BYD will have two mid-sized SUVs in Australia this year. I mention BYD because seriously, we’re living inside a revolution right now. The quality of the engineering here is premium/world class, and the price defies belief. The Sea Lion 6 shown here is 25 THOUSAND cheaper than the Mitsubishi Outlander equivalent, and is a much better car. It’s a plug-in hybrid, for those who get range anxiety. It’ll do about 80km on battery alone, and then use the petrol motor as well, as a hybrid, for longer trips. I’ve seen multiple reviews of this car now that couldn’t find a single flaw in it. Not one. Motoring journalists literally gobsmacked. The Sea Lion 7 will be here soon, and is a full electric. You’re getting Mercedes/Audi quality with these vehicles, for cheaper than a Toyota.
