BYD Sealion 6 DM-i

[Motortrend]

oo nga naman!
aftersales.
piyezas.

i read of horror stories of languishing waits for common-enough spare parts that any decent car provider should have ready stock on...

Could also be due to the high demand that the manufacturer prioritized new car deliveries vs. spare parts stocking.

Personally, medyo disappointing lang kasi BYD is locally handled by AC Industrial.

Nung 2018, they handled Kia Philippines and one of their main focus was parts availability. Nag labas pa nga sila ng articles about their stock inventory sa Laguna.

Fast forward to 2025 and they are still having the same issue with BYD.

Personally, this is the same reason why we can never pull the trigger to buy a Ford. Dami kong naririnig na issues with parts and technical knowledge ng mga technician nila.

Mahilig kasi sa profit ang ford. Strategy yan na huwag gawing matibay ang mga parts para maraming bumili ng pyesa kahit new model pa lang.

Advertised Battery Range of the SL6 is 100km on Pure EV mode but the computer inside the unit will automatically turn on the ICE engine once the Battery percentage goes below 20%. So Technically it would be around 80km. Best to ask those who have used the SL6 for several months to get the exact range.
