Heartbreakid 6th Gear March 16, 2022 Share March 16, 2022 (edited) BYD is a strong EV player these days. Their flagship Han is selling like hot cakes. Other than EVs, their hybrid are also very impressive. With a new 1.5 Turbo hybrid engine, can achieve 0 to 100 in 3.7s, claimed to deliver 1000km mileage. Good stuff really.

Lala81 Hypersonic March 16, 2022 Share March 16, 2022 (edited) Why does anyone want to copy a tesla design? Sounds like lazy writing. The best tesla cars are just plain Janes, vanilla ice cream. And some look like dog poop. Edited March 16, 2022 by Lala81 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BYD has got a variety of range from small hatch, MPV, to mid size, and premium, not to mention a couple of SUVs targeting different categories of customer. Their Han model can be considered as their flagship which is a premium model. Seal which is targeting Tesla model 3 is a rank below the Han. Can consider it as an mid executive model.

Heartbreakid 6th Gear March 18, 2022 Share March 18, 2022 (edited) Facelifted BYD Han DM-i Side track abit to BYD Han. The facelifted model had just been launched. Apparently there are two variant, DM-i and DM-p. Both are 1.5 Turbo Hybrid models but the DM-p bias towards performance and 0 - 100km/h is stated to take only 3.7s. Have to wait for actual POV reviews to find out more. Some Audi DNA can be seen, especially the headlights and grille and some S-class DNA in the interior because ex-Audi and Mercedes designers now work for BYD.

Hayhay88 1st Gear January 7, 2023 Share January 7, 2023 Any price reference for Singapore? Atto3 already almost SGD180k,AUD200k in Singapore. I am sure Atto 4 will cost more than quarter mill in Singapore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickster 5th Gear January 8, 2023 Share January 8, 2023 I think the Seal will be very very attractively priced, i don't think it will be priced near a Tesla equivalent , else it won't sell. Typical of BYD, their prices have quite consistently been on the value for money side of things. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
