Thanks for a Comprehensive and succinct review. A few onscreen graphics for the specification and price of trims in the range would be really useful. People can screen shot for quick reference and reinforces the commentary. As with all EVs with a slow DC charging speed I can’t help but envisage the frustration when these cars are used for road trips. Range on a full charge doesn’t need to be excessive indeed they are more affordable because they have smaller batteries one of the more expensive components of the car. And typically 2 -3 hours driving before an advised or required comfort break can be achieved. But at only 88kW DC peak - slower in the cold and dropping off as State of charge increases in reality means a miserably long road trip recharging session. I would find it hard to recommend an EV which can’t charge at peak 150kW minimum and has a good charge curve with it. Especially with children slower speeds unduly lengthen a journey and lead to frustration. Of course they’ll be use cases where it is not an issue but a consideration which should consciously be made by any deliberating about having this vehicle and other EVs of similarly low peak DC charging capability.
A very comprehensive review as usual. Please can you check that at 23 minutes in "Cost of Ownership" you say that the warranty is 4 years or 70k miles. The BYD UK website says the warranty is 6 years or 150,000 kms.
With cars like these, why are media websites bombarding us with garbage news that nobody wants EVs? Emphasis on "cars" not ridiculous profit gouging crossovers and SUVs
Wow, some one, somewhere, at any given time, will be struggling to afford or gain access to food. That's an example of a genuine problem! The term "poverty model" in any context, not so much a problem...........period! But if you must insist on being emotionally fragile, then I suppose you are always going to be offended at every turn, as if you have been wronged somehow.

Great car but so much cheaper here in Australia like most other EVs
It's so amazing to have viewers from all across the world. Would be great to meet you on our upcoming meet and greet call!
I've ordered one. The interior is now black only. There's a lot more room in the back than in my current VW Golf.
its a good first car
Did you have to use the expression ‘poverty model’? I stopped watching when I heard that incredibly patronising and unnecessary comment.
😢😢😢😢

Thanks for this comprehensive review. Not a fan of the review while chewing wasp style 🙄
Glad it was helpful
The hype of these vehicles is truly terrifying, and what's even more worse is seeing the chinese types on british roads.
Boo hoo😭
Before we know it, Rover will be building Hondas!
"more worse" - 😂
"truly terrifying" - 😂
"chinese types" - 😂
Calm down, get a grip.
No. Just no
_Absolutely._ Those Japanese cars will absolutely destroy the British car industry.....
@@toyotaprius79 what are you going on about?
@@toyotaprius79 Fun fact: next year Toyota will be using BYD tech, tis year they buying batteries from BYD. The next prius will be BYD.
@@toyotaprius79 Not sure you're aware of this but BYD is Chinese.
