Seriously, is BYD good?

[Jacy_Phang]

BYD China just launch a new replacement model of the SL6. Just hope local AD don’t bring it in, in the next 2-3 years if not value tank.

Those Xpeng G6 buyers are facing this problem now. 1 year old car and AD bring in newer model.

Yup. They bringing in Sealion 7 Cat A variant soon. Those that just brought Sealion 6 n 7 Cat B must be damn tu lan. Typical Ah Tiong style of doing business. Ah Tiong think sinkies can change cars like changing underwear.

If all chiong cat a to avoid taxes... Sooner or later cat a coe will be higher than cat b...

By then maybe cheaper to buy cat b liao

Unlikely..probably just very near to each other.

There will always be those that go for ice or hybrid 2litres car..the road tax cheaper than EV cat b.

 

[dev_stg_prd]

for EV it is decent, but the price in singapore is 10-12 times more than that in China which I think is crazy. Thats why the chinese EV makers are laughing at duff sgreans.

does it mean byd markup very high ah

Cat b for road trip to jb. In SG only, cat b not very useful

So byd owner (EV only)
How much range did you get?
Atto, seal, sealion etc

As in any other EV, the advertised range is always BS..actual mileage depend on one's foot. This is just like asking ice/hybrid owners how many km they get per litre of petrol

Ya, it depends on how fat the passengers are, what aircon temperature setting, time idling in with aircon on etc, city or highway driving.

If give you one car foc,

would you want continental car, korean car or byd ?

Is the continental car an EV? Since the Europeans are nowhere near leaders in EV tech, I will still go for BYD, or Tesla. Korean is a non starter.

Why must be ev?

His ran jiao adjust what angle of degrees u Huan lo? its a matter of preference.

even before our green rebate grant, BYD priced M6 at SGD220k. take away the paper, it is at SGD120k which is RMB660k (which I dont understand why they have the courage to set that price level). The didi drivers in china probably paid only RMB100k which is probably around SGD18k.

The maths is pretty straight forward. Anything that comes to our shores will auto mark up multiple times cause Sgreans can pay.

Mark-up? Those are the business profits for taking risk mah. If so profitable why don't you go and setup a shop to sell BYD also? BYD has already appointed a few (not one) dealers in Singapore, so BYD is Ok to have a few dealers (not let one and only dominate).

By the way, OMV of a BYD M6 is S$29,800, and total basic costs (after ARF and GST/Excise Duty and after adding COE) is already S$140,430 !!!

You can compare that to a Mercedes GLA180 where OMV is S$38,152 and total basic costs =S$196,768.

But seriously, Mercedes GLA180 is a thin can powerless car with 1.3L engine that will have problem climbing Genting Highlands' slopes!

Why must be ev?

I like to be green. But more crucially the ride and drive is unparalleled to ICE after test driving Tesla and BYD.

 

[singaporean11]

It’s about branding, pricing la
If today BYD exclusive, sell for 500k then everyone will say it’s very good also

Singaporeans have the mentality that "Expensive" means always "Better" than "Cheap" is it?
No wonder so many got chop "carrot heads" buying Hermes bags or LV bags or Chanel bags, etc!
Or buy Maserati (that always go into Garage for repairs)?

 

[jtjt00]

Edmw keep saying dont buy EVs but now BYD top selling brand riao

Means what

Means what, trouble getting after sale support. BYD concentrates on sale, spare parts need to wait long!
