i always heard people say BYD is 网约车 in china... many people in china see byd car no up de.. nama..
TBH BYD is only worth what its worth in china. if got to pay 100k coe in sg, then u better go get japan or euro car better..

 

[sky00sky]

BYD is people use it for grab in china..

fake news china no GRAB

and fake news again..china uses a HUGE VARIETY of cars for the car hailing service, depending on cities and operators.
Geely, SAIC, byd all their cars involved.

maybe not Hong Qi


note: Prior to that China uses VOLKWAGEN and TOYOTA for those purposes

Oh yes.... heard the units just arrived for test drive... Don't really like the styling and specs though...

internal looks better than my aging Jap car.

No money rah.... Porsche prices is ridiculous now lor... Beemer and merc design getting... Uninspired....

The newer audis rather pretty but again.... Don't wanna spend so much... Said this 5 years ago.... 200k is about as much as I am willing to pay for a car... Now with crazy Coe prices. Still valid!! Can't complain leh

New is always better

I used to think I wouldn't mind interior and focus more on driving pedigree.... Until I test drove a 2nd hand car and saw it still had a slot in cd player...

 

[RadEoNic]

I think is generally can buy lah. But whether I buy or not ish separate issue

Wah rao.... beemer design now seem to revolve around getting that pig nostrils as offensively big as possible lor... I feel like I have to shield my eyes when I walk towards the car...

Merc is doing the russian doll thingie like what audi did years before...

Coupes and sports version are exception but neither my knees, back nor wallet can take that kinda abuse anymore

BYD is people use it for grab in china..

Mercedes use for phv in Germany and singapore

 

[raintr33]

this is normal for EV as they can accelerate fast.

More probably they set the regenerative brakes to high, making it jerky instead of a smoother braking.

K3 jiak? Lol. Dont say k3. I upgrade for u. U go take a 2L b&b car. See u can jiak anot. But dont compare max speed. Budget ev max speed is below 150km/h only.

What talking u? I m telling TS dont get the dong feng box due to its low hp n that a K3 can makan it easily.

 

[Jacy_Phang]

Sealion also nice esp the horsepower per unit dollar is worth. If I don’t mind ev I would’ve gotten it

Road tax also jin songz. Seem that sinkies can well afford 2k-3k road tax per year..then again imagine what kind of ice cars u can get if u r willing to pay that same amount of road tax.

Everytime I sit a BYD when book Grab, I'll get motion sickness.

Sometimes it is the regenerative braking that kicks in when foot is not on the pedal ( of course this is dependent on various driving modes / degree of regeneration and how manufacturers implement them )
