I cannot WAIT to find out the price for this... Subscribe here: youtube.com/@therightcar?sub_confirmation=1--
This is the new BYD Sealion 5 PHEV, a plug-in hybrid SUV with a decent battery pack and reasonable EV range, and some interesting standard spec and tech.
It could well start below $35,000 - that's unreal for a car of this size, and it looks smaller than it actually is.
This could be a top choice for those in the market for a budget-focused plug in hybrid EV, and a commute friendly coin conscious car for conscientious customers.
OK. What about alternatives, though?

I am aiming to review every new car on the market that people actually buy, to help new-car customers like you, or curious car enthusiasts (maybe also like you) get the right steer when it comes to choosing a new set of wheels.
If you're looking for a car for yourself, monitoring the market and hunting for the latest info, or even if you've just bought your new car and you're looking to see what experts like me think about it, The Right Car will offer you something of value.
