Скачать или смотреть Game-Changing Affordability? (BYD Sealion 5 Plug-In Hybrid 2025 Review: Preview Drive)

The plug-in hybrid market is fast reaching saturation, as new-start Chinese brands pump-out fresh models promising over 1000km driving range and less than 2L/100km. They’re affordable, too, but BYD’s new Sealion 5 could change the price game, if it comes to Australia.

Based on the BYD Song Pro in China, the Sealion 5 has some impressive stats: 173kW, up to 1400km of combined range (CLTC) and in excess of 75km electric-only range. It’s pretty snazzy inside, with faux-leather, seat heating and more.

Chasing Cars road test editor John Law heads to China to sample what could be BYD’s most affordable mid-size SUV, with pricing possibly starting below $40K if it comes to Australia — that’s impressive considering even a base Toyota RAV4 is $42,000 these days. But is the Sealion 5 any good to drive?
