Its come to our attention that some of the data provided in graphic at 16:01 is incorrect! Specifically, the battery capacity and 0-100 km/h time were actually those of the Yangwang U8, not the Bao 5. The correct battery capacity is 31.8-kWh and the 0-100 km/h time is 4.8 seconds. We regret the mistake!

The most complete package out of any of the newer BYDs. Already a good seller in China, and surely will be a killer down under!

[Briggsian]

If this were able to be sold in the NA market, it'd be a huge hit. So much of the stuff you guys review is such a tease to the US/Canada market.

How the hell Chinese car advanced so much in such short time!

[manimalworks]

Just yesterday, Reuters reported that some of these hard to get Chinese cars had become status symbols in many countries, especially in Middle East and Central Asia. Surprise?

We dont have the Bronco Sport in this part of the world (had to google it) but I think this car looks so much better.

15:15 I actually like this "feature" in cars, I hate over-precised steering wheels. Its so relaxing, on long trips, on the motorway to hold the wheel and not constantly having to adjust tiny bit to left or right

[cheungchingtong]

Wow boy, you got some either China-haters or Tesla fanboys down here in the comment section.

[dennistinga]

Sometimes less is more... This could be a less stressful version of the u8

[Thinkofwhat]

Wow!! French Devialet speaker system. Ain’t bad at all……very good actually:)

[hossainleen]

this looks more like the new land cruiser than the land cruiser itself!!

[willemm]

Interesting to see that all menu's can be in English. Looks like they're really planning to export this soon.

[zodiacfml]

The exterior is going to sell in any region of the world. China knows how to make hybrid powertrains, large batteries, small turbo engines. Toyota, pioneered hybrids, but nothing exciting ever

[franksun]

9:06 Oh that’s a decent door closing thunk!

[nesarsultani]

This looks much nicer than Ford Bronco.

[NeutralGenericUser]

Awesome review! I love this car, and the price is insane. I wish I could buy it in Canada. I gotta say, I disagree regarding the styling. I actually think this looks amazing, and nothing like the Bronco Sport. IMO, it has more similarity to a Land Rover Defender

[deepseer]

Calling it "not a EREV" is not accurate. It has a series-parallel powertrain: series mode (EREV) at low speeds and parallel mode (traditional European PHEVs) at high speed. That's the reason why it has very high fuel efficiency when running on fuel.

[Syafik]

The build quality is perfect, I hope this car penetrates the Malaysian market.

I had to google the Bronco Sport to see what it looks like. There _is_ quite a resemblance, but before you had said that, I thought it had a bit of 2015-ish Mitsubishi Pajero about it, with Ford Ranger-ish headlights

[Brick-Life]

This looks like a very fun car to drive around
