technical and restrictive industry. China has changed the game in this segment, as they pivoted towards EVs and PHEVs and now have the latest tech, they have automated the process of making cars and can bring a lot more value to the customer at a much cheaper price. As they say let the market decide and market is deciding legacy car makers are feeling the pinch everyday.
Hilux and Ranger has a lot of “pencil sharpening” to do with the emergence of the BYD to be competitive.Seeing that they are already in or above that price range with current models on offer. I think they have a lot to worry about as the pond they are fishing in is getting smaller. From a Hilux driver I might add 😂.
Lightbar and spotlights would fix front end some guard extensions and mudflaps bit of black paint... Price might be under competition... Bronco is kind of similar box shape... US video had different engine not maybe full off road version later...
Max (green shirted guy) is speaking nonsense that EV ownership is not ideal for a one hour commute and is best suited to city life. He implies he can charge at home and is dismayed it will increase energy bill, yes but at just @ 8cents per kilowatt hour off peak rate ($4.50 for 350kms at freeway speeds) it is rather a lot cheaper than ICE! We live 100km from Melbourne day trips in and out are a breeze. Those who can charge at home also have opportunity to charge for free between 11am-2pm. Disappointing FUD regarding the very basics of EV ownership from “experts”
There could be lots of reasons Max can’t charge at home easily, however surely he can charge at work. With CarExpert being car experts, they must have put in the infrastructure
@@Kenno62 ripe for an installation sponsorship deal, assuming worst case they will need to upgrade supply from street to cope with a gaggle of EVs charging. Perhaps the best thing to come out of this podcast is a report on costs involved with a business installing AC or DC chargers. I say DC as at a recent MELB trade show 30kW DC chargers were US$4k ex China. Installation of a single DC charger(with two ports) may be preferable to providing several AC chargers.
The cost of living is like a quarter here. China is a very in demand market for good workers so they are being paid well. Materialistically, they are not behind their western counter part.
Saw the Kia Tasman today in camouflage test driving on the Western freeway Victoria which is appropriate because Victoria has the worst roads in Australia thanks to the State government.
I initially hated the tasman styling, but after seeing it on my recommended feed on youtube more than a couple of times, I'm ashamed to admit that it's actually growing on me :/
4:50 Kia should do full size pickup compete with converted US vehicles that cost to convert to RHD... Be alot cheaper built rhd... Could have large SUV version...
Love to see a comparison of basic repair costs… byd centre rotating screen looks like it will break easily but how much to replace? Headlight and side mirror replacement cost?
@@curlzbean they are the top 2 biggest of EV sales in the world, the majority of their cars have that rotating screen quirk and has never had an issue. Im guessing they know what they doing considering they have more engineers working in the R&D section alone than many of the car companies in the world have as their total employees list. Ford Employs a total of 170k employees at their factory, while BYD has 900k, and 110k of those employees are working purely in the R&D section which Ford could only dream of.
Kia is frightful, they coulda got away with it if they launched with Launch edition fitted with aftermarket gear and either their 3ltr diesel or the stinger engine, and then snuck the ugly and boring shit in underneath? Dmax is another miss, too many stickers and shit and now power uogrades on a very understressed engine that loves extra boost.
They utilised the V2L, running cables to the important appliances like fridge and coffee machine. Kept everything fresh for the days without power and only burnt through a small amount of the Seal battery - they had enough to drive it back to town when the power came back on. I believe they are now looking at a battery system for the house.
Not really a fan of this side of CarExpert. Feels very inauthentic. Like you've walked into a conversation of workers in a multinational corporate building with HR listening in. Very unnatural conversation for Aussies that don't work in the corporate environment. Great car reviews. Inauthentic podcast. 2cents added.
How can people say the interior and exterior looks better than a Ranger or Hilux? It definitely doesn’t, it looks like a cheap disposal Chinese design, like it is
Rubbish comment. Why is BYD so cheap? “I don’t know It’s good value and they sell a lot here!” - gee I wonder if it’s subsidised by Chinese government…
If the Chinese government wants to give us cheap cars then who cares. Oh and if you think privacy is a concern, Kia/Hyundai are actually reported to be one of the worst so you can’t escape it with any brand…
That's just intellectually lazy to regurgitate such nonsense without any nuance. Yes China subsidized their EV, just like the US and Europe, but the main difference that its got the battery ecosystem that no one can match, labour cost are much cheaper, design and development are much more streamlined due to technology and manufacturing clasters etc... That's why you see DJI is so successful, western companies would not made as good of drones even at tripple the cost if they use local parts and factories.😂

I was about to purchase a Ford Ranger XLT but decided to go with BYD.
So yes, they are losing customers 😂
Ford Ranger belongs in the museum.
Yeah I don't get that comment.
Test drove a Sealion 6 and I have to have one now.. I don’t care the fuel consumption but I enjoy the quietness and smoothness
I drive a BYD Hybrid in China, which is about 20,000 kilometers per year.About 2200 kWh and 120 liters of gasoline per year.This is the third year.
It looks way better than a boring ranger. It'll be more reliable as well . People are so safe and conservative here. Good to see something different.
Kia Ute designers were inspired by Mahindra and SsangYong. The BYD definitely wins out of those 3 lineups.
BYD just straight up copied a Ford F-150 😂
It seems like F-150, but it is different.

byd got former VW designer as cheif designer no wonder how they make so much progress in terms of design in such short of time
Well im swapping my 2023 ranger platinum for the shark. Give it a go. The shark is so comfy

Hi, have they fixed the bump steer / steering knuckle issues with the Isuzu D-Max Blade?
Leapmotor’s name in Chinese 零跑，got the same pronunciation as leading runner in Chinese. So maybe that somehow got translated to Leapmotor..
I don't mind the look of the Tasman in the sandy colour, but the engine is a deal breaker, they should have had a V6 Diesel option
so which do you pick the tasman or the cybertruck for whats is better
Kia Tasman & Isuzu D-Max performs awesome !
