Here at CarSauce, we review every new car on the market. We are a community of sauce givers and we’d love for you to subscribe and join our community!
We give every car “the sauce”, test their 0-100km/h, and see whether or not they are worth purchasing and spending your hard-earned cash on.
From time to time, we’ll also buy a weird and wacky car and take you on the journey with me! We release videos every Sunday 5pm AEST / AEDT with the latest new car reviews!
Your feedback is important, so if you want to see us do something new or something you would like me to change let me know! Got a question for me? Leave it in the comments! I try and respond to them all!
Catastrophic 🐈
4:03 not an expert but those high voltage orange cables seems like not a safe place to be, covered under that flammable styrofoam.
pls pls feature the cat for future reviews!
Australian spec has intelligent driving?
This honestly looks like a BYD from 5-6 years ago …
What rating did the cat give it out of 10
how much can you two bench you both look like you can bench a lot
matt when is tiggo 7 super hybrid ultimate review coming?
Makes you wonder why they have released a lower featured model which is also a really old design. Guess they want to target a different market of budget customers
I wouldn't have thought just plugging in the vehicle to load cable would work because to provide 240v needs an inverter and I can't think that vehicle to lead cable contains an inverter?
I think the cat should be in all your videos 👌
Keep dumping the old models here BYD. Will be looking elsewhere.
So this car is just $5k more than your Matto One – I know which one I would buy …
Did they take the Atto 1 back? Can't find where you've filled us in on that.
What did the cat think of the car?
Ex-BYD Atto 1? That went quickly down the drain …
2018-19 car with a new panels, unfortunately.
I hope they release byd sealion 6 dmi 2026 RHD
Here in Mexico this has been the most sold PHEV for sure. And I think it is a mediocre offering: worse range, no turbo on the combustion engine and it has no Adaptive Cruise Control. For sure the Tiggo 7 PHEV or Geely Starray are better choices.
why didnt they release the facelifted version in Australia
I think this car has a good value compared to a something like honda hrv, yes the hrv has japanese reliability but this car has better interior, features, more power, more space and a strong phev system at a lower price, and even though its not a very new design, it doesnt look old especially considering the price
Don't bring this car to the Australian market. It's still good enough, but it's definitely not new. Ship it to Southeast Asia or Africa.
That cat is a human before it became a cat. And when the cat is a human he have a dream to buy a byd. But before he buy a byd he got hit by a Toyota Land cruiser 250 🤣🤣. And after his death he born as a cat and he still have the dream. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
the eye monitor.. puts me off every car now.. new HS.. Jolion.. frig :/
Please hire the cat 😅
Video improved 200% due to heavy presence of cat
Honestly I think you're far too harsh on it. It's better built than a tiggo 7 phev, behind a Geely but atleast here in South Africa it's much cheaper.
I think BYD isnt sponsering him 😂
These launched a few months ago here in south Africa. At around 58000 aud because of our import taxes and the tiggo 7 and jaecoo j7 and sealion 6 are so much better looking.
