There are few people who can seriously discuss EVs themselves, but when it comes to Chinese EVs, it’s so bad that it’s unbelievable.
I thought I had no choice but to test it out by actually riding the car, so I decided to invest the proceeds from my thriving YouTube channel.
*Because we arranged a closed course for this test drive, it cost more than 100,000 yen to create the blog and . video

Specifications, price, and grade of the car I drove
I borrowed the RWD grade. The new car price is 5.28 million yen .
It seems that there will be up to 800,000 yen worth of subsidies and discounts limited to 1,000 units.
- Vehicle size is 4800 x 1875 x 1460
- Vehicle weight is 2100kg
- Motor output is 312PS, 360Nm
- Battery capacity is 82.56kWh
- Minimum turning radius is 5.9m
Driving feel
Handling and usability
It feels a little big in tight spaces, but it maintains a size that makes it easy to maneuver.
It is extremely easy to ride as it is equipped with assist systems such as an around view camera.
Even while driving, you can get a view from every possible viewpoint through the camera.
There is also a mode that allows you to develop 3D models in real time.
Personally, I don’t recommend or use any of these features other than the around view camera.
However, in situations where there are holes or cliffs nearby that could send you off if you make a mistake, the more you have, the better.
About ride comfort
similar to that of German cars . designed to handle a high speed range It’s an EV sports sedan, and the suspension is
Therefore, if you were driving slowly on a Japanese road at the legal speed, it would be rated as “stiff”.
The test car had air pressure of 250kpa in the front and nearly 290kpa in the rear, which also adds to the ride quality.
(In general, it is said that the higher the air pressure in an EV, the higher the electric cost and the longer the cruising range. Lowering the front end relatively is often a setting that emphasizes turning performance. )
As long as I rode in Japan, the ride quality seemed to be optimized as the speed increased .
Coupled with its natural torque, it quickly reaches speeds that would stop you from driving without a driver’s license, but you don’t feel anxious at all.
The damper doesn’t stroke much, but it doesn’t put that much of a shock into the frame.
When you drive at high speed over a road surface with a series of tall undulations at short intervals, you’ll experience a fleeting movement.
On the other hand, when driving on rough or rough roads, you will experience intermittent vibrations.
Although the shock from falling on a step is strong, the shock absorption power of the slightly stroked damper keeps the input to a level that is barely uncomfortable.
I was able to test it on a closed course up to about 160km/h, and it has plenty of driving performance even at that speed.
Even if you attack at speeds over 200km/h, it doesn’t seem to be that dangerous.
The feeling of acceleration from the motor when you step on it is stronger at medium speeds than at low speeds.
This is a car built with an eye on the 200km/h class speed range.
handling
The handling is so quirkless that I was at a loss as to what to comment on it in the past.
There is a slow pause when the car starts moving, but the neutral and flat movement typical of an EV sedan is maintained in all areas from start to finish.
Taking advantage of the ideal front-to-rear weight distribution, you can make full use of the tire grip and turn while maintaining a stable posture with the weight.
It runs so fast that even I am surprised.
Although it is quiet at the beginning of the turn, no matter how much you cut it, it will continue to head in as long as there is enough grip in the tires.
Even on narrow roads with a series of sharp curves, his natural athletic ability remains undiminished. It runs at lightning speed with turning ability that makes it hard to believe that it weighs 2 tons.
The braking power is quite high because it uses regenerative braking, but it carries risks due to its weight .
If you make a mistake in responding when you jump at overspeed or when the road surface is low , it can be frustrating.
The vehicle weight reaches 2100kg even in RWD grade and 2210kg in AWD grade.
When loaded with luggage, it can quickly reach 2.2 tons .
The tires can reach their maximum grip, but since it’s easy to pick up speed in a straight line, the weight and Japan’s harsh road conditions make it even more of a risk.
The reason why the speeding warning display is persistent and the lane departure related functions are so annoying is probably because BYD’s future image would be greatly affected if a driver were to cause an accident due to reckless driving.
When I applied full brakes on a wet road, the rear of the car seemed to be moving sideways and slowing down.
Although the limit performance is high, it is heavy and the tire load is high, so it is necessary to ensure a sufficient safety margin .
I seriously want this BYD seal.
However, this weight is the bottleneck and the only fear .
There are also rumors that a cheaper version with reduced battery capacity, weight, and price will be released.
In this case, the weight will be reduced to 1950 kg, so I would like to see how it goes. Regarding acceleration performance, even RWD is a little too fast, and the battery does not drain at all, so 61.44kWh is enough for me.
I don’t think Japanese people would want to buy a Chinese car, so if a cheaper version is available in their home country, there’s a good chance they’ll introduce it to Japan in about a year to give it a boost.
If that happens, I might actually buy one as a company car.
About the powertrain
The car I drove was the RWD grade, which has slower acceleration, but it was still a little too fast and had a scary level of acceleration.
As you can see in this video, it’s about 160km/h.
Overtaking on mountain roads is also a breeze. If the road conditions are good, you can pass it in an instant.
In terms of acceleration when you step on it, it’s sharper at medium speeds than at low speeds.
In eco mode and normal mode, the fear is gone, so even ordinary people can drive it like a normal car. The reeds are a little hard though.
AWD is not necessary except for driving on icy roads.
Some people may be a little concerned about the feeling of empty running immediately after stepping on the pedal and releasing it.
This motor torque can also be used for regenerative braking, so even those who don’t fly can benefit from energy recovery and deceleration on icy roads when going down mountain roads.
Regarding the operation of advanced safety equipment
Steering assist doesn’t turn off
Before handling, there is a weakness in the operation of the steering assist system.
You can turn off both normal lane departure assist and emergency steering assist from the main unit settings, but if you turn the system off even once, you ‘ll have to turn it on again.
Since you can call up the settings screen with a voice command, you can essentially turn it off completely with two taps.
If you drive with this on, the steering wheel will suddenly grab you.
It’s reliable that it will automatically return you when you’re about to veer out of your lane, but you can’t ride with confidence at all because your steering wheel can be photographed even during normal cornering.
cruise control
The cruise control automatically starts the car according to the car in front, but the distance between the cars is close when the car is stopped .
It seems that the adaptive cruise control distance setting does not allow you to adjust the distance between stopped cars, so I will end up in a rear-end collision . I am constantly worried that
Even with the 50 Prius that I usually drive, it sometimes has trouble operating on slopes or on trucks with complex shapes, but the BYD Seal doesn’t let up even in heavy traffic jams because of the distance between stopped cars.
Autopilot makes me so anxious that it actually makes me tired.
Regarding the steering assist, it ran in a position close to my feeling. Every time I used this type of system, I felt stressed by the movement of “always trying to move about 30 centimeters to the right of my desired running position,” but BYD was relatively better.
However, just like Tesla, it suddenly moves in a way that makes it impossible to know where it is going, making it hard to rest both mind and body. In fact, it just adds to the burden.
Since the vehicle’s straight-line performance was extremely high, I felt that it was best to limit the vehicle to a deviation warning and steer it myself.
So far, I have not come across a steering assist that works satisfactorily, other than in Subaru cars.
About brake hold
The brake hold operates smoothly, but there is a one-tempo delay in starting the car after pressing the accelerator.
It seems like comfort is prioritized, but what? Did you detect accelerator input? ? There was a momentary pause that made me feel uneasy.
exterior
Very cool. It has top-class styling among the cars seen in Japan.
It’s stylish, sophisticated, and the quality of the design shines through.
It seems that the CD value is only 0.219.
Even after parking it in a supermarket parking lot and returning home, I find myself thinking, “What is that cool car?”
It’s perfect for someone like me who hates shiny luxury cars but loves high-performance cars.
It looks cool every time I see it, and that alone makes me want it.
When did the design of Chinese EVs evolve so much?
The inside of the taillights also have a beautiful glow that looks like they are sprinkled with red elements.
Only one rear fog is installed at the bottom right.
There is a button on the door that activates a smart lock when pressed. The same goes for locking the door.
I pull open the door handle, which looks like an LC500 and proudly says BYD.
When you open the hood, everything is covered. The only parts that come in contact with it are the front, washer fluid, and probably the coolant. The cover cannot be removed without tools.
This photo was taken while I was connecting the car to a 50kw fast charger after driving for about two hours on a cool summer night, and I can see that it was getting hotter.
The capacity of Fronck seems to be about 53 liters. It would be enough to carry just the charging cable and emergency kit.
The charging ports are located on the right back. The cover is made of weak rubber and looks like it might tear if handled roughly.
When buying a used BYD sticker, you may be able to determine whether the previous owner cover the treated the car carefully and how often the car was used for quick charging, depending on whether remains .
The door handle came out immediately after I put it in D, but it closes automatically when I start driving.
Interior
Just like the exterior, the interior is beautiful and of high quality. Everyone will be surprised in a good way.
There are more areas where leather is used than I expected. The quality of the leather is high, and the material is very soft to the touch.
Isn’t this the same material used for BMW’s interior?
Or rather, does BMW purchase leather from Chinese manufacturers? The level I think.
The surface texture of the plastic panels has been devised, and there is nothing about the interior that makes it feel cheap.
About how to operate the shift
A crystal shift like I’ve seen on Volvos.
P is a button. For D range, push down, and for back, push up.
The gear you want to engage and the input direction are completely separate, so once you get used to it, you won’t make any shift mistakes.
The placement of the start/stop button between shift and P makes me want to prick, but I got used to it within seconds.
Even if you press the stop button before pressing the P button, it will automatically go into P and turn off the power , so you can skip one step when parking.
I wonder if it would be more beautiful to start the car at night if the start/stop button was embedded in the ambient lighting.
From the top left, brake hold on/off, blind spot monitor on/off, snow mode, mode switching dial, P range, car audio volume and mute, windshield defogging, air conditioner on/off, automatic air conditioner on/off button. .
About the steering wheel buttons
Let’s start by looking at the left side.
By pressing the button with the car icon circled in the upper right corner, you can bring out the around-view camera.
The button below rotates the screen.
On the bottom left, you can change the following distance in four stages when using the cruise control system. The one on the left brings you closer, and the one on the right lets you move away.
Regarding cruise control, pressing the button with the leftmost steering wheel symbol activates the autopilot.
Adjust the speed in 5km/h increments with the knob. If you tilt it up during an interruption, it will return to the speed before the interruption.
Pressing the button labeled “RES・SET” will set the cruise control system at the current vehicle speed.
Next, let’s look on the right side.
At the bottom left is the audio mode switch. At the bottom right is the “Hi, BYD” activation button. During that time, the phone-related settings screen will be called.
The top right is the car audio volume adjustment. Push in to mute. Select songs using the left and right buttons.
You can operate the meter by pressing the button on the top left, but since you are touching it in the same place as the audio volume adjustment button, you will often make mistakes until you get used to it.
Also, you may accidentally press the volume/channel selection button while cornering.
Other interior introductions
Let’s take a quick look.
The doorknob has a deep metallic decoration on the back side, and a speaker is placed on the back side.
It was the most beautiful doorknob I’ve ever seen. If you don’t use a lot of force to close the door, it tends to stay ajar.
The interior panels are very satisfying with leather, Alcantara, and ambient lighting.
The part with the silver line is made of hard plastic, but it doesn’t look cheap.
Mirrors, power windows, and locking panels. It is rare that the child lock can be turned on and off from the driver’s seat.
The lower side is hard plastic. There is an electric trunk switch.
There is a latch at the foot to open the front. You can’t open it unless you pull it twice.
There is also sound insulation material underfoot.
ETCのユニットを入れてくれと言わんばかりの小物入れ。内側まで起毛仕上げ。
Air conditioner vent with attention to design.
I am dissatisfied with the fact that the wind direction can only be adjusted from within the navigation system.
The part with the vertical lines has a plastic-like feel, but it’s recessed so you can’t touch it, and it has a high-quality appearance, so it feels good.
テスラはコストカットの正当化のためにミニマリストを追求しすぎているが、BYDのほうは普通の乗用車のように装飾やボタンを入れてくれてるので親しみやすい。
The matte texture of the turn signal stick also feels nice.
It comes with a one-touch turn signal, and you can use the rear fog by twisting the inside.
From the top, the headlights are off, auto, small, and headlights, and if it’s in the auto position, you can also use auto high beam.
The button on the tip is for the trip meter.
The left side is wiper related operations. It moves in the opposite direction to the Japanese one.
Push down once for a single wipe. When you pull it, washer fluid comes out.
When tilted upward, it switches from intermittent operation to normal operation to high-speed operation.
The auto wiper seems to activate during intermittent operation, and can be adjusted to four levels using the knob inside the stick. There was a scene where I drove in the rain, but I couldn’t really tell the difference…
The smartphone storage area above the shift supports wireless charging.
The center console armrest has an area for IC card authentication.
The center console box has a decent capacity. The inside is brushed.
The center console is two-story, with a cigarette lighter socket, two types of USB ports, and a hole for inserting a micro SD card at the bottom.
For some reason, the USB-C port on the left side was not compatible with AppleCarPlay.
bz4xとは異なり、グローブボックスもちゃんと装備されている。
I tried putting 7-Eleven coffee in the cup holder.
It took some time to take it out, but I was able to use it without any problems.
About quietness/audio
Both quietness and audio quality are at a very high level.
As for the quietness, when you turn off the audio and air conditioner, you’ll be amazed at how quiet a car can run.
I don’t know if it will be as quiet as it is even if I do all the deadening and put good tires on my Prius…
The audio is also clear and clear from high to low even when the volume is turned up.
Personally, I would be happy if the clarity was a little higher when the volume was turned up, but I have one that ranks among the top among commercially available cars.
Regarding the suitability of sleeping in a car
There’s plenty of interior space, and even if you fold down the second row and lie down, your head won’t be in the air.
There’s plenty of space to stretch your legs and sleep comfortably.
However, the difference in the back is worrisome and requires countermeasures.
Furthermore, the glass roof provides a wonderful sense of freedom.
However, it has the disadvantage of becoming unreasonably hot if left in the scorching sun.
I left it in the sun from 4 a.m. to 11 p.m., but the inside of the car was so hot that it almost burned me.
Also, the effectiveness of the air conditioner is not very good.
I’ve heard that “EVs can operate their air conditioners with high voltage, so they quickly warm up in winter,” but I think this BYD’s air conditioner is weak, except for the fact that it’s a heat pump type.
trunk room
When you open the bottom of the floor, you’ll find a triangular display board, a puncture repair kit, and a compressor.
It is even equipped with a reflective vest. I’ve never seen a car model that includes this.
Chinese stickers. Apparently he passed some kind of test, but 9,13 doesn’t mean September 13th.
The electric trunk button also has a lock function after it is properly closed.
I intentionally tried to pinch my finger, but it returned automatically without any particular force being applied.
Navigation system usability
In this article, we will mainly introduce large navigation screens like Tesla’s.
Navigation, Spotify, and radio apps are lined up on the far left of the home screen.
It’s annoying that the navigation app also restarts every time I start the system.
About the shortcut button at the bottom
Buttons lined up at the bottom of the screen. The far right one is “Go back”. The second from the right is the home button. You can return to the home menu from anywhere.
Rotate the navigation screen
The navigation screen can be rotated 90 degrees using two buttons: one at the bottom of the LCD screen and one in the steering wheel.
However, when I held it vertically during the day, I was concerned about the reflection.
I think I only use it in landscape. I don’t think there is much benefit to me in terms of cost or risk of failure…
The device settings app is also optimized for portrait screens, and is playful and interesting.
air conditioning
You can change the temperature itself at any time from the bottom right. There is almost no stress if the automatic air conditioner is left to its own devices.
When you tap the temperature at the bottom right, an air conditioning overlay will appear, where you can switch between temperature, wind direction, and internal air circulation and outside air intake.
The problem is that the air volume adjustment is on the left side, making it difficult to adjust each step. You can only adjust the wind direction from this screen. Same as Tesla.
The ventilation/heating tab allows you to turn seat heating, ventilation, and steering heating on and off.
The air purification mode helped me a lot. While driving with the windows open, he ended up getting behind a truck that was emitting toxic exhaust fumes, which caused him to experience physical symptoms such as coughing and eye pain.
So I closed the windows and tried using the rapid clean mode, and within just 1km of driving, the environment inside the car immediately improved.
This is a great feature that allows you to quickly escape from damage caused by old trucks and 2-stroke motorcycles that smell like exhaust gas .
It automatically turns off after a certain amount of time, so you don’t have to worry about forgetting to turn it off.
There is a function that reduces the airflow volume of the air conditioner when Hi,BYD is started, and a menu of the system that operates the air conditioner inside the car even when you are away from the car.
You can also change the wallpaper and theme.
Audio presets and custom settings are also available from the main unit settings menu.
There is also a change in units. Setting the power to HP makes it easier to see the instantaneous energy meter on the left side of the meter, but it becomes difficult to see how many Kw are being output during quick charging. Kw recommended.
There is also a menu for advanced safety equipment, but depending on the item, the system resets every time you turn it off, which can be very annoying.
How to solve the problem of steering assist where the steering wheel is taken without permission
A problem that frequently occurs when driving a BYD or recent Toyota car is that the steering assist intervenes and takes over the steering wheel without permission.
To cancel this, first open the device settings app,
Open ADAS in the upper right corner,
Open “Lane Support System” in the Driving Assist tab,
Lane assist at the top,
You also need to turn off the emergency lane keep assist below.
This must be done every time you start the system .
If you don’t turn both off, the steering wheel will suddenly be taken off by itself, causing stress and strange fatigue.
The steering wheel can be taken without permission, as has been the case with Toyotas in recent years, but once you turn the steering wheel from within the navigation system, the settings are saved.
This may be the biggest dissatisfaction with the BYD seal.
How to turn off the screen during a nap?
Set “Multimedia Screensaver” to OFF from Display in System Settings.
The driver’s side meter can be dimmed using the vehicle monitor’s brightness control.
Pressing the power button on the far left turns off the screen.
Tap again to make it brighter again.
How to use the meter screen on the driver’s seat side
Unlike Tesla, it also has a display on the driver’s seat.
Coupled with the heads-up display, it is easy to drive as there is no strange eye movement.
To operate the navigation screen or turn off the speed violation warning, first press the button circled in red, then the same buttons as the car audio use .
There have been many cases in which the song has returned automatically during operation, and when trying to move to the right, the song automatically changes to the next song.
It would be crazy if it happened while I was playing a long video or audiobook .
This control system is bad.
Now, let’s take a look inside the navigation. When you press the button circled in red, the display in the center of the meter changes.
連続運転時間や平均時速の表示。
これは充放電の状況が見られるモニター。
Two types of electricity consumption display. Is it a switch between the most recent 50km and the most recent 100km?
Personally, I would appreciate switching between Wh/km and km/kWh…
Comes with air pressure monitor. It’s convenient to be able to check from inside the meter, since you don’t have to stop at every gas station.
If you go to the right, you will find some speed settings. Is it the cruise control speed setting?
I didn’t really understand.
You can change the meter design in two ways. Classic is recommended because the motor output and regeneration status are displayed as bars.
You can adjust the air conditioner temperature here. I don’t use this much because I touch it right from inside the LCD, but it might be useful when I’m playing a movie on the screen…
You can also adjust the air volume of the air conditioner here. It is unclear whether it is easy to use because the automatic air conditioner is disabled.
A screen that is likely to be displayed if there is an error.
Acceleration timer.
Not in track mode. Automatically measures 0-100 acceleration time with cool animation.
This screen stays fixed while charging. It is connected to a 50kw class charger, but it allows 42.7kw even at 86% over.
On the contrary, the charging capacity is at a level that raises concerns about safety and durability.
Now, these are the keys. The bubbles are visible because the protective film has not been removed. I didn’t understand the bottom function.
Cumulative electricity cost is 6.41km/kWh
The cumulative average electricity consumption for the most recent 611km drive was 15.6kWh/100km. This 6.41km/kWh . amounted to
Driving down empty highways at speeds that would make you lose your license, driving down mountain roads late at night, using the air conditioning during the day, and driving safely on crowded roads while paying attention to your surroundings.
It is doubtful that if you drive the same way with bz4x, you will get 4km/kWh. Electricity costs are good. It can be said that the performance is slightly above average.
Of course, the electricity costs are based on testing various ways of driving, so if you focus on eco-driving, you’ll probably get much better numbers.
Comparison with EV Native’s verification results
The image below EV Native’s seal verification video . was posted in
As explained in the previous research article, the electricity consumption when driving at an average speed of 100km/h is 7.12km/kWh.
My value of 6.41 is a worse actual electric power ratio than cruising at 100km on the expressway.
About charging and 15 minute recovery distance (electricity cost is calculated at 6.765km/kWh)
Charging session ①: 50kw class, 73% → 96% in 36 minutes
It was connected to the 50kw class for 36 minutes from 23:31 to 24:07.
The remaining capacity before charging was 73%. The meter says I can drive another 462km.
The output of 42.7kw is maintained even after 85%.
Thirty minutes passed in the blink of an eye as I took videos of the interior and exterior and recorded text for this blog.
By the time I finished charging, it had recovered to 96%. Even at 96%, the output is 42.5kW.
It was charged at approximately 42.5kW for 36 minutes, so approximately 25.5kW was used.
25.5kw in 36 minutes, 7kw in 10 minutes and 10.63kw in 15 minutes .
Charging session ②: 50kw class, 89% → 100% in 18 minutes
From 1:33 to 1:51, I charged at 50kw until it stopped at 100%.
11% of 82.56kWh is 9.1kWh.
Since there is almost no chance of getting this far with a quick charge, I think I will omit it from the calculation of the 15-minute recovery distance.
This roadside station has a 100kw class power plant.
Since I’m a YouTuber, I’m motivated to make videos like “Will a Chinese EV burn if it’s super-fast charged?”
I came here for that purpose, but the battery had about 90% remaining. I would be sorry if another EV came while I was charging, so I connected it to the 50kw class next door.
When I took a short break and started recording electricity costs again, the vehicle automatically stopped charging at 100%.
I still wanted to rest…
The output began to drop just before the automatic stop, and the output dropped to 10kw a few seconds before the automatic shutdown.
Try to find the 15 minute recovery distance in a 50kw class using an actual vehicle.
From the two charging sessions and reference electricity costs just mentioned, let’s find out how many kilometers of cruising range can be recovered by connecting to a 50kw class power source for 15 minutes.
However, the second time I connected it until it stopped at 100%, so I will use the numbers from the first charging session.
Just to be sure, the cruising range on a full tank at this electricity cost approximately 558 km . is
Calculated based on the battery capacity of 82.56kWh. If you connect it to a 50kw class, it will charge 25.5kw in 30 minutes, 8.5kw in 10 minutes, the 90kw class will charge 42kw in 30 minutes assuming that 84kw will last forever, and the charging performance of the 150kw class is based on the verification results of Mr. EV Native in 30 minutes. 38.55kw, 12.8kw in 10 minutes.
First, a 30 minute recovery distance. If you look closely, the reversal phenomenon in which the 90kw class is faster than the 150kw class is due to the method of measurement. The actual recovery distance will likely be much longer.

Comparison of cruising distance by driving condition with BYD seal (RWD) and 10-minute and 30-minute recovery distance with quick charging by A Certain Black Gentleman’s Future Laboratory
For electric cars, 50kw class quick chargers are in the slow category.
Almost all EV users only stop at quick chargers of 90kW class or higher.
A 50kw class charger minimum supplement to cover areas where there are no chargers of 90kw class or higher . is only used as a
drive 558km on a full tank, about 446km on an 80% tank, and 335km on a 60% tank . You can
This if you leave your home in Tokyo with a full tank, you Osaka can reach means that without recharging. (In the map below, Himeji Castle is the destination, but I say Osaka because it seems suspicious depending on the driving pace of the Shin Tomei Expressway’s 120km/h limit and the air conditioning.)
Apparently there is a 150kw class train for both up and down lines in the Wangan Nagashima service area just outside Nagoya. It doesn’t matter if you rush up to this point without taking a break.
(There are only two 150kw class units in Wangan Nagashima, and when the second unit starts charging, it is limited to 90kw, so it has a strong gacha element.)
(Anxiety due to Chinese cars)
Chinese products have long been associated with the image of being cheap or bad.
Everyone has probably bought something online and made a mistake, or heard bad news about products related to China on a daily basis.
This is the same for BYD, and there have been reports of problems such as airbags not deploying or brakes not working in the event of an accident.
Are you talking about cheap stuff?
No, the problem with the brakes not working happened on the Dolphin.
Is the car the cause of a runaway accident? Is it the rider’s fault?
I don’t know about people who are criticizing people who have never ridden an EV, but EVs are basically ridiculously fast vehicles.
It normally produces acceleration that is equivalent to a 3-liter 6-cylinder turbo in a gasoline car.
The grip limit of the tires is also high, so there is no danger even if you step on it roughly, but there will still be times when wheelspin will occur.
If you make a mistake in control at that point, you’ll end up in an accident like Show Off Fails in American cars.
The acceleration performance and stability are so high that you can reach over 160 km/h on the highway without even realizing it.
Even if an accident occurs while riding at such speed, it is completely the rider’s fault.
But that doesn’t mean that the anxiety caused by Chinese cars will go away.
As far as I drove and verified, it was a very high quality car, but considering the individual differences, I still have some concerns.
In the next few months, some type of accident or fire will occur.
