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.

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)

If you doubt BYD's reliability we've been using their cars here in Hongkong International Airport 24/7 moving people, moving materials, moving tools, etc for a year and half. My company is doing Aircraft Maintenance we go around the whole airport to check Aircrafts. The only time those cars been able to rest is when we do shift handover.

Damn, I've always blasted brands for taking out physical air controls, especially since you'd have to take your eyes off the road. But that triple finger touchscreen commands is such a smart feature to add to the touch screen, meaning you can achieve your increase and decrease in both temperature and fan speed without looking. Of course I still prefer a knob in the end of the day, but very big props to BYD for actually coming out with viable solutions to that change.

Im just here because you guys are so entertaining to watch

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.

This car is truly a game changer. BYD just declared war against Japanese cars.

The *PARTY TRICK* is a must when parking the BYD, as the portrait view gives you 3 viewing screens instead of 2, and the many views are selectable. So it's actually safer in most instances to just look at the 3 screen views simultaneously to park, than contantly crane your head around to check for cars, obstacles, etc.. Whenever I go into an undercaver parking station the first thing I do is go into PORTRAIT mode. (I cannot do this earlier as the screen glass is polarised like my polaroid sunglasses, so I get a black screen if I do this in normal daytime driving.)

[kol_kolkol]

this is something to look forward for my next purchase :)

[JimPaulCS]

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.

[chitodispo]

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.

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.

[ChristopherSarte-dh]

I always got worried when thinking buying one of these. My concern was the availability of the spareparts, is it available anywhere, if not, are we rely on “Casa” but what if parts are not available or indent item, How Long?

[senseihEnRY]

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.

[reylim]

I hope you can review DFSK E5 base model, same PHEV with additional seating. Thank you. Great review as usual

[jnemfarmtibulao]

Good review. Await to see BYD come up with a pickup version.

[mariannefulong]

Man, you are the best car reviewer in Philippines.
