Well the sealion has been in the market for a while now. First month the insurance quotes were over 1k for it too.
To be fair I have test driven it but I wouldn't go for it.
Lovely interior; very plush but not better than the IM.
After this; everything is subpar.
Prices; massively inflated for the BYD.
Charging speeds; only the top spec which is almost £60k has decent one (230 kw/h). The other two very slow.
Efficiency, really really bad.
Technology, not great. Forget dashcam, auto-parking, even the indicators pop up the cameras only at speeds up to 10 mph.
Driving behaviour; really good on the motorway but drives like a boat when on B roads or in a city. The suspension is super soft so when you hit a speedbump or a pothole is takes a while to stop going up and down. A road near my house has a number of speedbumps ridiculously close to each other. When I drove it through there I almost became nauseous. First time this happened to me in a car since I was 10...
